Product Summary

The EPCS1SI8N is an FPGA. It controls the nSTATUS and CONF_DONE pins during configuration in AS mode. If the CONF_DONE signal does not go high at the end of configuration or if the signal goes high too early, the EPCS1SI8N will pulse its nSTATUS pin low to start reconfiguration. Upon successful configuration, the EPCS1SI8N releases the CONF_DONE pin, allowing the external 10-k resistor to pull this signal high. Initialization begins after the CONF_DONE goes high. After initialization, the FPGA enters user mode.
