Start Your CPLD Designs Today

Intel

Start developing your low-cost CPLD designs today with Altera's $75 MAX® V CPLD Development Kit. This kit provides a comprehensive, low-cost hardware platform to quickly begin developing low-cost, low-power CPLD designs. Download our new Quartus® II software now for MAX V support.

Use MAX V CPLDs for:

I/O expansion
Bridging
Power management
Analog interfacing
Supplementing ASSPs and ASICs

With this platform, you can:

Develop designs for the 5M570Z CPLD
Measure CPLD power (VCCINT and VCCIO)
Bridge between two different I/O voltages (adjustable VCCIO on CPLD Bank 2)
Interface to external functions and devices, via four connectors
Read from and write to memories:
- 8-kilobits (Kb) user flash memory (UFM) available within 5M570Z CPLD
- I2C or SPI EEPROMs (user installed)
Come up to speed quickly with your CPLD design by reusing the example designs provided by the kit's Board Test System
Reuse the kit's PCB board and schematic as model for your design.

Max CPLD Family

Featuring the industry's first look-up-table (LUT)-based, non-volatile architecture and the market's largest-density CPLD, the MAX V family provides robust features at up to 50-percent lower total power versus competitive CPLDs. MAX V devices feature on-chip flash storage, internal oscillator, and memory functionality.
