Produkt dostępny na zamówienie

Overview

The TR4 Development Board provides the ideal hardware platform for system designs that demand high-performance, serial connectivity, and advanced memory interfacing. Developed specifically to address the rapidly evolving requirements in many end markets for greater bandwidth, improved jitter performance, and lower power consumption, the TR4 is powered by the Stratix® IV GX device and supported by industry-standard peripherals, connectors and interfaces that offer a rich set of features that is suitable for a wide range of compute-intensive applications.

The TR4 is supported by multiple reference designs and six High-Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) connectors that allow scaling and customization with mezzanine daughter cards. For large-scale ASIC prototype development, multiple TR4s can be stacked together to create an easily-customizable multi-FPGA system.

TR4 Tools

TR4 Control Panel – allows users to access various components on the TR4 board from a host computer.

TR4 Control Panel

TR4 System Builder – a powerful tool comes with the TR4 board. This tool will allow users to create a Quartus II project file on their custom design for the TR4 board. The top-level design file, pin assignments, and I/O standard settings for the TR4 board will be generated automatically by the TR4 System Builder. In addition, through the HSMC connectors you can select various daughter cards in conjunction with the TR4 using the TR4 System Builder.

TR4 System Builder

The generated Quartus II project files include the following:

• Quartus II Project File (.qpf)
• Quartus II Setting File (.qsf)
• Top-Level Design File (.v)
• External PLL Contorller (.v)
• Synopsis Design Constraints file (.sdc)
• Pin Assignment Document (.htm)
