Arduino connectors Microsemi FPGA Figure 2-1 • Creative Development Board Full schematics are available for download from the Future Electronics website: http://www.futureelectronics.com/en/campaign/microsemi/Pages/CreativeDevelopmentBoard.aspx The electronic versions of the dedicated schematics can be enlarged to a far greater degree than shown in the printed version of this manual or even in the electronic version of this manual, hence the interested reader is referred to the dedicated schematics to see the appropriate level of detail.
PLL Parts/Usage Instructions for PLL on Creative Development Board IGLOO2 and SmartFusion2 M2GL025 devices have up to six fabric CCC (FAB_CCC) blocks at 3.3V and a dedicated PLL associated with each CCC to provide flexible clocking to the FPGA fabric portion of the device.
Mini USB Connector for Power, JTAG and UART Connectivity The Mini USB Connector is used to power the BB as well as provide an embedded FlashPro5 interface to the Microsemi Libero and SoftConsole tools. More information and downloads for Libero and SoftConsole can be found here: http://www.microsemi.com/products/fpga-soc/design-resources/design-software...
MSS during Flash*Freeze mode, and the RTC. Differential I/O Standards Configuration of the I/O modules as a differential pair is handled by Microsemi SoC Products Group Libero software when the user instantiates a differential I/O macro in the design. Differential I/Os can also be used in conjunction with the embedded Input register (InReg), Output register (OutReg), Enable register (EnReg), and Double Data Rate registers (DDR).
