Cyclone II FPGA Starter Development Board

Introduction

A switch produces logic 0 when in the DOWN
(closest to the edge of the board) position
and logic 1 when in the UP position

Clock Inputs

50-MHz oscillator

27-MHz oscillator

24-MHz oscillator

SMA external clock input

Audio CODEC

Wolfson WM8731 24-bit sigma-delta audio CODEC

Line-level input, line-level output, and microphone input jacks

Sampling frequency: 8 to 96 KHz

Applications for MP3 players and recorders, PDAs,
smart phones, voice recorders

VGA Output

Uses a 4-bit resistor-network DAC

15-pin high-density D-sub connector

Supports up to

640x480 at 60-Hz refresh rate

Can be used with the Cyclone II FPGA to implement
a high-performance TV encoder

Serial Ports

One RS-232 port

One PS/2 port

DB-9 serial connector for the RS-232 port

PS/2 connector for connecting a PS2 mouse
or keyboard to the board

Dual 40-Pin Expansion Headers

72 Cyclone II I/O pins and 8 power and ground lines
connect to two, 40-pin expansion connectors

40-Pin header designed to accept a standard 40-pin
ribbon cable used for IDE hard drives

Resistor protection provided
