Intel EPC1PC8

EPC1PC8 Description

With SRAM-based devices, configuration data must be reloaded each time the device powers up, the system initializes, or when new configuration data is needed. Altera configuration devices store configuration data for SRAM-based ACEX 1K, APEX 20K, APEX II, Arria GX, Cyclone, Cyclone II, FLEX 10K, FLEX 6000, Mercury, Stratix, Stratix GX, Stratix II, and Stratix II GX devices.
