ADM-VPX3-9Z2 User Manual V1.1 - 16th January 2020 1 Introduction The ADM-VPX3-9Z2 shall be a high performance reconfigurable 3U OpenVPX format board based on the Xilinx Zynq Ultrascale+ range of Multiprocessor System-on-Chips (MPSoC). 1.1 Key Features Key Features • 3U Open VPX, compliant to VITA Standard 46.0 and 65 •...
2.2.1 System Requirements The ADM-VPX3-9Z2 is a 3U OpenVPX compliant FPGA card with FMC front IO interface. Alpha Data offers a Rear Transition Module (RTM) that breaks out all P2 IO and P1 control lanes (Part number: ADM-VPX3-9Z2-RTM). 2.2.2 Cooling Requirements The power dissipation of the board is highly dependent on the FPGA application.

ADM-VPX3-9Z2 User Manual V1.1 - 16th January 2020 3.2 VPX P0 Interface 3.2.1 SYSRESET# VPX Reset In. This signal is an active low input from the system. When asserted, the PS PCIe interface will be reset. The SYSRESET# signal is translated to 1.8V levels and connected to the FPGA at MIO pin J22.
ADM-VPX3-9Z2 User Manual V1.1 - 16th January 2020 3.4 JTAG Interface 3.4.1 On-board Interface A JTAG boundary scan chain is connected to header J2. This allows the connection of the Xilinx JTAG cable. The scan chain is shown in Figure JTAG Boundary Scan...
FMC+ connector, the board has 2 user-programmable clock generators. These clocks can be combined with the FPGA's internal PLLs to suit a wide variety of communication protocols. A complete overview of the clock routing on the ADM-VPX3-9Z2 is given in Clocks. A description of each clock follows.
There are two programable clock sources that are forwarded throughout the FPGA. These clocks can be programmed via the avr2util utility contained within the Alpha Data ADM-VPX3-9Z2 SDK. PROGCLK1 and PROGCLK2 are generated by a dedicated programmable clock generator IC and offer extremely high frequency resolutions (1ppm increments).
ADM-VPX3-9Z2 User Manual V1.1 - 16th January 2020 3.5.4 Module to Carrier Global Clocks (CLK_M2C) A connected FMC+ board can generate a number of differential Global clocks (as per the FMC standard). They each connect to an global clock input on the FPGA.
The memory devices attached to the PS side of the MPSoC are outlined below. 3.7.2.1 Quad SPI Flash Memory The ADM-VPX3-9Z2 has two Quad SPI Flash devices, up to 2Gb each. They can be interfaced seperately in x1, x2,x4 modes or together in x8 mode.
V1.1 - 16th January 2020 3.7.2.2 MicroSD and eMMC Flash Memories The ADM-VPX3-9Z2 can interface to either a MicroSD card (SD 2.0 standard at 3.3V) or an eMMC device (v4.5 at 1.8V). The Switch SW4-7 determines which of the two interfaces is in use (as they share common MIO pins).
ADM-VPX3-9Z2 User Manual V1.1 - 16th January 2020 3.7.5 USB Interfaces The 9Z2 has three external USB interfaces. Interfaces USB1 and USB2 are connected between VPX P1 connector and the PS side of the MPSoC. The PS acts as the USB host to interfaces USB1 and USB2.
FPGA on-die temperature (measured in TMP422) Table 24 : Voltage and Temperature Monitors (in microcontroller) The system monitor sensor values can be read via usb using the avr2util utility contained within the Alpha Data ADM-VPX3-9Z2 SDK. 3.9.1 Automatic Temperature Monitoring The system monitor checks that the board and FPGA are being operated within the specified limits.
The FMC+ interface provides a high-performance and flexible front-panel interface through a range of interchangeable, industry standard IO modules which connect at receptacle J1. The FMC+ interface adheres to VITA 57.4. The ADM-VPX3-9Z2 utilizes all possible FMC+ connectivity. This includes all GPIO, all MGT links, and all clock capable IO.
