The Programming Center provides an explanation of the programming solutions for the Altera® programmable devices listed below:
Altera® MAX® 3000A devices can be programmed in-system via the industry standard 4-pin IEEE Standard 1149.1 (JTAG) interface. In-system programmability (ISP) offers quick, efficient iterations during design development and also offers a low-cost production programming solution.
Altera's MAX® II devices can be programmed in-system via the industry standard 4-pin IEEE Standard 1149.1 (JTAG) interface. In-system programmability (ISP) offers quick, efficient iterations during design development and also offers a low-cost production programming solution.
Altera® MAX® 7000, MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices have different programming methods, as shown below.
MAX 7000 devices do not support the JTAG interface and can only be programmed using the conventional method.
The MAX 7000S, MAX 7000A, and MAX 7000B devices can be programmed in-system via the industry standard 4-pin IEEE Standard 1149.1 (JTAG) interface.
Altera's enhanced configuration devices (EPC16, EPC8, and EPC4) and serial configuration devices (EPCS4, EPCS1, EPCS16, and EPCS64) offer a cost-effective configuration solution for all Altera® FPGAs. The enhanced and serial configuration devices have different programming methods as described below.
Altera's enhanced configuration devices (EPC16, EPC8, and EPC4) and serial configuration devices (EPCS4, EPCS1, EPCS16, and EPCS64) offer a cost-effective configuration solution for all Altera® FPGAs. The enhanced and serial configuration devices have different programming methods as described below.
Enhanced configuration (EPC) devices can be programmed in-system via the industry standard 4-pin IEEE Standard 1149.1 (JTAG) interface. The EPC devices can be programmed using the following methods:
The serial configuration (EPCS) devices do not support the JTAG interface, the conventional method to program these devices is via the active serial (AS) programming interface. The EPCS devices can be programmed using the following methods:
