MAX IIZ Demonstration Board |
This battery powered demonstration board enables you to measure the EPM240Z device's low-power capability and highlight several common uses for CPLDs. There is a power consumption measurement design example included with the demonstration board CD-ROM. The board and design example allow you to take power measures (with a portable digital multi-meter) when the board is operating in four modes of system operation: high speed, low speed, standby, and off. You can probe the following four different power rails:
- Core only (EPM240Z CPLD)
- I/O bank (EPM240Z CPLD)
- I/O bank 2 (EPM240Z CPLD)
- Entire demonstration board
Contact your local Altera sales representative to request this demonstration board.
