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.
