A special-purpose PC/104 digital interface

  • Features Altera EPM7256S CPLD with 256 macrocells, up to 5,000 usable gates, and 15-nsec propagation delay
  • Enables digital I/O, timers, UARTs, PWM, shift registers, state machines, and many other I/O devices to be developed and downloaded from a desktop computer to the CPLD
  • Can be powered separately and run as a stand-alone board
  • In-system programming through the JTAG port
  • Altera's MAX+PLUS II software allows CPLDs to be designed by using schematic capture or high-level description languages
  • The CPLD connects to all of the signals on the PC/104 bus, four LEDs, four plug-on jumpers, a 32-pin JEDEC socket, a 40-pin connector, and a 34-pin connector
  • Small breadboard area for custom circuitry
