User Guide
1. Overview
The MAX ® 10 Evaluation Kit allows is an entry-level board for evaluating the MAX 10
FPGA technology and Enpirion ® PowerSoC regulators. You can use this kit to do the
following:
■ Develop designs for the 10M08S, 144-EQFP FPGA
■ Measure FPGA power (VCC_CORE and VCC_IO)
■ Bridge between different I/O voltages
■ Read and write to the FPGA’s NOR flash memory
■ Use the FPGA’s analog-to-digital converter embedded block to measure incoming
analog signals
■ Interface to external functions or devices via Arduino UNO R3 connectors or
through-hole vias
■ Reuse the kit’s PCB board and schematic as a model for your design
