Description

The Atmel ATDH40M prototyping system allows designers to quickly and economically evaluate Atmel’s family of AT40K/AT40KAL FPGA and AT94K Field Programmable System Level Integrated Circuit (FPSLIC™) devices and Atmel’s AT17 FPGA configuration memory devices. The ATDH40M board connects to any x86 PC via parallel port through a 10-pin header cable to program the AT40K/AT40KAL FPGA/AT94K FPSLIC, or through a parallel port cable to program the AT17 FPGA Configuration EEPROMs. The motherboard interfaces with various daughter boards in order to program different package footprints (see Table 1).
