1. Replacing Serial EEPROMs with User Flash Memory in Altera MAX Series

MAX® II, MAX V, and MAX 10 devices have a user flash memory (UFM) block. You can use the UFM block to replace on-board flash and EEPROM memory devices to store ASSP or processor configuration bits, or electronic identification (ID) information for a board during manufacturing. The logic capacity of MAX II, MAX V, and MAX 10 devices allows integration of system power-on reset (POR), interface bridging, and I/O expansion designs in addition to these serial flash capabilities.
