Honored ContributorMaximum Size of Flash Memory Supported by CycloneIII
Dear Host,
Please tell me, how much maximum density of Flash Memory is supported by Cyclone III EP3C120F780I?15 Replies
Altera_ForumPlease tell me one more point that i have used Cyclone III DSP Development Kit. On this kit, (32Mx16) Flash Memory is used. Part Number is S29GL512N. In this flash, nbyte signal is used for the 8-bit and 16-bit selection. The flash is successfully programmed.
Now, i have design FPGA card and use 1Gb Flash Memory having part number S29GL01GS. Its size is 128MB. In this memory, nbyte signal is not present. I have write my software that was used with previous memory. How can i accommodate the nbyte pin in Flash controller. If i run the Test program on it, the program is failed. Please provide the remedy for this issue. I am very worried about this fault. Regards, Mohsin Hayat- Altera_Forum
Ah Sir, through our conversation, i got your point. I am using it for General Purpose in my design.I am not bound for size. There are limitations in Flash Controller. Am i right?

Sorry. I though you meant to connect to a flash memory for general purpose use in your design.
If you indeed want to configure fpga from a parallel flash, what you find in the datasheet is true: you are bound to the listed devices families. You could also exceed those flash sizes, but you must drive the extra address pins - Altera_Forum
Dear Sir,
I am bit confused with this page on Designing Guide line for Cyclone III attached herewidth. - Altera_Forum
The maximum size doesn't depend on the FPGA model itself, but on the flash controller you implement inside.
