Arria V GT FPGA Development Board December 2014 Altera Corporation
Reference Manual
The power for the board can be sourced entirely from the PCI Express edge connector
when installed into a PC motherboard. Although the board can also be powered by a
laptop power supply for use on a lab bench, Altera recommends that you do not
power up from both supplies at the same time. Ideal diode power sharing devices
have been designed into this board to prevent damages or back-current from one
supply to the other.
The
PCIE_REFCLK_P
signal is a 100 MHz differential input that is driven from the PC
motherboard on to this board through the edge connector. This signal connects
directly to a Arria V GT FPGA
REFCLK
input pin pair using DC coupling. This clock is
terminated on the motherboard and therefore, no on-board termination is required.
This clock can have spread-spectrum properties that change its period between
9.847 ps to 10.203 ps. The I/O standard is High-Speed Current Steering Logic (HCSL).
Figure 2–8 shows the PCI Express reference clock levels.
The JTAG and SMB are optional signals in the PCI Express specification. Therefore,
the JTAG signal loopback from PCI Express TDI to PCI Express TDO and are not used
on this board. The SMB signals are wired to the Arria V GT FPGA but are not required
for normal operation.
Table 2–24 summarizes the PCI Express pin assignments. The signal names and
directions are relative to the Arria V GT FPGA.
