1. LED Blink Using Power Sequencing in Altera MAX Series

Altera® MAX® II, MAX V, and MAX 10 devices can be used in this example application.

Powering components off and on—with minimal system intervention, also known as blink—is a valuable power savings technique. The supported Altera devices are well suited for this due to their simple power sequencing and proprietary features. This application note illustrates a simple method for blinking an LED by using the auto stop and auto start capability of the supported Altera devices.
