Reference Manual
General User Input/Output
D20–D23 User LEDs Four user LEDs. Illuminates when driven low.
SW3 User DIP switch Quad user DIP switches. When the switch is ON, a logic 0 is selected.
S4 CPU reset push button Press to reset the FPGA logic.
S3 MAX V reset push button Press to reset the MAX V CPLD 5M2210 System Controller.
S5, S6, S7 General user push buttons Three user push buttons. Driven low when pressed.
Memory Devices
U10, U11 DDR3 x32 memory
256-Mbyte DDR3 SDRAM with a 32-bit data bus. The 32-bit data bus
consists of two x16 devices with a single address or command bus.
U14 SSRAM x36 memory
2-Mbyte standard synchronous RAM with a 32-bit data bus and 4-bit
parity.
U12, U13 Flash x32 memory
Two 128-Mbyte synchronous flash devices with 16-bit data buses for
non-volatile memory. The board supports two flash devices of 16-bit
interface each, which combine to allow for 256-Mbyte synchronous
flash with a 32-bit data bus.
Communication Ports
J1 PCI Express edge connector
Gold-plated edge fingers connector for up to ×8 signaling in Gen1 or
Gen2 mode.
J13 HSMC port A
Provides eight transceiver channels and 84 CMOS or 17 LVDS
channels per the HSMC specification.
J19 Gigabit Ethernet connector
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
J16 Character LCD
Connector that interfaces to a provided 16 character × 2 line LCD
module along with two standoffs.
J10 HDMI video port
A 19-pin HDMI connector that provides a HDMI video output of up to
1080i.
J11, J12 SDI video port
Two 75- Ω sub-miniature version B (SMB) connectors that provide a
full-duplex SDI interface through a LMH0303 cable driver and
LMH0384 cable equalizer.
Power Supply
J1 PCI Express edge connector
Interfaces to a PCI Express root port such as an appropriate PC
motherboard.
J17 DC input jack
Accepts a 14–20-V DC power supply. This input jack is not to be used
while the board is plugged into a PCI Express slot.
SW5 Power switch
Switch to power on or off the board when power is supplied from the
DC input jack.
