Configuration Devices for SRAM-Based LUT Devices Data SheetAll Altera configuration devices are programmable using Alteraprogramming hardware in conjunction with the Quartus II orMAX+PLUS II software. In addition, many third part programmers offerprogramming hardware that supports Altera configuration devices.1 An EPC2 device can be programmed with a POF generated foran EPC1 or EPC1441 device. An EPC1 device can beprogrammed using a POF generated for an EPC1441 device.EPC2 configuration devices can be programmed in-system through itsindustry-standard 4-pin JTAG interface. ISP capability in the EPC2devices provides ease in prototyping and FPGA functionality. Whenprogramming multiple EPC2 devices in a JTAG chain, the Quartus II andMAX+PLUS II software and other programming methods employconcurrent programming to simultaneously program multiple devicesand reduce programming time. EPC2 devices can be programmed anderased up to 100 times.After programming an EPC2 device in-system, FPGA configuration canbe initiated by the EPC2 INIT_CONF JTAG instruction.
