Detailed Description 4. Linear BPI Flash A Numonyx JS28F256P30 Linear Flash memory (U25) on the SP605 (Figure 1-5) provides 32 MB of non-volatile storage that can be used for configuration as well as software storage. The Linear Flash is operated in asynchronous mode.
Detailed Description FPGA Design Considerations for the Configuration Flash The SP605 has the P30 BPI flash connected to the FPGA dual use configuration pins and is not shared. It can be used to configure the FPGA, and then controlled post-configuration via the FPGA fabric.
6. USB JTAG JTAG configuration is provided through onboard USB-to-JTAG configuration logic where a computer host accesses the SP605 JTAG chain through a Type-A (computer host side) to Type-Mini-B (SP605 side) USB cable. The JTAG chain of the board is illustrated in Figure 1-6.
1-7. When the VITA 57.1 FMC LPC expansion connector is populated with an expansion module that has a JTAG chain, jumper J19 must be set to connect pins 2-3 in order to include the FMC expansion module's JTAG chain in the main SP605 JTAG chain.
Oscillator Socket (Single-Ended, 2.5V or 3.3V) One populated single-ended clock socket (X2) is provided for user applications. The option of 2.5V or 3.3V power may be selected via a 0Ω resistor selection. The SP605 board is shipped with a 27 MHz 2.5V oscillator installed.
One (1) MGT is wired to MGT SMA connectors (J36, J37) • One (1) MGT is wired to the SFP Module connector (P2) The SP605 includes a set of six SMA connectors for the GTP (MGT) RX/TX Port and GTP (MGT) Clock as described in Figure 1-10 Table 1-10.
AC adapter might be required. If a different AC adapter is used, its load regulation should be better than ±10%. SP605 power slide switch SW2 turns the board on and off by controlling the 12V supply to the board.

J45 (see Figure 1-12) is a two-pin header that allows external IIC devices to be connected to the SP605 IIC bus. When connected, the external device can be accessed via IIC commands using IIC_SDA_MAIN and IIC_SCL_MAIN. 8-Kb NV Memory The SP605 hosts a 8-Kb ST Microelectronics M24C08-WDW6TP IIC parameter storage memory device (U4).
