PROTOTYPING MODULE
Overview
The SLSC-12101 is a prototyping module intended to help SLSC module developers quickly
prototype designs. The module is Level-2 compatible, but can be Level-1 compatible if you
configure the rear I/O signals properly.
The SLSC-12101 features a MAX V CPLD as a module controller, which is pre-programmed
to provide basic access to the board peripherals. The MAX V CPLD is divided into four banks,
and the I/O for each is routed to its own region in the prototyping area. Each bank may have
independent voltage settings to allow the use of different digital standards supported by the
CPLD. Custom circuitry in the prototyping area has access to 24 V and 3.3 V rails from the
backplane, 5 V from the auxiliary power supply and corresponding bank power supply. Two of
the regions of the prototyping area, Bank 1 and Bank 2, include connections to two 44-pin
DSUB connectors in the front panel. A fifth region in the prototyping area, labeled RTI,
provides additional space to access the upper rear I/O connectors.
The peripherals designed into the SLSC-12101 board include two front panel LEDs (which
follow the recommendations of the SLSC Design Guidelines), a 16-position rotary switch, four
temperature sensors, and 17 ports 8-bit wide routed to their corresponding banks in the
prototyping area.
Additionally, to ease debugging and prototyping, a JTAG header compatible with Altera's USB
Blaster pinout is populated on the board which allows you to program the CPLD with a
custom design. A MICTOR connector exists between the CPLD and the SLSC connector to
allow monitoring of the SLSC interface signals using a logic analyzer such as the one on NI
VirtualBench.

Getting Started with the SLSC-12101
The SLSC-12101 can be inserted into an SLSC chassis and used the way it is shipped.
Note The SLSC chassis and SLSC modules do not support hot plug-in. The entire
chassis must be powered down when a module is installed or removed.
1. Ensure the CPLD power supplies are properly set.
After taking the module out of its packaging, check that three jumpers are inserted
between pins 5 and 10 of headers W2, W3, and W4. This ensures that the voltage is set to
3.3 V for the CPLD I/O banks 2, 3, and 4.
1Quartus Design Software is offered in a variety of editions with different features and price ranges.

Figure 1. Jumper Configuration
2. Install the module in the SLSC chassis.
Power off the SLSC chassis and then insert the module into an available slot. If you are
using the JTAG connector to program the CPLD or MICTOR cable to a logic analyzer,
leave one empty slot to the right of the module for cable routing. Connect the cable(s)
before inserting the module in the chassis.
3. Power up the chassis.
As soon as the chassis is powered up, the power LED of the front panel of the
SLSC-12101 should be lit green. The chassis will boot-up and start querying the slots for
module presence. Once the module is detected, the Ready LED should be lit green.
4. Access the module's properties and physical channels.
Use a host computer with LabVIEW and the NI-SLSC driver installed, and connected to
the same network as the SLSC chassis. Open SLSC-12101.vi. This VI gives you
access to the properties and physical channels that control the peripherals of the module.
You can control the LEDs, read the value dialed in the rotary switch, and access all the
DIO going to the prototyping area.

Electrical Features
The Input Rails and Fuse
The module takes its power from the 24 V and 3.3 V provided by the chassis. 3.3 V is only
used for the VCCO of Bank 1 and other support circuitry such as the 40 MHz oscillator, flash
memory, and thermal sensors. The rest of the banks and the core power used by the CPLD
come from cascaded switcher regulators powered from an auxiliary 5 V supply connected to
the 24 V rail. Banks 2-4 can be set to different values to allow you to use different digital
standards available in the CPLD.
All the 24 V, 5 V, and Banks 1-4 VCCOs are available in the prototyping area to be used by
the support circuitry required by your design. You should make sure your design does not
exceed the power limitations of these rails.
As required by the Switch Load and Signal Conditioning Module Design Specifications, the
24 V power supply is protected by a 3.5 mA fuse. See the SLSC-12101 Bill of Materials for
more information.
8| ni.com | SLSC-12101 User Guide
Auxiliary 5 V Power Supply
The programmable power supplies and the CPLD core power supply of 1.8 V are all powered
by an auxiliary 5 V power supply which is powered from the 24 V provided by the SLSC
chassis. This 5 V power supply is also available in the prototyping area. The power supply can
support a maximum of 6 A.
Variable Voltage Power Supplies
The MAX V supports VCCIO of 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V in order to use several
I/O standards. The SLSC-12101 has user-configurable power supplies for three of the four
CPLD banks. The voltages are set by placing a jumper in the corresponding header connecting
the pair labeled with the desired voltage. The jumper should be placed on the board before the
module is inserted in the SLSC chassis.
Once a voltage is set for a bank, all the signals on that bank need to use an I/O standard
supported by that voltage. For more information about the supported I/O standards and rules to
interconnect I/O standards with the MAX V CPLD, refer to Altera's MAX V Device Handbook.
The voltages of all the banks are also routed to the prototyping area to allow the circuits built
there to use it. The maximum current that can be withdrawn from each bank depends on the
maximum current the source can provide, as well as the estimated current used by the CPLD.
Bank 1 is powered directly from the SLSC chassis and, by SLSC Specification 1.0, the module
shall not withdraw more than 400 mA. Banks 2-4 take their power from 24 V on-board power
supplies and can provide up to 2 A. In addition to the limitations imposed by the current limits
on the different rails on the module, you should also consider the power dissipation limitations
as defined in the Switch Load and Signal Conditioning Module Design Specifications.

Module Controller
The SLSC-12101 Module Controller is implemented using Altera's MAX V
5M1270ZF256I5N. The CPLD is shipped pre-programmed with the compiled version of the
Slsc12101Top.vhd design also included in the SLSC Module Development Kit. The
controller's default image already implements the EdBlock.vhd design to handle SLSC
Frames and the required compliance registers as described in Chapter 8 of the Switch Load
and Signal Conditioning Design Specifications. Through the ED Mode, the controller can
access the peripherals present on the board, such as the front panel LEDs, the front panel
rotary switch, and 17 8-bit I/O ports routed from the CPLD to the prototyping area.
SLSC-12101 User Guide | © National Instruments | 9
CPLD Programming
The SLSC-12101 has a header that directly connects to Altera's USB Blaster to quickly
program the CPLD with a custom design. You can use the SLSC12101Top.vhd file provided
in the SLSC Module Development Kit as a starting point for development.
Front Panel LEDs
The SLSC-12101 has Power and Ready LEDs as recommended in section 3.6 of the Switch
Load and Signal Conditioning Design Specifications. The LEDs can be lit red, yellow, and
green—continuously or blinking—so you can implement the information in Table 3-1 of that
specification. The default module controller behavior implements the Power Solid Green and
the Ready Solid Green as recommended in Table 3-1.
The Leds.vhd component provided with the SLSC Module Development Kit implements an
easy interface to control the LEDs through the NI.ReadyLedColor, NI.ReadyLedMode,
NI.PowerLedColor, and NI.PowerLedMode properties described in the capabilities file
included as part of the kit.
Rotary Switch
The 16-position, 4-bit rotary switch on the front panel is accessible from the CPLD. The value
can be accessed through the SLSC API using the NI.RotarySwitch property.
SI5356A Clock Generator
The module has pads for you to add an SI5356A clock generator should you need more clocks
in your design. This clock generator can provide up tp four different frequencies on eight pins.
Each output clock has two pins. In the SLSC-12101, one pin is routed to a global clock pin of
the CPLD, and another pin is routed to the prototyping area. For more information on the
routing of these clocks to the prototyping area, refer to the pinout sections and the
SLSC-12101 Schematic.
Design Development, Characterization, and
Debugging
The SLSC-12101 was designed to provide an easy way to prototype SLSC modules in
development. Use the resources provided by the SLSC chassis, the module controller, and the
connectors to help you implement your design, to characterize some aspects such as power
consumption and dissipation, as well as for increased visibility for diagnostics.
Prototyping Area
Most of the board consists of the prototyping areas, which are filled with hole arrays of
2.54 mm (0.100 in.) pitch. These are all plated holes to ease soldering. There are five main
grid areas for prototyping: Bank 1, Bank 2, Bank 3, Bank 4, and RTI. Each bank gives access
to signals of the corresponding bank on the CPLD as well as to the corresponding bank
VCCO. Banks 1 and 2 also provide access to the front panel connectors.
