Waveshare USB Blaster V2 Download Cable, compatible with ALTERA USB Blaster FPGA/CPLD programmer, high-speed FT245+CPLD solution

USB Blaster V2, ALTERA Programmer & Debugger

Waveshare USB Blaster V2 Download Cable, compatible with ALTERA USB Blaster FPGA/CPLD programmer. The USB Blaster Download Cable interfaces a USB port on a host computer to an Altera FPGA mounted on a printed circuit board. The cable sends configuration data from the PC to a standard 10-pin header connected to the FPGA. You can use the USB Blaster cable to iteratively download configuration data to a system during prototyping or to program data into the system during production.

It supports most of the ALTERA FPGA/CPLD devices, Active Serial Configuration devices, Enhanced Configuration devices, and supports AS, PS, JTAG three download modes.
