DN8000K10PSX
Virtex4 Based
ASIC Prototyping Engine
The DN8000K10PSX 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 DN8000K10PSX is hosted in a 32-bit or 64-bit PCI slot (33/66MHz) or can be used stand-alone. A single DN8000K10PSX configured with 3 4VLX160's can emulate up to 3.4 million gates of logic as measured by LSI. This product can also be stuffed with the SX55, which supports 512-18x18 multipliers per FPGA enabling high performance DSP applications. Any FPGA position can be stuffed with an FPGA of any speed grade from the following list: LX40, LX60, LX80, LX100, LX160, SX55.
The DN8000K10PSX achieves high gate density and allows for fast target clock frequencies by utilizing FPGA's from Xilinx's Virtex-4 LX/SX families for logic and memory. High I/O-count, 1148-pin, flip-chip BGA packages are employed, providing for abundant, fixed interconnect between the FPGA's. All FPGA interconnect is single-ended or differential, with LVDS clocked at 350MHz+. In addition, the OSERDES/ISERDES functionality is thoroughly tested and characterized, allowing for 10x DDR pin multiplying on differential pairs between FPGA's and dramatically easing the partitioning problem. The industry's highest performance PCI Bridge, the QL5064, enables data transfer via master-moding and chaining, without making any resource demands on the Virtex-4 FPGA's. Three, DDR2 SDRAM SODIMM's are provided, one per FPGA, allowing for up to 12GB of DDR2 memory. Optional socket-compatible SODIMM痴 are available: QDR SSRAM, FLASH, SSRAM, RLDRAM, and Mictor. Each socket is tested at 200MHz, and reference designs are provided.
Gigabit Ethernet connectivity is provided via a Vitesse VSC8201 physical layer transceiver. With the appropriate MAC in FPGA A, the DN8000k10PSX can interface to 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and/or 1000BASE-T. An MII interface to used to connect the FPGA to the VSC8201 Phy.
A total of 93 LVDS pairs of FPGA pins (186 single-ended) are provided on the bottom of the PWB via a single 400-pin MEG-Array expansion connector and interfaces to FPGA C. This expansion header can be used for logic analyzer-based debugging or for pattern generator stimulus by utilizing the DNMEG_Obs Observation Daughter card. Custom daughter cards can be mounted to this connector as a means to interface the DN8000K10PSX to application-specific circuits. Reference material such as DDR2 SDRAM controllers and PowerPC code is included (in Verilog, VHDL, C) at no additional cost.
