This section describes the HSTC/HSMC connector on the THDB-HTG board There are two options of high speed connector on the THDB-HTG board. One is a 180-pin female HSTC connector for HSTC-interfaced host board such as Altera DE3 board and Terasic PCI board. The other one is a 180-pin male connector for Altera HSMC-interfaced host board.
This section describes the expansion prototype connectors on the THDB-HTG board. The THDB-HTG board has three expansion prototype connectors (J2, J3, and J4) connected to the HSTC/HSMC connector directly. Each of the connectors has 36 prototyping I/Os and 3.3/5 volts power supply from the HSTC/HSMC interface and on-board regulator.

Board Components Prototyping Area The THDB-HTG board provides users a prototyping area for signal measurement or debug. These prototyping points are connected to the HSTC/HSMC connector directly. Detailed I/O maps for HSTC and HSMC version are provided to help users locate the corresponding prototyping points, as shown in Figure 3.4 and Figures 3.5, respectively.
JTAG signal from host board to form a close loop of JTAG chain. For example, if users connect a THDB-HTG with Altera DE3 board, this switch must be turned on, or the Stratix III FPGA device will not be detected because the JTGA chain is not a close loop on DE3 board.

This section describes how to use the THDB-HTG board with a Cyclone III Starter Board. Figure 4.1 illustrates how the THDB-HTG board is connected to the Cyclone III starter board. Users need to pay extra attention to the following two points: Observe the orientation of the HSMC connector when connecting the THDB-HTG to the Cyclone III Starter Board.
1-13 This section describes how to use the THDB-HTG board with Altera DE3 Board. Figure 4.2 illustrates how the THDB-HTG board is connected to the Altera DE3 board. Users need to pay extra attention to the following three points: THDB-HTG board can be connected to any of the HSTC connectors J1, J3, J5, and J7 on the DE3 board.
