Description 

XILINX FPGA Development Board Xilinx Spartan-3E XC3S500E Evaluation Kit+DVK600+ XC3S500E Core Kit = Open3S500E Standard

FPGA development board designed for XILINX Spartan-3E series, features the XC3S500E onboard, and integrates various standard interfaces, pretty easy for peripheral expansions.

Overview

Open3S500E is an FPGA development board that consists of the mother board DVK600 and the FPGA core board Core3S500E.

Open3S500E supports further expansion with various optional accessory boards for specific application. The modular and open design makes it the ideal for starting application development with XILINX Spartan-3E series FPGA devices.

What's on the mother board

FPGA CPLD core board connector: for easily connecting core boards which integrate an FPGA CPLD chip onboard 8I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules 8I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules 16I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules 16I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules 32I/Os_1 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules 32I/Os_2 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules 32I/Os_3 interface, for connecting accessory boards/modules

All the I/O interfaces above:

capable of being simulated as USART, I2C, SPI, PS/2, etc. capable of driving devices such as FRAM, FLASH, USB, Ethernet, etc. SDRAM interface for connecting SDRAM accessory board also works as FPGA CPLD pins expansion connectors LCD interface, for connecting LCD22, LCD12864, LCD1602 ONE-WIRE interface: easily connects to ONE-WIRE devices (TO-92 package), such as temperature sensor (DS18B20), electronic registration number (DS2401), etc. 5V DC jack Joystick: five positions Buzzer Potentiometer: for LCD22 backlight adjustment, or LCD12864, LCD1602 contrast adjustment Power switch Buzzer jumper ONE-WIRE jumper Joystick jumper

For jumpers 17-19:

short the jumper to connect to I/Os used in example code open the jumper to connect to other custom pins via jumper wires

The DVK600 supports a wide range of different core boards, therefore, some of the interfaces may be Not-Connected and useless while connecting to certain core board. For instance, while connecting to Core3S500E/CoreEP2C8, the '8. 32I/Os_3' is Not-Connected.

What's on the Core3S500E

XC3S500E: the XILINX Spartan-3E FPGA device which features: Operating Frequency: 50MHz Operating Voltage: 1.15V~3.3V Package: QFP208 I/Os: 116 LEs: 500K RAM: 360kb DCMs: 4 Debugging/Programming: supports JTAG AMS1117-3.3, 3.3V voltage regulator AMS1117-2.5, 2.5V voltage regulator AMS1117-1.2, 1.2V voltage regulator XCF04S, onboard serial FLASH memory, for storing code Power indicator LEDs FPGA initialization indicator Reset button nCONFIG button: for re-configuring the FPGA chip, the equivalent of power reseting 50M active crystal oscillator JTAG interface: for debugging/programming FPGA pins expander, VCC, GND and all the I/O ports are accessible on expansion connectors for further expansion
