Testing the Board
UG0048 User Guide Revision 5.1

10. TP10 should be 2.5 V (values ±0.2 V are acceptable).
11. TP47 should be 5.0 V (values ±0.2 V are acceptable).
12. J14C pin 106 should be 3.3 V (values ±0.2 V are acceptable). Note that jumper JP48 must be in
place for this measurement, otherwise zero will be recorded.
13. That completes the initial power-on check. The board should now be switched off by moving SW11
to the OFF position (to the left).
7.2.2
Testing Board Functionality with A3PE1500-PQ208 Silicon
The following steps describe the functionality to test the board.
1.
Record the time of the test and the board serial number (written by the bar code on the back of the
board) into a test log.
2.
Make sure the switch SW11 is in the OFF position (i.e., to the left.)
3.
Apply power to the board by attaching the +9 V DC supply to J18. Only the red LED should be
illuminated.
4.
Undo the four screws holding the socket of U8 in place. Remove the lid of the socket.
5.
Place a pre-programmed A3PE1500-PQ208 part into the socket using the appropriate vacuum pen
while observing anti-static precautions. Make sure that pin 1 of the FPGA is oriented correctly. The
Microsemi SoC Products Group logo on the part should match the orientation of the Microsemi SoC
Products Group logo on the board just above the A3PE-STARTER-KIT-2 part number. Take great
care to make sure all pins are in correct alignment so that the FPGA is on a level plane parallel to the
board.
6.
Carefully replace the socket cover and screw down all four corners to appropriate tightness. It is
recommended to do opposite corners first so as to lessen rotational torque on the part.
7.
Supply power to on-chip PLL by connecting respective supply pin to analog supply rails. Place
jumper on JP50 to power the west side PLL, known as PLF. The ground pin of the west side PLL
(VCOMPLF) is already connected to ground.
8.
Switch on SW11 to the ON position (slide it to the right).
9.
Validate that all 5 LEDs at the top of the board including the red one turn on. D17, D11, D10, D9,
D13, and D19.
10. Validate that the 8 LEDS: D8, D7, …, and D2, D1 all pulsate in either a counting pattern or a flashing
towards left pattern.
11. If no LEDs are visible, stop and switch off SW11. Rotate SW8 and SW9 clockwise to the 3.3 V
selection. This is best described with the thicker arrow bar pointing upward. Switch the board back
on. The LEDs should be visible. If very dim, stop, switch off the board and rotate the switches one
quarter turn clockwise before switching board back on. Continue if the LEDs are glowing. If unable to
get a display on the LEDs, the board must be tagged as bad.
12. If it is a bad board, carefully remove the A3PE1500 silicon from the socket and set it aside in an
electrostatic-safe area. Using another piece of pre-programmed silicon, repeat steps 4 to 8 above.
13. If still no response, mark the board as defective and re-use the silicon for other testing.
14. If there is a good response, then place the previous silicon in a “bad” tray to prevent it from being
retested.
15. Validate the change in direction of LEDs flashing by pressing SW4 on the bottom side of the board.
16. Validate that the patterns can be switched by pressing SW6 (Global pulse) on the left side of board.
When the switch is pressed, the LED D15 should momentarily light. The pattern on the 8 LEDs D8
through D1 will change.
17. Press and hold SW2 to change the counting direction. Validate the change in counting pattern on
LEDs.
18. Press and hold SW3 to validate the hex switches values displayed on LEDs.
19. Connect a FlashPro4 programmer to a PC USB port and observe the power light illuminating.
Ensure that the FlashPro 9.1 or latest version is installed on the PC being used.
20. Connect the programming cable of the FlashPro4 programmer to the J1 shrouded and keyed header
labeled FP. The red line labeling pin 1 should be close to pin 1 on the header – no other orientation
is possible.
On the PC, run the FlashPro 9.1 or latest version and connect to the programmer. Select ProA-
SIC3E as the device family. Once the software has shown a connection, select Analyze Chain from
the File menu.
