PA900-DP-PP – 40-Pin DIP Socket to 44-Pin PLCC Emulator Adapter (Altera 900 / 910)

Overview

PA900-DP-PP is a PLCC emulator adapter designed for Altera 900 and 910 devices. As a result, engineers can evaluate 40-pin DIP devices using systems that require a 44-pin PLCC emulator interface.

On the top side, the adapter provides a 40-pin DIP socket on 0.100″ (2.54 mm) pitch. Therefore, it supports DIP device insertion and common emulator cable male plugs used in lab workflows.

On the bottom side, the adapter presents a 44-pin PLCC plug. Consequently, it inserts directly into PLCC emulator sockets without additional cabling.

This adapter uses device-specific wiring rather than 1:1 pin mapping. Instead, it aligns clock, input, I/O, and power pins between the DIP device and the PLCC footprint. The Adapter Wiring table below lists the exact connections.
