How to turn off all output port of MAXII during power-on. When power is turned on, some output pins of MAXII device have signals. This has some negative effect on circuit, and sometimes, MAXII is bur...

14 years ago --- Quote Start --- I am using more than one CPLD, and these chips are connected each other. When these CPLDs are powered on, some signals (a pulse) occur at the first 200us (SRAM downloading time). I think, at this time, some collision may happen. 1. This signal occur for a combinational logic in my design, which do not need reset logic. 2. In Quartus Program, I set input tri-state as unused pins. 3. I only use 3.3v. --- Quote End --- Each MAX II CPLD will *not* generate a signal while it is configuring. What you are describing sounds like it is coming from *your* CPLD logic. Do you have a common reset that routes to all of these designs? You should have a common reset that is deasserted once all of the devices are configured and the clocks are stable. Cheers, Dave
