General Information
1. Description
The FPGA Board connects to your PC via a Terasic USB
Blaser which is then connected via a standard USB cable
to provide you with a low cost FPGA development board
and programmer which is both simple to setup and
use. The board is fully compatible with a wide range of
E-blocks which makes it an extremely exible platform
for learning and developing projects.
The FPGA Board allows in-circuit programming of
an ALTERA® FPGA Cyclone IV device. This board is
used together with Altera’s free and comprehensive
downloadable programming software, Quartus II. The
board can be programmed using various programming
techniques such as Schematic Entry, Block Diagram
and Hardware Description Languages (HDLs such as
AHDL, VHDL and Verilog). It provides ‘clean’ access to all
available I/O lines on the relevant FPGA device.
Further information on E-blocks is available in a separate
document entitled Introduction to E-blocks.doc.

Testing This Product
1. Installing Quartus II
The Quartus II software can be downloaded from Altera.
com. You will need to sign up for an account before you
can download and install the software.
2. Test Procedure
The following instructions explain the steps to test and
use your FPGA Board. The instructions assume that
Quartus II software is installed and functional. It also
assumes that the test routine EB089_Test.jic le has been
copied to a suitable place on your computer.
Follow these instructions to test the FPGA Board
1) Connect USB blaster to PC using USB cable and
install the device driver from the “C:\Altera” folder.
2) Connect USB blaster to EB089 board ensuring
notch on the cable matches the notch on the board.
3) Ensure power is supplied to the FPGA Board
using a DC supply set to 6-9V.
4) Insert EB-004 LED board into any Port of the
CPLD Board
5) Open Quartus II Web Edition
6) Launch the programming tool using the “Tools
-> Programmer” menu.
7) Click “Hardware Setup”
8) Select USB blaster and then click close.
9) Click “Add File” button
10) Load the “EB089_Text.jic” le
11) Ensure the Program/Congure checkbox is
ticked
12) Click the “Start” button.
13) When programming is complete press the reset
button on the EB089 board.
14) Using the EB004 board test each of the EB089
ports and ensure every LED lights
This should satisfy that the FPGA Board is fully functional!

Circuit Description
The FPGA Board solution is made up of two parts: A circuit
board that allows slave FPGA devices to be programmed,
and the program to be executed ‘seamlessly’, and the
Windows based programming utility Quartus II Web
Edition.
1. Power Supply
The board can be powered from a 9V supply. The
regulation circuitry will withstand unregulated 12V as a
maximum input voltage and 6V as a minimum. If you
are using a DC power supply then you should use a 7.5
or 9V setting. Power can be connected using the 2.1mm
power jack or the screw terminal connectors J1, J2. The
two “+V OUT” screw terminals are supplied for powering
other E-blocks™, supplying approximately +3V3. LED D1
will indicate that power is connected to the board and
that the voltage regulation circuitry is fully functional.
Please note connector J4 is directly connected to the J1
screw terminal pin 1 labeled VPWR, therefore any voltage
input to J4 will also be available direct from pin 1 of J1.
Note: Remember that other E-blocks will have to receive
+3V3 by placing a connecting wire from the “+V” screw
terminal of the Multiprogrammer to the “+V” screw
terminal of each E-Block that requires a voltage.
2. The FPGA
The FPGA that comes with this board is an 144-pin Altera®
Cyclone IV series device, specically the EP4CE10E22.
The device has 10320 Macrocells available and 414Kb of
Ram. This CPLD board utilizes 40 I/O pins, thus providing
plenty of resources to set up both simple and complex
projects.
3. I / O Ports
There are 40 dedicated I/O lines fed out to 5 D-type
sockets grouped in ports, each port having 8 I/O lines.
The pin-out of these ports can be found below
5. Port connections
The following table shows the pin connections on the
9-way D-type ports. This should be used for correctly
setting the Pin location in the Quartus software.

Note: All I/O available are clean signals – this means there
is no protection. The user must be aware of this when
selecting the functionality of the pins. Avoid connecting
+V directly to an I/O pin or two outputs pins directly
together – this can damage the FPGA device.
4. USB Blaster
The EB089 FPGA Board makes use of a USB blaster from
Terasic to provide the programming functionality. This
ensures for an easy setup on all computers and allows
other Altera devices to be reprogrammed if required.
