1.0 INTRODUCTION
The DLP-HS-FPGA module is a low-cost, compact prototyping tool that can be used for rapid proof of
concept or within educational environments. The module is based on the Xilinx Spartan™ 3A and
Future Technology Devices International’s FT2232H Dual-Channel High-Speed USB IC. The
DLP-HS-FPGA provides both the beginner as well as the experienced engineer with a rapid path to
developing FPGA-based designs. When combined with the free ISE™ WebPACK™ tools from Xilinx,
this module is more than sufficient for creating anything from basic logical functions to a highly
complex system controller.
As a bonus feature, one channel of the dual-channel USB interface is used to load user bit files
directly to the SPI Flash—no external programmer is required. This represents a savings of as much
as $200 in that no additional programming cable is required for configuring the FPGA. All that is
needed to load bit files to the DLP-HS-FPGA is a Windows software utility (free with purchase), a
Windows PC and a USB cable. The module can also be programmed from within the Xilinx ISE tool
environment using a Xilinx programming cable (purchased separately).
The DLP-HS-FPGA is fully compatible with the free ISE™ WebPACK™ tools from Xilinx. ISE
WebPACK offers the ideal development environment for FPGA designs with HDL synthesis and
simulation, implementation, device fitting and JTAG programming.
The DLP-HS-FPGA has on-board voltage regulators that generate all required power supply voltages
from a single 5-volt source. Power for the module can be taken from either the host USB port or from
a user-supplied, external 5-volt power supply via an onboard standard barrel connector.
Connection to user electronics is made via a 50-pin, 0.9-inch wide, industry-standard 0.025-square
inch post DIP header on the bottom of the board and a 26-pin, 0.05-inch wide top side 2x13 header.
The bottom side 50-pin header provides access to 41 of the FPGA user input/output pins. The top
side header provides access to 22 of the FPGA user input/output pins. The bottom side header mates
with a user-supplied, standard, 50-pin, 0.9-inch spaced DIP socket. The top side header mates with a
