Note that the current LCD modules used on DE2/DE2-70 boards do not have backlight. Therefore the LCD_BLON signal should not be used in users’ design projects.

5.6 Using the Expansion Header

The DE2-70 Board provides two 40-pin expansion headers. Each header connects directly to 36 pins of the Cyclone II FPGA, and also provides DC +5V (VCC5), DC +3.3V (VCC33), and two GND pins. Among these 36 I/O pins, 4 pins are connected to the PLL clock input and output pins of the FPGA allowing the expansion daughter cards to access the PLL blocks in the FPGA.

The voltage level of the I/O pins on the expansion headers can be adjusted to 3.3V, 2.5V, or 1.8V using JP1. Because the expansion I/Os are connected to the BANK 5 of the FPGA and the VCCIO voltage (VCCIO5) of this bank is controlled by the header JP1, users can use a jumper to select the input voltage of VCCIO5 to 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V to control the voltage level of the I/O pins. Table 5.7 lists the jumper settings of the JP1. The pin-outs of the JP1 appear in the Figure 5.10.

Finally, Figure 5.11 shows the related schematics. Each pin on the expansion headers is connected to two diodes and a resistor that provide protection from high and low voltages. The figure shows the protection circuitry for only two of the pins on each header, but this circuitry is included for all 72 data pins. Table 5.8 gives the pin assignments.
