... Future Technology Devices International Ltd. Document Reference No.: FT_000198 Morph-IC- compact, yet powerful FPGA module which is capable of synthesising LSI (Large Scale Integration) designs using the embedded Altera Cyclone-II FPGA. Communication between the FPGA and carried out via the FTDI FT2232H, a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mbit/s) USB bridge. Sub-100ms FPGA programming/re-programming makes Morph-IC-II ideal for applications which require users to reconfigure hardware functionality „ ...

... For example the I/O can be operated at 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V. This provides added flexibility to the designer. Morph-IC-II is shown in Fig. 1. The module has 4 connectors giving access to all the FPGA I/Os plus a JTAG header, that can be used to interface to Morph-IC-II with SignalTap Analyser (a function included in the Quartus-II package). SignalTap can be used to display the waveform of every pin of the FPGA. ...

... This mode can transmit data at higher rates than asynchronous 245 FIFO. These signals are only available on channel A of the FT2232H chip therefore; Morph-IC-II uses channel A for the FIFO interface as opposed to MorphIC-1K which has the FIFO interface in channel B. This leaves channel B available on Morph-IC- used to program the FPGA ...
