3. Expansion Module Enterpoint Ltd MINI CAN User Manual Issue 1 02 04 10 2007 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 1 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 PROGI Programming Cable Figure

5. AN User Manual Issue 1 02 04 10 2007 The Spartan 3 FPGA has an absolute input voltage maximum of 4 05V 3 3V signalling To allow use in 5V PCI systems we have added Bus Switch parts IDTQS32X681 between the PCI Edge Connector and the Spartan 3 FPGA These parts limit the voltage seen by the Spartan 3 FPGA Technically the addition of these parts make the interface non compliant with the PCI specification However in practise this implementation of the interface has no operation issues If you don t want to use the PCI Edge Connector for PCI and run MINI CAN standalone you can use the Disk Drive Power Connector to power the board Using the optional PCI I O Expansion Module you can use PCI interface as general I O ia r IRE q i mm M a Figure 13 PCI I O Expansion Module If you need 5V tolerant I O and don t need PCI then then using this module is a easy way of achieving this The Bus Switches on MINI CAN fitted for 5V PCI tolerance work as well for general 5V input or pulled up signals The timing penalty 1 e through propagation of the Bus Switches 1s approximately 250 pico seconds Enterpoint Ltd MINI CAN User Manual Issue 1 02 04 10 2007 Fine Pitch Connector OPTIONAL FINE PITCH CONNECTOR AM ME NEED ES E MUS E Li F E T hi E F T E E E LI L F E n c 2005 Enterpoint Ltd S S N MINI CAN amp EVA M 1 eR bab ee i EUM a LE
