ORCA Series 4 FPGAs

FPGA States of Operation (continued)

There are configuration options that control the relative

timing of three events: DONE going high, release of the

set/reset of internal FFs, and user I/Os becoming

active. Figure 35 shows the start-up timing for ORCA

FPGAs. The system designer determines the relative

timing of the I/Os becoming active, DONE going high,

and the release of the set/reset of internal FFs. In the

ORCA Series FPGA, the three events can occur in any

arbitrary sequence. This means that they can occur

before or after each other, or they can occur simulta-

neously.

There are four main start-up modes: CCLK_NOSYNC,

CCLK_SYNC, UCLK_NOSYNC, and UCLK_SYNC.

The only difference between the modes starting with

CCLK and those starting with UCLK is that for the

UCLK modes, a user clock must be supplied to the

start-up logic. The timing of start-up events is then

based upon this user clock, rather than CCLK. The dif-

ference between the SYNC and NOSYNC modes is

that for SYNC mode, the timing of two of the start-up

events, release of the set/reset of internal FFs, and the

I/Os becoming active is triggered by the rise of the

external DONE pin followed by a variable number of ris-

ing clock edges (either CCLK or UCLK). For the

NOSYNC mode, the timing of these two events is

based only on either CCLK or UCLK.

DONE is an open-drain bidirectional pin that may

include an optional (enabled by default) pull-up resistor

to accommodate wired ANDing. The open-drain DONE

signals from multiple FPGAs can be tied together

(ANDed) with a pull-up (internal or external) and used

as an active-high ready signal, an active-low PROM

enable, or a reset to other portions of the system.

When used in SYNC mode, these ANDed DONE pins

can be used to synchronize the other two start-up

events, since they can all be synchronized to the same

external signal. This signal will not rise until all FPGAs

release their DONE pins, allowing the signal to be

pulled high.

The default for ORCA is the CCLK_SYNC synchro-

nized start-up mode where DONE is released on the

first CCLK rising edge, C1 (see Figure 35). Since this is

a synchronized start-up mode, the open-drain DONE

signal can be held low externally to stop the occurrence

of the other two start-up events. Once the DONE pin

has been released and pulled up to a high level, the

other two start-up events can be programmed individu-

ally to either happen immediately or after up to four ris-

ing edges of CCLK (Di, Di + 1, Di + 2, Di + 3, Di + 4).

The default is for both events to happen immediately

after DONE is released and pulled high.

A commonly used design technique is to release

DONE one or more clock cycles before allowing the I/O

to become active. This allows other configuration

devices, such as PROMs, to be disconnected using the

DONE signal so that there is no bus contention when

the I/Os become active. In addition to controlling the

FPGA during start-up, other start-up techniques that

avoid contention include using isolation devices

between the FPGA and other circuits in the system,

reassigning I/O locations, and maintaining I/Os as

3-stated outputs until contentions are resolved.

Each of these start-up options can be selected during

bit stream generation in ORCA Foundry, using

Advanced Options. For more information, please see

the ORCA Foundry documentation.
