DN5000k10S
ASIC Prototyping Engine
![]()
The DN5000k10s is a complete logic emulation system that enables ASIC or IP designers to prototype logic and memory designs for a fraction of the cost of other solutions. The DN5000k10s can be hosted in 32/64-bit PCI/PCIX slot, or can be used standalone. A DN5000k10s can emulate up to 600,000 gates of logic as measured by LSI. The DN5000k10s achieves high gate density and allows for fast target clock frequencies by utilizing Altera's Stratix family of FPGA's for logic and memory. A high I/O count, 1508-pin BGA package is employed allowing for a host of features including test signals and external memory. A total of TBD signals 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 of interfacing the DN5000105 to application-specific circuits. A reference 32-bit PCI target design and test bench is provided (in Verilog/VHDL) at no additional cost.
Easy Configuration Via SmartMedia
The configuration bit files for the FPGA's are copied onto a 16/32/64/128-megabyte
SmartMedia FLASH card (provided) and an on-board 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 files, completely bypassing
the time-consuming process of debugging the configuration process.
FPGA configuration occurs at close to the fastest possible parallel
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.
