Altera 7000S hardware
In this second article in the series we take a closer look at some of the hardware features of the 7000S-CPLD from Altera, this should help explain the process of programming the rev counter circuit into the CPLD.After last month’s look at the rev counter circuit we now delve a bit deeper into the internal structure of a CPLD and use the Verilog hardware description software to configure the logic in a CPLD chip. For more in-depth information the Altera web site has a rich source of support documentation.
