1.1. Board Component Blocks

The MAX® 10 FPGA 10M08S Evaluation Kit features the following major component blocks. For a detailed description of the board components, refer to the Board Components section.

  • MAX® 10 FPGA, 10M08SAE144C8G, (or ES variant)
    • 8,000 logic elements (LE)
    • 378 kilobits (Kb) M9K memory
    • 32–172 Kb user flash memory
    • One ADC, 1 million samples per second (MSPS), 12-bit
  • FPGA configuration circuitry
    • JTAG header for external Intel® FPGA Download Cable, Intel® FPGA Download Cable II, or Intel® FPGA Ethernet Cable
    • Flash storage for two configuration images (factory and user)
    • Dual-image self-configuration via Programmer Object File (.pof)
    • Temporary engineering debug of FPGA design via SRAM Object File (.sof)
  • Onboard clocking circuitry
    • 50 MHz oscillator connected to FPGA global clock input
  • General user I/O
    • 8 analog input I/O, 14 Arduino I/O, 40 general purpose I/O
    • 5 red user-defined LEDs
    • One green LED to show power from USB cable
  • Push button and DIP switches
    • One reconfiguration push button (SW2)
    • One device-wide reset of all registers, push button (SW1)
    • User DIP switch (SW3)
  • Power
    • The board is powered by USB cable (from PC or wall jack)
    • One green power-on LED (D6)
    • Probe points for manual, multi-meter measurement of current to calculate power consumption (TP2–TP5) or to verify voltages on the selected internal nodes (TP1, TP6–TP9)
