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
1Board 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.

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.

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

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.
1As 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 BoardMay 2013 Altera Corporation
Reference Manual
Chapter 2: Board Components2–43
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.

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.

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.

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

input.
By providing a 2.5-V coin battery connected to the V
