Questions answered in these manuals
What are the minimum system requirements to use the ATF15xx-DK3 kit?
You need a Pentium‑class PC running Windows XP, 98, NT 4.0 or 2000, at least 4 MB RAM, 200 MB free disk space, a parallel printer port, a 9 V DC supply with 500 mA current, and an SVGA monitor.
Which I/O voltage levels can be selected on the development board?
The board allows selection of 5 V, 3.3 V, 2.5 V, or 1.8 V for I/O voltage supply.
How many pins are required for the JTAG ISP interface?
Four pins are required: TCK, TMS, TDI and TDO.
What cable should be used for programming ATF1500ASV devices?
Use a Rev. 4 or later Atmel‑ISP cable, which contains special hardware for low‑voltage devices.
What is Atmel's Logic Doubling architecture?
Logic Doubling is Atmel's CPLD architecture that provides 100 % connectivity, wider fan‑in, independent macrocell output‑enable, and dual feedback paths to increase usable logic resources.
How many global clocks does the ATF15xx family provide?
The ATF15xx family provides three global clocks, each selectable for rising or falling edge polarity.
