Altera DE3 Development System

Retired

Overview

 

The Altera DE3-150 Development and Education board allows researchers and engineers to access the world's highest density and highest performance FPGA - the new Stratix III. Starting with the Stratix III 3SL150 (142K logic elements), DE3 is the perfect platform for creating your cutting edge design in programmable logic. The DE3-150 board can be stacked up to create a programmable fabric that is unequaled by anything other board system in the world.

 

DE3 boards include the DE3-340 (338K logic elements) and the DE3-260 (254.4K logic elements) that is optimized with extra on-chip multipliers needed for DSP research and development. All of the DE3s can be stacked and all share the same set of function from the Terasic's daughter cards connected to them.

Multiple DE3s can be joined together to increase design gate count and performance.


 
Up to 10 DE3s can be stacked vertically where space is at a premium.
DE3s can also be arranged in a expanded flat pattern to accommodate additional daughter cards.

System Builder

DE3 System Builder, a powerful tool comes with the DE3 board. This tool can help users to create the Quartus II project files for DE3 board basic on their custom design. The top-level design file, pin assignment, and I/O standard setting for the DE3 board will be generated automatically by the DE3 System Builder.

The generated Quartus II project files include:

  • Quartus II Project File(.qpf)
  • Quartus II Setting File(.qsf)
  • Top-Level Deign File (.v)
  • Synopsis Design Constraints file (.sdc)
  • Encrypted Power Configuration Controller (.v)
  • Pin Assignment Document (.htm)

Control Panel

The DE3 board comes with a PC-based Control Panel that allows users to access various components on board. The host computer communicates with the board via USB port. The tool can be used to verify the functionality of components.
