Introduction
The THDB-HTG board is designed to convert a High-Speed Terasic connector (HSTC) or a High-Speed
Mezzanine connector (HSMC) I/Os to three 40-pin expansion prototype connectors, which are compatible
with Altera DE2/DE1 expansion headers. Users can connect up to three Altera DE2/DE1 boards (or
associated daughter cards) onto a HSTC/HSMC-interfaced host board via a THDB-HTG board.
1-1Features
Figure 1.1 shows the photo of a THDB-HTG board. The important functions of the THDB-HTG are listed
below:
Convert HSTC/HSMC-interfaced I/O to standard 40-pin expansion connectors.
Allow users to connect Altera DE2/DE1 boards to a HSTC/HSMC-interfaced host board.
Provide test points for signal measurement.

Board Components
This section will describe the information of components, connector interfaces, and pin
mappings on the THDB-HTG board in details.
1-5HSTC/HSMC Expansion Connector
This section describes the HSTC/HSMC connector on the THDB-HTG board
There are two options of high speed connector on the THDB-HTG board. One is a 180-pin female HSTC
connector for HSTC-interfaced host board such as Altera DE3 board and Terasic PCI board. The other one is
a 180-pin male connector for Altera HSMC-interfaced host board.All other interfaces on the THDB-HTG board
are connected to the HSTC/HSMC connector. Figure 3.1 shows the pin-outs of the HSTC and HSMC
connector.

1-6Expansion Prototype Connectors
This section describes the expansion prototype connectors on the THDB-HTG board.
The THDB-HTG board has three expansion prototype connectors (J2, J3, and J4) connected to the
HSTC/HSMC connector directly. Each of the connectors has 36 prototyping I/Os and 3.3/5 volts power supply
from the HSTC/HSMC interface and on-board regulator. In addition, the expansion connector is compatible
with expansion headers of Altera DE1/DE2 board. Users can connect Altera DE2/DE1 development kits or
custom daughter boards to a HSTC/HSMC-interfaced host board. Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.3 show the pin-outs
of the expansion prototype connectors for HSTC and HSMC version, respectively. Detailed pin mappings to
HSTC/HSMC connector are listed in Table 3.1, Table 3.2, and Table 3.3.

1-7Cyclone III Starter Board HSMC Connector
The naming convention used to assign the pin names for the HSMC connector is different for the Cyclone III
Starter Board and the standard HSMC connector. Figure 3.4 shows the pin-outs of the expansion prototype
connectors for Cyclone III Starter board HSMC version.

1-8Prototyping Area
The THDB-HTG board provides users a prototyping area for signal measurement or debug. These
prototyping points are connected to the HSTC/HSMC connector directly. Detailed I/O maps for HSTC and
HSMC version are provided to help users locate the corresponding prototyping points, as shown in Figure 3.4
and Figures 3.5, respectively.

1-9JTAG Switch
The THDB-HTG board provides a JTAG switch (SW1) to short the JTAG signal “HSTC_TDI” and
“HSTC_TDO” together. When the THDB-HTG board is connected to a HSTC host board, this feature can
bypass the JTAG signal from host board to form a close loop of JTAG chain. For example, if users connect a
THDB-HTG with Altera DE3 board, this switch must be turned on, or the Stratix III FPGA device will not be
detected because the JTGAchain is not a close loop on DE3 board. Figure 3.6 shows the JTAG switch being
turned on.

1-10Power ON Control Pin
Pin 121 of the HSTC connector is defined as a “Power ON” control signal. This signal allows host board to
turn on/off the power supply on THDB-HTG board. When the Power ON signal is in logic low level, the 3.3V
and 5V on the expansion header will not supply any power. This feature is designed for THDB-HTG HSTC
version only.
1-11I2C Serial EEPROM
This section describes the I2C Serial EEPROM on the THDB-HTG board
The THDB-HTG board provides a Microchip 24LC02BT EEPROM (U1) which can be configured by the I2C
interface. The size of the EEPROM is 2K-bit that can store the board information or user’s data. The detailed
pin description between EEPROM and HSMC connector is listed in the Table 3.4.

1-13Connecting THDB-HTG Board to a Cyclone III Starter Board
This section describes how to use the THDB-HTG board with a Cyclone III Starter Board.
Figure 4.1 illustrates how the THDB-HTG board is connected to the Cyclone III starter board. Users need to
pay extra attention to the following two points:
1. Observe the orientation of the HSMC connector when connecting the THDB-HTG to the Cyclone
III Starter Board.
2. Note that there are two LVDS pairs on the HSMC connector: the HSMC_CLK_p1/n1 (form a close
loop via R3) and HSMC_CLKIN_p2/n2 (form a close loop via R4). Therefore, using any one of the
signal in a LVDS pair under single-ended mode will prevent users from using the other signal in the
same pair.

This section describes how to use the THDB-HTG board with Altera DE3 Board.
Figure 4.2 illustrates how the THDB-HTG board is connected to the Altera DE3 board. Users need to pay extra
attention to the following three points:
1. THDB-HTG board can be connected to any of the HSTC connectors J1, J3, J5, and J7 on the DE3
board.
2. The JTAG Switch on the THDB-HTG board MUST be switched to “Bypass” position, or the FPGAdevice
on DE3 board will not be detected.
3. Users can use DE3_System_builder to create Quartus II project. Please refer to Figure 3.2 for the
corresponding signal names.
