Power-monitoring
FPGA
U13
Microsemi SmartFusion
®
FPGA (A2F200M3F-1FGG256I)
used for power sequence and monitoring the voltage rails
on the PolarFire Splash Board.
Clocks
On-board 50-MHz
clock oscillator
Y2
50-MHz clock oscillator with single-ended output.
OSC
Y3
125-MHz oscillator (differential LVDS output) which is the
input to the DS08MB200TSQ clock MUX buffer.
FPGA Programming and Debugging
USB-UART terminal
J1
FTDI programmer interface to program the PolarFire
device based on the jumper settings.
SPI flash
U33
1-Gb Micron MT25QL01GBBB8ESF-0SIT SPI flash
memory device connected to SPI pins on bank3 of the
PolarFire device.
FT4232H
U7
USB-to-quad serial ports in various configurations.
JTAG programming
header
J15
Header to program and debug the PolarFire device using
FlashPro4 or FlashPro5. The appropriate programmer
(FlashPro4 or FlashPro5) must be selected in the FlashPro
software.
Communication Interfaces
x4 PCIe edge
connector
CON1
PCIe edge connector with four XCVR0 lanes.
One 10/100/1000
Ethernet RJ45
connector
J14
Ethernet (RJ45) jack with external magnetics interfacing
with Microsemi 10/100/1000 BASE-T PHY (VSC8541) in
RGMII mode. The PHY interfaces with the Ethernet ports of
the PolarFire device.
FMC LPC connector
J17
FMC connector with one XCVR lane and 34 differential
pairs (LPC[0:33])
Memory Chips
DDR4 Memory
U18 and U22
Two 4-GB (IS43QR16256A 256M × 16) chips are
connected in Fly-by topology with a 32-bit data bus for
storing data bits. For more information, request the
datasheet from the
ISSI website
.
General Purpose I/O
Switches
SW3, SW4, SW5,
and SW6
Push-button switches for user-interface debugging
applications.
DIP Switches
SW8
Eight DIP switches for testing.
Light-emitting diodes
(LEDs)
LED4 to LED11
Eight active-high LEDs connected to some of the user I/Os
for debugging, and twelve active high LEDs used for
indicating power supply.
Reset switch
SW2
Push-button system reset for the PolarFire device. Users
must program thi.s GPIO for PolarFire device reset
function.
