Hello, 

 

the Cyclone III FPGA Starter Board Reference Manual says: 

 

"For more information regarding the HSMC, refer to the High Speed Mezzanine Card Electrical and Mechanical Specification version 1.2 or later." 

 

Where can i get this specification? I can't find it one the Altera website. 

 

Thanks in advance! 

Michael

You can use the differential pairs as 2 single ended I/Os. You can of course use only one pin of the pair and leave the other unconnected.

How to use differential pairs as 2 single ended IO? 

What configuration to set in Quartus or hardware? 

As far as I know, I thought to use single ended IO, I just need to reconfigure it at pin planner so that it has IO standard 2.5V instead of LVDS isnt it? Please correct me if I am wrong because I am currently configuring the HSMC pins. 

 

thank you.

You would really help me out with those HSMC eagle footprints. If anyone has them, please send them to me! 

Thank you very much!

I already have the Samtec Connector (ASP-122952-01) because i want to build an expansion board for the Cyclone III Development Kit. (If somebody is interested in an EAGLE footprint for this connector, let me know.)
