Vendor: Xilinx, Inc. Category: System Controller

XPS External Peripheral Controller

This specification defines the architecture and interface requirements for the External Peripheral Controller (EPC).

Overview

This specification defines the architecture and interface requirements for the External Peripheral Controller (EPC). The controller supports data transfers between the Processor Local Bus (PLB) and the external synchronous and/or asynchronous peripheral devices.

Key features

  • Connects as a 32-bit slave on PLB V4.6 buses of 32-bit, 64-bit or 128-bit
  • PLB interface with byte enable support
  • Parameterized support of up to four external peripheral devices with each device configured with separate base address and high address range
  • Supports both synchronous and asynchronous access modes of peripheral devices with the support for a separate clock domain for synchronous peripheral devices
  • Supports both multiplexed and non-multiplexed address and data buses

Designing FPGA Based Reliable Systems Using Virtex-5 System Monitor

The fast track development and 24x7 operations have put tremendous pressure on the servers, networking systems and communication equipments. It has become necessary that these systems should operate reliably irrespective of the change in external operating environment like the temperature, humidity, and power fluctuations or, on chip conditions like on-chip temperature, internal voltage levels etc. Measuring the reliability of these physical systems is must for every operational unit.

Designing with Virtex-5 Embedded Tri-Mode Ethernet MACs

In this article, we’ll review the feature set of Ethernet MAC blocks in Virtex-5 devices. We’ll also describe the differences between Virtex-5 and Virtex-4 FX Ethernet MACs, illustrate some potential applications, and describe how to use standard Xilinx tools to integrate an Ethernet MAC into your design.
