Overview

The Altera® DK-DEV-3CLS200NDK-DEV-3CLS200N Cyclone® III LS FPGA Development Kit is a complete design environment that includes both the hardware and software you need to develop Cyclone III LS FPGA designs. The board and the one-year license for the Quartus® II software provide everything you need to begin developing custom Cyclone III LS FPGA designs.

The following list describes what you can accomplish with the development kit:

Develop and test memory subsystems consisting of DDR2 memory
Take advantage of the modular and scalable design by using the high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors to interface to over 20 different HSMCs provided by Altera partners

The Cyclone III LS FPGA development board provides a hardware platform for developing and prototyping low-power, secure, high-volume, feature-rich designs as well as to demonstrate the Cyclone III LS device's on-chip memory, embedded multipliers, and the Nios® II embedded soft processor. The board provides a wide range of peripherals and memory interfaces to facilitate the development of the Cyclone III LS FPGA designs. Two high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) connectors are available to add additional functionality via a variety of HSMCs available from Altera® and various partners.

The Cyclone III LS FPGAs are the first to offer a suite of security features at the silicon, software, and intellectual property (IP) level on a low-power, high-functionality FPGA. This suite of security features protects your IP from tampering, reverse engineering, and cloning. Additionally, these devices enable you to introduce redundancy in a single chip using design separation, which in turn reduces the size, weight, and power of your applications.

The suite of security features in Cyclone III LS FPGAs consists of:

Silicon security
- 256-bit AES bitstream encryption
- JTAG port protection
- Internal oscillator
- Zeroization (active clear)
- Cyclical redundancy check (CRC)
Software security
- Design separation
Supervisor IP

Key Applications: Automotive, Consumer, Display, Industrial, Military, Video and image processing and Wireless.
