Altera UP1

This is the newest addition to our lab, thanks to the Altera Corporation. It has two FPGAs on it for developing complex programmable logic applications. The MAX7000 device on the left side of the board typically supports 2,500 gates for simple designs. The FLEX10K20 on the right supports 20,000 gates, and includes connections to a DB25 VGA connector, as well as a PS/2 mouse port. The system is programmable via a PC parallel port, using the included MAX+PLUS II Student Edition.
