Hi Kumar,


Thank you for contacting Intel Community. I would like to further clarify below so that we can understand your questions clearly:

- Are you seeing the Cyclone 10 hangs or reset when you applied ESD zap?

- Did you observe any functional failure without ESD zap?

- Is the 1.2V core voltage dropped when ESD zap applied?


As further confirmed with the internal team, the Cyclone 10 devices meet our ESD testing for CDM and HBM, at +/- 500V and +/- 2000V respectively.


Thank you


Regards,

Chia Ling

Hi Chia Ling
Im not zaping esd directly on fpga. The zaping points are on connectors which has zeners to protect. I dont see any permenant damage on fpga upon esd.
Im observing the config done pin goes low after zap together with 1.2v core current drop. It looks like fpga is out of configuration at this point.
