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.
