General Description This manual provides information about the hardware features of the serial digital interface (SDI) high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC). You can use the SDI HSMC to design and implement SDI and Audio Engineering Society (AES) systems based on transceiver-supported host boards with HSMC interfaces. Altera ®...

Static Discharge Precaution: Without proper anti-static handling, the board can be damaged. Therefore, use anti-static handling precautions when touching the board. The SDI HSMC must be stored between –40° C and 100° C. The recommended operating temperature is between 0° C and 55° C.

Chapter 2: Board Components 2–3 Board Overview Table 2–1 describes the components and lists their corresponding board references. Table 2–1. SDI HSMC Components (Part 1 of 2) Board Reference Name Description Devices U1, U2 SDI cable tri-speed driver Input signal to this driver is from the HSMC high-speed serializer/deserializer (SERDES) section.
Components and Interfaces HSMC connector SDI HSMC’s main interface to the host board. The host must support 3-Gbps interfacing on transceiver channels 0 and 1 (first 2 channels) which are located at pins 25 – 32. The control, clock, and AES signals are located in the general CMOS signal area.
2–5 Configuration, Status, and Setup Elements Although there is only one clock generator PLL on the SDI HSMC, the board supports two asynchronous clock systems when the host board supports two reference clock input signals. You can use either a separate reference clock or an external reference as input to the host board.

2–6). The output frequency can be 148.5 MHz, 74.25 MHz, 54 MHz, or 36 MHz. The output frequency is set to 148.5 MHz for the Altera reference design and most applications. Table 2–5 lists the first frequency translation stage of the SDI multi-frequency VCXO femto clock video PLL.
100-MHz oscillator, you can divide the frequency by 6,400 to 15.625 kHz and drive that frequency to the clock generator to be multiplied to 148.5 MHz. Altera recommends locking the VCXO PLL to a stable oscillator which is located on the host board when the daughtercard is sourcing data or when the VCXO PLL is not locked onto a received signal or reference.
HSMC interface to the clock generator on the SDI HSMC. The clock output from the host is cleaned (jitter), multiplied to 148.5 MHz, and driven back to the host board to be used as the SERDES reference clock.

LED. For the TX channel circuit diagram, refer to the schematic page entitled SDI Cable Driver on page 5 of Altera schematic 150-0320610-B1. In Altera development kits that contain the SDI HSMC, this schematic resides in the <install dir>\board_design_files directory.
Components and Interfaces This section describes the SDI HSMC interface. The SDI HSMC contains an Altera standard HSMC connector to connect to a host board. All the other connector interfaces on the SDI HSMC are connected to the HSMC connector.
Samtec ASP-122952-01 www.samtec.com Power Supply The host board provides 12-V DC and 3.3-V DC power to the SDI HSMC through the HSMC connector. These power supplies are either used directly or regulated by an on-board regulator as required. Figure 2–14 shows the power distribution system of the SDI HSMC.
