TFMC900

Test FMC Mezzanine Module

Application Information

The TFMC900 is an FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card)

Mezzanine Module designed to test ANSI/VITA 57.1 FMC

Carriers

during

development

or

series

production.

Additionally, it offers the possibility to realise various I/O

solutions for connected FMC Carriers.

Interconnection of the High Pin Count FMC Connector

signals can be verified by JTAG and by functional tests. A

loop-back of the 10 multi-gigabit transceiver interfaces

allows interconnection checks for the high-speed serial

interfaces.

All voltages on the TFMC900 generated by the FMC

Carrier are measured by Analog-to-Digital Converters

which transfer the results via the JTAG interface.

The user configurable on-board Spartan-II FPGA, which is

connected to the FMC Connector User Defined Signals

and to a 68-pin Front I/O Connector, can be used to

implement different I/O interfaces for the connected FMC

Carrier.

The FPGA is connected to a Platform Flash to store

configuration data which is accessible via the JTAG chain.

The TFMC900 is delivered with a blank configuration

device. FPGA applications can be developed using the

design software ISE WebPACK which can be downloaded

free of charge at http://www.xilinx.com.

The FMC Connector User Defined Signals of Bank A are

powered by an adjustable voltage generated by the

Carrier which is preset to 3.3V (LVTTL) by IPMI. This

voltage can be reduced to 2.5V (LVCMOS2) by changing

the IPMI resource data inside the on-board I²C EEPROM

for FPGAs not supporting the LVTTL signaling standard.

The voltage pins powering the I/O Bank B are connected

to 2.5V generated by the FMC Mezzanine Module.

The TFMC900 generates six LVDS reference clock pairs

and distributes them to the FMC Carrier. The frequency

(common for all clock pairs) is adjustable by three dip

switches on board.

The module meets the requirements to operate in

extended temperature range from -40° to +85°C.
