Cyclone 3 E144 package getting hot and Cannot program the Cyclone using EPSC4 Chip

Dave,

I will have to put that together. I don't really have a board design yet. It is currently all under prototypes. I connected the circuit together using wire wrapping techniques and soldering to a prototype board. I will put together the whole circuit including the regulators ( 3.3, 2.5 and 1.2). One thing I've forgotten to answer you from the previous reply is the version and configuration Quartus. I'm currently using Quartus II 32 Bit version 13.1.0 Build 162, the unused pins is set to "As Input Tri-Stated with weak pull-up".

So I've attached the regulator circuit from the DE0 Dev kit. Instead of using the AME1117 regulator package, I've used the LM1117 regulators with 0.8 A current support. I basically use that circuit and the schematic that I've attached in the previous reply. Let me know if that is sufficient as a schematic diagram or do you want me to put one together that shows all the connections between the regulators, the cyclone, and the EPCS4 chip.

Thank You
