• Enables secure retention of design data across power cycles

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Applications

• Configuration memory for ACEX 1K devices
• Configuration memory for APEX 20K series devices
• Configuration memory for FLEX 10KE and FLEX 10KA devices
• Configuration memory for Mercury devices

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VTC32' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm end-of-life status as legacy configuration devices may have limited availability. Ensure compatibility with the target FPGA family's voltage requirements before procurement.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when configuring older Altera architectures such as ACEX, APEX, or FLEX families that require external serial configuration memory. Evaluate pin count and package size constraints against the PCB layout. Consider newer EPC series devices if migrating to Cyclone or Stratix platforms requiring higher density.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

This part belongs to the legacy Enhanced Configuration Device (EPC) family produced by Altera. These devices were specifically engineered to support the configuration needs of early programmable logic families. The product line has largely been superseded by newer generation configuration controllers integrated into modern FPGA architectures.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Replacement Considerations

Official substitutes include other EPC series parts like EPC16 or EPC8 for higher capacity needs. For modern replacements, consult Intel FPGA documentation regarding EPCQ or EPCS series devices compatible with current Cyclone and Arria families.
