New solutions in the QuickUSB family
QuickUSB introduce a whole new family of new products focuisng on the USB market
QuickUSB solutions offer now 2 more solutions beside the QuickUSB module.
QuickUSB Santa Cruz Adapter
Plug QuickUSB into Altera Development Kits!
This nifty little adapter converts the Altera Santa Cruz headers (also called expansion or prototype headers) found on nearly every Altera Development Kit into a QuickUSB® module socket. The QuickUSB Santa Cruz Adapter comes with a CD containing example projects in Quartus II schematics, VHDL and Verilog.
As an added bonus, we are also including a ready-to-use QuickUSB component for Altera's awesome SOPC Builder at no extra charge!
QuickUSB Starter Kit
Combines QuickUSB with an Altera Cyclone II FPGA
If you want the QuickUSB® advantage integrated with an amazing FPGA, then the QuickUSB Starter Kit is what you need.
The QuickUSB starter kit includes one (1) QuickUSB module and has 0.1" headers that bring all the signals out so you can look at them on a scope or logic analyzer.
Next, there's an Altera EP2C20F256C7 Cyclone II FPGA on board. The FPGA connects to nearly every pin of the QuickUSB module and extra I/O pins go to 0.1" headers so you can wire in your circuitry. Since the FPGA is an Altera Cyclone II, you can use the free Quartus II Web Edition to design your digital circuitry. You can configure the FPGA using QuickUSB. And of course, there's a JTAG connector so you can use Quartus' integrated SignalTap II (available if TalkBack is enabled) embedded timing analyzer to debug your design or the In-System Memory Content Editor to view or edit data inside the FPGA in real time.
The Starter Kit gets its power from the USB bus, but if you need more power, there's a power connector and a 5V/2A power supply is incuded in the kit. In addition, the I/O connectors for the QuickUSB module supply unregulated 5V and the I/O connectors for the FPGA supply regulated 3.3V.
The Altera PLD gets its clock from either the QuickUSB module (48MHz) or from a clock oscillator socket that's already on board. The Cyclone II has four (4) PLLs inside and you can use them to generate nearly any clock you'd like without any external components.
