Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and package type against the official datasheet to ensure compatibility with the target FPGA family. Confirm that the component meets the required environmental specifications for the intended application environment. Check for any obsolescence notices or lifecycle status updates from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement decisions.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Selection Notes

Select this component when a non-volatile solution is required for SRAM-based FPGA initialization. Ensure the design accommodates the PLCC-20 package footprint and the 3V to 5.25V power supply requirements. Consider the 10 MHz clock speed limitation when designing the configuration circuit timing constraints.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Part Context

This part belongs to the EPC2 family of Enhanced Configuration Devices. These components are distinct from volatile SRAM configurations as they retain data without power. The EPC2 series is widely used in legacy and current Altera FPGA designs to provide reliable boot-up sequences and configuration integrity.

Configuration PROMs For FPGAs Replacement Considerations

Consult official replacement guides for equivalent capacity and interface compatible devices. Verify pinout compatibility if substituting with other EPC2 variants or newer generation configuration controllers.
