Altera EPCS4SI8N

EPCS4SI8N Description
To configure a system using an SRAM-based device, you must load the configuration data each time you power on the device. The EPCS device EPCS4SI8N is a flash memory device that can store configuration data that you use for FPGA configuration purposes after powering on. You can use the EPCS device on all FPGAs that support AS x1 configuration scheme. For an 8-pin SOIC package, you can migrate vertically from the EPCS1 device to the EPCS4 or EPCS16 device. For a 16-pin SOIC package, you can migrate vertically from the EPCS64 device to the EPCS128 device. With the new data decompression feature supported, you can determine using which EPCS device to store the configuration data for configuring your FPGA.

EPCS4SI8N Features
Supports active serial (AS) x1 configuration scheme Easy-to-use four-pin interface Low cost, low pin count, and non-volatile memory Low current during configuration and near-zero standby mode current 2.7-V to 3.6-V operation EPCS1, EPCS4, and EPCS16 devices are available in an 8-pin small-outline integrated circuit (SOIC) package EPCS64 and EPCS128 devices available in 16-pin SOIC package Enables the Nios processor to access unused flash memory through AS memory interface Reprogrammable memory with more than 100,000 erase or program cycles Write protection support for memory sectors using status register bits In-system programming (ISP) support with SRunner software driver ISP support with USB-Blaster, EthernetBlaster, or ByteBlaster II download cables
