• Stand-alone power supply by using 6 V DC external power
supply;
• Battery supply provided by Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery;
The CIA Board Features and Resources
Overview III
Other Features:
• supports VGA port;
• on-board serial EEPROM for storing PCB auxiliary information
(serial number, design version, etc);
• on-board Real Time Clock;
• FDD emulation;
• hosts a Common Mezzanine Card (CMC);
• Serial ADC (10-bit, 4-channel) and DAC (10-bit, dual).
Things to be changed in the second prototype I
• The relay to be substituted for a powerful MOSFET
(for instance FQP140N03L);
• The Ethernet support to be improved (100 Mbps);
• The power save features provided by many of the
on-board components to be used in order a better
power management to be achieved;
• Availability of memory components with higher
capacity to be checked and such components to be
upgraded (reason: too many on-board components
at this stage). Such activity is partly possible in the
current PCB design;
Things to be changed in the second prototype II
• The power consumption to be clarified so that the
power unit can be optimized (at this stage the power
consumption of the FPGA is hardly predictable);
• The clock distribution could be improved (from PCB
design point of view) by adding external PLLs;
• This list is expected to grow up after running and
debugging the first prototype.
More Applications
• A good substitution for the RUs during development and
prototyping time
(currently 3 Alteras’ PCI cards with big FPGA are used for
such tasks in the processing farm in Heidelberg);
• Hardware for development and prototyping of the
Scheduler;
• Hardware for development and prototyping of the Interface
to the L1-decision Unit (L1-DU);
