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 Programming Unit
The APU is a hardware module that is used together with an appropriate
adapter to program Altera devices. The APU connects to a PC via the
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port and receives power from a standard wall
power adapter. Programming and functional test information is
transmitted from the PC through the USB port connection to the APU. A
programming status light on the APU lights up when the unit is active.

Altera Programming Hardware Data Sheet
When used with the appropriate adapter, the APU 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 APU will also be supported by the Quartus
TM
II development
software in the second half of 2001.

PL-APU
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
configuring SRAM-based devices. PL-ASAP2 includes an LP6 Logic
Programmer Card and MPU, the MAX+PLUS II Programmer software
(which requires Microsoft Windows 98, Windows NT, or Windows 2000),
and complete documentation. The MAX+PLUS II Programmer software
supports device programming for MAX
®
9000, MAX 7000, MAX 3000A,
Classic
TM
, and configuration 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 via the 25-pin ribbon cable to the MPU. A
programming status light on the MPU lights up when the unit is active.

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 (ZIF) 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.

QFP Carrier & Development Socket Data Sheet.
Table 2 lists the adapters required for each Altera device and package
option. These adapters are supported by both the PL-APU and PL-ASAP2
programmers.
