PL-USB2-BLASTER [INTEL]

PL-USB2-BLASTER Description

The PL-USB2-BLASTER is a USB-Blaster download cable. This cable interfaces a USB port on a host computer to FPGA mounted on a printed circuit board. The Intel® FPGA Download Cable connects an FPGA placed on a printed circuit board to a USB port on a host computer. The connection transmits configuration information from the host computer to an FPGA's standard 10-pin interface. The Intel FPGA Download Cable can be used to program data into a system during production or to iteratively download configuration data to a system during prototyping.
