Preface
The ASK1CA provides a cost-efficient development board for use by FPGA beginners. This educational tool features a 144-pin Cyclone FPGA on a 1/4 A4-paper size (10.5 x 14.85 cm) PCB equipped with a variety of I/Os and displays for use in a multitude of experiments covered in associated VLSI reading materials. Two models of the development board exist, with Cyclone FPGAs of differing capabilities: Model ASK1CA-3 ASK1CA-6 Description EP1C3TC144 (30,000 gates) FPGA w/ EPCS1 1MB PROM for start-up design storage EP1C6TC144 (60,000 gates) FPGA w/ EPCS4 4MB PROM for start-up design storage

The difference between the boards resides in the density of the FPGA and the accompanying PROM chip and not in the functions it can perform with the included I/O devices.

A list of features of the ASK1CA development board are as follows: A 30,000 Gate Cyclone EP1C3 FPGA or 60,000 Gate Cyclone EP1C6 (144-pin TQFP Package) (EP1C3TC144 / EP1C6TC144) 1M-Byte or 4M-Byte Parallel Flash, and programming configuration PROM chip 128K bytes of fast asynchronous SRAM 8-bit VGA display output 9-pin RS-232 serial DM9 9 - pin female port (DCE terminal) PS/2 Mouse and Keyboard Port Eight 7-segment LED Eight Orange LEDs Four Push buttons 10 MHz Quartz clock source (on back of the board) 50 MHz Quartz clock source FPGA Configuration Indicator LED 22-pin I/O expansion connector (2.54mm pitch double-pin) JTAG and AS download ports 5V and USB external power supply sockets Power Status LEDs

1.2 Power-on demo


Upon initial start-up of the board, an LED blink demo contained in the non-volatile PROM will be uploaded to the FPGA. This demo will remain on the PROM until it is overwritten, where upon start-up subsequent designs will be uploaded.

2.4 Clock Input


Onboard the ASK1CA, a 50MHz quartz crystal connected to the FPGA global clock inputs rising-edge GCLK0 (pin 16) and falling-edge GCLK1 (pin 17).

2.5 LCD Matrix Display


The ASK1CA includes a 1602 LCD Matrix Display whose module can be communicated to via 16-pin IO connector (CON9 may not be marked). This shares connections with the neighbouring 22-pin IO connector (CON10) used for similar devices. Supply voltage for these connectors can be selected by the CON8 jumper (upper pins 5v, lower pins 3.3v).
