ALTERA is a comprehensive and complete teaching tool to teach study the latest PLDs (Programmable Logic Devices). It is most suitable to be used as a learning tool to study CPLD/FPGA theory, fundamental and application based on renowned manufacturers such as ALTERA. The system is bundled with its comprehensive hardware, development software and documentation to provides all thesolution to the instructor and student to excel in CPLDs and FPGAs introduction, programming and interfacing. This unit is fitted with the new ALTERA 5CEFA2 FPGA as standard, but the main base unit is flexible to accept others Altera FPGA
chipset module.

FEATURES:

• Portable and robust unit, mounted on a sturdy metal console case.
• Complete unit with built-in programmer and wide range of application modules on- board.
