Specifications and operating details

The following points were extracted from the PDF text. Check the associated conditions, notes and limits in the complete document before using a value in a design.

  • This design is based on Lattice FPGA LFE5UM- 85F-8BG381I with DDR3L.
  • The key features of the DCA1000EVM are: The DCA1000EVM is based on LATTICE's High-Performance FPGA LFE5UM-85F-8BG381I – Package: 381 pins CABGA (17×17 mm). – 84K LUT's, 3744 Kbits Block RAM and 4 PLLs 2GByte of DDR3L device 16MByte SPI Fla.
  • It supports both 4 lanes (xWR1243/1443) and 2 lanes (xWR1642) Temperature range – industrial grade Maximum current rating – 700-mA maximum components and connectors as detailed in the user guide.
  • HOST PC configuration: – Intel Core i5 2.5 GHz or above – 8 GB RAM or above – Windows 10 Pro operating system – Static IP Address – 192.168.33.30 – 1-Gbps Ethernet port Pre-installed mmWave Studio in the mmWave Studio user guide..
  • The default Ethernet delay is pre-programmed as 25 µs in both the FPGA and software.
  • The user can configure the delay from 5 µs to 500 µs, depending on the host PC configuration and capabilities, to avoid packet loss or packets out of sequence.
  • FTDI USB Cable Detection The FPGA device (LFE5UM-85F) is detected in the programmer window, as shown in Figure 24. Figure 24.

Topics covered by the datasheet

The document includes sections related to:

  • Contents
  • Revision History

Engineering review checklist

  • Verify contact current, voltage, contact resistance, insulation and mating-cycle ratings.
  • Check the exact keying, pitch, orientation, mating part and mechanical drawing before footprint approval.
  • Review assembly force, retention, cable strain relief and environmental exposure for the application.

Always confirm values against the latest manufacturer-controlled datasheet, especially when qualifying a substitute or releasing a production BOM.
