Waveshare 5989 USB Blaster V2
Description
Description
The USB Blaster Download Cable interfaces a USB port on a host computer to an Altera® FPGA mounted on a printed circuit board. The cable sends configuration data from the PC to a standard 10-pin header connected to the FPGA. You can use the USB Blaster cable to iteratively download configuration data to a system during prototyping or to program data into the system during production.
It surpports most of the ALTERA FPGA/CPLD devices, Active Serial Configuration devices, Enhanced Configuration devices, and supports AS, PS, JTAG three download modes.
Key Features
-
Hardware Solution
- High speed FT245+CPLD+244 solution, similar download speed as the original ALTERA USB Blaster, with the same operation.
- Download speed 1-3 times faster than other schemes, such as 68013 or C8051F.
-
Performance
