Random useful information

• LCD Information
  • SED1180 Datasheet (column driver)
  • SED1190 Datasheet (row driver)
  • LCD pinout
  • LCD pin diagram
  • Email 1
  • Email 2
  • MECI datasheet on similar LCD
• Chips we provide
  • The FPGA (EP20K100QC208-3V), buffers (74LVTH162245), Adjustable voltage regulator (LM1086-ADJ), and others
  • TLC5510 (limited supply)
  • ADS830 (limited supply)
• Recommendations for samples
  • AD9057 - Proven A/D converter used last year by Analog Devices.
  • ADC08100 - A/D converter by National Semi (recommended by James Mao)
  • MM74C923/4 - Keypad decoder (may not be suitable for you, but hopefully gives you an idea of what's out there and what to look for)
  • MAX6818 - Keypad debouncer (may not be suitable for you)
  • MAX232A - RS232 interface level converter
• Important information for A/D converters: The EE stockroom does not have a large selection of high speed op-amps for buffering the signal to the A/D converter. Therefore, whichever A/D converter you choose, make sure you look in the datasheet and find the recommended front-end amplifiers, and SAMPLE THOSE ALONG WITH THE A/D CONVERTER. Some examples are the AD8041, LM8272, THS3001, etc.
• Subtleties of Memory vs. Register Avalon slave devices
• Scope Trigger State Machine (VHDL source)

Datasheets

This is my collection of datasheets, which contains most that I have read for EE 52 and many others for other classes. In particular, look in the Altera folder at the top. This is not meant to be your exclusive reference, and is provided for instructional use only. Look also on the official site. Use Datasheet Archive or the manufacturer's website for other things you may need.

PCB layouts

Most of these are mirrored from the '52 site. Check there first; I'm not sure if these are up-to-date.

• Apex FPGA board schematic
• Apex FPGA board schematic source
• Apex adapter board layout
• Apex FPGA board layout (top and bottom traces)
• Apex FPGA board layout (component placement)
• Byteblaster MV board layout
• Byteblaster MV schematic
• Prototyping board layout (bottom)
• Prototyping board layout (top)
• SoPC Apex Adapter Pinout
• SoPC Apex Adapter Board - Special Considerations
• SoPC Apex Adapter Buffer Assignments
