Serial Configuration Devices

Serial Conguration Block Diagram

Altera’s serial configuration devices are the lowest cost configuration devices in the industry. Specifically engineered for maximum efficiency, they deliver an advanced feature set at a minimal cost. Altera's configuration devices are priced lower than one-time-programmable solutions while offering in-system programmable (ISP) and reprogramming capabilities, providing a significant advantage over other configuration solutions.

Using an Altera® serial configuration device is one of the simplest ways to configure Stratix® and Cyclone® series FPGAs. All of these Altera FPGAs can be configured by a single Altera configuration device.

Altera’s serial configuration devices are an ideal complement to the Cyclone series of FPGAs in addressing high-volume, price-sensitive applications. Altera’s serial configuration devices enable an FPGA and configuration device combination that provides a total system-on-a-programmable-chip (SOPC) solution at the lowest possible price point. Advanced features such as ISP and flash memory access give you maximum performance for the lowest cost and smallest area. Quartus® II design software further enhances the design experience with advanced design features.
