1.1.1. Setting up the Hardware for Triple Rate SDI II with External VCXO Reference Design

Complete the steps in the following topics to set up the required hardware for the triple rate SDI II with external VCXO reference design.

Hardware and Software Requirements

The triple rate SDI II with external VCXO reference design requires the following hardware and software:

  • Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA Development Board (10AX115S3F45E2SGE3)
  • M21518 Single 3G Video Cable Driver
  • SMA cables, BNC plug to SMB plug cables, and BNC cables
  • SDI Signal Analyzer
  • SDI Signal Generator or Internal Pattern Generator
  • Intel® Quartus® Prime software version 16.0

Connecting the Development Board to the Cable Driver

Connect the J15 and J16 connectors on the Intel® Arria® 10 GX FPGA development board to the SDIp and SDIn connector pair on the M21518 Single Video 3G cable driver using the SMA cables.

Figure 2. Hardware Connection

Connecting the Hardware to the Power Supplies

Connect the following hardware to the respective power supply:
  1. The development board to the 12 V DC input (J13) power supply.
  2. The J6 and J9 inputs of the M21518 Single Video 3G cable driver to a 3.3 V power supply.
  3. The J1 input of the M21518 Single Video 3G cable driver to a GND power supply.

Port Assignments

When you set up the hardware, the following physical ports are assigned to the SDI channels.

Table 2.  SDI Channels and Ports
SDI Channel Hardware RX Port TX Port
0 Intel® Arria® 10 GX development board SDI_RX_P (J20) SDI_TX_P (J21)
1 M21518 single 3G video cable driver – SDO_A (J16)
1 Set the MSEL [2:0] bits according to your chosen configuration scheme.
