USER MANUAL

Preface
The QMTech® Cyclone IV SDRAM Development Board uses Intel(Altera) EP4CE15F23
device to demonstrate Intel’s leadership in offering power-efficient FPGAs. With enhanced
architecture and silicon, advanced semiconductor process technology, and power
management tools, power consumption for Cyclone IV FPGAs has been reduced by up to 25
percent compared to Cyclone® III FPGAs. The result is the lowest power consumption of any
comparable FPGA.

Introduction

1.1

Document Scope
This demo user manual introduces the Cyclone IV EP4CE15 core board and describes how to setup the
core board running with application software Altera Quartus II 15.1. Users may employee the on board
rich logic resource FPGA EP4CE15F23C8N and large SDRAM memory MT48LC16M16 to implement
various applications. The core board also has 108 non-multiplexed FPGA IOs for extending customized
modules, such as UART module, CMOS/CCD camera module, LCD/HDMI/VGA display module etc.

Getting Started
Below image shows the dimension of the Cyclone IV EP4CE15 core board: 67.1mm x 84.1mm. The unit
in below image is millimeter(mm).

Figure 2-1. Cyclone IV EP4CE15 Dimension
The Cyclone IV EP4CE15 core board tool chain consists of Altera Quartus II 15.1, Altera USB Blaster
cable, EP4CE15 core board and 5V DC power supply. Below image shows the Altera Quartus II 15.1
development environment which could be downloaded from Altera(Intel) office website:

Cyclone IV EP4CE15 Hardware Design

2.2.1

Cyclone IV EP4CE15 Power Supply
The core board needs 5V DC input as power supply which could be directly injected from power header
or the 64P header U7/U8. Users may refer to the hardware schematic for the detailed design. The on
board LED D4 indicates the 3.3V supply, it will be turned on when the 5V power supply is active. In
default status, all the FPGA banks IO power level is 3.3V because bank power supply is 3.3V.
Note: FPGA core supply 1.2V is regulated by On-Semi DC/DC chip NCP1529 which could output
maximum 1A current.
