8 years agoCyclone 10 MSEL Pins
Dear Supporters: I have a question regarding to the MSEL pins configuration. For the Cyclone 10 VCCA pins, the Device Datasheet says the VCCA pins must be connected to 2.5V power source. But the M...

8 years agoYou want to refer to the most recent Cyclone 10 device handbook which has a dedicated table for devices with 3 MSEL lines. As with previous Cyclone devices, the small FPGA types have MSEL2 and 3 bonded to MSEL 2 pin.
The posted table seems erroneous. The recent doc is clarifying that the configuration voltage selection refers to VCCIO in which the configuration pins reside. I believe that using VCCA as MSEL high level isn't an absolute requirement. It's however essential that the MSEL level is valid when VCCA powers up, connect it to VCCA is the straightforward way to achieve it.xli32
