AT17C65-10NI

AT17C65-10NI is a family of serial Configuration Proms for FPGAs that are manufactured by AT&T Microelectronics. This type of memory has been designed to store and configure one or more field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) that contain programmable gates and interconnect elements, allowing the user to configure the device according to their application’s needs. This type of memory is used in a wide range of applications, from industrial to telecommunications.

The AT17C65-10NI is a low profile nonvolatile PROM that configures FPGA designs. It is available in a range of voltages (3V, 5V, 12V, 15V), and can configure up to 10 FPGAs. It has a programmable programming algorithm, with which users can tailor the programming of the memory. Its programmable timing allows for the configuration of more than one FPGA in series.

The AT17C65-10NI\'s chief advantage is its simple usage and reliability. It utilizes a two-wire serial data bus and an industry standard interface that enables communication with FPGA’s. This memory can be used with either a simple microprocessor or a full FPGA design. Its programming and verification algorithm can be tailored to the needs of the user. It does not require external programming hardware, making it easy to use and cost effective.

The working principle of AT17C65-10NI is simple. A high level of the data bus signal denotes an active output that configures the FPGA. The data line is driven by the program control signal. Upon receiving a valid command, the device configures the data by emulating a series of programming commands corresponding to FPGA in the prescribed order. After configure the FPGA, it turns off the output and waits for its next input. The AT17C65-10NI can also be programmed to take data over an external source (e.g. EPROM). Multiple FPGAs can be programmed in series by appropriately setting the program control signals.

In the modern world, FPGAs are widely used in a variety of applications. They are used in the fields of industrial engineering, telecommunications, consumer electronics, scientific research, and aerospace. AT17C65-10NI can play an integral role in many of these applications. It can be used with FPGAs to store configuration information, allowing the user to customize their FPGA devices, offering them the opportunity to maximize efficiency in their applications.

In conclusion, AT17C65-10NI is a useful family of serial Configuration Proms for FPGAs that are specifically designed to store and configure one or more FPGAs. The device is versatile, efficient and reliable, making it perfect for a wide range of applications, from industrial to telecommunications. The memory’s programmable programming algorithm and timing allow it to be tailored to a range of needs.
