Overview

The DN6000K10PCIe is a complete logic emulation system that enables ASIC or IP designers to prototype logic, memory, and embedded systems designs for a fraction of the cost of other solutions.

The DN6000K10PCIe is hosted in a 1-lane or 4-lane PCI Express slot (PCIe) and can be used standalone. This product supports up to 6 FPGAs and each position can be populated by either a 2vp70 or 2vp100.

A DN6000K10PCIe stuffed with 6 2vp100s can emulate up to 4.4+ million gates of logic as measured by LSI. In addition, each 2vp100 VirtexII Pro FPGA contains two 300MHz+ 405 PowerPC microprocessors, 444 18x18 multipliers, and 7.992 Mbytes of block RAM memory. Eight serial RocketI/O ports are provided on the corners of the circuit board and can support a variety of serial communication protocols at speeds up to 3.125 GB/s (with -6, -7 speed grade).
The DN6000K10PCIe is designed for performance. All external memories run at a frequency of at least 133MHz and the FPGA internal speed is limited only by the logic within. The FPGAs are high I/O count, 1704-pin BGA packages, allowing for maximum chip to chip interconnect. Two 200-pin expansion connectors provide for expansion capability.

Easy Configuration Via SmartMedia

The configuration bit file for the FPGA is copied onto a 32/64/128-megabyte SmartMedia FLASH card (provided) and an on-board microprocessor controls the FPGA configuration process. An RS232 port provides detailed information regarding the configuration process, completely bypassing time-consuming debugging of the configuration process.

FPGA configuration occurs at close to the fastest possible parallel frequency -- 48MHz. Eight LEDs provide instant status and operational feedback. Two of these LEDs are connected to the CPLD and can be user-configured.
