In-System Configuration – ISC (Also Referred to as ISP)
On-the-Fly Reconfiguration – OTF
This mode is the de-facto standard used to program the CPLD when it is attached to a PCB. The
term ISC can also be used interchangeably with ISP (In-system Programming). ISC or ISP elim-
inates the need for an external device programmer, and the devices can be soldered to a PCB
without being preprogrammed.
In the ISC mode, the logic operation of the ATF1504BE is halted and the embedded configura-
tion memory is programmed. The device is programmed by first erasing the configuration
memory in the CPLD and loading the new configuration data into the memory, which in-turn con-
figures the PLD for functional mode. When the device is in the ISC programming mode, all user
I/Os are held in the high impedance state.
The ISC mode is best suited for working with the ATF1504BE device in a design development or
production environment. Configuration of the ATF1504BE device done via a Download Cable

this mode, the PC is typically the controlling device that communicates with the CPLD.

In this mode, the CPLD design pattern stored in the internal configuration memory can be modi-
fied while the previous design pattern is operating with minimal disturbance to the operation of
the current design. The new configuration will take affect after the OTF programming process is
completed and the OTF mode is exited.
The configuration data for any design is stored in the internal configuration memory. Once the
configuration data is transferred to the internal static registers of the CPLD, the CPLD operates
with the design pattern and the configuration memory is free to be re-loaded with a new set of
configuration data. The design pattern due to the new configuration content is activated through
an initialization cycle that occurs on exiting the OTF mode or after the next power up sequence.

mode. The processor is the controlling device that communicates with the CPLD and uses con-
figuration data stored in the external memory to configure the CPLD.
