Devices that enable active serial (AS) x1 or AS x41 setup schemes can support Intel Serial or quad-serial FPGA configuration. More than 100,000 program-erase cycles for reprogrammable memory. Support for memory sector write prevention utilizing status register bits. Using a single operation code, fast read, extended dual input fast read, and extended quad input fast read of the whole memory are all possible. Utilizing the SRunner software driver, an external CPU can be reprogrammed. The SRunner software driver offers support for in-system programming (ISP). Intel FPGA Download Cable II, Intel FPGA Download Cable, or Intel FPGA Ethernet Cable offer ISP support. The bits are set to 1 and the memory array is first erased.
Active and standby power modes are supported by EPCQ-A devices. The gadget is enabled and in active power mode when the nCS signal is weak. While the EPCQ-A device is operating in active power mode, the FPGA is setup. The device is disabled but stays in active power mode when the nCS signal is high until all internal cycles, such as write or erase operations, are finished. After then, the EPCQ-A gadget enters standby power mode. The VCC supply current for the device's active and standby power modes is listed in the ICC1 and ICC0 parameters, respectively.
