XLM72 72 channel FPGA Logic Module
XLM72S is a FPGA based logic module with 72 I/O ports. Featuring two 64 Mbit SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) memories, from one of which its FPGA boots upon power-up, complex logic operations can be programmed and saved on-board.
Multiple user setup files can be saved in the SPI memories beyond the area used for the boot configuration.
activity. All 72 I/O ports are provided on front panel pin headers with ECL levels. In addition by using optional plug-in adapter mini-boards the XLM72S is capable of accepting or outputing directly other signal levels as for instance TTL or NIM.
Main features
- 72 channel logic module with free programmable FPGA functionality
- Can be used as intelligent data buffer, scales / pre-scalers, coincidence registers, time stamper, multi-level trigger logic, digital delay gate generator, histogramming memory
- QT based application for logic setup
- Dual SPI (2 x 64MBit) for configuration storage, selectable boot memory
- Single wide VME module
- 72 programmable front-panel I/O ports, configurable in quartets as either inputs or outputs, organized in four 34-pin and one 8-pin headers,
- I/O ports either ECL or on request NIM or TTL levels (optional)
- One user-programmable FPGA, XC6SLX150 by Xilinx, inc.
- Custom, programmable, in-system reconfigurable VME-bus interface and bus router/arbitrator.
- Two 64-Mbit SPI memories for holding FPGA configuration data and/or other desired non-volatile data.
- Four front-panel LEDs, one indicating VME-bus operation and the remaining three being user-programmable, mapped onto ports of the user FPGA
- Special firmwares on request
