The Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. CoolRunner-II evaluation board incorporates the XC2C256 CPLD from Xilinx ® -the world leader in programmable logic devices. This board is designed for both high performance and low power applications. The XC2C256 device consists of sixteen Function Blocks inter-connected by a low power Advanced Interconnect Matrix (AIM). The AIM feeds 40 true and complement inputs to each Function Block. The Function Blocks consist of a 40 by 56 P-term PLA and 16 macrocells which contain numerous configuration bits that allow for combinational or registered modes of operation.

	The Nu Horizons Electronics Coolrunner-II evaluation platform is Picoblaze ready.
	Contact your local Nu Horizons Electronics FAE for the design examples.

With the 10X15 prototyping area, engineers can interface their design to the XC2C256 device easily. Four communication interfaces are available -(1) RS232, (1) Parallel, (1) I² C, and (1) SPI interface. Three memory devices are also available for user I/ F, 16Kbit I² C EEPROM, 1Mbit SPI Serial Flash device and 64KX16 SRAM. Four push buttons, 8 switches, 8 user LED's 4 digit 7 segment LCD display XC9572XL-7 TQ100C for 5V I/ O and Parallel port controller interface. The board is designed to support multiple user concepts for today's high end, low
power applications.
