Introduction Introduction The THDB-HTG board is designed to convert a High-Speed Terasic connector (HSTC) or a High-Speed Mezzanine connector (HSMC) I/Os to three 40-pin expansion prototype connectors, which are compatible with Altera DE2/DE1 expansion headers. Users can connect up to three Altera DE2/DE1 boards (or associated daughter cards) onto a HSTC/HSMC-interfaced host board via a THDB-HTG board.
Architecture Architecture This chapter describes the architecture of the THDB-HTG board, including block diagram and components. Layout and Componets Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2, and Figure 2.3 depict the layout of the board and indicate the locations of the connectors and key components. Expansion Expansion Expansion...

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. All other interfaces on the THDB-HTG board are connected to the HSTC/HSMC connector.
Board Components Expansion Prototype Connectors 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 Cyclone III Starter Board HSMC Connector The naming convention used to assign the pin names for the HSMC connector is different for the Cyclone III Starter Board and the standard HSMC connector. Figure 3.4 shows the pin-outs of the expansion prototype connectors for Cyclone III Starter board HSMC version.
Board Components Figure 3.6 The JTAG Switch in “ON” position Power ON Control Pin 1-10 Pin 121 of the HSTC connector is defined as a “Power ON” control signal. This signal allows host board to turn on/off the power supply on THDB-HTG board. When the Power ON signal is in logic low level, the 3.3V and 5V on the expansion header will not supply any power.
Board Components Power Supply 1-12 This section describes the power supply on the THDB-HTG board. The power distribution on the THDB-HTG board is shown in Figure 3.7.

Demonstration Demonstration This chapter illustrates how to use the THDB-HTG board to a HSMC-interfaced host board. Connecting THDB-HTG Board to a Cyclone III Starter Board 1-13 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.
Demonstration Connecting THDB-HTG Board to Altera DE3 Board 1-14 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.
