The POR circuit keeps the system in reset until power-supply voltage levels have
stabilized. The POR time consists of the V
POR delay counter. When the supply is stable and the POR counter expires, the POR
circuit releases the OE pin. The POR time can be further extended by an external
device by driving the OE pin low.
Do not execute JTAG or ISP instructions until POR is complete.
The enhanced configuration device supports a programmable POR delay setting. You
can set the POR delay to the default 100-ms setting or reduce the POR delay to 2 ms
for systems that require fast power-up. The PORSEL input pin controls this POR
delay; a logic-high level selects the 2-ms delay, while a logic-low level selects the
100-ms delay.
The enhanced configuration device can enter reset under the following conditions:

Altera requires that you power-up the FPGA's V
configuration device's POR expires.
Power up needs to be controlled so that the enhanced configuration device’s OE signal
goes high after the CONF_DONE signal is pulled low. If the EEPC device exits POR
before the FPGA is powered up, the CONF_DONE signal will be high because the
pull-up resistor is holding this signal high. When the enhanced configuration device
exits POR, OE is released and pulled high by a pull-up resistor. Since the enhanced
configuration device samples the nCS signal on the rising edge of OE, it detects a high
level on CONF_DONE and enters an idle mode. DATA and DCLK outputs will not toggle
in this state and configuration will not begin. The enhanced configuration device will
only exit this mode if it is powered down and then powered up correctly.
To ensure the enhanced configuration device enters configuration mode properly, you
must ensure that the FPGA completes power-up before the enhanced configuration
device exits POR.
The pin-selectable POR time feature is useful for ensuring this power-up sequence.
The enhanced configuration device has two POR settings, 2 ms when PORSEL is set to
a high level and 100 ms when PORSEL is set to a low level. For more margin, the
100-ms setting can be selected to allow the FPGA to power-up before configuration is
attempted.
The POR reset starts at initial power-up during V
below the minimum operating condition anytime after V
The FPGA initiates reconfiguration by driving nSTATUS low, which occurs if the
FPGA detects a CRC error or if the FPGA’s nCONFIG input pin is asserted
The controller detects a configuration error and asserts OE to begin
re-configuration of the Altera FPGA (for example, when CONF_DONE stays low
after all configuration data has been transmitted)
