How to set SLOW SLEW RATE in Quartus 17 lite for MAX10 (10M08SCE144C8G)

Hi all,

I made my first design with a MAX10 FPGA (part is 10M08SCE144C8G).I'm looking how to change the SLEW RATE under Quartus 17 Lite edition but I cannot see any option under settings menu (like it happens, for example, for MAX7000 devices where I can set a global SLOW SLEW RATE).Is something possible with MAX10 devices and, if yes, how to do it?Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    as explained in device manual

    Programmable Output Slew-Rate Control

    The programmable output slew-rate control is available for single-ended I/O standards with current strength of 8 mA or higher. You have the option of three settings for programmable slew rate control — 0, 1, and 2 with 2 as the default setting. Setting 0 is the slow slew rate and 2 is the fast slew rate.
    • Fast slew-rate—provides high-speed transitions for high-performance systems.
    • Slow slew-rate—reduces system noise and crosstalk but adds a nominal delay to the rising and falling edges.

    You can specify the slew-rate on a pin-by-pin basis because each I/O pin contains a slew-rate control. The slew-rate control affects both the rising and falling edges.

      Thanks for your reply.

      I knew about the programmable output slew-rate control feature of MAX10 FPGA but I can't find the option under Quartus 17 Lite.Is something perhaps I have to set under the "Assignement editor" menu?

      I have the same question for MAX10 in Quartus Prime 23 Lite

      Even if I set the maximum Current Strength the only default Slew rate available. Is there any way to change it to 0 or 1?

    Hi,

    yes either set in assignment editor or pin planner.

    Hi,


    Did you manage to successfully change the setting for the slew rate option as mentioned?
