DN3000K10
ASIC Prototyping Engine

The DN3000K10 is a complete logic emulation system that enables ASIC or IP designers a vehicle to prototype logic and memory designs for a fraction of the cost of existing solutions. The DN3000K10 can be either hosted in 32/64-bit PCI/PCIX slot, or used in a stand-alone environment. A single DN3000K10 configured with five 2V6000's can emulate up to 3 million gates of logic as measured by LSI. The DN3000K10 achieves high gate density and allows for fast target clock frequencies by utilizing up to five FPGA's from Xilinx's VirtexII family for logic and memory. High I/O-count, 1152-pin, flip-chip BGA packages are employed providing for abundant, fixed interconnect between FPGA's. A total of 400+ test pins are provided on the top of the PWB for logic analyzer-based debugging, or for pattern generator stimulus. Custom daughter cards can be mounted to these connectors as a means to interface the DN3000K10 to application-specific circuits. A reference 32-bit PCI target design and test bench are provided (in Verilog and VHDL) at no additional cost.

Easy Configuration via SmartMedia
The configuration bit files for the FPGA's are copied onto a 32-megabyte SmartMedia FLASH card (provided) and an on-board ATmega128L microprocessor controls the FPGA configuration process. Visibility into the configuration process is enhanced with an RS232 port. Sanity checks are performed automatically on the configuration bit files, streamlining the configuration process. Quick FPGA configuration occurs at the fastest possible SelectMap frequency - 48MHz. Eight LED's provide instant status and operational feedback. Two of these LED's are connected to the CPLD and can be user-configured.
