Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current variant list to ensure correct memory and FPGA configuration. Confirm mechanical compatibility with carrier boards using Samtec Razor Beam connectors. Check for any Product Change Notifications that may affect component sourcing or firmware defaults.

Selection Notes

Select this module for designs requiring high-performance FPGA logic with integrated memory and power management. Ensure the carrier board supports the required 3.3V input voltage and provides adequate cooling for the specified operating temperature range. Verify pinout compatibility for JTAG and I2C interfaces if debugging or clock configuration is required.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Trenz Electronic TE0841 series of 4x5 cm System-on-Modules. These modules are designed for compact, high-reliability applications where space is limited but performance requirements are high. The series maintains mechanical compatibility across variants while offering different FPGA densities and memory configurations.

Replacement Considerations

No public confirmed substitutes are identified in the provided documentation. As this is a specialized System-on-Module, direct replacements require careful evaluation of FPGA architecture, pinout compatibility, and power delivery specifications.

FAQ

How is the FPGA configured at startup?

By default, the FPGA is configured from the on-board Quad SPI Flash memory in Master SPI mode during system start-up.

What is the function of the System Controller CPLD?

The System Controller CPLD manages the power-on sequence, monitors power rails, and controls on-board peripherals and interface forwarding.

Can the module operate with a single power source?

Yes, the module is designed for single power source operation, typically powered by a 3.3V supply with sufficient current capability.
