The Altera DE2 FPGA from Terasic is one extraordinary platform to mould the clay just the way we choose to shape it. Exploring FPGA with DE2 is made easy as the development board acquires all the required peripherals to play with.
Altera DE2-115 with LCD
The DE2 series has consistently been at the forefront of educational development boards by a number of interfaces to accommodate various application needs.
The Cyclone EP4CE115 device equipped on the DE2-115 features 114,480 logic elements (LEs), up to 3.9-Mbits of RAM, and 266 multipliers. In addition, it delivers an unprecedented combination of low cost and functionality, and lower power Cyclone devices.
The DE2-115 adopts interfaces to support mainstream protocols including Gigabit Ethernet (GbE). A High-Speed Mezzanine Card (HSMC) connector is provided to support additional functionality and connectivity via HSMC daughter cards and cables. For large-scale ASIC prototype development, a connection can be made with two or more FPGA-based boards by means of a HSMC cable through the HSMC connector.
