picoUSB

Note: The DIGILAB picoMax is no longer available from CEPD, the picoUSB board is our suggested replacement.

The picoUSB is a prototyping board for Altera CPLDs. The system is placed in the low-end, low-price segment. With the Quartus® II Web Edition design software package, you will be programming your own designs into the device in no time. The picoUSB is ideal for introductory Digital logic courses.

An EPM3032ALC44-10 is included which provides 32 Macrocells or 600 usable gates and up to 34 user I/Os pins. picoUSB can be used with all available MAX® 7000S, MAX 7000A, MAX 7000B and MAX 3000A EPLDs in 44 Pin PLCC Packages. As a result, picoUSB supports up to 160 Macrocells / 3200 usable gates / 64 user I/Os when using the largest supported component. That’s absolutely all you need.
