Configuration PROMs for FPGA Programming
Configuration PROMs (Programmable Read-Only Memory) are essential non-volatile memory devices that store FPGA configuration bitstreams during power-off states. These electrically erasable memory solutions enable reliable FPGA initialization and reconfiguration in aerospace, automotive, industrial, and telecommunications applications.
Key Features of Configuration PROMs
-
Non-Volatile Storage: Retains FPGA configuration data during power cycles
-
Electrically Erasable: Supports in-system updates and field reconfiguration
-
High Reliability: Designed for mission-critical embedded systems
-
Fast Configuration: Enables rapid FPGA boot-up sequences
-
System Integrity: Ensures consistent FPGA behavior across power cycles
Applications
Configuration PROMs are widely deployed in high-reliability systems including aerospace flight controllers, automotive safety systems, industrial automation, medical imaging equipment, and telecommunications infrastructure where FPGA-based designs require guaranteed configuration integrity.
