Right, and you can configure the board for either the level shifter or series resistors. In the resistors case, you're actually using the internal ESD diodes to Vcc and GND to conduct current where the external input exceeds or undershoots these, respectively. >> - I'm not a newbee but I'm more famliar with Altera.

I use ISE webpack and it's clunky but works. I've heard good things about Altera. Unfortunately, there's no generic software for synthesis so you have to choose the package that goes with the device you select. -- Nate Message was sent through the cbm-hackers mailing listReceived on 2010-02-04 19:00:31
