Introduction
The DE10-Lite presents a robust hardware design platform built around the Altera MAX 10 FPGA.
The MAX 10 FPGA is well equipped to provide cost effective, single-chip solutions in control
plane or data path applications and industry-leading programmable logic for ultimate design
flexibility. With MAX 10 FPGA, you can get lower power consumption / cost and higher
performance. When you need high-volume applications, including protocol bridging, motor control
drive, analog to digital conversion, image processing, and handheld devices, the MAX 10 Lite
FPGA is your best choice.
The DE10-Lite development board includes hardware such as on-board USB Blaster, 3-axis
accelerometer, video capabilities and much more. By leveraging all of these capabilities, the
DE10-Lite is the perfect solution for showcasing, evaluating, and prototyping the true potential of
the Altera MAX 10 FPGA.
The DE10-Lite contains all components needed to use the board in conjunction with a computer
that runs the Microsoft Windows XP or later.
