MOC6 Spartan 7 FPGA board
MOC6 FPGA board is designed specifically for use with MSS PMOD modules and can host up to three dual‑PMOD connector modules simultaneously. It is built on a six‑layer PCB featuring two internal ground planes and two dedicated 3.3 V power planes resulting in the lowest system noise possible. The board emphasizes ease of use and robust functionality.
Power can be supplied either through a USB connector or an external 5–15 V source. No jumpers are required for power selection, and both inputs may remain connected without conflict. The power path is fully reverse‑protected, eliminating concerns about accidental miswiring.
The PMOD ports are powered by a custom industry leading 3.3V LDO with 0.6uV RMS output noise and greater than 100dB ripple rejection at 1MHz. This combination ensures the ultimate in analog performance for our modules or any other analog applications you wish to use it for.
At the core is a Spartan‑7 FPGA with 80 DSP slices, making it well‑suited for interfacing with MSS modules. The devices also provides ample configurable logic to implement a 32‑bit MicroBlaze soft processor. The FPGA is clocked from a 1.5pS RMS jitter oscillator that is on average ten times less jitter than most FPGA boards. This timing is a definite plus in Delta Sigma performance applications.
For development, the boards include a USB‑to‑JTAG bridge for seamless integration with Vivado, as well as a high‑speed USB‑UART interface capable of up to 6 Mbps for efficient data transfer to and from a PC, including Python‑based processing or generation workflows. An external JTAG header is also available for advanced users.
Additional features include four jumper switches that double as configurable inputs, and a eight‑LED debug bank for monitoring clocks and data buses. All I/O ports meet the PMOD electrical and mechanical standards. There is no need to worry about improper configuration damaging any hardware.
