1 Introduction

The SMT351T is an FPGA TIM module designed to be integrated in modular
systems.

It is designed to connect to the huge range of other TIM modules and carriers
developed by Sundance.

Sundance modular solutions provide flexible and upgradeable systems.

The SMT351T is a TIM module aimed at completing the range of Sundance
Virtex4 and Virtex5 modules like

5H5HHT

SMT362

TH6H6HHTSMT339TH

,

7H7HHT

SMT339

TH

.

It provides a communications platform between an XC5VSXT/LXT device and

• 2 banks of DDR2 SDRAM at a frequency of up to 250Mhz.

• 4

RSL

TH

, connectors (up to 4 times .4 MGTs)

• LVDS connections for high speed parallel connections

• LVTTL connections and connectors.

This variety of connectors and interfaces provides a wide range of development
options for designers to explore the capabilities of the comprehensive Sundance
TIM modules family.

This module conforms to the TIM standard (Texas Instrument Module, See

9H9HHT

TI TIM

specification & User’s guide

TH

) for single width modules.

It sits on a carrier board.

The carrier board provides power (5V, 3.3V, +/-12V), ground, communication links
(Comport links or for some RSL links as well) between all the modules fitted and a
pathway to the host.

The SMT351T requires a 3.3V power supply (as present on all Sundance TIM
carrier boards), which must be provided by the two diagonally opposite mounting
holes.
