TE0600-03-52I11-W

Overview

The TE0600-03-52I11-W is an industrial-grade FPGA micromodule from Trenz Electronic, part of the GigaBee XC6SLX series. It integrates a Xilinx Spartan-6 LX FPGA (specifically the LX45 variant for this model), a Marvell Alaska Ethernet PHY (88E1111), two 16-bit DDR3 SDRAM chips (totaling 128 MB or 512 MB depending on configuration), and 16 MB SPI Flash memory. The module features board-to-board connectors for I/O expansion and includes on-switched-mode power supplies. It operates with a nominal 3.3 V supply and supports JTAG and SPI configuration methods.

Feature Summary

• Industrial-grade Xilinx Spartan-6 LX45 FPGA
• Marvell 88E1111 Gigabit Ethernet PHY (10/100/1000 Mbps)
• Two 16-bit DDR3 SDRAM banks (128 MB or 512 MB total)
• 16 MB SPI Flash memory for configuration
• Dual 100-pin hermaphroditic B2B connectors

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Embedded networking equipment requiring Gigabit connectivity
• Data acquisition modules with high-speed memory access
• Custom embedded logic designs needing FPGA flexibility

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific FPGA density (LX45) and DDR3 capacity (128 MB vs 512 MB) against project requirements, as these vary within the TE0600 family. Confirm that the carrier board supports the required mating height for the Samtec Razor Beam connectors. Ensure the design accounts for the 3.3 V nominal supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.45 V.

Selection Notes

Select this module if an industrial temperature range and integrated Gigabit Ethernet are required alongside FPGA programmability. The LX45 variant offers a balance of logic resources and cost. Consider the TE0603 carrier board for easy evaluation of Ethernet and memory interfaces. Verify that the application can accommodate the module's physical footprint and connector pitch specifications.

Part Context

This module belongs to the Trenz Electronic GigaBee XC6SLX series, which provides compact FPGA solutions based on Xilinx Spartan-6 devices. The TE0600 specifically targets applications needing high-speed serial communication and memory bandwidth in a small form factor. It is designed to plug into compatible baseboards via robust board-to-board connectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the proprietary integration of components. Alternative solutions may involve using a bare Spartan-6 FPGA on a custom PCB with external PHY and memory, though this increases design complexity and board space. Other Trenz Electronic modules like TE0600-02 or TE0600-04 offer different FPGA densities but share similar mechanical and electrical interfaces.
