1. Setting Up the USB-Blaster Download
Cable
Introduction
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.
Supported Devices
You can use the USB-Blaster download cable to download configuration data to the
following Altera devices:
Stratix
®
series FPGAs
Cyclone
®
series FPGAs
MAX
®
series CPLDs
Arria
®
GX series FPGAs
APEX
series FPGAs
ACEX
®
1K FPGAs
Mercury
FPGAs
FLEX 10K
®
series FPGAs
Excalibur
FPGAs
You can perform in-system programming of the following devices:
Altera configuration devices including EPC2 devices.
Enhanced configuration devices including EPC4, EPC8, and EPC16 devices.
Serial configuration devices including EPCS1, EPCS4, EPCS16, EPCS64, and
EPCS128 devices.
In addition, you can perform SignalTap
®
II logic analysis.
The USB-Blaster download cable supports target systems using 5.0-V TTL, 3.3-V
LVTTL/LVCMOS, and single-ended I/O standards from 1.5 V to 3.3 V.
Power Requirements
The USB-Blaster download cable requires the following power sources:
5.0 V from the USB cable
Between 1.5 V and 5.0 V from the target circuit board
