FTDI Chip Morph-IC-II Altera Cyclone-II Module for DAC121S101

Morph-IC-II FPGA Development Module

The Morph-IC-II is a USB based FPGA development module featuring the Altera Cyclone-II FPGA with the FTDI FT2232H USB to UART/FIFO/MPSSE converter IC. The module provides integration of Hi-Speed USB capability (480Mbit/s) with an FPGA, to enable ultra-fast software based FPGA configuration/reconfiguration and communication using the FTDI royalty free drivers.

• High performance, low power Altera Cyclone-II EP2C5F256C8N FPGA device
• Up to 124 x 0.1in pitch headers providing access to 96 I/Os on the FPGA and FT2232H module
• USB type B connector provides connection to a PC
• JTAG port connector for FPGA boundary scan, test and configuration

An FPGA is a semiconductor device consisting of a matrix of Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) connected through programmable interconnects. The user determines these interconnections by programming SRAM. A CLB can be simple (AND, OR gates, etc) or complex (a block of RAM). The FPGA allows changes to be made to a design even after the device is soldered into a PCB.
