MAX II CPLD

MAX II CPLD
The board utilizes an Altera MAX II CPLD (U5) for the following purposes:
Power-up configuration of the FPGA from flash memory
Embedded USB-Blaster core for USB-based configuration of the FPGA
Power consumption monitoring and display
Additionally, the MAX II device is also used to help dual-footprint the FTDI USB device and Cypress USB device. Each device has a shared path between the USB device and the MAX II CPLD. This path then drives to the FPGA separately.
Figure 2–5 illustrates the MAX II device’s functional block diagram.

This section discusses FPGA, flash memory, and MAX II device programming methods supported by the Stratix III development board.
FPGA Programming Over USB
You can configure the FPGA at any time the board is powered on using the USB 2.0 interface and the Quartus II Programmer in JTAG mode.
The JTAG chain is mastered by the embedded USB-Blaster function found in the MAX II device. Only a USB cable is needed to program the Stratix III FPGA. Any device can be bypassed by using the appropriate switch on the JTAG control DIP switch.

Configuration, Status, and Setup Elements
FPGA Programming from Flash Memory
On power-up or after pressing the RESET_CONFIG or FACTORY_CONFIG push-button switch, the MAX II CPLD device’s parallel flash loader (PFL) megafunction configures the Stratix III FPGA from flash memory.
The PFL megafunction reads 16-bit data from the flash memory and converts it to passive serial format. The data is written to the Stratix III device’s dedicated
D0
configuration pins at 12 MHz.
You can source the FPGA configuration from flash memory from one of eight images. The image is selected by the PGM Config Select rotary switch, board reference SW3. The rotary switch has 16 positions, but only the first eight are used. The positions correspond to an offset in flash memory where the PFL is directed to for FPGA configuration data.
DCLK
and
1 Board reference SW1 position 4 (SW1.4), labeled
(off) to enable the configuring from flash memory feature.
Flash Programming over USB Interface
You can program the flash memory at any time the board is powered up using the USB 2.0 interface and the Quartus II Programmer’s JTAG mode.
The development kit implements the Altera PFL megafunction for flash programming. The PFL is a block of logic that is programmed into an Altera programmable logic device (FPGA or CPLD). The PFL functions as a utility for writing to a compatible flash device. The development kit ships with a pre-built PFL design called stratixIII_3sl150_dev_pfl. The PFL design is programmed onto the FPGA whenever the flash is to be written using the Quartus II software.
f For more information about:
The PFL megafunction, refer to AN 386: Using the Parallel Flash Loader with the
Quartus II Software.
Basic flash programming instructions for the development board, refer to
Appendix A: Programming the Flash Device in the Stratix III Development Kit User
Guide.

LCD Displays

The development board accommodates two LCD displays:
Character LCD
Graphics LCD
The character display is a 16-character, by 2-line LCD display. The graphics is a 128 × 64 pixel transmissive graphics LCD. The two displays have separate buses. This section describes both displays.
Character LCD
The board contains a single 14-pin 0.1 in. pitch dual-row header, used to interface to a 16-character by 2-line LCD display, manufactured by Lumex (part number LCM-S01602DSR/C). The LCD has a 14-pin receptacle that mounts directly to the board’s 14-pin header, so it can be easily removed for access to components under the display—or to use the header for debugging or other purposes.
Tab le 2– 32 summarizes the character LCD interface pins. Signal name and direction

10/100/1000 Ethernet

A Marvell 88E1111 device is used for 10/100/1000 base-T Ethernet connection. The device is an auto-negotiating Ethernet PHY with a GMII, RGMII, or SGMII interface to the FPGA. Stratix III devices can communicate with LVDS interfaces at up to
1.25 Gbps, which is well above the 1.0 Gbps SGMII requirement. The MAC function must be provided in the FPGA for typical networking applications. The Marvell PHY uses 2.5-V and 1.1-V power rails and requires a 25-MHz reference clock driven from a dedicated oscillator. It interfaces to a HALO HFJ11-1G02E model RJ-45 with internal magnetics that can be used for driving copper lines with Ethernet traffic.

High-Speed Mezzanine Cards

The board contains two HSMC interfaces called Port A and Port B. These HSMC interfaces support both single-ended and differential signaling. The connector part number is Samtec ASP-122953-01. The HSMC interface also allows for JTAG, SMBus, clock outputs and inputs, as well as power for compatible HSMCs.
The HSMC is an Altera-developed specification, which allows users to expand the functionality of the development board through the addition of daughter cards (HSMCs).

Reference Manual
2–42 Chapter 2: Board Components
Components and Interfaces
f For more information about the HSMC specification such as signaling standards,
signal integrity, compatible connectors, and mechanical information, visit
www.altera.com.
The HSMC connector has 172 total pins, including 120 signal pins, 39 power pins, and 13 ground pins. The ground pins are located between the two rows of signal and power pins, acting as both shield and reference. The HSMC host connector is based on the 0.5 mm-pitch QSH/QTH family of high-speed, board-to-board connectors from Samtec. There are three banks in this connector. Bank 1 has every third pin removed as it is done in the QSH-DP/QTH-DP series. Banks 2 and 3 have all of the pins populated as it is done in the QSH/QTH series.
The Stratix III development board does not use bank 1 transceiver signals intended for clock-data-recover (CDR) applications such as PCI Express and Rapid I/O
©.
These 32 pins are left floating. Banks 2 and 3 are fully supported and can be used in two different configurations, as shown in Figure 2–16.

The HSMC interface has programmable bi-directional I/O pins that can be used as
2.5-V LVCMOS, which is 3.3-V LVTTL-compatible. These pins can also be used as various differential I/O standards including, but not limited to LVDS, mini-LVDS, and RSDS with up to 17-channels full-duplex.
1 As noted in the HSMC specification, LVDS and single-ended I/O standards are only
guaranteed to function when mixed according to either the generic single-ended pin-out or the generic differential pin-out.
For the Stratix III FPGA Development Kit, there is only one clock per HSMC interface that can drive a PLL. If you want to drive a PLL from the HSMC interface make sure you use either
HSMA_CLK_P2
for Port A or
HSMB_CLK_P2
for Port B.
Section 2.2.4 of the HSMC Specification recommends that a dedicated clock input be used for the single-ended clock (CMOS CLK) on pin 40 of the HSMC connector. The Stratix III board uses a regular input pin due to lack of input clock resources. This means that clocks driven from the HSMC cannot be routed to a PLL. This limitation is true for both HSMC Port A and HSMC Port B.
Stratix III 3SL150 Development Board May 2013 Altera Corporation Reference Manual
Chapter 2: Board Components 2–43
Components and Interfaces
Section 2.2.5 of the HSMC Specification recommends that dedicated clock inputs are used for the differential LVDS clocks (LVDS CLK/CMOS) on pin pairs (96, 98) and (156, 158) of the HSMC connector. The specification makes
CLKIN2p/n
the priority as such the Stratix III board has a standard LVDS input pair due to lack of input clock resources. This means that the clock driven into
CLKIN1p/n
from the HSMC cannot be
routed to a PLL. This limitation is true for both HSMC Port A and HSMC Port B.
If you must use another clock, you can drive the clock to the SMA output of the board, then attach a cable from the SMA output to the SMA input. In this case, assign the Stratix III pin that corresponds to the SMA input as your clock.

On-Board Memory

DDR2 SDRAM DIMM

The board has 1 GByte DDR2 SDRAM DIMM memory interface with a 72-bit data width on the vertical I/O banks, which is typically used as a 64-bit interface with the additional 8 bits serving as error correction coding (ECC) bits for each of the 8-byte lanes. The target frequency is 400 MHz (800 Mbps) with potential operation of up to 533 MHz (1,066 Mbps). The theoretical bandwidth of the entire DDR2 interface is 6,388 Mbps plus ECC, or 7,187 Mbps raw throughput.
The data interface to the FPGA fabric runs at either one-half or one-quarter the physical layer data rate when using the Altera DDR2 MegaCore equates to a doubling or quadrupling of the physical data bus width (144 bits or 288 bits, respectively). For example, a 72-bit interface with a 400-MHz external clock speed can have a 400-MHz 144-bit internal bus or a 200-MHz 288-bit interface.
Tab le 2– 45 lists the DDR2 DIMM interface signals. Signal names and type are relative
to the Stratix III device regarding the I/O setting and direction. JEDEC bus widths are used.

QDRII+ SRAM

The board uses a burst-of-4 QDRII memory device for high-speed, low-latency memory access. The interface provides addressing for a 72-Mbit device. The actual device used may be 18, 36, or 72 Mbits. Because the Stratix III device supports 18 DQ/DQS group, the board uses a ×18 QDRII or QDRII+ SRAM device. QDRII+ SRAM is needed to support a QDRII rate that is greater than 300 MHz.
QDRII has separate read and write data ports with DDR interfaces operating up to 300 MHz. QDRII+ has separate read and write data ports with DDR interfaces operating up to 350 MHz. Burst-of-2 devices have a DDR address bus allowing for different read and write addresses on every clock (two data words per clock). Burst-of-4 devices have higher data rates due to the longer sequential addressing.

On-Board Memory
For QDRII devices, the interface supports 10.8 Gbps of throughput at 300 MHz (600 Mbps × 18 pins). The QDRII bandwidth doubles to 21.6 Gbps when considering combined read and write bandwidth. For QDRII+ devices, the interface supports
12.6 Gbps of throughput at 350 MHz (700 Mbps × 18 pins). The QDRII+ bandwidth doubles to 25.2 Gbps when considering combined read and write bandwidth.

Cypress Semiconductor

P-SRAM

The board features 8 MBytes of P-SRAM memory with a 32-bit data bus. The devices use 1.8-V CMOS signaling and are optimized for low cost and power.
The 32-bit interface comprises two ×16 devices. The Samsung part features a maximum frequency of 104 MHz (104 Mbps). The theoretical bandwidth of the entire interface is 416 Mbps.
The P-SRAM devices are part of a shared bus with connectivity to the MAX II CPLD as well as the flash memory, which is called the FSM bus. All three devices use 1.8-V CMOS signaling. Altera recommends using the 5-Ω OCT setting on the FPGA and the one-half drive setting on the SRAM.
Tab le 2– 52 lists the P-SRAM interface signal name, description, and signal type.

Flash Memory

A 512-Mbit Intel P30 flash memory device is used to store configuration files for the FPGA as well as any other necessary data for the development board operation. The target device is a PC48F4400P0VB00 in a BGA package and it supports the common flash interface (CFI) commands. The flash, SSRAM, and the MAX II CPLD all support
1.8-V I/O, and all three devices share a common address and data bus. The default addressing mode is a 16-bit word mode. Byte mode requires driving

Power Supply

Power Supply
The board’s power is provided through an IBM laptop style DC power input. The input voltage must be in the range of 14 V to 20 V. The DC voltage is then stepped down to the various power rails used by the components on the board and installed into the HSMC connectors.
An on-board, multi-channel A/D converter measures both voltage and current for several specific board rails. The power utilization is displayed on either the graphics display or the dedicated 7-segment display.

Power Distribution System

Figure 2–20 shows the power distribution system, which uses current power rails. The
currents shown reflect the regulator inefficiencies and regulator sharing.

Power Measurement

Ten power supply rails have on-board voltage and current-sense capabilities. These devices and rails are split from the primary supply plane by a low-value sense resistor for the A/D converter to measure voltage and current.
Tab le 2– 59 shows the targeted rails where Measured Net Name column shows the name
of the rail being measured, and the devices attached to that are listed under Power Pin Name and Description columns. If no subnet is named, then the power is the total output power for that voltage.

Power Supply
This capability is realized using a 32-channel analog multiplexer to a 2-channel differential A/D converter, with a digital data bus connected to the MAX II CPLD. The CPLD contains a logic design that continually monitors the rails and displays the current in mA on the dedicated four-digit, 7-segment display or graphics display. Because only a single rail can be displayed at any time on the 7-segment display, an octal rotary switch is used to select which rail is currently being displayed. The sense resistor is large enough that it can be easily probed to confirm the display results. To see all of the currents at the same time, you can use the graphics display. Figure 2–21 illustrates the circuit.

Security Key and Battery Backup

Stratix III devices are protected against copying, reverse engineering, and tampering using configuration bit-stream encryption. Specifically, the Stratix III devices use an advanced encryption standard (AES) algorithm with a 256-bit user-generated key. The key is stored on the Stratix III device and is used to decrypt the incoming configuration data bit-stream before configuration and initialization can begin.
This section discusses the following two methods of storing Stratix III device’s 256-bit encryption key:
Vo la t il e
Non-volatile
In the volatile scheme, the 256-bit key itself can be reprogrammed as needed. In this case, a 2.5-V battery is required to power the V within the Stratix III device when the system is powered off.
In the non-volatile scheme, the 256-bit key is programmed once into the Stratix III device and cannot be changed. The advantage of the non-volatile scheme is that a battery is not required to power the V

provides support for both volatile and non-volatile keys. A battery socket is also provided to allow battery replacement as needed. Additionally, the V input has a jumper to allow the battery is removed for supporting the non-volatile key mode.
