2.4. Clock
A 50 MHz is equipped as on-board clock. External clock can be input from user
I/Os.
For more details, please refer to the circuit schematics.
2.5. Power Supply
This board operates from single DC 5.0 V power supply from user I/O connector
(CNA and CNB). The external power supply should be sufficient and stabilized.
Please do not apply over 5.0V voltage. Internally required 3.3[V], 2.5[V] and 1.2[V]
are generated by on-board voltage regulators.
You can also use USB bus power by setting JP2.
1-3, 2-4: Short (factory setting)
Powered from user I/O connector only
1-2, 3-4: Short
Powered by USB bus power and user I/O connector
(Depending on FPGA design, power current may be
insufficient in USB only powering)

2.7. USB Controller
FTDI’s FT2232H is mounted as USB controller IC. By connecting to a PC, two
channels (A/B) are recognized.
Chanel A is connected to user ports of the FPGA for user communication. Chanel B
is connected to pins for FPGA configuration.
By setting JP3, reset function and EEPROM are available.
JP3 [1-2]
Short (factory setting):
EEPROM for FT2232H is available
Open
EEPROM for FT2232H is disabled.
- FT2232H will be recognized in default setting.
(FTDI default descriptor, both A/B channels are
configured as UART mode).
JP3 [3-4]
Short
FPGA pin is connected to FT2232H’s reset input
pin
- By setting FPGA pin to High, FT2232H will be
in its reset mode.
Open (factory setting)
FPGA pin is not connected to FT2232H’
s reset
input pin
- To use original configuration tool, set this open
2.8. Device Driver
To recognize USB controller, installing device driver is needed. The first time
EDA-301 is connected to a PC, installing it is required by Operation System.
The device driver is available at the support page.

2.9. Setting Switch (SW1)
SW1[2] is a user switch. SW1[1] is connected to MSEL0 pin of the FPGA. It is used
for the configuration mode switching.

Use this mode to configure the FPGA by the configuration device when it is
powered on.
USB / JTAG mode
Use this mode to configure the FPGA from a JTAG I/F or USB I/F using
“BBC[EDA-301]”. You can use this mode to avoid the FPGA being configured by
the configuration device.
