Optional HSMC-Based Daughtercards for details). High-Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) Interface Altera developed the specification for the HSMC, which is based on the Samtec mechanical connector, to define and standardize the interface between optional daughtercards and host boards. This specification outlines both the electrical and mechanical properties of the interface between daughtercard and host. You can also create your own HSMC interface compatible daughtercards.
