Hi NBurt,

Can I keep the nCONFIG pin low at startup to keep the part from configuring?

Yes, you can pull nCONFIG low to keep MAX 10 from configure (in reset mode).

Are ALL I/O pins tri-stated?

Yes, all I/O pins (include dual-propose pins)

What state are they in while the device is in the reset state?

Tri-stated

What does that mean for my application?

For example, if MAX10 used to controls power to the entire system. Then, when reset state trigger, the IO pins tristate and the system shutdown.

In a reset state, how does this effect the device's allowed voltage range?

Only I/O pins are tri-stated when in reset state. Power pin function won’t affected in reset state.

Thanks.
