Evaluation Board User Guide 1. Introduction This guide describes the ASC Bridge Board, an interface board that connects up to three ASC Breakout Boards to either the MachXO3™-9400 Development Board or the ECP5™ Versa Development board for rapid prototyping and testing platform and hardware management applications. Throughout this document, the phrase ASC Breakout Board refers to a Platform Manager 2 evaluation board that is known by several names.
3. Setting Up the Board To set up the board: Attach four of the included nylon standoffs to the ASC Bridge Board (only one standoff is needed at the narrow edge of the board). Attach two of the included nylon standoffs to the outside edge of each ASC Breakout Board.
J2 and J3 are 40-pin female headers that connect the signals from either the MachXO3-9400 Development Board or the ECP5 Versa Development Board to the ASC Bridge Board. The female header carries both signal and power. The connections for J2 and J3 are listed in...
2-3 location. A hold-up capacitor is inserted in parallel with the fan to guarantee proper under speed detection. The ASC Bridge Board has a set of pre-populated capacitors connected through jumper J18. For fan PWM frequency less than 10 kHz, connect J18 to the 1-2 location. Connect J18 to the 2-3 location for fan PWM frequency between 10 kHz to 26.7 kHz.
14. LED Indicators The D1 blue LED illuminates when 3.3 V power is applied to the ASC Bridge Board. The red LEDs, D2, D3, and D4 illuminate when the corresponding ASC Breakout Boards are installed on the ASC0, ASC1 or ASC2 connectors.
