altera new bee

Hi, I'd like to learn programming a micro chip. I've heard the Altera is popular. Which one should I specifically deal with, and how do I build a burner (programming it) for it? (I need a circuit diagram)



Thanks



You can choose any one you like, but you have to think about whether you are going to get a devleopment board or make your own. Go to

and see what suits you. Cyclone is a good series to start with, as they are relatively cheap, and you can prototype boards yourself if you wish. Just do a google search for cyclone schematics, and you will come up with quit ea bit. My web page also has schematics for my dev. board, so you can maybe get some helpful info from there

Xilinx is number one. Might as well start using the dominant number one company.
