CPLD
EPM2210F256, 256-pin FBGA.
Configuration, Status, and Setup Elements
J5
USB Type-B connector
Connects to the computer to enable embedded USB-Blaster JTAG.
J13
JTAG chain header
Enables and disables devices in the JTAG chain.
S8
Board settings DIP switch
Controls the MAX II CPLD EPM2210 System Controller functions
such as clock select, SMA clock input control, and which image to
load from flash memory at power-up. This switch is located at the
bottom of the board.
J1
JTAG connector
Disables embedded blaster (for use with external USB-Blasters).
U15
EPCS128 serial configuration
device
Flash memory device with a serial interface which stores
configuration data for FPGA device that supports active serial
configuration and reloads the data to the FPGA upon power-up or
reconfiguration.
