The following conditions were used to estimate the configuration time values:
•
Set the VID mode of operation to PMBus Master mode
•
Use Intersil ISL68137 regulator to regulate the PMBus
•
Set configuration clock source to
OSC_CLK_1
with 25/100/125 MHz
•
No advanced security features were enabled
•
For AVST x8/x16/x32 configuration modes, set the
AVST_CLK
to 125 MHz. The external host controller supplies the
AVST_DATA
by asserting the
AVST_VALID
signal high whenever the
AVST_READY
signal is high.
•
For AS x4 configuration mode, set the
AS_CLK
to 166 MHz. Use a Micron device with a 2 Gb density range QSPI flash
memory.

2.8. Generating Compressed
.sof
File
Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition software allows you to generate a compressed
.sof
file. The compressed
.sof
file size is
smaller compared to the non-compressed
.sof
file.
To enable this option, go to Assignments

For non-Micron QSPI flash memory, the AS x4 configuration time increases by 126 ms.
