Dedicated circuitry built into the Cyclone
Cyclone III LS devices) consists of a cyclical redundancy check (CRC) error detection
feature that can optionally check for a single-event upset (SEU) continuously and
automatically.
In critical applications used in the fields of avionics, telecommunications, system
control, medical, and military applications, it is important to be able to:

This chapter describes how to activate and use the error detection CRC feature in user
mode and describes how to recover from configuration errors caused by CRC error.
Using the CRC error detection feature for Cyclone III device family does not impact
fitting or performance.

Error detection determines if the data received through an input device is corrupted
during transmission. In validating the data, the transmitter uses a function to
calculate a checksum value for the data and appends the checksum to the original
data frame. The receiver uses the same calculation methodology to generate a
checksum for the received data frame and compares the received checksum to the
transmitted checksum. If the two checksum values are equal, the received data frame
is correct and no data corruption has occurred during transmission or storage.
The error detection CRC feature in Cyclone III device family puts theory into practice.
In user mode, the error detection CRC feature in Cyclone III device family ensures the
integrity of the configuration data.
