Cmod S6™ FPGA Board Reference Manual

When using Digilent's Adept software for programming, a dialog box available from the Config tab can be used to

select a configuraiton file. Pressing the Program button will program the FPGA with the selected file. This may

result in a warning that the configuration file was built for an unknown device; however, this warning can be

ignored.

When using Xilinx's iMPACT 14.2 (or higher) software for programming, a .bit file can be associated with the FPGA

by right-clicking on the FPGA icon, selecting the desired .bit file, and clicking Program.

On power-up, if the FPGA detects a valid bitstream stored in the Quad SPI flash memory, the FPGA will

automatically configure itself with that bitstream. If necessary, the user can reconfigure the FPGA with a different

bitstream at any point after power-up using iMPACT or Adept.

FPGA

The Cmod S6 features a Xilinx Spartan 6 XC6SLX4-2CPG196 FPGA. Of the 92 available unshared FPGA I/O pins, 46

are routed to through-hole pins on the DIP module, 24 are not connected, 14 are used by the programming

interface, and 7 drive on-board I/Os (4 leds, 2 pushbuttons, and 2 clock inputs). Several of the 46 signals connected

to FPGA pins are routed to clock buffers, and several are routed to matched pairs. Please see the schematic for

more information.

The Spartan 6 LX4 FPGA includes 3,840 6-LUT logic cells, 4,800 flip-flops, 216Kb of block RAM, 8 DSP slices, and two

clock management tiles, each with two DCMs and one PLL. The fabric can support internal clock speeds above

400MHz, allowing the Cmod S6 to host high-speed or complex designs. Please see the Spartan 6 user manual

Power

The Cmod S6 can be powered either from a USB-connected computer, or from a power source connected to DIP

pin 24 that delivers voltage in the range of 5VDC to 15VDC (the power input on pin 24 is most useful when the

board is used in an embedded system or in a solderless breadboard). The two sources are diode-OR'ed on the

board, so both may be connected simultaneously.

The FPGA and other on-board devices require 3.3VDC and 1.2VDC – both of these voltages are generated from the

input supply using Texas Instrument's TPS62170 switching regulators. Total current draw depends on FPGA

configuration. When about half the FPGA is configured and running at 8MHz, the board consumes about 180mA

from the main supply.

Clocks

An 8MHz and a 1Hz clock are available to the FPGA. Both are generated from the on board USB processor, both are

routed to clock inputs on the FPGA, and both run continuously. The 8MHz clock, called "FPGA-GCLK", can be used

with the FPGA's clock manager to create a wide range of frequencies, even beyond 200MHz. The 1Hz clock

provides a simple timing signal for basic experiments and low-frequency needs.
