The RF channels can run up to 10GSPS (DAC) and 5 GSPS(ADC) The ADS-STANDALONE/9R1 uses a single 15V-30V input power supply. An on-board system monitor micro-controller provides voltage/current monitoring of the generated power supplies, as well as providing the capability to turn the supplies on/off via the micro USB interface. A USB to JTAG circuit is also provided, giving access to the JTAG chain without requiring an external JTAG box. 1.1 Key Features Key Features · Xilinx RFSoC FPGA with PS block consisting of: · Quad-core ARM Cortex-A53, Dual-core ARM Cortex-R5, Mali-400 GPU · 1 bank of DDR4-2400 SDRAM 2GB · Two Quad SPI Flash memory, 512Mb each · USB · RS232 serial COM port · Gigabit Ethernet · Programmable Logic (PL) block consisting of: · 4 HSSIO links to the QSFP connector · 2 banks of DDR4-2400 SDRAM, 1GB per bank · RF Sampling block consisting of: · 8 12-bit 4/5GSPS RF-ADCs · 8 14-bit 6.5/10GSPS RF-DACs · 8 soft-decision FECs (ZU28DR/ZU48DR only) · Full Scale Input (100MHz/ZU27DR): 5.0dBm · Full Scale Output (100MHz/20mA Mode/ZU27DR): -4.5dBm · Full Scale Output (100MHz/32mA Mode/ZU48DR): 1.15dBm · Front Panel IO Interface with: · 8 HF single ended ADC signals · 8 HF single ended DAC signals · Reference clock input for the RF sampling blocks · Reference clock output from RF sampling blocks · 2 digital GPIO Introduction ad-ug-01451_ADS-STANDALONE-9R1-User-Manual_v1_2.pdf Page 1 ADS-STANDALONE/9R1 User Manual V1.2 - 10/05/2023 Figure 1 : ADS-STANDALONE/9R1 ADMC-XMC-STANDALONE User Manual: https://www.alpha-data.com/xml/user_manuals/ adc-xmc-standalone%20user%20manual.pdf ADM-XRC-9R1 User Manual: https://www.alpha-data.com/xml/user_manuals/ adm-xrc-9r1%20user%20manual.pdf ADM-XRC-9R1 Reference Design: https://www.alpha-data.com/resource/admxrc9r1 Page 2 Introduction ad-ug-01451_ADS-STANDALONE-9R1-User-Manual_v1_2.pdf ADS-STANDALONE/9R1 User Manual V1.2 - 10/05/2023 2 Main Input Power Supply Requirements The total power requirement will vary depending on the particular FPGA design. A 60W supply would likely be more than enough for most FPGA designs before thermal limits of the device and heatsink become the limiting factor. Alpha-Data can provide a power supply estimator spreadsheet to estimate the total power requirements for a particular FPGA design. An example compatible power supple is RS PRO part number 175-3290: https:// uk.rs-online.com/web/p/ac-dc-adapters/1753290 Spec Voltage Power Current Value 15V-30V 60W 5A Max. Connector 2.1mm x 5.5mm DC power plug, centre pin positive Table 1 : Suggested Input Supply Specifications 3 Installation and Power Up 1) Connect a serial cable to the serial port and connect the other end to a USB-to-serial converter. 2) Open a serial terminal with at 115200 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit. 3) Turn the power switch on, and the PS should start to boot from then internal SD card. 4) Once booted login with the username "root" and password "root" 5) To run the RF example design, use the command "boardtest-9r1" See the example design user guide for details on the operation of the boardtest-9r1 application 4 JTAG Interface A USB to JTAG circuit is provided, giving access to the XMC JTAG interface without the need for an external programming box (e.g. Xilinx Platform Cable II). The USB to JTAG converter is compatible with Vivado, and will appear in hardware manager as a Digilent device. A 14-pin JTAG header is also available, with an on-board multiplexer to switch between the 14-pin header or the USB to JTAG converter. The multiplexer selects the USB to JTAG circuit when a micro USB cable is attached. JTAG Interface ad-ug-01451_ADS-STANDALONE-9R1-User-Manual_v1_2.pdf Page 3 ADS-STANDALONE/9R1 User Manual V1.2 - 10/05/2023 5 Current/Voltage Monitoring The ADS-STANDALONE/9R1 provides current sense functionality on the 12V and combined 3V3 internal supplies. These values can be reported over the micro-USB interface, using the alpha-data "avr2util" utility. Avr2util for Windows and the associated USB driver can be downloaded here: https://support.alpha-data.com/pub/firmware/utilities/windows/ Avr2util for Linux can be downloaded here: https://support.alpha-data.com/pub/firmware/utilities/linux/ Use "avr2util.exe /?" to see all options. For example "avr2util.exe /usbcom \\.\com4 display-sensors" will display all sensor values. Note that 'com4' is used here as an example, and should be changed to match the com port number assigned under windows device manager 6 On-Board Generated Power Supplies The ADS-STANDALONE/9R1 generates the 3V3/3V3_AUX/12V0/-12V0 supplies required by the XMC site from a single 15V-30V input supply. Each supply has the following specifications: Power supply 3V3_DIG 3V3_AUX 12V0_DIG Voltage (V) 3.3 3.3 [2] 12.0 Max. current (A) 7.0 [1] 7.0 [1] 7.0 Monitoring Voltage and current [1] Voltage and current [1] Voltage and current Table 2 : ADS-STANDALONE/9R1 Power Supplies [1] The 3V3_DIG and 3V3_AUX rails are generated from the same supply, so the maximum current is the combination of 3V3_AUX + 3V3_DIG. The current monitoring also measures the combined current. [2] The 3V3_AUX rail is an always-on 3.3V auxiliary power supply from the 15V-30V input. The 3V3_DIG/3V3_AUX/12V0_DIG current usage of a particular design can be estimated using a power estimation spreadsheet. Contact support@alpha-data.com for access to the spreadsheet.
