ICED Hardware

Links to documentation on the ICED Protosys hardware:
Common data files:
Parts Lists - for all ICED hardware (except EVC1)
Connectors - for EVC1, d-cards and sys-card
Wiring Data - for EVC1, d-cards and sys-card
sys-card - ICED motherboard: where the action is
d-card Transceiver Datasheet - logically, the d-card only consists of eight of these SCSI transceivers, 8 lines used in each
EVC1 data files. NOTE: we use the Xilinx XC4020E-2 FPGA.
Xilinx 4000E Family Description - logical data
Xilinx 4000E Electrical and Timing Characteristics
Xilinx 4000E Pinouts
Protoboard Reprogrammable Logic Datasheet - Lattice Semiconductor GAL20RA10B-20LP
ICED Main Memory data. NOTE: we use a Clearpoint 8MB 60ns EDO DRAM SIMM. (MB=megabytes, ns=nanoseconds access time, EDO=Extended Data Out - can be ignored, DRAM=Dynamic Random Access Memory - read/write memory, SIMM=Single Inline Memory Module - a standard type of memory)
SIMM Architecture - organization, schematic and pinout
Memory chip used in the SIMM - 16 of these 4 megabit chips are on the SIMM, with no other active parts

Other hardware information:
Xeltek Universal Logic/Prom Programmer - used for the reprogrammable PALs (GALs) used in the ICED interface logic on the Protoboard
Metastability Application Note - from TI

Hardware testing information - for support staff:
Testing the URI ICED Protosys Laboratory Hardware
ICED Protosys Hardware System Tests - details of hardware static/dynamic system tests
