A/D's on Stratix Dev PCB get HOT!!

I have noticed that the Analog Devices A/D converters (AD9433) on my Stratix EP1S80 Development Board get very hot, very quickly. This occurs all the time, even when they are not being used. I cannot...

Hi,

I'm a FPGA beginner and a EE student and I bought an used Stratix EP1S80 DSP Development Board which came with no DSP Dev Kit CD-ROM (missing the labs, design examples and board supportive files).

Do you know how can I download this CD-ROM or purchase it? This is a 2004 product and I'm using for FPGA learning purpose.

Thanks,

Rob.

Try looking here ...

ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/devkit/

(Its not a well organized folder, but perhaps there is something there).

All you really need is the schematic for the board, so that you can generate a constraints file for the FPGA pinout. The examples are not generally of much use. If you want help, just ask here on the forum and you'll get better examples. I don't have the kit you are talking about, but if you find the schematic, I can help you get started.

Cheers,

Dave
