Figure 11–2. Single Device Configuration Circuit
Notes to Figure 11–2:
(1) The pull-up resistor should be connected to the same supply voltage as the
configuration device.
(2) The enhanced configuration devices and EPC2 devices have internal
programmable pull-ups on OE and nCS. You should only use the internal pull-ups
of the configuration device if the nSTATUS and CONF_DONE signals are pulled up
to 3.3 V or 2.5 V (not 1.8 V or 1.5 V). If external pull-ups are used, they should be
10 kΩ.
(3) The nINIT_CONF pin is available on EPC16, EPC8, EPC4, and EPC2 devices. If
nINIT_CONF is not used, nCONFIG must be pulled to V
CC
through a resistor. he
nINIT_CONF pin has an internal pull-up resistor that is always active in EPC16,
EPC8, EPC4, and EPC2 devices. These devices do not need an external pull-up
resistor on the nINIT_CONF pin.
Figure 11–3 shows how to configure multiple Stratix and Stratix GX
devices with multiple EPC2 or EPC1 configuration devices.
