Fast Passive Parallel Configuration
The FPP configuration scheme uses an external host, such as a microprocessor, MAX
®
II device, or MAX V
device. This scheme is the fastest method to configure Cyclone V devices. The FPP configuration scheme
supports 8- and 16-bits data width.
You can use an external host to control the transfer of configuration data from an external storage such as
flash memory to the FPGA. The design that controls the configuration process resides in the external host.
You can store the configuration data in Raw Binary File (.rbf), Hexadecimal (Intel-Format) File (.hex), or
Tabular Text File (.ttf) formats.
You can use the PFL megafunction with a MAX II or MAX V device to read configuration data from the
flash memory device and configure the Cyclone V device.
Two
DCLK
falling edges are required after the
CONF_DONE
pin goes high to begin the initialization of
the device for both uncompressed and compressed configuration data in an FPP configuration.

Connect the resistor to a supply that
provides an acceptable input signal
for the FPGA device. V
CCPGM
must be
high enough to meet the V

specification of the I/O on the device
and the external host. Altera
recommends powering up all
configuration system I/Os with V

.
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.
