FPGAS and Programmable Devices
CONFIGURE THE DEVICE
FPGA configuration devices are an ideal complement to FPGA. Our serial configuration
device is designed to support a specific FPGA family.
FPGA configuration devices are an ideal complement to FPGA, and our line configuration devices are designed to support specific FPGA series products.
FPGA devices are the simplest configuration devices in the industry:
● These devices are subjected to regression testing through tools and are fully supported by technical support
● Ensure compatibility with all intellectual property (IP) modules, such as serial memory plus war or ASMI parallel IP modules
● Aimed at achieving maximum efficiency
● Provides in-system programmable (ISP) and reprogramming performance for primary programmable device noncomers
FPGA configuration settings each have the following advantages:
● Reliable: It can usually support at least 00.000 operation cycles per sector and a data retention time of up to 20 years. Therefore,
its management is very simple, no need for corrections and bad module management.
● Low pin count requirements: Quad-core SPI flash devices require 6 pins to ground but only 4 pins are required when used as a substitute for an EPCQ-A device
● high bandwidth
The FPGA configuration device works with dedicated logic in Cyclone' , Stratie and Arrla devices to implement reliable remote system updates.
Dedicated complex circuitry guarantees "always-on" functionality by ensuring that in the event of an update or configuration error,
the FPGA can always return to the correct operating state.

CHARACTERISTIC
FPGA CONFIGURATION DEVICES PROVIDE ADVANCED FEATURE SETS IN PACKAGING THAT SAVES CIRCUIT BOARD SPACE,
INCLUDING SYSTEM PROGRAMMING CAPABILITIES ISPI AND FLASH ACCESS.
SERIAL CONFIGURATION DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS
ISP IS VERY FLEXIBLE.
All serial configuration devices support ISP. The active serial programming interface provides ISP support in serial configuration devices.
When the design enters mass production, if the designer uses the secondary programming configuration equipment, he must remove these devices, replace
them with new models, and update the system. With the ISP feature in Intel serial configuration devices, you can easily update the system using
on-board processors or programming cables, which significantly reduces downtime and reduces costs.
If the circuit board area is limited, the serial configuration device can be programmed using the JTAG port (via FPGA). Quartus' Prime software
can automatically download FlashLoader design So that FPGA connection serial

SMALL SHAPE PACKAGING SAVES VALUABL E CIRCUIT BOARD SPACE
One of the most important factors in tota! design cost jis board space. The larger, the board space in the solution room, the higher the total cost.
The circuit board space occupied by Inte!l's serial configuration equipment is Only, 30 square meters, which reduces the circuit board
space occupied by the entire 'SOPC solution. Vertical migration is supported on all serial configuration devices using the same package.
