Features
• CMX7x6x FirmASIC
• Serial Flash Option for Function Image
circuit programming
• On-board supply regulators operate from a single
5 volt supply
• Instrumentation interface to differential I and Q
signals (requires additional –5 volt supply)
Brief Description
1
The PE0601-xxxx Platform Evaluation Kit is designed to assist in the evaluation and application
development of the CMX7x6x range of FirmASIC
comprising a CMX7x6x target IC and appropriate supporting components and circuitry.
The board also incorporates all of the necessary power-supply regulation facilities for operation from a
single 5 volt supply, or a dual +/-5 volt supply if the instrumentation interface is required.
The board is fitted with a C-BUS connector allowing the PE0601 to be operated by connection to either of
the two C-BUS ports on a CML PE0002 Interface Card, and used with the associated PC GUI software, or
by direct connection between the CMX7x6x C-BUS and the user's µC development application or
emulation system.

Alternatively, it can be automatically loaded from the on- board serial memory, on power-up. In this case, the on-board serial memory has to be pre-loaded with the FI by using the 'Program Serial Memory' tab on the PE0002 GUI software, or by the user’s system utilising the appropriate ‘thick stub’...

Page 7: Quick Start
Evaluation Kit for CMX7x6x PE0601-xxxx Quick Start This section is divided into two sub-sections. The first is for those users who are using the PE0601 with a PE0002 controller card and its Windows PC GUI software. The second is for users who are using the PE0601 by itself, without a PE0002. -

To use this method the serial memory must first be programmed with the FI by using the 'Program Serial Memory' tab on the PE0002 GUI software. The PE0601 should now be ready for evaluation of the CMX7x6x with the chosen FI. Please note that to access the CML Technical Portal you need to be authorised by a member of the CML sales staff. -

Page 26: Function Image
Evaluation Kit for CMX7x6x PE0601-xxxx Function Image There are two methods by which a FI may be loaded into the CMX7x6x device. Whenever power is removed from the PE0601 the FI data will be erased from the CMX7x6x device. Therefore, whenever power is applied a FI must be loaded, either from the serial memory or via the C-BUS interface. -
