Reference Manual
J3, J6
Clock input SMA connectors
Drive LVPECL-compatible clock inputs into the clock multiplexer
buffer.
J4, J7
Clock output SMA connectors
Drives out 2.5-V CMOS clock output from the clock buffer (U3).
J14
SMA connector
SMA to or from the FPGA, which can be an I/O or a clock output.
General User Input/Output
D8–D11,
D15–D18
User LEDs
Eight user LEDs. Illuminates when driven low.
SW1
User DIP switch
Quad user DIP switches. When the switch is ON, a logic 0 is selected.
S4
CPU reset push button
Reset the FPGA logic.
S7
MAX V reset push button
Reset the MAX V CPLD 5M2210 System Controller.
S1–S3
General user push buttons
Three user push buttons. Driven low when pressed.
Memory Devices
U26, U27, U28
DDR3 x40 memory
Three 128-MB DDR3A SDRAM with ECC, each with a 16-bit data bus
for a hard memory controller.
U8, U15, U22,
U30
DDR3 x64 memory
Four 128-MB DDR3B SDRAM, each with a 16-bit data bus for a soft
memory controller.
U20
Flash x16 memory
1-Gb synchronous flash devices with a 16-bit data bus for non-volatile
memory.
Communication Ports
J16
PCI Express edge connector
Gold-plated edge fingers connector for up to ×4 signaling in Gen1
mode.
J1, J2
HSMC port
Two ports, one with four transceiver channels and 84 CMOS or 17
LVDS channels as per the HSMC specification, and one with CMOS I/O
assignments and DQS/DQx32 assignments for future use.
J9
Gigabit Ethernet port
RJ-45 connector which provides a 10/100/1000 Ethernet connection
via a Marvell 88E1111 PHY and the FPGA-based Altera Triple Speed
Ethernet MegaCore function in RGMII mode.
Video and Display Ports
J10
Character LCD
Connector that interfaces to a provided 16 character × 2 line LCD
module along with four standoffs.
J11, J12
SDI video port
Two 75-
sub-miniature version B (SMB) connectors that provide a
full-duplex SDI interface through a LMH0303 cable driver and
LMH0384 cable equalizer. By default, this is not an active interface but
is only available when you switch the resistor placement. After making
this resistor change, the HSMC port A transceiver channel 3 is no
longer available.
Power Supply
J16
PCI Express edge connector
Interfaces to a PCI Express root port such as an appropriate PC
motherboard.
J8
DC input jack
Accepts a 19-V DC power supply. Do not use this input jack while the
board is plugged into a PCI Express slot.
