The development board was designed to prototype the most common CPLD applications, including I/O expansion, interface bridging, power management control, configuration and initialization control, and analog interface control.
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 or devices via four connectors
• Read and write to memories:8-Kbit (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
• Re-use the kit's PCB board and schematic as a model for your design
