	MaxLoader User’s Guide
HEX file	A human-readable ASCII file that represents any binary data. Each byte in
	the binary pattern is represented by two HEX characters (0-9, A-F) so that
	any of the 256 possible bytes, which include both control and unprintable
	characters, may be printed. The HEX file may also contain address or
	checksum information. The pattern represented by the HEX file may be
	represented by a binary file or any of the HEX file formats – any file format
	may contain any pattern. The names of the HEX file formats (Intel, Motorola,
	Tektronix, etc.) indicate who standardized its format and does not indicate
	anything about the pattern or the device the pattern is intended for.
I/O	Input/ Output.
JEDEC	Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (pronounced JED’eck). A group
	organized by the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) that
	has defined a standard file format for PLDs.
JEDEC file	A file conforming to a standard format that specifies the configuration and
	testing procedure for a PLD. The file is in a human-readable ASCII format
	and consists of fields that start with a letter and end with an asterisk. Fields
	specify the pattern to program into the part, whether to secure the device, a
	set of test vectors to perform a functional test, and checksums to verify the
	integrity of the file.
LCC	Leadless Chip Carrier. A square ceramic package that has no leads; Instead it
	has metal areas that are surface-mount soldered to the target circuit. This
	package is usually used only for military and aerospace applications.
	Available up to 84 pins.
Memory device	A Device that contains an array of storage locations. The device has a set of
	inputs, called address, which specify which location in the array is being
	accessed. A set of input/output pins produce the stored number (pattern)
	when the device is read, and accept a new value when the device is written or
	programmed. Additionally, there are one or more input pins that select the
	operating move (read, write, standby, etc.). Memory devices may be
	classified by whether they are volatile or nonvolatile, and whether they may
