Product Overview:  
The Pico family of products are revolutionary FPGA based embedded acceleration platforms.  
With performance that often exceeds modern microcomputers, a shockingly small form factor,  
and nominal power consumption that is less than one watt, the Pico family of products take  
computing to a whole new level.  
The Pico E-15 is based on the high-performance Virtex-4 FPGA chip. This device has the  
performance and power consumption of a custom chip (ASIC), but is completely  
reconfigurable! The E-15 features four high speed converters and direct video capture.  
Advanced users will enjoy the open source development kits which allow absolute control over  
the hardware. For those who desire a more high level approach to firmware, Viva provides a  
graphical development model. Impulse C™ support is also included for rapid firmware  
development in the C programming language. Board support packages are available for  
operating systems such as Linux, µC/OS, Green Hills Integrity OS™ and VX Works.

Overpower Considerations:  
The Pico E-15 FX60 is designed desktop computers, and is not recommended for use in  
laptops. Because of the large gate count of the FX60, it can easily exceed the PCCARD  
maximum current consumption specification of 1A. The FX-60 features built in over-  
temperature shutdown to protect both the card and the host system.  
The Pico E-15 FX60 should be used with an external heat sink and an extender card.

Field Programmable Gate Array  
The core of the Pico E-15 is a high performance Virtex-4 FPGA. Included in the FPGA are the  
FPGA Fabric, an optional PowerPC ™ processor, ultra high-speed DSP slices and RAM.  
FPGA Fabric:  
The “Fabric” of an FPGA comprises an array of logic elements that can be connected in  
virtually unlimited patterns. These patterns of logic elements can be used to perform basic  
mathematical functions such as addition and subtraction, or can be grouped together to  
perform complex functions like Fast Fourier Transforms. Logic elements can even be  
connected to create a custom soft processor.  
The advantage of the FPGA is that the internal logic can be optimized for a specific  
application. FPGAs are also able to execute operations in parallel, not being limited by  
sequential execution like a traditional processor. FPGA operations can be executed in a  
parallel, pipelined or even an asynchronous manner. The FPGA allows incredible application  
speed with very low power consumption. Your imagination is really the limit.  
DSP Slice:  
Embedded within the FPGA are special areas that are designed to facilitate high speed “digital  
signal processing.” These areas are called DSP slices. The DSP slice can be configured in a  
variety of different ways. For example, one DSP slice can be configured to be one tap of an  
FIR filter. DSP slices are fully pipelined and feature incredible speed. When configured for FIR  
filtering the DSP slice has a guaranteed performance of 500MHz with a latency of one cycle.  
An 18x18 multiply and accumulate also runs at 250MHz with a latency of two cycles. Smaller  
data widths allow higher clock speeds.

PowerPC™ Processor  
PPC405x3 Processor Introduction:  
FPGAs are renowned for their ability to process parallel logic, but they typically have a hard  
time emulating a high performance processor. To get the best of both worlds the Virtex-4™  
features an embedded Power PC Processor. Since the processor shares the same die as the  
FPGA it seamlessly interfaces with the FPGA fabric.  
A new feature of the Virtex-4 FPGA is the addition of an auxiliary processor interface. The APU  
is the highest speed interface between the PowerPC™ processor and the FPGA fabric. Up to  
four custom instructions may be implemented in the FPGA, which are accessible from the  
PowerPC™.  
Board support packages are currently available for  
code is available open source under the GPL.

CPLD TurboLoader  
A CPLD (Complex Programmable Logic Device) is a smaller version of an FPGA (described  
above) with permanent Flash storage built in. The Pico E-15 contains one CPLD that loads  
and reconfigures the FPGA. The Pico firmware guide describes how to access the CPLD  
TurboLoader.  
The Flash ROM’s address bus can be controlled by either the TurboLoader or the FPGA (but  
not both). During power-up or reboot, the TurboLoader is in control of the Flash ROM Address  
bus. At all other times the FPGA is in control of the address bus.

Flash Memory  
The Pico E-15 comes equipped with at least 64MB of Flash ROM. The Flash ROM is divided  
into 512 sectors that can be erased independently. Most of the space on the ROM is reserved  
for the user.  
The Flash ROM’s address bus can be controlled by either the TurboLoader or the FPGA (but  
not both). During power-up or reboot, the TurboLoader is in control of the Flash ROM Address  
bus. At all other times the FPGA is in control of the address bus.  
The Flash ROM has a simple, open file system which allows the user to store FPGA images,  
ELF binary files, or other data. The primary image is used to boot the FPGA initially, and the  
backup image is only invoked if the primary image fails to load correctly. Executable files are in  
ELF format and are loaded by a loader within the secondary image. The primary image will  
either load the secondary image or pause for the PC to access and manage the file system.

The Pico E-15 comes equipped with 256MB of DDR2 SDRAM memory. There are two 1024Mb  
chips, each with a separate 16 bit data path to the host to form one 32 bit bank. From 0°C to  
+85°C, the ram can run at up to 333 MHz. For operation at temperatures below 0°C, special  
firmware with throttled ram timings is required. Please note that the RAM will not function  
below 125 MHz.

Temperature Sensor  
The Pico E-15 contains one temperature sensor that directly senses the die temperature of the  
Virex-4 FPGA. The digital interface of the remote temperature sensing chip is connected to the  
Cypress PSoC. If an overtemperature condition occurs, the PSoC will shutdown the FPGA  
until the temperature has dropped sufficiently below the shutdown threshold.  
The setpoints of the temperature shutdown circuit can be reprogrammed via the PSoC debug  
cable.

Sleep Controller  
The Pico E-15 contains one Cypress PSoC which is used to generate a clock for the  
bootloader and control the power state.  
The E-15 can be placed in a state where it draws almost no power, then wakes up  
automatically after a set amount of time.  
The sleep controller can be activated by the FPGA, or the external peripheral interface  
connector.  
The protocol for entering sleep state is simple. Simply pulse FPGA_POWERCTL_C for as  
many seconds as your wish to sleep, then lower the FPGA_POWERCTL_D signal.  
The Pico E-15 will awake from sleep if any of the following conditions are true:  
-Power is first applied  
-The sleep timer has run out  
-POWERCTL_D is low and POWERCTL_C is high  
The Pico E-15 will enter sleep mode if any of the following conditions are true:  
-An overtemperature condition is detected  
-The FPGA_POWERCTL_D pin is low  
-The POWERCTL_C pin is low

Tri-Mode Ethernet Interface  
The Pico E-15 features the Marvell Alaska series 88E1111 tri-mode Ethernet transceiver.  
Combined with the on-FPGA MAC (Middle access controller) a complete Ethernet solution is  
offered. Communication between the MAC and PHY takes place over an industry standard  
MII/GMII interface.  
The Ethernet transceiver features 10/100/1000 full/half duplex operation. It will automatically  
configure the physical interface on the fly for crossover or straight through operation. The PHY  
can even automatically correct for common wiring mistakes. The PHY has a built in Time  
Domain Reflectometer which can diagnose cable problems and pinpoint their distance away  
from the transceiver.  
The Ethernet interface on the Pico is magnetic-less allowing high speed, low power digital  
interconnect directly to Ethernet backplanes. DO NOT directly connect the Ethernet interface  
to a hub or switch without a magnetic isolation module.  
The Marvell 88E1111 is the only user-accessible chip on the Pico E-15 that requires an NDA  
for access to the datasheets. If you are interested in some of the advanced features not  
supported by the native driver, contact Pico Computing for assistance in obtaining an NDA  
from Marvell. Users are advised not to contact Marvell directly.

Digital Peripheral Interface  
The Pico E-15 features 2 GPIO lines which are used for external peripheral support. The GPIO  
lines are always enabled.  
All GPIO signals have user selectable pull-up, pull-down, keeper or HI-Z termination. Drive  
strength is also user selectable between 2 and 24mA. All GPIOs can be configured for input,  
output and bi-directional mode.  
GPIO 1 has a 50 ohm resistor in series with the output to allow connectivity with low voltage  
devices which may clamp a 3.3V signal.

High Speed Analog to Digital Converters  
The Pico E-15 features 2 high speed analog to digital converters. The converters are optimized  
for high-frequency, high-performance, low-power, low-noise operation. The converters have  
integrated DC blocking capacitors, and thus, cannot be used on very low frequency signals.  
The ADC should be driven by a source with an impedance of 50 ohms.  
To ensure accuracy at high speeds, the low-jitter 125 MHz reference clock must be used. The  
converters may be tuned to different applications. For example: a lower termination impedance  
may be traded for more sensitivity. A wider high frequency input range may be traded for less  
high frequency noise rejection. Contact Pico Computing with your application requirements.  
The data returning from the ADCs must be sampled on the rising edge of the appropriate clock  
return pin. Even when the ADCs are clocked from the same source, they will be running out of  
sync because of the duty cycle stabilizer (which provides greater resolution). The Pico E-15  
can be special ordered with the duty cycle stabilizer perminately disabled.

CardBus / Digital Bus Interface  
The Pico E-15 can run as a standalone product or be connected to a host using the CardBus  
connector. By default, the Pico E-15 ships with firmware that is ready for use as a CardBus  
device.  
The CardBus interface is a subset of PCI. The data path is 32 bits wide and is synchronous.  
The wiring of the CardBus interface supports both completion and mastering of the bus.  
When the Pico E-15 is not connected to a CardBus host, the digital bus can be reconfigured to  
connect with a wide variety of high speed digital busses and peripherals. With proper external  
termination, speeds of over 100 MHz are possible. The external digital bus can only interface  
with 3.3V logic.  
Those who are interested in alternate interfaces should contact Pico Computing. The CardBus  
interface source code and support is available.

JTAG Debug Interface  
The Pico E-15 is equipped with a JTAG diagnostic port which allows real-time debugging of  
hardware, firmware and software.  
Some JTAG programs require the length of the instruction register (IR). The IR length is listed  
below for all devices in the JTAG chain. The FPGA IR length changes depending on how  
many PowerPCs are internally connected to the JTAG chain in the FPGA.

The Pico E-15 has a low power PSoC microcontroller (also known as the sleep controller)  
which controls the power to the rest of the board. The PSoC also generates a 24 MHz clock for  
the TurboLoader. The PSoC features an in-circuit programming interface, although it is  
unlinkey that a user will ever need to debug or modify the PSoC firmware.  
To program the PSoC the following parts are required:

CardBus Socket  
FCI  
71299-050CALF  
The CardBus Socket is typically in stock at Mouser Electronics. (http://www.mouser.com)  
The function and direction of the pins on the CardBus interface can be easily changed to suit  
the needs of a custom interface. Series termination on the E-15 is zero ohms, but a larger  
value can be used if it is required for your application.

Appendix G – Errata  
The following section lists all known errata:  
All versions:  
Permanent damage will result if the Pico E-15 is left un-configured and powered on for more  
than 10 minutes. This should not be a problem since the Pico E-15 automatically loads an  
FPGA image upon power-on.

Appendix H – FPGA Performance Enhancements  
Overview:  
Like most silicon devices, the FPGA on the Pico E-15 can be overclocked if proper cooling  
techniques are employed. Care must be taken to avoid thermal runaway.  
Thermal Runaway:  
As the die temperature of the FPGA increases, it draws more power. This extra power gets  
turned into heat. If thermal equilibrium is not reached with proper cooling, the FPGA will  
overheat. The E-15 is protected against catestropic overtemperature conditions via the  
integrated temperature sensor, although the limits should not routinely be pushed. The  
maximum FPGA core temperature is 150°C. Note that chips surrounding the FPGA can be  
damaged by temperatures above 70°C.  
Heat Sink Placement:  
The heat sink of the FPGA is internally connected via thermal grease to the case of the  
CardBus card on the bottom side (no markings). Placing a large heat sink on the outside of the  
case can allow higher performance.
