programmed. Once the security bit is set it is impossible to
verify (read) or program the PEEL until the entire device
has first been erased with the bulk-erase function.
Signature Word
ICC
The signature word feature allows a 64-bit code to be
programmed into the PEEL18LV8Z if the software option is
used. The code can be read back even after the security
bit has been set. The signature word can be used to
identify the pattern programmed into the device or to
record the design revision, etc.

The PEEL18LV8Z provides a special EEPROM security bit
that prevents unauthorized reading or copying of designs
programmed into the device. The PLD programmer sets
the security bit, either at the conclusion of the programming
cycle or as a separate step, after the device has been
