The DECA Development Kit presents a robust hardware design platform built around the Altera MAX 10 FPGA, which is the industry’s first single chip, non-volatile programmable logic devices (PLDs) to integrate the optimal set of system components. Users can now leverage the power of tremendous re-configurability paired with a high-performance, low-power FPGA system. Providing internally stored dual images with self-configuration, comprehensive design protection features, integrated ADCs and hardware to implement the Nios II 32-bit microcontroller IP, MAX10 devices are ideal solution for system management, I/O expansion, communication control planes, industrial, automotive and consumer applications.

The DECA development board is equipped with high-speed DDR3 memory, video and audio capabilities, Ethernet networking, and much more that promise many exciting applications. The DECA Development Kit contains all the tools needed to use the board in conjunction with Altera’s Quartus II Design Software.
