Morph-IC-II Datasheet
●Introduction
■Morph-IC-II is a compact and powerful FPGA module which is capable of implementing LSI (Large Scale Integration) designs or entry level VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) designs. Designs can be synthesised through utilising up to 4,608 Logic Elements of Morph-IC-II‟s on board FPGA.
■The Morph-IC-II platform combines an Altera Cyclone®-II FPGA with high-performance USB 2.0 capabilities that facilitate Hi-speed communications with ultra-fast, sub-100ms FPGA programming/re-programming. This makes Morph-IC-II ideal for applications which require users to reconfigure hardware functionality 'on-the-fly' by downloading new software over USB: "morphing" the hardware.
■Communication between the FPGA and the PC is done through a USB 2.0 connection to the FTDI FT2232H USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mbit/s) USB bridge. Morph-IC-II is an easy to use module which allows users to program and interact with the FPGA using a free software package produced by Altera called Quartus II.

■Morph-IC-II is fully backward compatible with the MorphIC-1K module (the predecessor of Morph-IC-II). The MorphIC-1K is an FPGA/USB module used in medium scale production as an alternative to producing an ASIC and prototyping. Morph-IC-II is an upgraded version of the MorphIC-1K with increased capacity and increased speed. Morph-IC-II is a plug in replacement for the MorphIC-1K, but Morph-IC-II has additional I/Os. For new applications, it is recommended to design any application board for the Morph-IC-II header configuration to utilize the additional 40 I/Os and the JTAG signal ports of the header.
■Although Morph-IC-II is fully backward compatible with MorphIC-1K, there are some differences. For example, Morph-IC-II uses Port A for the FIFO interface rather than Port B. Morph-IC-II has some additional features over MorphIC-1K such as being able to operate some I/Os at various logic voltage levels. For example the I/O can be operated at 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V. This provides added flexibility to the designer.
■Morph-IC-II is shown in Fig. 1. The module has 4 connectors giving access to all the FPGA I/Os plus a JTAG header, that can be used to interface to Morph-IC-II with SignalTap Analyser (a function included in the Quartus-II package). SignalTap can be used to display the waveform of every pin of the FPGA. Morph-IC-II interfaces to a PC through a USB Type B connector. Two LEDs indicate when the board is powered and when the FPGA is programmed.
