Honored ContributorHi everyone,
I need a FPGA dev kit to parallel read/write data to a external ASIC device at ~ 200MB/s. Unfortunately the device I/O is at 1.2V supply, the number of the parallel I/O is 10 bit. Anyone has any suggestion which Devkit I should go for (10 bit general purpose 1.2V I/O)? I am okay if I need to get a I/O expansion card.
Honored ContributorYou can try to search through this page https://www.altera.com/products/boards_and_kits/all-development-kits.html for the DevKit that suit your requirement.
Honored ContributorI believe most of the Altera FPGA support the 1.2V IO standard. For example, the 1.2V LVCMOS in Cyclone V device.
Honored ContributorNormally I would choose the devkit based on the feature and capabilities instead of finding a board that have 10 IOs @1.2V
Reason would be that most of the devkit kinda expansive, so I would choose one with features I want such as PCIe or ethernets. Then most of them will have HSMC connector for (IO direct out of the FPGA) and those are 2.5V only. I would suggest the IO expansion or use a voltage divider.Honored ContributorAgree with ah_zhi02. Choose a dev kit with more features in reasonable price. I believe that you will not use it once only.:-P
