Feature Descriptions
Quad SPI Flash Memory
[Figure 1-2, callout 3]
The Quad SPI flash memory U7 provides 256 Mb of nonvolatile storage that can be used
for configuration and data storage.
• Part number: N25Q256A13ESF40G (Micron)
• Supply voltage: 3.3V
• Datapath width: 4 bits
• Data rate: various depending on Single/Dual/Quad mode and CCLK rate
Four data lines and the FPGA CCLK pin are wired to the Quad SPI flash memory. The
connections between the SPI flash memory and the FPGA are listed in
Table 1-5.
The configuration section of the 7 Series FPGAs Configuration User Guide (UG470) [Ref 5]
provides details on using the Quad SPI flash memory. Figure 1-5 shows the connections of
the Quad SPI flash memory on the AC701 board. For more details, see the Micron
N25Q256A13ESF40G data sheet
[Ref 15].
