Hello sir, I am designing a hardware multipurpose board using STRATIX 3 FPGA(EP3SL340F1517C3N). I have never worked on Fpga practically. So kindly let me know how to interface this Fpga with...

Thanks!

In case of RS485, you suggested me to use MAX3485 instead of MAX485 to solve the voltage level problem. In order to connect FPGA to my PC through RS232, I am supposed to use MAX232. But this may again create voltage problems I suppose!? Will I have to search for another device in MAX series to make this easier?
