Details
The FPGA Tibbit carries a ICE5LP1K-SWG36ITR50 FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor.
The Tibbit is suitable for implementing a wide variety of configurations (functions).
The list of currently available configurations is found in
Four IO lines of the FPGA are exposed to the outside world. Since the FPGA only
works with 3.3V logical signals, there are automatic bi-directional level shifters
between the FPGA and pins 2-5 of the Tibbit. "Automatic" means that these level
shifters do not require direction control and choose the direction for each IO line
automatically, depending on which side (FPGA or an external circuit) is driving this
line.
The Tibbit is controlled through a standard SPI interface lines -CS, SCLK, MOSI, and
MISO. There are two non-standard features built on top of the SPI interface:
·
-CS and SCLK lines are used to produce a reset pulse for the FPGA IC.
·
MISO line also doubles as a status (DONE) line.
