Altera SDI HSMC - Manual (Page 5)

© July 2009 Altera Corporation SDI HSMC Reference Manual
1. Overview
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
® offers several
transceiver supported host boards with high speed serial HSMC interfaces, including
the Stratix II
® GX, Arria ® GX, Stratix IV GX, and Arria II GX device families.
This manual includes detailed pinout information that enables you to create custom
FPGA designs on host adapters with HSMC interfaces.
Board Component Blocks
The SDI HSMC features the following major component blocks:
■ Power
■ High frequency switching regulator (LT3480) for 12-V to 5-V power conversion
■ Three linear regulators (LT3080) for 5-V to 3.3-V low noise power conversion
■ FDTIM analysis for power distribution network (PDN) decoupling
■ SDI
■ Two SDI receive (RX) channels with SDI cable equalizers (LMH0344)
■ Two SDI transmit (TX) channels with SDI cable tri-speed drivers (LMH0302)
■ Two 75- Ω BNC SDI RX interfaces
■ Two 75-
Ω BNC SDI TX interfaces
■ AES3
■ Two RS422 transceivers (LTC2851) for AES3 TX and AES3 RX channels
■ Two 75-
Ω BNC AES3 RX interfaces
■ Two 75-

■ 98.304 MHz/90.3168 MHz/122.88 MHz/112.896 MHz voltage-controlled
crystal oscillator (VCXO) based phase-locked loop (PLL) (ICS275-22)
■ One LVPECL differential clock buffer (SY58012) with two differential
outputs—HSMC and SMA
