LimeSDR-QPCIe Board Architecture
The heart of the LimeSDR-QPCIe board is Altera Cyclone V GX FPGA. Its main function is to transfer digital data between the PC through an edge PCIE and a USB3.0 connector. The block diagram for LimeSDR-QPCIe board is presented in the Figure 5.
FPGA configuration
FPGA is set to use x1 Active Serial (AS) configuration scheme. In this scheme if valid configuration file exists in FLASH memory (IC30 or IC32) it is automatically loaded after power is applied to the board. In Table 2 it is listed resistor setup for Active Serial (AS) configuration mode select.
| Schematic signal name | Logic level | 0R Resistor setup | |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSEL0 | H | R160 (NF) | R161 (Fit) |
| MSEL1 | H | R163 (NF) | R164 (Fit) |
| MSEL2 | L | R166 (Fit) | R167 (NF) |
| MSEL3 | L | R168 (Fit) | R169 (NF) |
| MSEL4 | H | R171 (NF) | R172 (Fit) |
There are two options which allows to change configuration file in FLASH memory:
- USB 3.0 controller – CYUSB3013 (IC42) has access to configuration memory. With valid firmware and software, gateware for FPGA can be uploaded into FLASH memory (IC30 or IC32) by using USB3.0 cable. IC42 can initiate FPGA reconfiguration. For signal interconnect details see chapter 2.2.2.3 USB 3.0 Controller.
- JTAG Header – 10pin connector (J26) provides access to FPGA JTAG chain. By using external download cable such as USB-Blaster and Quartus II Programmer software FLASH memory (IC30 or IC32) can be reprogrammed. JTAG connections are listed in Table 3.

Main components
This chapter describes main components mounted on LimeSDR-QPCIe v1.2 board.
LMS7002M RF transceiver
There are two LMS7002M field programmable RF transceiver ICs (LMS7002M#1 - IC1 and LMS7002M#1 - IC2), interface signals can be acknowledged by corresponding names LMSx_*, where x can be 1 or 2. For example LMS1_* signals belongs to IC1 and LMS2_* belongs to IC2.
In the following manner interface and control signals are described below:
- Digital Interface Signals: LMS7002 is using data bus LMSx_DIQ1_D[11:0] and LMSx_DIQ2_D[11:0], LMSx_ENABLE_IQSEL1 and LMSx_ENABLE_IQSEL2, LMSx_FCLK1 and LMSx_FCLK2, LMSx_MCLK1 and LMSx_MCLK2 signals to transfer data to/from FPGA. Indexes 1 and 2 indicate transceiver digital data PORT-1 or PORT-2. Any of these ports can be used to transmit or receive data. By default, PORT-1 is selected as receive port and PORT-2 is selected as transmit port. The FCLK# is input clock and MCLK# is output clock for LMS7002M transceiver. TXNRX signals sets ports directions. For LMS7002M interface timing details refer to LMS7002M transceiver datasheet page 12-13. [link].
- LMS Control Signals: these signals are used for optional functionality:
- LMSx_RXEN, LMSx_TXEN – receiver and transmitter enable/disable signals.
- LMS_RESET – LMS7002M reset signal.
- SPI Interface: LMS7002M transceiver is configured via 4-wire SPI interface; FPGA_SPI0_SCLK, FPGA_SPI0_MOSI, FPGA_SPI0_MISO_LMSx, FPGA_SPI0_LMSx_SS. The SPI interface controlled from FPGA.
- LMS I2C Interface: LMS EEPROM are connected to this interface. The signals LMSx_I2C_SCL, LMSx_I2C_DATA is not connected to FPGA
The Table 4 and Table 5below lists RF transceiver respectively LMS7002#1 and LMS7002#2 pins, schematic signal names, FPGA interconnections and I/O standard.

SDRAM
LimeSDR-QPCIe board has four 2Gb DDR3 SDRAM memory ICs (AS4C128M16D3B-12BCN [link]) which are connected to Cyclone V GX FPGA. The memory can be used for data manipulation at high data rates between transceiver and FPGA. There are two independent DDR3 SDRAM interfaces:
- DDR3 TOP – this is 32bit data interface which consist of two x16 memory devices (IC33 AND IC34) with a single address and command bus. Interface is connected to FPGA Bank 7A and 8A and uses hard memory controller. Error! Reference source not found. lists DDR3 TOP interface pins.
- DDR3 BOT – this is 32bit data interface which consist of two x16 memory devices (IC35 AND IC36) with a single address and command bus. Interface is connected to FPGA Bank 3B and 4A and uses hard memory controller. lists DDR3 BOT interface pins.
Following Table 6 lists signal and pin information for DDR3 TOP interface and Table 7 for the DDR3 BOT interface.
