General Description
The Lattice USB3 Video Bridge Development Kit is built around the LatticeECP3-17EA 328-ball csBGA FPGA
device. The board with the FPGA, peripheral devices and connectors provide a seamless USB3 bridge function for
video streaming and capturing applications utilizing the USB 3.0 USB Video Class (UVC) standard. It also supports
multi-channel I2S PCM audio streaming through the same USB3 link. The parallel video and audio interface from
the ADV7611 HDMI Receiver, the embedded CML SERDES Receiver interface, and differential I/Os on the sensor
expansion header are useful for evaluating various Lattice IP cores for video interfacing, as well as the USB 3.0
UVC bridge design. A number of test points are provided to validate various power and configuration status.
Figure 1 shows the conceptual connections between LatticeECP3 FPGA device and other peripheral components
of the USB3 Bridge board.
The contents of this user's guide include top-level functional descriptions of the various portions of the board,
descriptions of the on-board connectors, diodes and switches and a complete set of schematics.

Initial Setup and Handling
The following is recommended reading prior to removing the evaluation board from the static shielding bag and
may or may not apply to your particular use of the board.
CAUTION: The devices on the board can be damaged by improper handling.
The devices on the evaluation board contain fairly robust ESD (Electro Static Discharge) protection structures
within them, able to withstand typical static discharges (see the “Human Body Model” specification for an example
of ESD characterization requirements). Even so, the devices are static sensitive to conditions that exceed their
designed in protection. For example: higher static voltages, as well as lower voltages with lower series resistance
or larger capacitance than the respective ESD specifications can potentially damage or degrade the devices on the
evaluation board.
As such, it is recommended that you wear an approved and functioning grounded wrist strap at all times while han-
dling the evaluation board when it is removed from the static shielding bag. If you will not be using the board for a
while, it is best to put it back in the static shielding bag. Please save the static shielding bag and packing box for
future storage of the board when it is not in use.
When reaching for the board, it is recommended that you first touch the outside shield portion of the SDI connector.
This will neutralize any static voltage difference between your body and the board prior to any contact with signal
I/O.
CAUTION: To minimize the possibility of ESD damage, the first and last electrical connections to the board should
always be from test equipment chassis ground to the pin 1 of the J3 header.

Lattice USB3 Video Bridge Development Kit
Before connecting signals or power to the board, attach a cable from chassis ground on grounded test equipment
to the to the pin 1 of the J3 header. Connecting the board ground to test equipment chassis ground will decrease
the risk of ESD damage to the I/O on the board as the initial connections to the board are made. Likewise, when
unplugging cables from the evaluation board, the last connection unplugged, should be the chassis GND connec-
tion to the evaluation board GND. If you have a signal source that is floating with respect to chassis GND, attempt
to neutralize any static charge on that signal source prior to attaching it to the evaluation board.
If you are holding or carrying the board when it is not in a static shielding bag, please keep one finger on the out-
side shield portion of the SDI connector. This will keep the board at the same voltage potential as your body until
you can pick up the Dstatic shielding bag and put the board back in it.
Electrical, Mechanical and Environmental Specifications
The nominal board dimensions are 99 mm x 69 mm. On the physical board itself, connectors include pin 1 indica-
tors as a dot, or a number “1” beside the pin 1 on the outer layer silk screen. The environmental specifications are
as follows:
• Operating temperature: 0 °C to 55 °C
• Storage temperature: -40 °C to 75 °C

LatticeECP3 Device
This board features a LatticeECP3-17 FPGA with a 1.2 V DC core in a 328-ball csBGA 10 mm x10 mm package. A
complete description of this device can be found on the Lattice web site at www.latticesemi.com/prod-
ucts/fpga/ecp3.
USB3 Connector (J8)
The board is powered and communicates with the USB 3.0 Host through an USB 3.0 Micro b connector/receptacle.
It is connected to the host with the provided USB 3.0 A-to-Micro b cable.
Auxiliary Power Connector (J9)
The board can be alternately supplied by a single 5 V DC power supply at J9. On-board step-down switching regu-
lators then provide the necessary supply voltages: 3.3 V, 2.5 V, 1.8 V, 1.2 V. For proper operation, the 5 V DC power
applied at J9 should be within the range of +4,75 V min. to +5,25 V max. The requirements for the J10 power jack
itself are listed in Table 1.
Table 1. Auxiliary Power Jack J9 Specifications
Power Supplies
The on-board switching and linear regulator output voltages can be measured at test points located around the
board as shown in Table 2.
Table 2. Test Points for On-Board Regulator Voltages
Each of the step-down switching regulators, U7, U8 and U9, incorporate typical resistor divider voltage feedback to
divide down the regulator output voltage and compare it against an internal reference voltage. The regulator then
adjusts the output voltage higher or lower such that the resistor divided voltage matches the internal reference. By
doing this, the regulator output voltage remains at a constant voltage value independent of the load driven. Each
regulator output voltage follows this equation:
Vout= (1 + resistor ratio) x (regulator internal reference voltage)
See the LT3685 and LTC3621 device data sheets for additional details about these devices.
The 1.8 V regulator (U10) is a low dropout linear type regulator with an adjustable output voltage which is set using
the external resistive divider. The output voltage is given by the formula:
Vout= (1 + resistor ratio) x (Vadj)
where Vadj is feedback voltage.

See the LP38511 device data sheet for additional details about this device.
The SERDES 1.2 V regulators (U11) are low dropout linear types that deliver a constant 1.2 V output voltage when
powered by the 2.5 V input voltage. In contrast to the switching regulators discussed above, the U11 linear regula-
tors do not generate switching noise, so they are a good choice for powering the LatticeECP3 SERDES to give the
lowest jitter generation. Also, U11 does not use resistor divider networks to set the output voltage, instead it is set
up to directly copy its own internal 1.215 V reference voltage to its outputs. The U11 regulator outputs are available
for testing at test points TP8 and TP9. See the LT3029 device data sheets for additional details about this device.
When using the various I/O test points located around the board, be sure to not exceed the LatticeECP3 Family
Data Sheet specified absolute maximum rating for Output Supply Voltage VCCIO range of -0.5 V to +3.75 V, or
damage to the device may occur. Also, for I/O input capability of the various I/O standards supported by the
LatticeECP3 sysIO structures, see the LatticeECP3 sysIO Usage Guide.
Cypress EZ-USB FX3 (U5)
Cypress’s EZ-USB FX3 is the next-generation USB 3.0 peripheral controller, providing integrated and flexible fea-
tures.
FX3 integrates a fully configurable, parallel, general programmable interface called GPIF II, which can connect to
any processor, ASIC, or FPGA. It provides simple connectivity to popular interfaces, such as asynchronous SRAM,
asynchronous and synchronous address data multiplexed interfaces, and parallel ATA.
FX3 has integrated the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 physical layers (PHYs) along with a 32-bit ARM926EJ-S micropro-
cessor for powerful data processing and for building custom applications. It implements an architecture that
enables 375-MBps data transfer from GPIF II to the USB interface.
For more information on the EZ-USB FX3, please refer to the EZ-USB FX3 Datasheet
http://www.cypress.com/?docID=44322.
GPIF II Interface
The GPIF II interface implements the Slave FIFO signaling to receive the UVC and UAC packeted streaming data
from the LatticeECP3. For more information about the Slave FIFO interface, please consult the EZ-USB FX3 Data-
sheet technical reference manual http://www.cypress.com/?docID=44322. The signal connections between the EZ-
USB FX3 and the Lattice ECP3 Device are shown in Table 3.

SPI Serial Flash (U12)
The U12 SPI Flash device used on this board is a 16-pin, 16-Mbit device, operated by the EZ-USB FX3. It is suffi-
cient to store both the EZ-USB FX3 Firmware and the LatticeECP3 Bitstream. The EZ-USB FX3 will boot from the
SPI flash, then read out and download the LatticeECP3 Bitstream over the Slave SPI sysCONFIG interface. The
SPI Flash device is an STMicro SPI-M25P16 in an 8-pin package.
LatticeECP3 IO Bank Voltages
Most of the bank voltages on the LatticeECP3-17 device (U1) have been hard-wired to specific power supply val-
ues, except for the bank 2 which can be set to different voltage levels to support various sensor and camera inter-
faces through the expansion connector J1. The voltage assignment is shown in Table 4.

Clock Sources
There are two crystals, two oscillators, and a programmable clock generator on the Lattice USB 3.0 Video Bridge
Development Kit. The two crystals are used as clocks for the ADV7611 and the EZ-USB FX3. One oscillator is
used to provide the 32.768 kHz RTC clock to the EZ-USB FX3, While the 27 MHz oscillator is used as the refer-
ence clock for the Si5338 clock generator, which is used to drive the (by default 100 MHz) system and GPIF inter-
face frequency to the LatticeECP3 (U1), as well as the reference differential clock to the LatticeECP3 SERDES
used for the SDI interface. Table 5 shows the oscillator usage. Locations Y2 and Y3 are the oscillators.
