Evaluation Kit from CML for CMX704x and CMX714x IC products

CML Microcircuits has introduced the PE0402 platform evaluation kit to assist the evaluation and application development of the CMX704x/CMX714x range of FirmASIC products.

The board incorporates all the necessary power-supply regulation facilities for operation from a single 5-volt supply, and integrated with a C-BUS connector allowing the PE0402 to be operated by connection to either of the two C-BUS ports on a CML PE0002 Interface Card, and used with the PC GUI software, or by direct connection between the CMX7040 C-BUS and the user's IC development application or emulation system.

The key features of the PE0402 Evaluation kit are,

Pad-ring gives easy access to all CMX704x/CMX714x pins
Group functions on individual headers
Selectable clock sources
On-board 19.2MHz oscillator module
6.144MHz Xtal
External clock (SMA) injection point
Multiple 'probe attach' points
AC by-pass facility on signal inputs
Optional power source from PE002

The CMX704x Function Image (FI) can be loaded, on power-up, directly into the on-board target IC (CMX7040) using the PE0002 interface or the user's system. Alternatively, it can be automatically loaded from the on-board serial memory, on power-up where the on-board serial memory has to be preloaded with the FI by using a suitable third party programmer or by using the 'Program Serial Memory' tab on the PE0002 GUI software. Function images suitable for evaluation of the CMX704x and CMX714x ranges of products.
