FLEX 10KE Embedded Programmable Logic Family Data Sheet
Conguration Schemes
The configuration data for a FLEX 10KE device can be loaded with one of
five configuration schemes (see
Table 84), chosen on the basis of the target
application. An EPC2, EPC1, or EPC1441 configuration device, intelligent
controller, or the JTAG port can be used to control the configuration of a
FLEX 10KE device, allowing automatic configuration on system
power-up.
Multiple FLEX 10KE devices can be configured in any of the five
configuration schemes by connecting the configuration enable (nCE) and
configuration enable output (nCEO) pins on each device. Additional
FLEX 10K, FLEX 10KA, FLEX 10KE, and FLEX 6000 devices can be
configured in the same serial chain.
