Guest
Hello, <BR>
I would like to design a card with one FPGA XC2V2000, two 18V04 and two ZBT RAMs of 512*36 each... <BR>
Could you help me to find any solution to connect my FPGA to the EEPROMs and to the ZBT RAMs... <BR>
Thank you very much for your comprehension and for your help... <p>Please answer me at drms@alinto.com <p>Yours, <BR>

Hi Saleem,

Firstly - unless there are reasons you haven't yet explained I would use the
platform flash parts for configuration, not the XC18V04. The XC2V2000
requires 7.5Mbits of config memory so you would be able to use a single
8Mbit part with no problems at all. The platform flash parts are cheaper
and available in much larger sizes (see here:
http://www.xilinx.com/publications/matrix/prom_color.pdf)

Regarding the ZBT RAMS - please take a look at the following apps note:
http://www.xilinx.com/bvdocs/appnotes/xapp136.pdf
Although it was written for Virtex and Spartan series parts, it should give
you some ideas. There is also a link to a reference design at the bottom of
the pdf. There is also a very good apps note (XAPP802) covering all sorts
of memory interfaces here :
http://www.xilinx.com/bvdocs/appnotes/xapp802.pdf

Alternatively, Xilinx have a Logicore available here :

I hope that helps,

Best Regards

As with other (Xilinx) parts, availability _is_ a thing to consider...

For example nuhorizons only shows the XCF01 in one single package available...

Of course - I meant the XCF08 ;)

Are you sure, Insight UK is allowed to deliver Xilinx parts to Germany? At
least Avnet USA was not...
