USER MANUAL Preface The QMTECH® XC7K325T development board uses Xilinx Kintex®-7 devices to demonstrate best price/ performance/watt at 28nm while giving you high DSP ratios, cost-effective packaging, and support for mainstream standards like PCIe® Gen3 and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The Kintex-7 family is ideal for applications including 3G and 4G wireless, flat panel displays, and video over IP solutions.
On-Board core power supply for FPGA by using MP8712 wide input range DC/DC, it can provide 12A continuous/15A peak output current; XC7K325T development board has one 50p, 2.54mm pitch headers for extending user IOs. All IOs are precisely designed with length matching; XC7K325T development board has 3 user switches;...
Getting Started Below image shows the dimension of the QMTECH XC7K325T development board: 160mm x 90mm. The unit in below image is millimeter(mm). Figure 2-1. QMTECH XC7K325T Development Board Dimension QMTECH XC7K325T Development Board User Manual V01...
Install Development Tools To develop FPGA applications, users need to prepare Xilinx Vivado 2018.3, Xilinx USB platform cable, XC7K325T development board and 6V DC power supply. Below image shows the Xilinx Vivado 2018.3 development environment which could be downloaded from...
QMTECH XC7K325T Development Board Hardware Design 2.2.1 FPGA Power Supply The development board needs DC input as power supply which could be directly injected from power header JP1. The on board LED D4 indicates the 3.3V supply status, it will be turned on when the power supply is active.
Figure 2-5. 50MHz System Clock 2.2.3 SPI Flash Boot In default, the FPGA XC7K325T boots from external SPI Flash, detailed hardware design is shown in below figure. The SPI flash is using S25FL128L manufactured by Infineon(Spansion), with 128Mbit memory storage. S25FL128L FPGA_CSO_B 4.7K...
