1 Product Description
The TMPE627 is a standard full PCI Express Mini Card, providing a user programmable Xilinx Artix-7 7A50T
FPGA.
The TMPE627 provides 14 ESD-protected 5 V-tolerant TTL lines. All I/O lines are individually programmable
as input or output. TTL I/O lines can be set to high, low, or tristate. Each TTL I/O line has a pull-resistor to a
common programmable pull voltage that can be set so +3.3 V, +5 V and GND.
The DAC offers 4 channels of 16 bit analog outputs with software selectable output voltage ranges of 0-5 V,
0-10 V, 0-10.8 V, ±5 V, ±10 V or ±10.8 V. The output voltage range can be individually set per channel. The
conversion time is typ. 10 μs and the DAC outputs are capable to drive a load of 2 kΩ, with a capacitance up
to 4000 pF.
The 16 bit ADC offers 4 input channels that can be software configured to operate in single-ended or
differential mode. It offers software selectable input voltage ranges of 0-5.12 V, 0-10 V, 0-10.24 V, ±5 V,
±5.12 V, ±10 V and ±10.24 V with a sampling rate of up to 200 ksps.
Each TMPE627 is factory calibrated. The calibration information is stored in an on-board serial EEPROM
unique to each TMPE627 module.
The I/O signals are accessible through a 30 pin Pico-Clasp latching connector.
The User FPGA is configured by a SPI flash. An in-circuit debugging option is available via a JTAG header
for read back and real-time debugging of the FPGA design (using the Vivado ILA). With the TA308
Programming Kit direct JTAG access to the FPGA is possible, using the Xilinx Platform Cable USB.
User applications for the TMPE627 with 7A50T FPGA can be developed using the design software Vivado
Design Suite HL WebPACK Edition, which can be downloaded free of charge from www.xilinx.com.
TEWS offers a well-documented basic FPGA Example Application design. It includes a constraints file with
all necessary pin assignments and basic timing constraints. The example design covers the main
functionalities of the TMPE627. It implements PCIe to register mapping and basic I/O. It comes as a Xilinx
Vivado Design Suite project with source code and as a ready-to-download bit stream.

3 Handling and Operating Instructions
ESD Protection3.1
The PCI Express Mini Card module is sensitive to static electricity.
Packing, unpacking and all other module handling has to be done in
an ESD/EOS protected Area.
Height Restrictions3.2
The I/O connector and the heatsink will exceed the available PCI
Express Mini Card components height. Check carefully if your
application provides enough spacing for a TMPE627.
Thermal Considerations3.3
Due to its small size and high density, the TMPE627 can generate a
lot of heat.
Forced air cooling is recommended during operation. If forced air
cooling is not possible, another equivalent cooling mechanism must
be applied. Without adequate cooling, damage to the device can
occur.

4.3.2 Configuration via JTAG
For direct FPGA configuration, FPGA read back or in-system diagnostics with ChipScope, the JTAG
connector can be used to access the FPGA JTAG port. Also an indirect SPI-Flash programming is possible
via the JTAG Chain.
4.3.3 Generate Artix-7 Configuration Data
To use the maximum configuration speed, the TMPE627 must be configured to use the 100 MHz external
master clock as CCLK.
To use this configuration feature, the following configuration option must be set:
set_property BITSTREAM.CONFIG.EXTMASTERCCLK_EN div-1 [current_design]
set_property CONFIG_VOLTAGE 3.3 [current_design]
set_property CFGBVS VCCO [current_design]
To use the maximum data transfer speed of the User FPGA SPI Configuration Flash the SPI Configuration
Bus Width must be set to the x4.
set_property BITSTREAM.CONFIG.SPI_BUSWIDTH 4 [current_design]
set_property BITSTREAM.CONFIG.SPI_FALL_EDGE YES [current_design]
set_property CONFIG_MODE SPIx4 [current_design]
Without this option, the configuration time for the Artix-7 FPGA exceed the maximum PCIe bus setup time.

Table 4-7: Digital I/O Interface
4.5.1 TTL I/O Interface
Each I/O line is buffered by a 74LVC2G241. The 74LVC2G241 is a tri-state buffer that provides TTL
compatible inputs with 5 V-tolerance. The outputs can be set to tri-state with an output enable signal and
provide a 47 Ω serial resistor and a 4.7 kΩ pull resistor. The pull resistor guarantees a valid logic level when
the outputs are tristate and not driven externally. The pull voltage can be set to 3.3 V, 5 V or GND. When set
to 5 V, the outputs must not be driven, but set to tristate for a valid high level.

With the pull voltage set to 5 V, the digital I/O can weakly drive a higher voltage than 3.3 V by setting the
output to tri-state. This can be useful when connecting to a standard 5 V CMOS logic input, where a high
level of minimum 3.5 V is required. Drive DO constant low and use OE to toggle the output.
With the pull voltage set to GND, a pull-down functionality is implemented. Drive DO constant high and use
OE to toggle the output.

Table 4-8: I/O Pull Options
If the pull resistors float, the user should keep in mind that the I/O Lines are still connected via their pull
resistors.
The normal behavior is that the User FPGA code controls the I/O Pull Configuration depending on User
FPGA I/O Function. The SEL signals are connected to an analog multiplexer. With this multiplexer the
desired voltage can be adjusted directly from the User FPGA. The user must ensure that valid signals are
always driven.

Table 4-9: I/O Pull Configuration
4.5.1.1 Output Level & Output Current
Because of the 47 ohm series resistor, there is a reduced high-level voltage at the I/O pin when the output
buffer sources a noticeable current to the external load while driving a high-level. To maintain a proper TTL
high level, the recommended maximum I/O source current is 15 mA.
There is also an increased low-level voltage at the I/O pin when the output buffer sinks a noticeable current
from the external load while driving a low-level. To maintain a proper TTL low level, the recommended
maximum I/O sink current is 6 mA.
For achieving a 5 V CMOS high-level voltage (VOH >= 3.5 V), the external load should be high impedance. If
there would be a low impedance path to ground on the I/O load, this may result in a voltage divider with the
on-board pull resistor, significantly reducing the high-level voltage at the I/O pin. To maintain a proper 5 V
CMOS high level, the I/O load (leakage) current should not exceed 250 µA.
User GPIO4.6
The TMPE627 has some optional general purpose I/O and debug signals connected to the FPGA. The

The absolute input voltage limit for the analog inputs is ±11 V relative to ground for each pin. The common
mode range is limited by the buffer amplifier.

1Differential, Antiphase Inputs with a Zero Common Mode
Due to the wide common mode input voltage range the differential signal can be almost anywhere in the
allowed range, i.e. in the “±10 V” input range a ±5 V differential signal can have an offset (or common mode
voltage, (VIN+ + VIN–)/2 ) of 8 V without problem.
The single-ended input ranges are intended for input signals where VIN+ remains over VIN-. Usually VIN- is
connected to AGND and VIN+ is used as a standard single-ended input. However, the input signals are
allowed to swing with an arbitrary relationship to each other, provided each pin remains within the common
mode range and VIN+ remains over VIN-.

If signals without a ground reference should be connected, use the single-ended input scheme or connect
VIN+ and VIN- to AGND with a resistor to prevent the signal source to float out of the ADC’s common-mode
range. In most cases the VIN- connection suffices.

4.8.2 DAC Overcurrent Protection
Generally the DAC’s “Automatic Channel Power-Down” overcurrent protection feature should be used
instead of the current limit clamp. This minimizes the effect of a fault on a DAC output because of the limited
power supply.
In case of an overload condition, the DAC channel is powered down and its output is clamped to ground with
a resistance of ~4 kΩ. This condition is indicated by the OCx bit set to ‘1’ and the PUx set to ‘0’. The channel
can be powered up again by setting the PUx bit back to ‘1’ after the overload condition is relieved.

I²C-EEPROM4.9
The TMPE627 provides an Atmel AT24C04 4-kbit I²C memory, which is used to store the ADC and DAC
correction data.
Although the EEPROM is not write-protected it should be generally treated as a read-only resource
for FPGA designs.
Refer to “4.12.2 Correction EEPROM” for details about the stored data. The device address will be
“1010000”.

Thermal Management4.11
All components used on the TMPE627 are rated for the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The
actual temperature range the TMPE627 can be used in is highly dependent on the FPGA design, the load of
the modules I/O circuitry and the applied cooling method.
The module has several hot spots including operational amplifiers, ADC and DAC, power supplies and the
FPGA. The TMPE627 is equipped with a basic heatsink that help to evenly spread the heat and provides a
mounting base for additional cooling such as additional passive heatsinks, heat pipes or active cooling.
Mounting a heatsink will violate the Mini PCIe Card component envelope. Check carefully if your system
provides enough spacing for a TMPE627 with mounted heatsink. In space constrained systems mounting a
heatsink may not be possible. In this case forced air cooling must be applied during operation.
Use the Xilinx XPower Estimator (XPE) or the Vivado Power Report to determine whether additional cooling
requirements such as forced air cooling apply. It is also strongly recommended to use the internal
temperature monitoring of the Artix-7 and the on-board temperature sensor to monitor the temperature.
As an indication: With the example application running in a standard PC enclosure at 25°C the TMPE627
current requirement is 650 mA @ 3.3 V and 200 mA @ 1.5 V, resulting in a TMPE627 board temperature of
about 50°C and an internal temperature of the Artix-7 FPGA of about 60°C.
