Banker is a versatile EEM module with 128 GPIOs managed by ICE40HX8K-CT256 FPGA allowing complete customization. Every channel can be configured either as 3.3 V or 5 V voltage level. The former one allows to drive 50R load. The FPGA configuration may be changed using on-board FLASH via I2C or using local SPI connector.
There are many interfaces allowable:
- 8 x 8 channel IDC connectors
- 2 x 32 channael VHDCI connectors
- 2 downstream EEM connectors for daisy-chain connections of several Banker modules.
The flexibility allows to cover variety of applications listed here.
The 12 V power supply may be provided via DC Jack or Molex connector.
Main features
- 128 channel GPIO module
- different communication interfaces
- daisy-chain connection available
- SPI Flash for FPGA configuration
- 3.3 V or 5 V output levels
Software support
- Flashing via I2C implemented

Applications
- Controlling many TTL channels with single EEM slot
- Simple remote LVDS IO with VHDCI cable
- A basic gateware approach would implement each port of eight signals as a group of SPI addressable registers (direction, input, output, clear output, set output). Maybe with double buffering and some latching operation that synchronizes changes across banks
- Programmable logic router for photon coincidence detection and large matrix photon correlation, higher order correlator
- Simple photon counter, TDC, start-stop counter, high-res TDC with any of the available techniques (wave union etc)
- Large array SPI router/multiplexer. 16 SPI independent buses with 5 chip selects each. Or 32 independent SPI buses.
- Interlock logic router, supervisor, watchdog
