Serial Flash EEPROM

The non-volatile Serial Flash Memory is widely used for code storage and user
settings in cost-sensitive applications such as CD and DVD players, set-top-
boxes (STB), digital-TV and cameras, graphic cards, printers, PC motherboards
and flat panel displays. These products typically run their operating code from
fast Random Access Memory (RAM), after downloading the code from the
low-cost Serial Flash Memory at power-up. Several semiconductor
manufacturers produce this device family named as 25xxx.

Serial EEPROM

These devices are electrically erasable, but they operate in a series rather than in
parallel.
Xilinx 17xx family
From the Xilinx 17xx series, the RESET Polarity can be changed only on Xilinx
17xxD/L and 17128. On devices with EPROM portion already programmed or
on new blank devices, RESET polarity is HIGH.
The current status of the Reset pin polarity is determined and displayed on the
screen after Reading the device. The polarity of the Reset pin can ONLY be
