1. Introduction

General

Description

The Stratix

II GX PCI Express development board provides a hardware

platform for developing and prototyping high-performance PCI Express

(PCIe)-based designs as well as to demonstrate the Stratix II GX device’s

embedded transceiver and memory circuitry.

With up to 16-integrated transceiver channels and support for

high-speed, low-latency memory access (via DDR2 SDRAM and QDRII

memory interfaces), the Stratix II GX PCI Express development board

provides a fully-integrated solution for multi-channel, high-performance

applications, while also using limited board space.

Through the use of Altera

MegaCore

functions (or other intellectual

property [IP] cores) and expansion connectors, you can enable the

inter-operability of the Stratix II GX embedded transceivers with

third-party, application-specific standard products (ASSPs) in either

point-to-point or switching and bridging applications.

Because the Stratix II GX embedded transceivers can implement the

entire PCIe interface on one device, the StratixIIGX PCIExpress

development board offers a high-bandwidth, low-latency, power-

efficient PCIe solution with sufficient LEs for your applications.

To simplify the design process, Altera provides a PCIe reference design—

available from the Altera website—for use as either a design starting

point or an experimental platform. The reference design is designed and

tested by Altera engineers and distributed with the PCI Express

Development Kit, Stratix II GX Edition (ordering code:

DK-PCIE-2SGX90N).
