  • Configuration memory integrated circuit
    Patent number: 6614259
    Abstract: A configuration memory for storing information which is in-system programmable. The programming of the configuration memory may be performed using JTAG (IEEE Standard 1149.1) instructions. Furthermore, the configuration of a programmable logic device using the configuration data in the configuration memory may be initiated with a JTAG instruction. Pull-up resistors are incorporated within the configuration memory package.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 21, 2001
    Date of Patent: September 2, 2003
    Assignee: Altera Corporation
    Inventors: Chris Couts-Martin, Alan Herrmann
