Board Design Guidelines for SmartFusion2 SoC and IGLOO2 FPGAs
AC393 Application Note Revision 14.0 17
2.4 Limiting Surge Current During Device Reset
After device power-up, if the application asserts the DEVRST_N pin and there are no decoupling
capacitors on the board, additional surge current on VDD may be observed during assertion of
DEVRST_N or during a digest check operation. This section describes how to minimize additional surge
current during SmartFusion2/IGLOO2 device reset operation. This additional surge current does not
occur during device power-up; it is applicable only when DEVRST_N is asserted.

1. The unused VDDI# pins must be connected to VSS through a 10 KΩ resistor. The VDDI# pins can be grouped and connected to
one 10 KΩ resistor or a 10 K Ω resistor can be used for each VDDI# bank, it completely depends on the board layout. For the
previous design the unused VDDI# pins were DNC, and cannot create functionality issue. Microsemi recommends connecting to
Ground to improve the board reliability.
