The Xilinx XCF01S EEPROM is responsible for configuring the FPGA when the system is turned on or reset. We selected the XCF01S because it is recommended by Xilinx as the best solution for programming the Spartan-3A FPGA used on the control board. The XCF01S is ideal because it has sufficient memory to hold the entire FPGA program, and also minimizes the number of FPGA-to-EEPROM leads necessary for programming the FPGA. | The Xilinx XCF01S EEPROM is responsible for configuring the FPGA when the system is turned on or reset.
