DN8000K10PCIe-8
Virtex4 Based
ASIC Prototyping Engine
![]()
The DN8000K10PCIe-8 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 DN8000K10PCIe-8 is hosted in an 8-lane PCI Express slot
or can be used stand-alone. The user must supply the PCIe-8 controller in FPGA A. Two Genesys Logic GL9714's are used for the
PCI Express Phy function, freeing up all FX rocketI/O's for other applications. A single DN8000K10PCIe-8 configured with 2
4VLX200's and a single 4VFX100 can emulate up to 3.7 million gates of logic as measured by LSI. And this number does not include
the embedded memories and multipliers/ALU's resident in each FPGA. The DN8000K10PCIe-8 achieves high gate density and allows
for fast target clock frequencies by utilizing FPGA's from Xilinx's Virtex-4 LX/FX families for logic and memory. High I/O-count,
1513-pin, flip-chip BGA packages (for LX) and 1152-pin BGA's (for FX) are employed, providing for abundant, fixed interconnect
between the FPGA's. All FPGA interconnect is single-ended or differential, with differential clocked at 350MHz+. In addition,
the OSERDES/ISERDES functionality is thoroughly tested and characterized, allowing for 10x pin multiplying on differential
pairs between FPGA's and dramatically easing the partitioning problem. Two DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM sockets are provided, allowing
for up to 8GB of DDR2 memory. Each socket is tested at 200MHz, and reference designs are provided. Alternate pin-compatible
SODIMMs are available that contain FLASH, RLDRAM, SSRAM, QDR SSRAM, or Mictor connectors. A total of 304+ test pins are
provided on the top of the PWB via two 200-pin expansion headers. These expansion headers can also be used for logic analyzer-based
debugging or for pattern generator stimulus. The DNPMC104 card can be mounted to any of these connectors, enabling an
interface to A/D's, D/A's, and a host of other embedded system peripherals. Also, custom daughter cards can be mounted to these
connectors as a means to interface the DN8000K10PCIe-8 to application-specific circuits. Two XFP modules can be used to support
OC-192/STM-64, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Fibre Channel, and G.709 data streams and can be connected to routers, switches
and network cards. Reference material such as DDR2 SDRAM controllers and PowerPC code is included (in Verilog, VHDL, C) at no
additional cost.
