Board Design Considerations
MSEL Configuration Mode Pins
Select the configuration scheme by driving the Cyclone III device MSEL pins either
high or low. The MSEL pins are powered by the V
power supply of the bank in
CCINT
Ω
which they reside. The MSEL[3..0] pins have 5-k
internal pull-down resistors that
are always active. During power-on reset (POR) and during reconfiguration, the MSEL
pins have to be at least LVTTL V
or V
levels to be considered a logic low or logic
IL
IH
high, respectively. To avoid any problems with detecting an incorrect configuration
scheme, hardwire the MSEL pins to V
and GND without any pull-up or pull-down
CCA
resistors. Alternatively, set up your board so that you can connect each pin to either
Ω
V
or GND with a 0-
resistor to change between configuration modes during
CCA
testing or debugging. Altera recommends not to drive the MSEL pins with a
microprocessor or another device.
