1. About This Kit
The Altera ® MAX ® V CPLD Development Kit is a complete design environment that
includes both the hardware and software you need to prototype the most common
CPLD applications, including I/O expansion, interface bridging, power management
control, initialization control, and analog interface control. The RoHS-compliant
board, and the license-free Quartus
® II Web Edition software provide everything you
need to begin developing custom MAX V CPLD designs. The following list describes
what you can accomplish with the kit:
■ Develop designs for the 5M570Z CPLD.
■ Measure CPLD power (V
CCINT
and V
CCIO
).
■ Bridge between two different I/O voltages (adjustable V
CCIO
on CPLD Bank 2).
■ Interface to external functions or devices via four connectors.
■ Read and write to memories:
■ 8-Kbit (Kb) user flash memory (UFM) available within the 5M570Z CPLD.
■ I 2 C or SPI EEPROMs (user installed).
■ Come up to speed quickly with your CPLD design by reusing the example designs
provided.
■ Re-use the kit’s PCB board and schematic as a model for your design.
