Functional Description<br />

1 The flash memory devices in the dual P30 or P33 CFI flash solution must have the<br />

same memory density from the same device family and manufacturer. In the<br />

Quartus II software version 9.1 SP1 onwards, dual P30 or P33 flash support is<br />

available in the PFL megafunction.<br />

Programming Quad SPI <strong>Flash</strong><br />

You can also use the JTAG interface in <strong>Altera</strong> CPLDs to program a quad SPI flash<br />

memory device with the PFL megafunction. The PFL megafunction instantiated in the<br />

<strong>Altera</strong> CPLD functions as a bridge between the CPLD JTAG programming interface<br />

and the quad SPI flash memory device interface that connects to the <strong>Altera</strong> CPLD I/O<br />

pins. You can connect up to four identical quad SPI flashes in parallel to implement<br />

more configuration data storage.<br />

1 When connecting quad SPI flashes in parallel, use identical flash memory devices<br />

with the same memory density from the same device family and manufacturer. In the<br />

Quartus II software version 10.0 onwards, quad SPI flash support is available in the<br />

PFL megafunction.<br />

Figure 3 shows an <strong>Altera</strong> CPLD functioning as a bridge to program the quad SPI flash<br />

memory device through the JTAG interface.<br />
