Preliminary Information
The PE0601-xxxx is designed to support the CMX7x6x range of
FirmASIC
®
devices using their
respective Function Image
TM
.
The PE0601-xxxx is supplied with a customer specified target device fitted where xxxx in the
product code is the numerical part of the target device product code.
For example:
To evaluate a CMX7163 Function Image
TM
(FI), order a PE0601-7163.
In this document the PE0601-xxxx will be referred to generically as PE0601.
Note that the Function Image
TM
will redefine many pin functions and so the pins may be labelled
differently, as a result. The pin numbers will remain unchanged. The datasheet and user manual
appropriate to the product code and Function Image
TM
should be used as the definitive reference
of functionality, rather than this PE0601 document, which only uses generic pin names.
