LUPO (Logic Unit for Programmable Operation)

General

LUPO is user programmable FPGA based CAMAC/VME module.

Firmware Versions (read from BaseAddress+0x70)

VME Lupo
0x0000 : may be Time Stamp Rev. 1.1
0x2112 : I/O Register Rev1.2 
0x2216 : Time Stamp Rev.1.6 
0x2912 : DAQ Master Rev 1.2
0x2913 : DAQ Master Rev 1.3 (aux scaler added for HIMAC exp.)

Time Stamp

Manual is here lupo_timestamp_rev1.2e.pdf.

The functions of LUPO Time Stamp Module are:

• Store time information according to input trigger
• Synchronize external 25MHz NIM clock
• Create 100MHz clock inside of FPGA from internal/external clock
• 1ch Output 25MHz Internal clock
• 1ch Output 25MHz External clock (through out of the external clock)
• 2ch Output Register (Pulse and Level)
• Interrupt Register

At RIBF

You have to decide one clock master module, and all LUPO Time Stamp Modules must synchronize this master clock. In addition to the master clock, Time Stamp Modules require Time Reset signal which is to reset the clock counter to zero.

FPGA Training

These documents are to develop your own circuits in LUPO and GTO. Lectures are common issues to develop FPGA circuits.

Memo

VLUPO TimeStamp 3.0 (dual timestamp)

Only use internal clock. To synchronize other LUPOs, this LUPO with TimeStamp 3.0 firmware must be the clock master. In3 is for clearing TS2 counter. If In3 is not applied, TS1 and TS2 will have the same value.

In0 : Interrupt Input
In1 : Trigger Input
In2 : TimeStamp Reset (both TS1 and TS2)
In3 : Only TS2 Reset

Out0 : Output Register
Out1 : Output Register
Out2 : 25MHz Clock (for other LUPO)
Out3 : Trigger through
