QUICGATE_2C52C8


Quicgate Cyclone II™ EP2C5/EP2C8 Controller/FPGA Module

Information :

The Quicgate module allows implementation of general logic functions and/or Altera Nios II processor operation in a compact form factor module.  The module provides the following circuits to support an FPGA based controller:
 
bullet

256K X 16 SRAM

bullet

EP1S4 FPGA serial loader (FPGA and Nios II boot)

bullet

4 Mbit serial flash

bullet

RS-232 link


Quicgate modules also supports the specification (master or slave standard card, 128 pin), and can interface with other modules designed to that specification.  The Quicgate kit includes an FPGA programmer and power supply, and provides all the hardware items which are necessary to start designing with and evaluating the powerful features of Altera® Cyclone II FPGA devices.

Module Details :

  1. Altera EP2C5 or EP2C8 Cyclone II FPGA, in –C8 speed grade.
     
  2. Separate programming ports (ASMI flash interface and JTAG interface).
     
  3. Reset and voltage monitor IC which provides 400mS reset pulse.
     
  4. Reset push-button switch.
     
  5. 110 input/output pins available.
     
  6. 3 discrete indicator LED (red, yellow, green).
     
  7. Clock oscillator (25 MHz).
     
  8. compatible design.
     
  9. EPCS4 (4Mbit) serial flash for FPGA configuration (and Nios II software).
     
  10. 256K x 16 bit (4Mbit) SRAM for Nios II program execution and dynamic data storage.
     
  11. One RS-232 interface.
     
  12. 4 Mbit serial flash for data storage.

Quartus II Starter Design  :

  1. Created using Quartus II ver. 6.0 SP1.

  2. Nios II processor defined.

  3. All module pins are defined in top level schematic
    project file.

  4. Memory test with results indicated to LED.

  5. FPGA load from EPCS4

  6. Serial Flash device diagnostic

  7. RS-232 port test

Note:  The starter design available for download from this website was created using Quartus II ver. 6.0 SP1.  Some user modification of the starter design may be required to support compilation under later versions of Quartus II.  Quartus II "web edition" is available for download from the Altera website.
