* 100% same as Original Altera USB Blaster Hardware Design! * Much faster & reliable than cheap low-end USB Blaster

Q: Why is this Altera programmer more expensive than those cheaper Altera programmers?

A: This Altera USB blaster is designed based on 100% original Altera USB blaster hardware soltion: FTDI's FT245+ Altera's EPM CPLD chip solution. Unlike those cheap CY hardware solution USB Blaster. The original design uses FDTI+CPLD soltuion, which is the most reliable and fast design.

Q: Is the original hardware design solution better?

A: Yes, absolutely. The original Altera USB Blaster's hardware design is much stable and faster when programming the Altera CLPD/FPGA chips. It's designed to last, providing professional download speed and stable performance.

Q: How do I distinguish the original hardare solution USB Blaster from the cheaper ones?

A: Size & price. Orginal hardware platform uses FTDI's FT245+ Altera's EPM CPLD solution, which means definitely PCB bigger size. For those so-called "Mini" type USB Blaster, they're 100% cheap low-end programmer, which can get really hot on its surface when running. For the price, even the single FTDI chip's cost is much higher than the complete low-end altera programmer set.

100% same hardware platform designed from original Altera USB Blaster. Using FTDI's FT245+Altera EPM CPLD chip soltuion, the most reliable & fast solution as Altera USB Blaster download cable.

Directly uses original Altera USB Driver.
