Configuration Devices for ACEX, APEX, FLEX & Mercury Devices Data Sheet

Functional
Description

With SRAM-based devices, configuration data must be reloaded each
time the system initializes, or when new configuration data is needed.
Altera configuration devices store configuration data for SRAM-based
ACEX, APEX, FLEX, and Mercury devices.

Table 1

lists Altera

configuration devices.

Table 2

lists the configuration device used with each ACEX, APEX, FLEX

and Mercury device.
