Connect the resistor to a power supply that provides an acceptable input signal for
the FPGA device. V
CCPGM
must be high enough to meet the V
IH
specification of the
I/O on the device and the external host. Altera recommends powering up all the
configuration system I/Os with V
CCPGM
.
You can leave the nCEO pin
unconnected or use it as a
user I/O pin when it does not
feed another device’s nCE
pin.
For more information, refer
to the MSEL pin settings.

CCPGM
After a device completes configuration, its
nCEO
pin is released low to activate the
nCE
pin of the next device
in the chain. Configuration automatically begins for the second device in one clock cycle.
Using One Configuration Data
To configure multiple Cyclone V devices in a chain using one configuration data, connect the devices to an
external host, as shown in the following figure.
