J1 and J3 - +5 V Power Connectors

These pin header type connectors used as jumpers to supply +5 V for the Myriad-RF 1 board and DE0-Nano FPGA module. The options are used as shown below:

  • Use jumper on J1 if Myriad-RF 1 is to receive power from the interface board.
  • Use jumper on J3 if DE0-Nano power is supplied from the interface board.

Hardware Options

The board is shipped in a default mode for basic operation. Various options are available depending on the system configuration required for testing or development work. The options are summarised below and the following sections describe the board modifications required to achieve these configurations.

Reference Frequency and Data Clocks Distribution

The LMS6002D device provides a flexible clocking scheme which enables the PLL clock, RX clock and TX clock to be independently set. The development kit is shipped with a default mode using the on board 30.72 MHz clock for PLL clock only. The board can be reconfigured to allow users to provide clock frequency for digital interface and PLL clock using programmable clock generator from Silicon Labs (Si5356) which is capable of synthesising four independent frequencies. The device has four outputs connected to the LMS6002DFN PLL clock, RX data interface clock, TX data interface clock and to the J6 connector. In order to reprogram the frequency from the default setting of 30.72 MHz, please use component change as given in the table below. Please note that NF denotes that component is not fitted:

Reference Clock Options
Component Default Mode - PLL Clock set to 30.72 MHz Programmable Mode - PLL Clock Can be Reprogrammed
R15 0 Ohm NF
R24 NF 0 Ohm

SPI Options

The Myriad-RF 1 board offers two options for SPI communications: SPI communication is established via the FPGA and USB microcontroller located on the interface board; or SPI communication is established via the Myriad-RF 1's own USB microcontroller. In order to ensure stable SPI communication for your chosen option, the interface board may require a component change. Please note that NF denotes that component is not fitted:

SPI Options
Components SPI via FPGA SPI via USB controller
R48 NF 0 Ohm
R58 NF 0 Ohm
R51 NF 0 Ohm
R46 NF 0 Ohm
R52 NF 0 Ohm

GPIO Control Truth Table

The RF switches on the RF board are controlled via the GPIO0-2 logic signals, provided by the FPGA module on the interface board. This enables the user to choose RF input/output depending on the operation frequency. The truth table of the GPIO0-2 settings is shown below:

LMS6002D RF Input/Output GPIO0 GPIO1 GPIO2 Description
TX Out 1 X X 0 High band output (1500 - 3800 MHz)
TX Out 2 X X 1 Broadband output
RX In 1 1 1 X Low band input (300 - 2200 MHz)
RX In 2 0 1 X High band input (1500 - 3800 MHz)
RX In 3 0 0 X Broadband input
