FPGA

Xilinx
TM SpartanTM-3 FPGA, in FG456 package, fitted to the board. Available with XC3S400, XC3S1000, XC3S1500 or XC3S2000 fitted on base board. Expansion module with Virtex-IIPro XC2VP4 available shortly to give PowerPC processor and High Speed Serial Interfaces. Other modules under development.

PC104Plus Interface


32 bit, 33 MHz, 3.3/5V PC104+ interface (PCI). Interrupts, IDSEL, bus request and grant are all selectable by solder bridge on the back of the board to reflect position in a stack of modules. Standard stock will be made for position 0. Please ask if you require a different position or other variation. We can supply an FPGA IP core for the PC104+ interface.

RS232 Interface


One RS232 Interface driver on board. More interfaces available using expansion modules. UART logic to be implemented in FPGA. More channels available using an expansion module.

RS485 Interfaces

Four RS485 half duplex transceivers available. Each is independent configurable and controllable. Optional terminator positions on board. UART logic to be implemented in FPGA. More channels available using an expansion module.

CAN Bus Interfaces

Two full duplex CAN Bus transceivers on board. CAN Bus logic to be implemented in FPGA. More channels available using an expansion module.

Flash Memory

4Mbit Flash Memory

EEprom Memory

1 x 16KBit serial EEprom fitted.

Temperature Sensor

LM75 temperature sensor fitted.

Expansion Headers

Supports 120+ I/O. user set power rail (1.22V to 4.3V), 3.3V rail available (20 pins). Expansion uses 2.54 mm (0.1 inch) headers and alignment for simple expansion.

LEDs

4 LEDs.

LVDS Clock Module Header

Supporting Enterpoint's LVDS clock module. Header can also be used as I/O.

Oscillator

Fitted with 32MHz 3.3V oscillator. Others at special request.

SPARTAN-3 Bank I/O Voltages

4 banks have a fixed I/O voltage of 3.3V. 4 banks individually support 2.5V / 3.3V or user supply by jumper selection. Other rails can be generated on-board and feed into the I/O Vcco. Please ask if this is a requirement for your project.

DCI

User fit DCI resistors. VRN/VRP can also be used general I/O when not used for DCI. For OEM bulk buying the build specification can be modified to ensure that suitable resistors are hard soldered into the board instead of the general connector.

User I/O

Large number of user I/O available.

Expansion Modules

We are currently developing a range of modules to expand the capability of this board without taking more PC104+ positions. Please ask if you have a specific requirement.

Programming Cable

Hollybush1 ships with our free PROG2 programming cable on small quantity shipments.  OEM bulk purchases do not receive the cable automatically and should ask for pricing with this item included if needed. The is a Parallel Cable III look-alike and is detected by Xilinx tools as such. A 3 meter extension lead is available for £4. International customers are advised that the extension lead weighs approximately 400g and will affect carriage price if purchased with other items.

OEM Boards

Hollybush1 can be supplied either as a raw un-programmed board (development board) or as fixed functionality board. As a un-programmed development board you are responsible for the FPGA internal design. As a fixed functionality board we deliver pre-programmed boards with a FPGA design by Enterpoint. Please ask for a quote for your exact requirements.

 

Taxes and Duties

For the UK we will apply 17.5% VAT to goods and courier charges.

For non-UK EEC countries we will apply 17.5% VAT to goods and courier charges unless you can supply a VAT number, with registration details, that we can verify. If we can not fully verify your VAT details then VAT will be applied at 17.5%. The application of zero rate VAT to a shipment will be at our discretion under advice from UK Customs and Excise. If items are shipped at zero rate VAT you will responsible for accounting for VAT to your local authorities. No other duties or taxes should apply to products shipped to the EEC countries.

USA - We believe that Hollybush1 will not attract duty or MFP (manufactured foreign product) fee of US $2 for a single board. The postal service or courier may charge handling if there is a collection of such a fee. This is our understanding of the rules but you should make you own enquires to confirm this. Please give us feedback if you can confirm or add to this understanding.

For other countries duties and taxes do vary. Applying duties and taxes may be collected by the courier, or postal service, from you upon delivery. Please check with your local authorities if you are unsure of rates. We will add more information as we find it out on other countries.
 

Derivative, Turnkey Designs and Licensing

We are happy to offer derivative designs of Hollybush1, or expansion modules, to customers with special requirements. We can also license this board, or a derivative, for your own manufacture. Please ask for a quote if you are interested in these services or products.
