 MachXO3 Starter Kit User Guide

Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Lattice Semiconductor MachXO3 Starter Kit!

This user’s guide describes how to start using the MachXO3 Starter Kit, an easy-to-use platform for evaluating and
designing with the MachXO3 ultra-low density FPGA. Along with the board and accessories, this kit includes a pre-
loaded demonstration design. You may also reprogram the on-board MachXO3 device to review your own custom
designs.

The MachXO3 Starter Kit currently features the MachXO3L-6900C (NVCM Based) or the MachXO3LF-6900C
(Flash Based) device in the 256-ball 0.8 mm pitch caBGA package. The kit also includes a Serial Flash Memory for
demonstrating external SPI boot-up. The external Flash Memory also supports a dual-boot mode in addition to
Golden boot/fail-safe boot options.

See the Ordering Information section for more information.

Note: Static electricity can severely shorten the lifespan of electronic components. See the Storage and Handling
section of this document for handling and storage tips.

Storage and Handling

Static electricity can shorten the lifespan of electronic components. Please observe these tips to prevent damage
that could occur from electro-static discharge:

• Use anti-static precautions such as operating on an anti-static mat and wearing an anti-static wrist-band.
• Store the evaluation board in the packaging provided.
• Touch a metal USB housing to equalize voltage potential between you and the board.

Software Requirements
You should install the following software before you begin developing new designs for the Starter Kit:

• Lattice Diamond® design software

• FTDI Chip USB hardware drivers (installed as an option within the Diamond installation program)

MachXO3 Device
This board currently features the MachXO3L-6900C FPGA which offers embedded Non-Volatile Configuration
Memory (NVCM) technology or the MachXO3LF-6900C FPGA which offers embedded Non-Volatile Flash technol-
ogy for instant-on operation in a single chip. Numerous system functions are included, such as two PLLs and 256
kbits of embedded RAM plus hardened implementations of I2C and SPI. Flexible, high performance I/Os support
numerous single-ended and differential standards including LVDS. The 256-ball BGA package provides up to 206
user I/Os in a 14 mm x 14 mm form factor. A complete description of this device can be found in the MachXO3
Family Data Sheet.

Demonstration Design
Lattice provides a simple, pre-programmed demo to illustrate basic operation of the MachXO3 device. The design
integrates an up-counter with the on-chip oscillator. The pre-programmed design resides in the external Serial
Flash Memory (SPANSION S25FL204K or S25FL208K).

Note: To restore the factory default demo and program it with other Lattice-supplied examples see the Download
Demo Designs section of this document.

Run the Demonstration Design

Upon power-up, the preprogrammed demonstration design automatically loads and drives the LED array in a 1-hertz
pattern. The program shows a clock divider driven either by the MachXO3 internal oscillator or the external FTDI clock
chip. The divider modules (heartbeat.v and kitcar.v) are clocked at the default frequency of 12 MHz which divides the
clock to cycle the LED display approximately once per second. The resulting light pattern is determined by the DIP
Switch (SW2) setting as shown in Table 1.

WARNING: Do not connect the board to your PC before you follow the driver installation procedure of this section.

Communication between the board and a PC via the USB connection cable requires installation of the FTDI chip
USB hardware drivers. Loading these drivers enables the computer to recognize and program the board. Drivers
can be loaded as part of the installation of Lattice Diamond design software or Diamond Programmer, or as a
stand-alone package.

Clock Sources
Clock sources for the LED demonstration designs originate from the MachXO3 on-chip oscillator or the 12 MHz
crystal X1. You may use an expansion header landing to drive a FPGA input with an external clock source.

Expansion Header Landings

The expansion header landings provide access to user GPIOs, primary inputs, clocks, and VCCO pins of the
MachXO3. The remaining pins serve as power supplies for external connections. Each landing is configured as
one 2 x 20 100 mil.

Board Modifications
This section describes modifications to the board to change or add functionality.

Bypassing the USB Programming Interface

The USB programming interface circuit (USB Programming and Debug Interface section) may be optionally
bypassed by removing the 0 Ohm resistors: R4, R5, R6, R7 (See Appendix A. Schematics, Sheet 2 of 8). Header
landing J1 provides JTAG signal access for jumper wires or a 1 x 8 pin header.

Applying External Power

The Starter Kit is powered by the circuit of Schematic Sheet 3 of 8 based on the 5 V USB power source. You may
disconnect this power source by removing the 0 Ohm resistors: R35 (VCC_1.2 V) and R42 (VCC_3.3 V). Power
connections are available from the test points, TP1 (+3.3 V) and TP2 (+1.2 V).

Measuring Bank and Core Power

Test points (TP1, TP2) provide access to power supplies of the MachXO3 FPGA. Inline 1 Ohm resistors: R31
(VCCIO0, +3.3 V, Bank 0), R25 (VCCIO1, +3.3 V, Bank 1), R37 (VCCIO2, +3.3 V, Bank 2), R32 (VCCIO3, +3.3 V,
Bank 3), R26 (VCCIO4, +3.3 V, Bank 4), R38 (VCCIO5, +3.3 V, Bank 5), R24 (VCC core, +1.2 V) can be used to mea-
sure current for the power supplies.

Mechanical Specifications
Dimensions: 3 in. [L] x 3 in. [W] x 1/2 in. [H]

Environmental Requirements
The evaluation board must be stored between –40° C and 100° C. The recommended operating temperature is
between 0° C and 90° C.

The board can be damaged without proper anti-static handling.

Troubleshooting
Use the tips in this section to diagnose problems with the Starter Kit.

LEDs Do Not Flash

If power is applied but the board does not flash according to the preprogrammed counter demonstration then it is
likely the board has been reprogrammed with a new design. Follow the directions in the Demonstration Design sec-
tion to restore the factory default.

USB Cable Not Detected

If Lattice Diamond Programmer or ispVM System does not recognize the USB cable after installing the Lattice USB
port drivers and rebooting, the incorrect USB driver may have been installed. This usually occurs if you attach the
board to your PC prior to installing the Lattice-supplied USB driver.

To access the Troubleshooting the USB Driver Installation Guide:

For Diamond software and standalone Diamond Programmer:

1. Start Diamond or Diamond Programmer and choose Help.

2. Search for USB driver or Troubleshooting, then select the Troubleshooting the USB Driver topic.
3. Follow the directions to install the Lattice USB driver.

For ispVM:

1. Start ispVM System and choose Options > Cable and I/O Port Setup.
The Cable and I/O Port Setup Dialog appears.

2. Click the Troubleshooting the USB Driver Installation Guide link.

The Troubleshooting the USB Driver Installation Guide document appears in your system’s PDF file reader.
3. Follow the directions to install the Lattice USB driver.

An alternate failure mode can occur when the user design assigns an output signal to the FPGA package pin C8
which is connected the oscillator (X1) output signal "12 MHz". This can occur unintentionally when the Placer ran-
domly assigns unconstrained outputs. In this case, the contention squelches the FTDI device (U1) clock input, ren-
dering it unable to communicate. To eliminate the contention, remove the resistor R23. This will restore the FTDI
device operation and allow the erasure of the offending FPGA image. Resistor R23 should be reinstalled if an
external clock source is desired.

Determine the Source of a Pre-Programmed Device

If the Starter Kit has been reprogrammed, the original demo design can be restored. To restore the board to the
factory default, see the Download Demo Designs section for details on downloading and reprogramming the
device.
