CycloneXLP device

It is observed that all the outputs of cyclone X Lp device goes to high state till the configuration is completed. This will be a problem when the output is driving a device which require low on power up. How to make the outputs of the FPGA low on power up. It should be high when the user programs it. Please suggest a solution.

    Hi,
    review device handboook to understand about weak pullup at unconfigured pins.

    If you want low level at power-on, place a pulldown-resistor, e.g. 1 - 2k.

    Hello

    You mean to say, whatever the output pins configured in the board, which require low level at power-on, should have a pull down resistor. Also the input pins which should be treated as low on power on should have a pull down resistor

    Hi,

    Please refer to the following page 6.3.2. Configuration Sequence (intel.com). As per it, all the I/O pins are tied to an internal weak pull-up at power up, before configuration.

    Solution to your requirement will be to connect on-board pull-down resistors for the output pins which are required to be low.

    For the input pins, it does not matter, because the FPGA is not configured yet.


    Hope that helps.
