USB 3.0 development board provides a hardware and software platform for developing and prototyping SuperSpeed USB 3.0 device interface applications. The board featured with Altera's lowest cost, lowest power and high functionality Cyclone IV E FPGA family device. It uses TUSB1310AZAY USB 3.0 PHY Chip for USB 3.0 SuperSpeed device interface. Also the board enriched with the high-speed memory components like DDR2 SDRAM, NAND Flash, CFI Flash, SDRAM and SD card as external memory storage media.

The board functionality can be expanded through Altera High Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) connector. SLS and other Altera development kit partners have made the daughter cards which allow you to expand the functionality of the board.

The USB 3.0 Development board is a complete package for the developer to design high-end high functionality systems.
