Product: Minimum system board for MAX II family CPLD EPM240T100C5N Key benefits Ready-to-use development platform: includes USB download support and JTAG access to speed product validation and prototype development. Easy integration: all device pins are broken out to headers so you can connect LEDs, displays, sensors, and serial devices without custom wiring or adapter boards. Low-cost entry to CPLD/FPGA design: ideal for learning, proof-of-concept circuits, and small-scale logic implementations with the MAX II EPM240T100C5N device. What it does Hosts the MAX II family CPLD EPM240T100C5N as a minimum system board for development and validation. Provides USB programming/download capability plus JTAG and power interfaces exposed for direct access. Brings all CPLD I/O pins to accessible headers so users can attach external circuits such as LEDs, digital tubes, LCD panels, serial transceivers, and other peripherals. Key features CPLD: EPM240T100C5N (MAX II family) Programming: USB download support for convenient configuration and testing JTAG: JTAG interface exposed for boundary-scan and in-system programming/debugging Power: simple 5V power input; power interface is broken out for easy connection I/O: every CPLD pin routed to headers for straightforward prototyping and wiring Form factor: compact minimum system board designed for bench development and integration into test setups Typical applications / use scenarios 1) Educational labs and training: teach basic CPLD concepts, logic design, and JTAG programming using a compact, ready-made board. 2) Prototype interfaces: implement small peripheral controllers (LED arrays, seven-segment displays, basic LCD modules) and validate timing or protocol logic before committing to a custom PCB. 3) Serial and control logic development: develop and test UART/SPI/I2C front-end logic or glue logic for larger systems, using USB download and JTAG for rapid iteration. Quick usage notes Connect a 5V power supply to power the board. Use the USB download feature or the exposed JTAG interface to program and debug the EPM240T100C5N. Attach external components to the header-broken-out I/O pins for immediate testing and validation. This minimum system board provides a practical, low-cost platform for entry-level CPLD development and small-scale prototyping using the MAX II EPM240T100C5N, with USB programming, JTAG access, and full pin breakout for flexible interfacing.
