CYC5000 IoT / Maker Board
1.1 About Arrow CYC5000 Board
The CYC5000 is a customizable IoT / Maker Board ready for evaluation, development, and/or use
in a product. The board is based on Cyclone V FPGA, which is optimized to simultaneously
accommodate the shrinking power consumption, cost, and time-to-market requirements,
furthermore, increasing bandwidth requirements for a wide spectrum of general logic and DSP
applications. The ready-to-use hard intellectual property (IP) blocks in the core FPGA fabric, such
as variable precision digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, and multiport memory controllers
consume less power and free up more logic resources, which provides sufficient resources to
implement other functions such as Nios II 32-bit microcontroller IP or various interface controls.
The CYC5000 is equipped with an Arrow USB Programmer2, SDRAM, flash memory, CRUVI HS
and ARDUINO MKR connectors making it a fully featured plug-and-play solution without any
additional costs.
The CYC5000 board contains all the tools needed to use the board in conjunction with a
computer that runs a 64-bit Linux / Microsoft Windows 10 operating system or later.

3.2 Clock Circuitry
The external clock of the system can be seen in Figure 4. The default clock (CLK12M) is at 12MHz
and is connected and driving the FPGA’s user logic and the Arrow USB Programmer2. There is an
optional clock input from CRUVI HS Connector, where you can add another preferred clock
source to the FPGA (REFCLK). Both clock signals drive the internal PLLs of the FPGA.
For more information on clocks and PLLs of the Cyclone V, please refer to this document.
