Altera Cyclone V E FPGA Development Board - Manual (Page 5)

March 2013 Altera Corporation Cyclone V E FPGA Development Board
Reference Manual
1. Overview
This document describes the hardware features of the Cyclone ® V E FPGA
development board, including the detailed pin-out and component reference
information required to create custom FPGA designs that interface with all
components of the board.
General Description
The Cyclone V E FPGA development board provides a hardware platform for
developing and prototyping low-power, high-performance, and logic-intensive
designs using Altera’s Cyclone V E FPGA. The board provides a wide range of
peripherals and memory interfaces to facilitate the development of Cyclone V E
FPGA designs.
One high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connector is available to add additional
functionality via a variety of HSMCs available from Altera
® and various partners.
f To see a list of the latest HSMCs available or to download a copy of the HSMC
specification, refer to the
Development Board Daughtercards page of the Altera
website.
Design advancements and innovations, such as partial reconfiguration, ensure that
designs implemented in the Cyclone V E FPGAs operate faster, with lower power,
and have a faster time to market than previous FPGA families.
