1. Overview

Introduction

This document describes the hardware features of the Cyclone

III LS FPGA

development board, including the detailed pin-out and component reference

information required to create custom FPGA designs that interface with all

components of the board.

General Description

The Cyclone III LS FPGA development board provides a hardware platform for

developing and prototyping low-power, secure, high-volume, feature-rich designs as

well as to demonstrate the Cyclone III LS device's on-chip memory, embedded

multipliers, and the Nios

II embedded soft processor. The board provides a wide

range of peripherals and memory interfaces to facilitate the development of the

Cyclone III LS FPGA designs.

Two high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors are available to add additional

functionality via a variety of HSMCs available from Altera

and various partners.

f To see a list of the latest HSMCs available or to download a copy of the HSMC

specification, refer to the Development Board Daughtercards page of the Altera

website (www.altera.com).

The Cyclone III LS FPGAs are the first to offer a suite of security features at the silicon,

software, and intellectual property (IP) level on a low-power, high-functionality

FPGA. This suite of security features protects your IP from tampering, reverse

engineering, and cloning. Additionally, these devices enable you to introduce

redundancy in a single chip using design separation, which in turn reduces the size,

weight, and power of your applications.

The Cyclone III LS FPGA development board is especially suitable for low-power,

secure, logic-rich applications that require stringent signal and power integrity

solutions.
