Using the Board
When power is applied to the board and SW9 is in the "ON" position, the
Power-on LED (LED7) illuminates. At that time, the MAX device (U10)
programs the Stratix II device (U18) from one of 4 flash memory spaces
reserved for configuration information. If configuration is successful, the
CONF_DONE LED (LED5) illuminates.
1
If the Stratix II device is programmed with a design in one of the
user configuration memory spaces or using the JTAG connector
(J21), both the CONF_DONE LED (LED5) and the USER LED
(LED1) illuminate. For more information, refer to
“Configuration-Status LEDs” on page 18.
To configure the board with a new design, the designer should perform
the following steps, explained in detail in this section.
1.
Apply power to the board.
2.
Re-configure the Stratix II device.
Apply Power
Apply power to the board by connecting the 16-V DC power supply
adapter, provided in the DSP Development Kit, Stratix II edition, to the
on-board power adapter connector (J22), and switching SW9 to the ON
position. All of the board components draw power either directly from
this 16-V supply or from the 3.3-V, 1.2-V, and 5-V regulators that are
powered by the 16-V supply.
1
The 3.3-V supply provides VCCIO to the Stratix II device and all
LVTTL board components. The 1.2-V supply provides VCCINT to
the Stratix II device.
When power is applied to the board, the Power On LED (LED7)
illuminates.

Configuration
Altera Corporation
Refer to Quartus II Help for instructions on how to use the USB Blaster
cable.
The designer must reconfigure the Stratix II device each time power is
applied to the Stratix II DSP development board. For designers who want
to power up the board and have a design immediately present in the
Stratix II device, the board has a non-volatile configuration scheme. This
scheme consists of a configuration controller (U10), which is an Altera
EPM7256 PLD, and flash memory. The configuration controller device is
non-volatile (i.e., it does not lose its configuration data when the board is
powered down) and it comes factory-programmed with logic that
configures the Stratix II EP2S60F1020C4 device (U18) from data stored in
flash (U17) on power-up. Upon power-up, the configuration controller
begins reading data from the flash memory. The flash memory, Stratix II
device, and configuration controller are connected so that data from the
flash configures the Stratix II device in fast passive-parallel mode.

Configuration Data
The Quartus II software can produce Hexadecimal (Intel format) Output
(.hexout) files suitable for download and storage in the flash memory as
configuration data. The designer can create a HEXOUT file using the
Quartus II software in one of the following ways:
■
■
Create a HEXOUT file at the end of compilation
Convert a SRAM Object File (.sof) to a HEXOUT file.
Write a HEXOUT file at Compilation
To set up a project so that the Quartus II software writes a HEXOUT file
at the end of compilation, perform the following steps:
1.
Choose Settings (Assignments menu).
2.
Click Device under Compiler Settings.
3.
Click Device and Pin Options.
4.
Click the Programming Files tab.
5.
Turn on the Hexadecimal (Intel-Format) Output File (.hexout)
option. With this option turned on, the Quartus II software
generates a .hexout at the end of a successful compilation.
Convert a SOF to a HEXOUT File
The designer can convert a SOF to a HEXOUT file by performing the
following steps in the Quartus II software:
8
Preliminary
1.
Choose Convert Programming Files (File menu).
2.
Under Output programming file, choose Hexadecimal (IntelFormat) Output File for SRAM (.hexout) from the Programming
file type list box.
3.
Specify an output file name in the File name box. The default is
output_file.hexout.
4.
Click SOF Data under Input files to convert.
5.
Click Add File.
6.
Browse to the SOF to convert and click OK. The Quartus II software
converts the file and saves the output file to the specified directory.
Altera Corporation
Non-Volatile Configuration
1
Intel-format HEXOUT files contain data that is not actually
written to the flash memory. The Write2Flash executable file
(provided in the <installation directory>/utilities/
Flash_Programmer directory) parses the HEXOUT file and
creates a file with the extension .hexout.flash that contains the
data to be written to flash memory. The designer can then send
this file serially to the board via an RS-232 cable and write it to
flash memory by the factory configuration as described in the
next section.
Factory & User Configurations
The configuration controller can manage four separate Stratix II device
configurations as HEXOUT data stored in flash memory: three user
designs and a factory design. On power-up, the configuration controller
reads one of the four (user or factory) designs from the flash memory and
programs the Stratix II device accordingly. The user can select which
design the Stratix II device is programmed with by setting the DIP
switches on SW2.
DIP switches 1 through 3 on SW2 select one of four possible Stratix II
configuration images upon power-up. When DIP switch 4 is in the
“OPEN” position the configuration controller is enabled. If DIP switch 4
is in the “OPEN” position and there are no valid user-defined images, the
Stratix II device is programmed with the factory configuration. Table 2
shows the DIP switch combinations used to select the available images.
See “Non-Volatile Configuration” on page 7 for more details.

An alternative method of configuring the device with the
factory design is to press push-button switch SW3.

Preliminary
Stratix II EP2S60 DSP Development Board Data Sheet
The Factory Design
When the Stratix II device is programmed with the factory design, LEDs
D5 through D8 behave as a binary counter that counts down to zero. This
is a power-up indication that the board is functional and the device was
successfully programmed with the factory design.
Along with the LED counter, the factory design includes two blocks of IP
generated by the Altera NCO Compiler. One of these oscillators is
running at 10 times the frequency of the other, but both of them have the
same amplitude, covering 13 bits of dynamic range. Two sine waves
generated by these blocks are added together and the output is converted
from a 2's complement representation into unsigned integer format. This
combined sine wave signal of 14-bits dynamic range is sent to a 14-bit
D/A converter.
When the analog output of the D/A converter is connected, via the
included SMA cable, with the analog input of one of the 12-bit A/D
converters, the A/D converter’s digital output is looped back to the
Stratix II device. The design converts this loopback input from 2's
complement format to unsigned integer format. The converted loopback
data is captured by an instance of the SignalTap® II logic analyzer in the
design for display and analysis.

Configuration-Status LEDs
The configuration controller is connected to four status LEDs that show
the configuration status of the board at a glance. You can tell which
configuration, if any, was loaded into the FPGA at power-on by looking
at the LEDs. If a new configuration is downloaded into the Stratix II
device via the JTAG interface, then the USER LED (LED1) remains
illuminated. The rest of the configuration-status LEDs turn off if the
unused pins are configured as inputs, tri-stated for the Stratix II device.
Table 8 shows the behavior of the configuration-status LEDs.

A/D Converters
The Stratix II EP2S60 DSP development board has two 12-bit A/D
converters that produce samples at a maximum rate of 125 mega-samples
per second (MSPS). The A/D subsystem of the board has the following
features:
■
■
■
1
The data output format from each A/D converter to the Stratix II
device is in two’s complement format.
The circuit has a wideband, AC-coupled, differential input useful for
IF sampling. The analog inputs are transformer-coupled to the A/D
converter in order to create a balanced input. To maximize
performance, two transformers are used in series. The Analog
Devices data sheet for the AD9433 device describes the detailed
operation of this circuit.
Any required anti-aliasing filtering can be installed externally. If
needed, users can purchase in-line SMA filters from a variety of
manufacturers, such as Mini-Circuits (www.minicircuits.com).
The transformer-coupled AC circuit has a lower 3-dB frequency,
of approximately 1 MHz.
The clock signal that drives the A/D converters can originate from the
Stratix II device, the external clock input, or the on-board 100-MHz
oscillator. Jumper J3 controls which clock is used for ADC A and J4 is used

D/A Converters
The Stratix II EP2S60 DSP development board has two D/A converters.
The D/A subsystem of the board has the following features:
■
■
1
The converters produce 14-bit samples at a maximum rate of 165
MSPS.
The analog output from each D/A converter is single-ended.
The D/A converters expect data in an unsigned integer format.
The D/A clock signals are output directly from the Stratix II device to the
converters.
Figure 5 shows the on-board circuitry after a D/A converter. The output
of a D/A converter chip, DAC904, consists of a current source whose
maximum value is 20 mA. This output is connected to ground on the
board using a 51-Ω resistor, creating a Thevenin equivalent voltage source
of 1 V in series with a 51-Ω resistor. When loaded with an external 50-Ω
termination, the output swing is reduced to 0.5 VPP. Additionally, there is
a 27-pF capacitor in parallel with the output resistor resulting in a singlepole, low-pass filter with an upper 3-dB frequency of approximately 230
MHz when externally loaded. The output is then brought to an SMA
connector.

Flash Memory (U17)
U17 is a 16-Mbyte AMD AM29LV128M flash memory device connected
to the Stratix II device. It can be used for two purposes:
■
■
A Nios II embedded processor implemented in the Stratix II device
can use the flash as general-purpose readable memory and
non-volatile storage.
The flash memory can hold a Stratix II device configuration file that
is used by the configuration controller to load the Stratix II device at
power-up.
Hardware configuration data that implements the Nios II reference
design is pre-stored in this flash memory. The factory programmed
Nios II reference design, once loaded, can identify the 16-Mbyte flash
memory in its address space, and can program new data (either new
Stratix II configuration data, Nios II embedded processor software, or
both) into flash memory. The Nios II embedded processor software
includes subroutines for writing and erasing this specific type of AMD
flash memory.

The CompactFlash connector header (CON1) enables hardware designs
to access a CompactFlash card. The following two access modes are
supported:

IDE (IDE hard-disk mode)
Most pins of CON1 connect to I/O pins on the FPGA. The following pins
have special connections:

Preliminary
Pin 13 of CON1 (VCC) is driven by a power MOSFET that is
controlled by an FPGA I/O pin. This allows the FPGA to control
power to the CompactFlash card for the IDE connection mode.
Pin 26 of CON1 (CD1#) is pulled up to 5V through a 10-KΩ resistor.
This signal is used to detect the presence of a CompactFlash card.
When the card is not present, the signal is pulled high through the
pull-up resistor.
Pin 41 of CON1 (RESET) is pulled up to 5V through a 10-KΩ resistor,
and is controlled by the EPM7128AE configuration controller. The
FPGA can cause the configuration controller to assert RESET, but the
FPGA does not drive this signal directly.

Mictor Connector (J20)
The Mictor connector (J20) can be used to transmit up to 27 high-speed
I/O signals with very low noise via a shielded Mictor cable. J20 is used as
a debug port. Twenty-five of the Mictor connector signals are used as
data, and two signals are used as clock input and clock output.
Most pins on J20 connect to I/O pins on the Stratix II device (U18). For

RS-232C Serial I/O Interface
The board contains a DB9 connector (J29), which provides a bidirectional
RS-232C serial I/O interface. The board contains the transceiver (U41),
however the logic controller (UART) must be implemented in the
Stratix II device. Table 34 describes the device used to implement the
RS-232C interface.
J29 is a standard DB-9 serial connector. This connector is typically used
for communication with a host computer using a standard 9-pin serial
cable connected to (for example) a COM port. Level-shifting buffers (U52
and U58) are used between J29 and the Stratix II device, because the
Stratix II device cannot interface to RS-232 voltage levels directly.
J29 is able to transmit all RS-232 signals. The Stratix II design may use
only the signals it needs, such as J29’s RXD and TXD. LEDs are connected
to the RXD and TXD signals, giving a visual indication when data is being
transmitted or received. Figure 9 shows the pin connections between the
serial connector and the Stratix II device.

Install the Active
Heat Sink
f
The DSP Development Kit, Stratix II Edition includes a heat sink and fan
combination, also known as an active heat sink. This active heat sink
maintains the Stratix II device within its thermal operating range,
independent of the design size, clock frequency, and operating
conditions, allowing you to evaluate larger high-speed designs in
hardware before completing the thermal analysis of your system.
Depending on the specific requirements of your application, this level of
cooling may not be necessary.
For further information, refer to Application Note 355: Stratix II Device
System Power Considerations.
To mount the active heat sink to the board, perform the following steps:
1.
Center the heat sink on top of the Stratix II FPGA. The active heat
sink can be mounted in two directions; mount it so the wires are as
close as possible to the J36 connector. When connected, these wires
supply the 5 V DC power to the fan.
2.
Tilt the heat sink as shown in Figure 14, and attach the clip under
the FPGA.
Figure 14. Tilt the Heat Sink
Altera Corporation

Preliminary
Stratix II EP2S60 DSP Development Board Data Sheet
3.
Insert a thin, flat tool (small flat-head screwdriver, tweezers, or any
clip tool) into the clip’s pry hole, and use it to gently push the clip on
the edge of the FPGA. Snap the clip down to secure the heat sink.
See Figure 15.
Figure 15. Attach the Clip
4.
Attach the heat sink fan power connector to the J36 connector, for
5 V DC power.
Remove the Active Heat Sink
To remove the heat sink and fan from the board, perform the following
steps:
50
Preliminary
1.
Disconnect the heat sink fan power connector from the J36
connector.
2.
Insert the thin, flat tool into one of the clip’s pry holes. Using the
tool, slightly push away and lift the plastic clip from the FPGA to
detach one side of the heat sink.
3.
Repeat step 2 on the other side of the plastic clip to remove the heat
sink completely.
