SPIDER Automation Altera MAX V 5M570Z CPLD Development Kit
Description
SPIDER Automation Altera MAX V 5M570Z CPLD Development Kit comes from the market’s leading supplier of CPLDs, providing a comprehensive and cost-effective hardware platform to jumpstart low-power, low-cost CPLD designs. Engineered to prototype the industry’s most common CPLD applications—such as I/O expansion, interface bridging, power management control, and board initialization—this kit delivers immense design flexibility in a compact footprint.
Equipped with built-in power measurement circuitry, adjustable bank voltages, user flash memory, and multiple expansion headers, the kit allows developers to interface with external functions, bridge disparate voltage domains, and evaluate design efficiency using Altera’s Quartus II software suite. Complete with reference schematics and sample designs, it serves as an immediate functional evaluator and a proven PCB model for custom hardware development.
Key Features
- MAX V 5M570Z CPLD Core: High-density CPLD featuring 570 logic elements housed in a 256-pin FineLine BGA package.
- Built-In Power Measurement: Dedicated monitoring circuitry to measure exact operating power for VCCINT and VCCIO rails.
- Adjustable Bank Voltage: Flexible VCCIO configuration on CPLD Bank 2 for bridging between two different I/O voltage standards.
- Integrated USB-Blaster: Onboard JTAG interface enabling fast configuration and debugging via standard USB connection.
- Onboard Memory Resources: 8 kilobits (Kb) of User Flash Memory (UFM) embedded within the CPLD alongside user-installed I2C/SPI EEPROMs.
- Extensive Expansion: Four dedicated connectors allowing seamless interfacing with external devices, sensors, and daughter boards.
Benefits
- Rapid Prototyping & Evaluation: Quickly test glue logic, bus bridging, and power sequencing concepts using proven reference designs.
- Precise Power Optimization: Real-time current and power measurements help fine-tune energy-efficient portable and industrial systems.
- Familiar Software Ecosystem: Fully supported by Altera Quartus II software for smooth compilation, simulation, and programming.
- Reusable Reference Design: Kit schematics and board layouts provide a ready-made template for custom production PCBs.
Applications
- I/O Expansion & Glue Logic: Bridging legacy microprocessors to modern high-speed peripheral ICs.
- Interface & Protocol Bridging: Translating signals across mixed-voltage domains and incompatible communication standards.
- Power Management Control: Managing multi-rail power sequencing, reset logic, and board initialization sequences.
- Embedded Initialization: Storing configuration data and boot parameters inside integrated user flash memory (UFM).
