Reference Manual
U8 QDRII+ memory
9-MB QDRII+ SRAM with a 36-bit data bus. The device has a separate
36-bit read and 36-bit write port with DDR signalling at up to 400 MHz.
U7, U11, U18,
U21, U28
DDR3A memory
DDR3 SDRAM interface on FPGA 1. This 1152-MB DDR3 x72-bit data
bus consists of four x16 devices and one x8 device with a single
address or command bus.
U6, U12, U19,
U22
DDR3B/C memory
DDR3 SDRAM interface on FPGA 2. There are two interface options:
■ Option 1: 512-MB interface with a 32-bit data bus. This DDR3
x32-bit data bus consists of two x16 devices with a single shared
address.
■ Option 2: 1024-MB interface with a 64-bit data bus. This DDR3
x64-bit data bus consists of four x16 devices with a single shared
address.
Communication Ports
J30 PCI Express edge connector
Gold-plated edge fingers connector for up to ×8 signaling in Gen1 and
x4 Gen2 modes.
J2 HSMC port A
Provides four transceiver channels and 80 CMOS or 17 LVDS channels
per the HSMC specification.
J3 HSMC port B
Provides four transceiver channels and 80 CMOS or 17 LVDS channels
per the HSMC specification.
J7 Mini-USB type-AB connector
USB interface for programming the FPGA through on-board
USB-Blaster II JTAG via a type-AB Mini-USB cable.
J8 Gigabit Ethernet
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.
Display Ports
J29 Character LCD connector
Connector which interfaces to the provided 16 character × 2 line LCD
module along with two standoffs at MTH7 and MTH8.
Power Supply
J6 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.
J4 ATX power connector PCI Express auxiliary power source option.
J30 PCI Express edge connector
Interfaces to a PCI Express root port such as an appropriate PC
motherboard.
SW1 Power switch
Switch to power on or off the board when power is supplied from the
DC input jack.
