I decided to interrupt my Cyclone II Handbook dissection series in order to build the voltage regulators needed for the Saturn Project. The EP2C8 Cyclone II FPGA we have on our breakout board requires nine voltage supplies: Voltage Supply Name Description Voltage Level VCCINT These are internal logic array voltage supply pins. VCCINT also supplies [ READ MORE ]
I’ve always been amazed at the power and most importantly the flexibility of an FPGA (Field-Programmable gate array). I first learned about the FPGA after spending uncountable hours connecting jumper wires between several 74xx series IC’s in my undergrad digital logic course. One giant pile of reconfigurable logic. Brilliant! Goodbye hours of tedious, mind-numbing wire [ READ MORE ]
