Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Procurement Notes

Verify that the carrier board design supports the specific voltage requirements of the TE0715-xx-30 variant, particularly for banks 34 and 35 which are High Performance (HP) banks limited to 1.8V maximum tolerance. Ensure stabilized internal voltages (3.3V or 1.8V) are present before powering up any FPGA I/O bank voltages to prevent damage. Confirm that the baseboard provides the necessary battery supply for the RTC function.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Selection Notes

Select this module when the application requires the higher logic capacity of the XC7Z030 compared to the XC7Z015. Note that the -30 suffix indicates HP banks restricted to 1.8V I/O levels, unlike the -15 variant which supports up to 3.3V on these banks. Verify that the carrier board can accommodate the required power rails, including VIN, 3.3VIN, and specific VCCO levels for the selected I/O banks.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Part Context

The TE0715 series comprises industrial-grade SoMs designed for harsh environments. This specific model utilizes the XC7Z030 processor, offering more programmable logic resources than the XC7Z015-based counterparts. The module is part of Trenz Electronic's 4x5 cm form factor lineup, providing a standardized footprint for integration into custom carrier boards while maintaining ruggedness against shock and vibration.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. For legacy replacement, consider the TE0715-04-15-3E if the lower logic density of the XC7Z015 is acceptable and 3.3V compatibility on banks 34/35 is required. Alternatively, evaluate newer Trenz Electronic modules such as the TE0745 series for updated component availability.

Microcontrollers, Microprocessor, FPGA Modules FAQ

What is the default boot mode for the TE0715-04-30-3E?

By default, the module supports Quad SPI and SD Card boot modes. The active mode is controlled by the MODE input signal from the B2B JM1 connector: High or open state selects QSPI boot, while Low or ground selects SD Card boot.

How is the MAC address stored on the module?

A globally unique 48-bit node address compatible with EUI-48 specification is stored in the Microchip 24AA025E48 EEPROM (U19). This device is accessible via the I2C bus at slave address 0x50, with one block write-protected for the address and the other available for user data.

What are the voltage constraints for banks 34 and 35 on this module?

On the TE0715-xx-30 variant, banks 34 and 35 are configured as High Performance (HP) banks. Their maximum voltage tolerance is limited to 1.8V. This differs from the -15 variant, where these banks are High Range (HR) and support voltages from 1.2V to 3.3V.
