No programmable logic solution is complete without software tools. The MAX® series of CPLDs are backed by one of the easiest to use tools in the industry, Quartus® II. There is no need to learn another tool set to use CPLDs; Intel® CPLDs use the same tools as the Intel® FPGAs and HardCopy ASICs. Intel® offers many MegaCore applications that make designing quick and easy. MegaCore examples include the parallel Flash Loader used to program FPGAs from parallel Flash Memory, a full library of the familiar 74-Series of components, and the In-System Sources and Probes editor which allows the addition of Quartus® II controlled real time debugging. The MAX® Series CPLDs and the IP are included in the Free Quartus® II Web Edition Software. Download this software now by clicking on the URL link at the bottom of the page.
