"For programming and configuration by connecting the USB port of the host computer and the printed circuit board with FPGA, which has become a long-seller at Unipos.FPGA download cable (former name: USB Blaster Download Cable))” will be introduced.
| *USB Blaster Download Cable has changed its product name and is now called FPGA Download Cable. When contacting us, it doesn't matter which product name you use, but if you don't mind, please let us know the product URL. |
What is FPG download cable
Intel/Altera USB Blaster is a great FPGA programming device (FPGA download cable).
USB 2.0 high speed compatibleUSB-Blaster IIand compatible with USB full speedUSB-Blasterthere is.Both products connect a 10-pin header to the computer and FPGA, and send configuration data from the PC to the FPGA during prototyping.
However, USB-Blaster II and USB-Blaster have different connector shapes.Interference may occur depending on the board to be connected.please note.
Main uses
- Download configuration data to the system during prototype development
- Program data into the system during production
- AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) key and fuse programming, one of the common key block ciphers
- Supports multiple target board voltage standards
- In-circuit reconfiguration of FPGA
Intel/Altera FPGA Download Cable II (former name: USB-Blaster II Cable)
FPGA Download Cable II(USB-Blaster II) supports USB2.0, which is faster than FPGA Download Cable(USB-Blaster).
The TCK clock frequency operates at 24MHz. The difference from FPGA Download Cable (USB Blaster Cable) is the JTAG circuit.
Major features
- USB 2.0 High-Speed protocol implementation
- RoHS
- USB Hi-Speed (USB2.0) compliant
- JTAG support
