System Control
Control of the system is provided via a TI MPS430 micro-controller. This is run at 8MHz, and
provides several dozen user-defined pins. These are connected as shown below.

Starting at the top, the MPS430 is connected via an I2C serial bus to a DS1805
programmable potentiometer. This pot is inserted into the DC-DC converter feedback, and
thus can be used to adjust the DC-DC’s output. The output is pre-set to 1.25V on power-up.
The minimum value is 0.9V, and the maximum is above the Texas Instruments
recommended voltage. Exceeding the absolute maximum voltage will cause damage to the
DSP.
Also a fixed oscillator connected to the I2C bus is alternatively, a DS1085L programmable
oscillator can be provided (build option). This enables a wide range of frequencies to be
generated for the DSP core clock input.
The DSP shares two oscillators for the EMIF bus speed. EMIF_B is run at 50MHz, whereas
EMIF_A is run at 120MHz. The MPS430 is able to hold the DSPs in a reset state, and then it
can change the CLKMODE (PLL multiplier), and EMIF bus speed options (via pins BEA17-
14).
The assertion of the FPGA’s PROGRAM pin (clears the configuration) is under control of
both the MPS430 and the DSP (connected to BCE2). The MPS430 will assert this pin if it
detects that the FPGA’s core temperature has risen to an unacceptable level.
