General
Description
Altera offers a variety of hardware to program and configure Altera
devices. For conventional device programming, in-system programming,
and in-circuit reconfiguration, designers can choose from the hardware
options shown in
Table 1;
these options are described in more detail in
subsequent sections.

Altera Stand-Alone Programmer
The Altera Stand-Alone Programmer (PL-ASAP2), together with the
appropriate programming adapters, provides the hardware and software
needed for programming EPROM- and EEPROM-based devices, and for
configuring SRAM-based devices. PL-ASAP2 includes an LP6 Logic
Programmer card, an MPU, MAX+PLUS
®
II Programmer software
(which requires Microsoft Windows 3.x, Windows 95, or Windows NT),
and complete documentation. The MAX+PLUS II Programmer supports
device configuration for FLEX
®
10K, FLEX 8000, and FLEX 6000 devices,
and device programming for MAX
®
9000, MAX 7000, MAX 5000,
Classic
™
, and Configuration EPROM devices.

PL-ASAP2
Logic Programmer Card
The LP6 Logic Programmer card generates programming waveforms and
voltages for the MPU. The software-controlled card can be installed into
any full-length computer expansion slot in an IBM PC or compatible
computer. The LP6 card is available as part of PL-ASAP2 or individually.

PLP6
Master Programming Unit
The MPU is a hardware module that is used together with an appropriate
adapter to program Altera devices. The MPU connects to a Logic
Programmer card via a 25-pin ribbon cable. The MPU receives power
from the Logic Programmer card and does not require an external power
supply. Programming and functional test information is transmitted from
the Logic Programmer card through the ribbon cable to the MPU. A
programming status light on the MPU lights up when the unit is active.
When used with the appropriate adapter, the MPU automatically tests for
continuity between the device leads and the programming socket before
programming. It can also apply test vectors to functionally test and verify
programmed Altera devices. Test vectors can be created in waveform or
text format in the MAX+PLUS II Waveform Editor or Text Editor and
applied to the device; results can be viewed in waveform or text format.
The MPU is available as part of the PL-ASAP2 or individually.

Programming Adapters
Altera provides three types of programming adapters for Altera devices:
PLM-prefix adapters, PLE-prefix adapters, and the PLAD3-12
compatibility adapter. Each adapter contains one of the following sockets:
a zero-insertion-force dual in-line package (DIP), plastic or ceramic J-lead
(PLCC/JLCC), pin-grid array (PGA), small-outline integrated circuit
(SOIC), or quad flat pack (QFP). Most adapters for QFP devices with 100
or more pins support Altera’s QFP carriers. Adapters with an “NC” suffix
program QFP devices that are not in a QFP carrier.
Table 2 on page 680
lists the adapters required for each Altera device and package option.
f
See the
QFP Carrier & Development Socket Data Sheet
in this data book for
more information.
PLM-Prefix Adapters
The PLM-prefix adapters plug directly into the MPU. Each adapter
provides programming support for a specific device package.
Additionally, PLM-prefix adapters (except the PLMJ1213 and PLMT1064)
support functional testing of programmed Altera devices. The PLMJ1213
and PLMT1064 adapters can program the Configuration EPROMs used to
configure FLEX 10K, FLEX 8000, and FLEX 6000 devices.
PLE-Prefix Adapters
The PLE-prefix adapters plug into the PLAD3-12 compatibility adapter,
which in turn plugs into the MPU. Each PLE-prefix adapter provides
programming support for a specific Classic device.
PLAD3-12 Compatibility Adapter
The PLAD3-12 compatibility adapter plugs directly into the MPU. This
adapter allows PLE-prefix adapters to be used with the MPU. See
Table 2.
