[Altera]

Introduction
The ByteBlaster™ II download cable allows you to program and configure Altera® devices. This cable drives configuration data from a standard parallel printer port on your PC to the device on the PCB. Because design changes are downloaded directly to the device, prototyping is easy and you can accomplish multiple design iterations in quick succession.

Supported Devices
    You can use the ByteBlaster II download cable to download configuration data to the following Altera devices:
    ■ Stratix® series FPGAs
    ■ Cyclone® series FPGAs
    ■ MAX® series CPLDs
    ■ Arria™ GX series FPGAs
    ■ APEX™ series FPGAs
    ■ ACEX® 1K FPGAs
    ■ Mercury™ FPGAs
    ■ FLEX 10K® series FPGAs
    ■ Excalibur™ FPGAs
    You can perform in-system programming of the following devices:
    ■ Advanced configuration devices including EPC2, EPC4, EPC8, and EPC16 devices.
    ■ Serial configuration devices including EPCS1, EPCS4, EPCS16, EPCS64, and EPCS128 devices.
    In addition, you can perform SignalTap® II logic analysis.
    The ByteBlaster II download cable supports target systems using 5.0-V TTL, 3.3-V LVTTL/LVCMOS, and single-ended I/O standards from 1.5 V to 3.3 V.
