The USB-Blaster download cable interfaces a USB port on a host computer to an Altera
FPGA or CPLD mounted on a printed circuit board. 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.
The USB-Blaster download cable allows you to program and configure
Altera devices. Specifically, you can do the following:
Download configuration data to FPGA devices:
Stratix II & III, Stratix II GX, Stratix GX, and Stratix family of devices
Cyclone II and Cyclone family of devices
APEX II and APEX 20K family of devices
FLEX 10K, FLEX 10KE, and FLEX 10KA family of devices
Download configuration data to User Flash Memory (UFM) devices:
Download configuration data to EEPROM-based devices:
MAX 3000 and MAX 7000 family of devices
Perform in-system programming of advanced configuration devices:
EPC2, EPC4, EPC8, EPC16, and EPC1441 devices
Perform in-system programming of serial configuration devices:
EPCS1, EPCS4, EPCS16, and EPCS64 devices
In addition, 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.
