3. Issue 1 01 14 05 2005 Please note that your MINI CAN is delivered un programmed and computer that is used as a host will not recognise the card correctly whilst in this state For correct recognition you will need a PCI supporting design to be loaded into the MINI CAN and to have a suitable driver available for your operating system MINI CAN only needs a single 5V power supply to operate All other power rails are generated on board As an alternative to using the PCI Edge Connector for power input you can connect 5V power to the MINI CAN by using the 5V Power Pickup the power pins on the I O Header or if fitted the Fine Pitch Connector If using any of these methods take extreme care to make the connections correctly It is also advisable to use a current limited supply with an initial limit maximum of amp or less set Most FPGA designs will be below this limit and un programmed the board will actually take about TBA mA If you can measure input current alter that current limit once you have established the peak current a given FPGA design takes WARNING IF YOU USE THESE METHODS AND INCORRECTLY CONNECT THE POWER INPUT YOUR WARRANTY MAY BECOME INVALID To program your MINI CAN you will need a programming cable such our PROGI cable or Xilinx programming cable with flying leads and software like Xilinx Impact part of ISE Figure 6 PROG1 Programming Cable Figure 7 Xilinx Platform Cable USB Connected to MINI CAN Enter
