Hi Guys
I could not find the POR pin for EP4CE22/F256(package). Please also specify following pin purposes: DEV_OE DEV_CLRn INIT_DONE CRC_ERROR Thanks GuangyiHi Guys
I could not find the POR pin for EP4CE22/F256(package). Please also specify following pin purposes: DEV_OE DEV_CLRn INIT_DONE CRC_ERROR Thanks GuangyiWhat do you mean by "POR" exactly? For me it is Power-On Reset and isn't a pin on the FPGA.
DEV_OE and DEV_CLRn are pins that can be optionally used to control all the FPGA tristate outputs and clear its registers. INIT_DONE as its name indicates says if the FPGA as finished reading its configuration and switched to the application. Some FPGA can regularly check their configuration while in user mode for errors (due to bit changes caused by radiation) if an error is found it can be indicated through the CRC_ERROR pin. All those pins can be used as regular i/o if you don't need their specific function.Thanks for the reply.
So which pin in the EP4CE22 can be used as Power-On-Reset? GuangyiDEV_CLRn, if activated in your configuration, has basically the same effect as a power-on reset.
