Board Setup and Test Designs
Two host platforms that this board has successfully been tested on are the Stratix IV GX production
device development kit and the Arria II GX development kit. The Arria II GX development kit only
utilizes the HSMC port A, so this kit can only use SFP+ port 1. The Arria II GX development kit
6G edition allows the use of HSMC port A and port B, so that it may be possible to use both SFP+
ports 1 and 2. However, the 6G edition kit has not been tested in hardware.

Board Setup
Before powering on the host board on, make sure to install a shunt on J13 and J14. Then plug the
HSMC board into the host board.
This board was designed so that Si5338 or the Si5334C (default) may be installed in position U16.

J13
Si5338_SCL
3.3V
When using the Si5334C (default) this pin is a
ground pin. It must be pulled to GND. When
using the Si5338 device this pin is SCL.
J14
CLK_OE
3.3V
When using the Si5334C (default) this pin is
output enable (OEB, active low). When pulled
low all programmed outputs are active. When
using the Si5338 device this pin is SDA.
