Power Up
• The Intel Agilex power supplies power following the guidelines in the Power-Up Sequence Requirements for Intel Agilex
Devices section of the Intel Agilex Power Management User Guide.
• A device-wide power-on reset (POR) asserts after the power supplies reach the correct operating voltages. The external
power supply ramp must not be slower than the minimum ramping rate until the supplies reach the operating voltage.
•
Internal circuitry pulls the SDM_IO0, SDM_IO8, and SDM_IO16 low internally. Internal circuitry pulls the remaining
SDM_IO pins to a weak high.
SDM Startup
•
The SDM samples the MSEL pins during power-on.
•
If MSEL is set to JTAG, the SDM remains in the Startup state.
•
The SDM runs firmware stored in the on-chip boot ROM and enters the Idle state until the host drives nCONFIG high. The
host should not drive nCONFIG high before all clocks are stable.
Idle
•
The SDM remains in IDLE state until the external host initiates configuration by driving the nCONFIG pin from low to high.
Alternatively, the SDM enters the idle state after it exits the error state.
Configuration Start
•
After the SDM receives a configuration initiation request (nCONFIG = HIGH), the SDM signals the beginning of
configuration by driving the nSTATUS pin high.
• Upon receiving configuration data, the SDM performs authentication, decryption and decompression.
•
The nCONFIG pin remains high during configuration and in user mode. The host monitors the nSTATUS pin continuously
for configuration errors.
Configuration Pass
•
The SDM drives the CONF_DONE pin high after successfully receiving full bitstream.
•
The CONF_DONE pin signals an external host that bitstream transfer is successful.
