Sundance SMT338-VP - Manual (Page 5)

Version 1.3 Page 5 of 22 SMT338-VP User Manual
Introduction
Overview
The SMT338-VP is a single width TIM base module that provides a communication
platform between a Virtex-II Pro VP30 FPGA and the on-board 128MB Double Data
Rate SDRAM memory,
Rocket IOs for high speed serial connections, LVDS
connections for high speed parallel connections and LVTTL connections and
connectors.
The SMT338-VP can be coupled with analogue daughter boards such as
SMT390 ,
SMT391 or SMT381 for high performance DAQ applications.
The FPGA is configured at power-up via comport. The configuration process is
controlled by a microprocessor MSP430.
Features
● 128MBytes of DDR SDRAM 133 MHz for sample storage.
● Two Standard Sundance comports,
● Two SHB interfaces for easy interconnection to Sundance products,
● RSL (RocketIO Serial Link) interfaces for fast transfers,
● On-board MSP430 microprocessor.
Power consumption
The SMT338-VP consumes about 2.12 Watts in idle state (FPGA not configured),
and about 5.67 Watts once the FPGA is configured (bitstream for the SMT391-VP).
