ProASIC3/E Starter Kit User’s Guide and Tutorial 5

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Actel ProASIC3/E Starter Kit.

This guide provides the information required to easily evaluate the ProASIC3/E devices.

Document Contents

Chapter 1 – “Contents and System Requirements” describes the contents of the ProASIC3/E Starter Kit.

Chapter 2 – “HardwareComponents”describesthe componentsof the ProASIC3/E Evaluation Board.

Chapter3 –“Setupand SelfTest” describeshow to setup theProASIC3/E Evaluation Board and how to perform a self

test.

Chapter 4 – “Description of Test Design” describes the existing design on the ProASIC3/E Evaluation Board.

Chapter 5 – “LVDS Signal Evaluation” explains test setup and design, reports the measurements performed on the

board, and makes recommendations to increase the LVDS signal quality in order to meet the performance criteria.

Chapter 6 – “Actel VHDL ProASIC3/E Design Flow” introduces the design flow for VHDL using the Actel Libero®

Integrated Design Environment (IDE) suite.

Chapter 7 – “Quick Start Tutorial” illustrates a VHDL design for a ProASIC3/E starter kit board.

Chapter 8– “Test Procedures for Board Testing” details the test procedure to be carried out at the Actel designated

manufacturer's testing facility on the ProASIC3/E Evaluation Board with silkscreen labeling A3PE-A3P-EVAL-BRD-

1REV3.

Appendix A –“PQ208 Package Connections for A3PE600 and A3P250 Devices” provides a table listing the board

connections.

Appendix B – “BoardSchematics”provides illustrations ofthe ProASIC3/E Evaluation Board.

Appendix C – “Signal Layers” provides illustrations for the six signal layers of the Evaluation Board.

Appendix D– “ProductSupport” describes Actel support services.

Document Assumptions

This user’s guide assumes:

• You intend to use Actel Libero IDE software.

• You have installed and are familiar with Actel Libero IDE v6.2 SP1 or later software.

• You are familiar with VHDL.

• You are familiar with PCs and Windows operating systems.

Hardware Components

This chapter describes the hardware components of the ProASIC3/E Evaluation Board.

ProASIC3/E Evaluation Board

Figure 2-1 on page 10 illustrates a top-level view of the ProASIC3/E Evaluation Board.

The ProASIC3/E Evaluation Board consists of the following:

• Wall mount power supply connector, with switch and LED indicator

• Switches to select from among 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V – I/O voltages on banks 4 and 5 (southern side)

• 10-pin 0.1 inch pitch programming connector compatible with Altera connections

• 40 MHz oscillator and two independent manual clock options for global reset and pulse

• Eight LEDs (driven by outputs from the device)

• Jumpers (allow disconnection of all external circuitry from the FPGA)

• Two monostable pulse generator switches ("global" and "reset")

• Four switches (provide input to the device)

• Two hex switches to provide four inputs each to the FPGA, and which are set to a user-switchable hexadecimal input

value

• Large LCD alphanumeric display to facilitate detailed message outputs from the FPGA application

For further information, refer to the following appendices:

Appendix A – “PQ208 Package Connections for A3PE600 and A3P250 Devices” on page 71.

Appendix B – “Board Schematics” on page 81.

Detailed Board Description and Usage

The ProASIC3 Starter kit board has various advanced features that are covered in later sections of this chapter. It will be

noted that the Advanced Prototyping Starter Kit has a socket on the board into which an end user may place any

ProASIC3 device, as all devices in both the ProASIC3 and ProASIC3E families are available in the PQ208 package.

The EVAL kit version can be identified as the one that has the FPGA soldered directly to the board.

A block diagram of the ProASIC3 Starter kit board is shown in Figure 2-1 on page 10 and will facilitate understanding

of the more detailed schematics shown in this tutorial in the appendix, “Board Schematics” on page 81.

Full schematics areavailable on the Starter Kit Tutorial CD that is supplied with the Starter Kit. The schematics are also

available for download from the Actel website. The electronic versions of the dedicated schematics can naturally be

enlarged to a far greater degree than can be shown in the printed version of this manual or even in the electronic version

of this manual, hence the interested reader is referred to the dedicated schematics to see the appropriate level of detail.
