1. Overview
Introduction
This document describes the hardware features of the Altera ® Stratix ® IV 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 Stratix IV E FPGA development board provides a hardware platform for
developing and prototyping high-performance and logic-intensive designs based on
Altera Stratix IV E devices. The board provides a wide range of peripherals and
memory interfaces to facilitate the development of the Stratix IV E FPGA designs.
Two high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors are 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.
Stratix IV E devices provide a solution for applications that do not require high-speed
CDR-based transceivers, but are logic, user I/O, or memory intensive.
