    Reference Designs and Templates for Digilent Boards


    Publish Date: Aug 28, 2014

    Overview
    These reference designs and templates provide Multisim and Ultiboard files to define and customize Digilent boards and
    peripheral modules.

    Table of Contents
    1. Introduction
    2. Requirements
    3. chipKIT Basic I/O Shield
    4. Peripheral Modules (Pmods)
    5. Cmod S6 FPGA Board Template

    1. Introduction
    Users of Digilent boards and peripheral modules must sometimes create custom circuitry including breakout boards, daughter
    boards and user-defined modules in order to meet project requirements.
    Multisim and Ultiboard provide a complete solution for the development of such custom PCB boards and, to speed up the
    design process, NI engineers created reference designs and templates of some of the most popular Digilent devices.
    Please note that although these files are intended to be as accurate as possible and have been checked by Applications
    Engineers at National Instruments, it is recommended to closely check the documentation provided with the hardware
    purchase. It is always suggested that you reference materials associated with the hardware to verify correct pin assignments
    and to check correct layout guidelines and pin spacing.

    2. Requirements

    Software
    You will require Circuit Design Suite (Multisim and Ultiboard) version 13.0 (or later) to be able to utilize the attached resources.

    Component Library
    This library adds a number of custom symbols and footprints to your Multisim User Database so that you can use them with
    the appropriate reference design or template.

    Click here to download the component library (http://ftp.ni.com/pub/gdc/epd/db.zip)

    To install the component library:


    Download and unzip the database file.
    Launch Multisim.
    Select ToolsDatabaseMerge database.
    Select your User Database as the Target database.
    Click on Select a Component Database Name button
    Browse to the UsrComp_S.usr database file, and click on Open.
    Click on the Start button.
    Select the Auto-Rename option.
    Click on OK.
    Once status is "Done" click on the Close button.

    3. chipKIT Basic I/O Shield


    The Digilent chipKIT Basic I/O shield (http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,892,936&Prod=CHIPKIT-
    BASIC-IO-SHIELD) is an input/output expansion board designed for use with chipKIT microcontroller boards.

    5. Cmod S6 FPGA Board Template


    The Digilent Cmod S6 (http://www.digilentinc.com/Products/Detail.cfm?NavPath=2,400,1227&Prod=CMOD-S6) is a FPGA
    board built around a Xilinx Spartan 6 LX4. The board features 48 FPGA GPIO signals that can be accessed via DIP pins. The
    Cmod S6 template provides a starting point for the development of daughter boards.
