WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHY? 

Who are you? 

The DINI Group was formed in May of 1995. We started as a consulting organization 

specializing in FPGA and board-level design. We branched into ASIC design in 1998, with 

particular emphasis in PCI and PCI-X. Our standard products are the direct result of unmet 

FPGA-based product needs discovered in our consulting practice. At present we have 20 

employees. 

Measured in numbers of gates shipped, we are the world’s 

leading provider of ASIC prototyping hardware. 

What are your products? 

We make big FPGA boards. The most common application for big FPGA boards is ASIC 

and SOC prototyping. Big FPGA boards in specialized configurations can be used to 

accelerate certain types of algorithms. In other configurations, large FPGA boards can be 

used for high frequency, low-latency trading. 

Where? 

We are based in La Jolla, 

California. La Jolla is about 

10 miles north of San Diego. 

Why? 

FPGA Prototyping is rapidly 

becoming a requirement due 

to the complexity and costs 

of ASIC tapeouts and spins. 

But FPGA boards required 

specialized teams to design 

and build. It is much easier and cheaper to buy off-the-shelf FPGA boards from those of us 

that already have that specialized set of skills.

Stacking the DNV7F2A 

Stacking two DINI Virtex-7 FPGA boards 

Two boards can be ganged together to increase the amount of available FPGA resources. 

This example uses the DNV7F2A. In this example, shown in figure 1, two DNV7F2A 

cards are ganged together, seamlessly doubling the functionality. A DDR3 memory module 

is added to each of the FPGA cards. 

The cable 

We use a custom Samtec cable, DINAR1_CBL to connect the signals across the connectors 

of the two boards. You get these cables from us. The DINAR1_CLB is a high 

speed coax cable designed specifically to connect two 400-pin Samtec SEAM connectors 

together. Initially these cables are 30”, but eventually we will have several different 

lengths. 

The busses: YMB and NMB 

The first cable, marked in Figure 1 with as ‘1’, is required. This cable connects the YMB 

busses together and adds a bus between the Config FPGAs on the two boards. The second 

bus is used to connect the NMB busses from the slave FPGA card to the master FPGA 

card. Full NMB functionality is maintained including DMA data movement between all 

FPGAs. Also, the host system sees all FPGAs as if they were placed on a single circuit 

board. The data from the NMB busses on the slave card must be re-clocked in the slave’s 

Config FPGA, so this adds a few clock cycles of latency. The raw performance measured 

in terms of GB/s is not compromised. FPGA and other configuration data of the slave 

DNV7F2A is transferred over this second bus. Configuration of the slave FPGA board is 

also transparent to the host system and software. 

FPGA to FPGA Interconnect between boards 

The DNV7F2A has 4 expansion connectors, two per FPGA. These connectors are yellow 

in the block diagram and labeled 0 thru 3. When stacking two DNV7F2As, you can 

connect ANY DINAR1 expansion connector to any other DINAR1 Expansion connector 

using a DINAR1_CBL. It is perfectly reasonable to connect all four DINAR1 cables between 

the two DNV7F2As, but that would leave no expansion position open for memory 

or external peripherals. In the example shown in v 1, I connected three of the expansion 

connectors together: 

FPGA 0 DINAR1 3 (master DNV7F2A) → FPGA 1 DINAR1 0 (slave) 



I choose these connections because it was easy to draw and not for any practical reason. 

Each of these cables carries 72 LVDS pairs, along with clocks, IDs and resets. I will state 

again: You can connect ANY DINAR1 connector to any other DINAR1 connector. Note 

that if you want to increase the interconnect between the FPGAs on a stand-alone DN- 

V7F2A, you would not use the DINAR1_CBL. Use the DINAR1_INTERCON instead. 

DDR3 Memory 

I added a DINAR1_SODM204 to the spare DINAR1 connector on each DNV7F2A. This 

card hosts a 204-pin SODIMM memory module. In the block diagram, I put an 8 GB 

DDR3 memory module in the socket. You aren’t limited to DDR3. We have several other 

SODIMMs that work fine in this slot: 

• DNSODM204_SSRAM (1.8V version) (SSRAM) 

• DNSODM204_QUADMIC (4 Mictor connectors) 

• DNSODM204_SE (Flash and Mobile SDRAM) 

• DNSODM204_USB (USB2.0 Phy) 

• DNSODM204_DDR2_FAST (DDR2) 

• DNSODM204_QDRII+ (QDRII+ SSRAM) 

• DNSODM204_DDR2_2GB (more DDR2, larger) 

• DNSODM204_MICTOR_IO (2 Mictors) 

Overview 

Figure 2 shows the final functionality of the two DNV7F2As as seen from the host.

The DNMEG_SODIMM_4FLASH 

is a daughter card intended to add 

four Hynix FLASH memories and 

a DDR2 SODIMM to any expansion 

slot on an FPGA board from 

The Dini Group. A 48-pin TSOP 

socket is used, allowing the FLASH 

memories to be programmed by an 

off-the-shelf FLASH programmer. 

The Hynix HY28UG088g is the target 

FLASH device, but connections 

are provided to allow the use of almost 

any FLASH chip in a 48-pin TSOP 

package. The interface to all FLASH 

memories is easily debugged using a 

logic analyzer cabled to two mictor 

connectors. The two mictors are connected 

to all four of the FLASH memory’s 

address, data, clock, and control 

signals. A wide variety of SODIMMs 

can be used with this daughter card. 

The DNMEG_EXT riser card is a 

passive card that allows all signals to 

pass through. It raises a daughtercard 

by 14mm and is also useful for 

connecting multiple daughtercards. 

It is compatible with all Dini Group 

FPGA boards and daughtercards with 

MEG-Array connectors.

The DNMEG_Flashsocket is a daughter 

card intended to add a single Hynix 

FLASH to any expansion slot on FPGA 

boards from The Dini Group. A 48-pin 

TSOP socket is used, allowing the 

FLASH memory to be programmed 

by an off-the-shelf FLASH programmer. 

The Hynix HY28UG088G is the 

target FLASH device. We also provide 

connections to enable use of almost 

any FLASH chip in a 48-pin TSOP 

package.

The DNMEG_V5T_PCIE allows an 

additional PCI Express interface to be 

added to any Dini Group FPGA board, 

including the DN9000K10. It connects 

to a base-board using the high-speed 

MEG-400 daughter card interface and 

can also be used stand-alone. In addition 

to two 4-lane PCIe cable interfaces, 

this card is equipped with an SFP, 

four RX/TX channels via SMAs, and 

one 4x DisplayPort Source/Sink. 

The DNMEG_AD-DA is intended to 

be a peripheral daughter card to our 

ASIC emulation products, but can be 

used stand-alone with an inexpensive 

ATX power supply. It allows designers 

two DAC channels and two ADC 

channels for Analog-to-Digital or Digital-to-Analog 

communication.

between two 400-pin MEG-Array connectors, 

adding 93 pairs of LVDS signals 

for FPGA to FPGA interconnect. 

At a lower frequency, the 93 pairs can 

be used as 186 signal ended signals. 

Linear regulators needed to drive the 

VCCIO voltages are provided, along 

with several LEDs for power presence 

and reset activity. 

The DNMEG_DVI-400 provides duallink 

input and dual-link output Digital 

Video interface (DVI) functionality.

The DNMEG_V5T enables engineers 

to utilize the Xilinx Virtex-5T FPGA 

for high-speed serial interconnect. It is 

hosted on any Dini Group ASIC Emulation 

/product that has MEG-Array 

expansion capability but also can be 

operated in stand-alone mode with a 

separate power supply. Connectors 

for the high-speed MGTs include four 

SMA channels (Rx/Tx), one 4x Infiniband 

connector, four SFP sockets, and 

four high-speed channels on a QSE 

connector.

The DNMEG_ARM_TILE is an intermediate 

host for an ARM RealView 

CoreTile. It adds the features and interfaces 

necessary to make the ARM9 

(or ARM11) processor useful for prototyping. 

The combination of the DN- 

MEG_ARM_TILE with the CoreTile 

can be mounted on an ASIC FPGA 

board from The Dini Group, enabling 

full-speed system prototyping and 

debugging of high gate count ARMbased 

systems. With a separate power 

supply, the DNMEG_ARM_TILE/ 

CoreTile combo can also be used 

standalone.

Overview

Oscillator 

The Dini Group LVDS IO Pin Multiplexing design (DNLVDS_PINMUX) is intended to ease the 

strain of prototyping an ASIC design that spans multiple FPGAs by providing a low-latency IO 

pin multiplexing design. A latency of one clock cycle is achievable end-to-end, so the multiplexing 

essentially becomes invisible to the ASIC design. IO rates are maximized to allow for the highest 

internal frequency possible. Eye detection training and real-time eye monitoring are implemented 

inside the receiver module.
