ULX3S PCB

This is work-in-progress place for putting some wishes of a small (94x51 mm) FPGA board.

Instead of describing in written, it is better explained when drawn in kicad:

kicad ulx3s.pro

Schematics is mostly complete. PCB routing is complete, but needs improvement mainly for the power supply.

3D preview

TOP BOTTOM

Features

FPGA: Lattice ECP5 LFE5U-25F-6BG381C

USB: FTDI FT231XS (1Mbit JTAG and 3Mbit usbserial)

GPIO: All differential, PMOD-friendly

RAM: 32MB SDRAM MT48LC16M16

Flash: 8MB SPI flash S25FL164 for FPGA config

Storage: Micro-SD slot

LEDs: 10 (8 blink-LEDs, 2 USB leds)

Buttons: 6 (4 direction and 2 fire buttons)

Audio: 3.5 mm stereo jack

Video: GPDI connector with 3.3V-5V I2C bidirectional level shifter

Display: placeholder for 0.96-1.3" SPI OLED COLOR or B/W

WiFi+bluetooth: placeholder for ESP-32 (JTAG and serial over WiFi possible)

Power: 3 Switching voltage regulators: 1.2V, 2.5V, 3.3V

Low power sleep: RTC clock wakeup, quartz and battery

GPDI is General Purpose Differential Interface, Electrically LVDS, mostly TMDS tolerant female receptacle more-or-less compatible with digital monitors/TVs

Todo

Finish routing and especially improve Power section (thicker power lines, separately routed feedback)

2.54 mm external JTAG header

[ ] resistors for LEDs
[ ] move USB LEDs from bottom to top side
[ ] increase thickness of power lines (5V, 3.3V, 2.5V)
[ ] compile a f32c bitstream using the schematics
[ ] connect more lines from ESP-32 to FPGA
[ ] connect FPGA USB D+/D- with 1.5k pullup in USB 1.1 (full speed) mode
[ ] Jumpers to switch 2.5V/3.3V for left IO banks
