1 Introduction
The AL460 HSMC Adaptor (BB-AL460FSB1-EVB-D0) is designed for connecting the
AL460 module (DST-0106A-MDL-A0/A1) to an ALTERA Cyclone III FPGA board. This
configuration facilitates design verification/validation when developing or testing with the
AL460 chip.
This adaptor provides one HSMC connector for the FGPA board and two 50-pin female
headers for the AL460 module board (DST-0106A-MDL-A0/A1). The HSMC connector is a
modified version of a standard high-speed Samtec connector, which is pin-to-pin
compatible with the Cyclone III FPGA host board’s HSMC connector. The 50-pin female
headers match the two male headers on the AL460 module (DST-0106A-MDL-A0/A1).

2.3 User Control Interface
When connecting the AL460 evaluation board, the functions “Two Frame Mode” and “Polarity
Control” are configured on two 3-pin headers (JP3 & JP4 on adaptor).
Pin name I/O
type Description
PLRTY I Set the active polarity for the control signals by
jumpering pins 1,2, 3 on JP4:
Jumper 2, 3: PLRTY is active low (VD33).
Jumper 1, 2: PLRTY is active high (GND).
Control signals include WEN, REN, WRST, RRST,
IE, OE, (total of 6 signals).
Note: During memory operations, the pin must be
permanently connected to VD33 or GND. If PLRTY
level is changed during a memory operation,
memory data is not guaranteed.
TWO_FRAME_EN I Set Two Frame Mode by jumpering pins 1,2 3 on
JP3:
Jumper 1,2: “0” – Standard FIFO Mode
Jumper 3,2: “1” – Two Frame Mode
Note: These signals are internally pull-high; default is high if signals are NC.

3 Attaching the AL460 EVB
The HSMC adaptor shares the same dimensions as the DST-0106A-MDL-A0/A1 (80 mm x
80 mm) and should align perfectly when connected together. Match the pins on the male
connectors (on module board) to the female connectors (on Adaptor) as follows:
