OP5600 SIMULATOR
INTRODUCTION
The OP5600 is a complete simulation system capable of operating with either Spartan 3 or Virtex 6 FPGA platforms. It is designed to be used either as a desktop (or shelf top) or as a more traditional rack mount. It contains a powerful Target Computer and a exible, high-speed Front End Processor and a signal conditioning stage. The new design makes it easier to use with standard connectors (DB37, RJ45 and mini-BNC) without the need for input/output adaptors and allows quick connections for monitoring. The front of the chassis provides the monitoring interfaces and monitoring connectors, while the back of the chassis provides access to the FPGA monitoring connections, all I/O connectors, power cable and main power switch. Inside, the main housing is divided into two sections, each with a specic purpose and connected only by a DC power cable and a PCIe cable: In its standard conguration, the lower part of the chassis contains a powerful target computer that can be added to a network of simulators or can act as a standalone. The target computer includes the following features: ATX motherboard with up to 12 cores 6 DRAM connectors 250 Mb hard disk 600 W power supply PCIe boards (up to 8 slots, depending on the configuration).
The upper section contains the conditioning modules and a high speed Front-End Processor (this includes the DC supplies used for analog and digital signals). The upper section includes the following devices: Flat carrier capable of connecting up to 8 mezzanine boards, depending on the configuration Type B mezzanine boards are available in several types, including (but not limited to): -- OP5353, 32 digital inputs -- OP5354, 32 digital outputs -- OP5330, 16 analog inputs -- OP5340, 16 analog outputs Front-End processor (Spartan or Virtex) able to process conditioning signals and execute fast models previously downloaded through the PCIe link. This PCIe link is used to transmit and receive data between the target and the front-end processor.

All signals are represented by a positive-negative pair that are always available on the connector pins, for example: for channel 08 : (08+, -08) INTERFACE: For a single-ended output, the negative conductor is connected to Ground. For a differential output, the positive and negative signals are on the connector. For a differential input, the connection must be between the positive/negative pair. If the input is singled-ended, users ground must be connected to the negative side of the pair.

CAUTION
The monitoring board has a gain of 0.1 to allow higher signals to be read. Oscilloscopes must be adjusted with a gain of 10 to compensate and ensure a better reading. Only connect RJ45 cables from upper section (A) monitoring jacks to lower section monitoring panel (B, as shown). Connecting any other cable or device may result in damage to the equipment. The network cable must only be connected to the standard computer connector network jack (see page 12). DO NOT connect the network cable in any jack other than the jack intended for that purpose.

Optional - for advanced users. The OP5340 module has user selectable input attenuation ability. By default, the maximum input voltage range is set to 20 volts but each channel can be changed separately up to 120 volts. The OP5340 module contains resistor networks that allow insertion of additional precision resistors to change the input attenuation. The image on the right shows the placement for the additional resistors. Please refer to the table at the end of this section for the exact relationship between channels and resistors.

Software RT-LAB 8.4.0 and higher Hardware OP5600 and OP7000 simulators. OPAL-RT OP5620 and OP7220 carrier boards.
FEATURES
32 galvanically isolated output channels All outputs are outputted simultaneously, at up to 40 MSPS. Short-circuit protected by auto-resettable fuse. Outputs stage is a Push-Pull type circuit All outputs accept voltage of 5 to 30V and the output current is up to 50mA. Voltage supplied by user side.

OUTPUTS
Each galvanically isolated output has a push-pull transistor. It can sink up to 50 mA continuous, and up to +30V according to user requirements. It is current protected by resettable 150 mA fuse (PTC). The galvanic isolation circuitry is powered by an internal isolated DC supply.
CAUTION: If Vuser is connected to the simulator, the output voltage DOUT would be the same as Vuser as long as no RT-LAB model is running (output transistor is open).
