•
One JTAG-compatible header connects to several devices in a JTAG chain. The drive capability of the download cable is the
only limit on the number of devices in the JTAG chain.
•
If you have four or more devices in a JTAG chain, buffer the
TCK
,
TDI
, and
TMS
pins with an on-board buffer. You can also
connect other Intel FPGA devices with JTAG support to the chain.

Resistor values can vary between 1 k
Ω
to 10 k
Ω
.
Perform signal integrity to select the resistor
value for your setup.
For JTAG configuration only:
Connect MSEL [2:0] of Intel FPGA devices to VCCIO_SDM through 4.7 k
Ω
external pull-up resistor.
For JTAG in conjunction with another configuration scheme:
Connect MSEL [2:0] of Intel FPGA devices based on the non-JTAG configuration scheme.
