MAX II Development Board
Features
The MAX
®
II development board, included with the MAX II
Development Kit, is a full-featured platform for evaluating MAX II
device features and prototyping CPLD designs. Circuits are provided to
allow users to measure MAX II power consumption and MAX II
power-up timing. Memory, displays, and interfaces enable designers to
begin the development or testing of custom CPLD designs.
Circuits
The MAX II development board contains the following circuits:
■ Active I/O sense circuit—Allows users to load V
CCINT
and observe the
effect on MAX II user I/O ramp times
■ Power measuring circuit—Allows users to measure the stand-by and
nominal power consumed by the MAX II device
■ Schmitt trigger circuit—Allows users to generate a custom clock using
the internal Schmitt trigger
Components
The MAX II development board contains the following components:
■ MAX II EPM1270F256C5 device
■ 66-MHz oscillator
■ Temperature sensor
■ Four user-definable push-button switches
■ Four user-definable LEDs
■ 16×2 character LCD
■ SRAM
Interfaces
The MAX II development board contains the following interfaces:
■ USB Interface
● V1.1 or V2.0
● Type B connector
■ 32-bit PCI edge connector
■ Altera
®
expansion prototype header
■ Prototyping area
