Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature range and package variant. Confirm baseboard connector mating height compatibility, as standard modules use 8mm height but other options exist. Ensure the design accounts for the Hermaphroditic nature of the Samtec connectors where odd pins on the module connect to even pins on the baseboard.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Selection Notes

Select this module when an Artix-7 100T device is required in a 4x5 cm form factor. Verify that the baseboard provides the necessary 3.3V supply with at least 3A current capability for startup. Consider the thermal requirements, as typical consumption is 2-3W but varies by design. Check if the commercial or industrial temperature grade aligns with the application environment.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Part Context

This part belongs to the Trenz Electronic TE0713 family of SoMs designed for the Xilinx Artix-7 series. The TE0713 platform supports various FPGA sizes from 15T to 200T. The TE0713-02 variant specifically denotes the industrial temperature grade version of the module, distinguishing it from the commercial grade TE0713-01.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the proprietary carrier design. Compatible alternatives include other TE0713 variants with different FPGA densities (e.g., TE0713-01-100-2C). Baseboards must be redesigned or selected to match the specific B2B connector pinout and mechanical height of the replacement module.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules FAQ

How is JTAG access switched between the FPGA and the CPLD?

JTAG access is controlled by the JTAGEN pin on the B2B connector JM1. A low signal selects the Artix-7 FPGA, while a high signal selects the System Controller CPLD.

What is the default clock frequency for the GTP transceivers?

The onboard Si5338 programmable clock generator defaults to 125 MHz for the GTP transceiver clock (CLK2).

Can the module be powered by split voltage sources?

Yes, the module can be powered by split 5V/3.3V sources, though using a single 3.3V supply for both VIN and 3.3VIN rails achieves the lowest power consumption.
