How to choose the voltage level of MSEL pins

Hi, I am a new learner of FPGA and designing a FPGA hardware using Cyclone 10 LP. If I want to load the .jic to EPCS16 using JTAG, is it needed to connete the MSEL[3..0] as 0010? The handbook sugges...

Hi xli32,

I have checked, the MSEL pins are require to be hardwire the MSEL pins to VCCA (2.5V) or GND without pull-up or pull-down resistors. This has been clearly stated in the Cyclone 10 LP device handbook. Please do not be confuse between configuration voltage standard (for example 3.3V/3.0V) and the MSEL pin connection to VCCA. The configuration voltage standard refers to the voltage level applied to the VCCIO supply of the bank in which the configuration pins reside in.

Regards,

Nooraini
