General

The Altera Classic
power logic integration. Fabricated on advanced CMOS technology,
Classic devices also have a Turbo-only version, which is described in this
data sheet.
Classic devices support 100% TTL emulation and can easily integrate
multiple PAL- and GAL-type devices with densities ranging from 300 to
900 usable gates. The Classic family provides pin-to-pin logic delays as
low as 10 ns and counter frequencies as high as 100 MHz. Classic devices
are available in a wide range of packages, including ceramic dual in-line
package (CerDIP), plastic dual in-line package (PDIP), plastic J-lead chip
carrier (PLCC), ceramic J-lead chip carrier (JLCC), pin-grid array (PGA),
and small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) packages.
EPROM-based Classic devices can reduce active power consumption
without sacrificing performance. This reduced power consumption
makes the Classic family well suited for a wide range of low-power
applications.
Classic devices are 100% generically tested devices in windowed
packages and can be erased with ultra-violet (UV) light, allowing design
changes to be implemented quickly.
Classic devices use sum-of-products logic and a programmable register.
The sum-of-products logic provides a programmable-AND/fixed-OR
structure that can implement logic with up to eight product terms. The
programmable register can be individually programmed for D, T, SR, or
JK flipflop operation or can be bypassed for combinatorial operation. In
addition, macrocell registers can be individually clocked either by a global
clock or by any input or feedback path to the AND array. Altera’s
proprietary programmable I/O architecture allows the designer to
program output and feedback paths for combinatorial or registered
operation in both active-high and active-low modes. These features make
it possible to implement a variety of logic functions simultaneously.
Classic devices are supported by Altera’s MAX+PLUS II development
system, a single, integrated package that offers schematic, text—including
VHDL, Verilog HDL, and the Altera Hardware Description Language
(AHDL)—and waveform design entry, compilation and logic synthesis,
simulation and timing analysis, and device programming. The
MAX+PLUS II software provides EDIF 2 0 0 and 3 0 0, LPM, VHDL,
Verilog HDL, and other interfaces for additional design entry and
simulation support from other industry-standard PC- and workstation-
based EDA tools. The MAX+PLUS II software runs on Windows-based
PCs, as well as Sun SPARCstation, HP 9000 Series 700/800, and IBM RISC
System/6000 workstations. These devices also contain on-board logic test
circuitry to allow verification of function and AC specifications during
standard production flow.
