MAX 9000 Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
The MAX 9000 family is supported by Altera’s MAX+PLUS II
development system, a single, integrated software package that offers
schematic, text—including VHDL, Verilog HDL, and the Altera
Hardware Description Language (AHDL)—and waveform design entry,
compilation and logic synthesis, simulation and timing analysis, and
device programming. The MAX+PLUS II software provides EDIF 2 0 0
and 3 0 0, LPM, and other interfaces for additional design entry and
simulation support from other industry-standard PC- and UNIX-
workstation-based EDA tools. The MAX+PLUS II software runs on
Windows-based PCs as well as Sun SPARCstation, HP 9000 Series
700/800, and IBM RISC System/6000 workstations.

Programmable Logic Development System & Software Data Sheet.
Functional
Description
MAX 9000 devices use a third-generation MAX architecture that yields
both high performance and a high degree of utilization for most
applications. The MAX 9000 architecture includes the following elements:
■ Logic array blocks
■ Macrocells
■ Expander product terms (shareable and parallel)
■ FastTrack Interconnect
■ Dedicated inputs
■ I/O cells
Figure 1 shows a block diagram of the MAX 9000 architecture.
