By using "USB 3.0 Interface Card SV", it is possible to realize USB 3.0 with Intel® FPGA Development Kit. The board includes Cypress's USB 3.0 controller IC EZ-USB® FX3, which provides a 5Gbps link, and an HSMC (High Speed Transfer Interface) connector. By connecting this card to an Intel® FPGA development kit equipped with an HSMC connector, you can immediately start developing an FPGA with a USB 3.0 interface. (Note: This board is the successor to the conventional "USB 3.0 HSMC card")
Features
| main device | EZ-USB FX3 (CYUSB3014-BZXI) |
| clock device | RIVER ELETEC FCXO-05 19.2MHz RIVER ELETEC FCXO-05D 32.768kHz |
| interface | USB 3.0 (Type B micro connector), UART |
| Others | Verification with Intel® FPGA can be performed by connecting to an HSMC-equipped evaluation board through the expandable HSMC connector. In addition, by using Intel® FPGA through programmable I/O (GPIF™: General Programmable Interface) equipped with "EZ-USB FX3" and UVC (USB Video Class) reference design developed by Macnica, uncompressed High-speed data transfer of Full HD (1920 x 1080 @ 60fps) high-quality images is possible. |
Evaluation configuration with video input
By using Microtronix's HDMI HSMC card (sold separately), evaluation with video live is possible as shown in the configuration example below (Cyclone® IV GX FPGA development kit).
