the amount of FPGA IO pins
requires. 'd' is used for differential
pairs. 1d Will thus requre 2 IOs

SLB

FPGA

The SMT338-VP board uses a Xilinx Virtex II Pro (XC2VP20 or XC2VP30) to control
the data flow between the SMT338-VP board and external devices. The FPGA is
also used to implement the SHB, SLB, comport and DDR SDRAM interfaces.
The FPGA is configured via comport 3.

Memory

The SMT338-VP board contains four 166 MHz DDR SDRAM components (from
Micron:

MT46V16M16FN

) that provide each 32 MB of storage capacity.

The DDR SDRAM is a high-speed CMOS, dynamic random-access memory.
Examples of DDR SDRAM controller are provided by Xilinx.
