Abstract
An electronic device includes an Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), a programmable logic device connected to the EPROM, and a single package enclosing the EPROM and the programmable logic device. The electronic device provides combined functionality that allows the EPROM to store configuration data for a programmable logic device, a Static Random Access Memory (SRAM), or an external programmable logic device, while the programmable logic device is configured to implement another function, such as a Joint Test Access Group interface function, an address decoder function, or a state machine function.
