1. Setting Up the Intel FPGA Download Cable II

Attention:

names may still refer to USB-Blaster II.

The Intel FPGA download cable II interfaces a USB port on a host computer to an Intel

FPGA mounted on a printed circuit board. The download cable sends data from the PC

to a standard 10-pin header connected to the FPGA. You can use the cable for the

following:

•

Iteratively download configuration data to a system during prototyping

•

Program data into the system during production

•

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) key and fuse programming

1.1. Supported Devices and Systems

You can use the cable to download configuration data to the following devices:

•

•

•

•

You can perform in-system programming of the following devices:

•

EPC4, EPC8, and EPC16 enhanced configuration devices

•

EPCS1, EPCS4, EPCS16, EPCS64, and EPCS/Q128, EPCQ256, EPCQ-L and

EPCQ512 serial configuration devices

The cable supports target systems using the following:

•

5.0-V TTL, 3.3-V LVTTL/LVCMOS

•

Single-ended I/O standards from 1.5 V to 3.3 V

1.2. Power Source Requirements

•

5.0 V from the cable

•

Between 1.5 V and 5.0 V from the target circuit board
