DATA
1231Output
Serial data output. The
DATA
pin connects to the
DATA0
pin
of the FPGA.
DATA
is latched into the FPGA on the rising
edge of
DCLK
.
The
DATA
pin is tri-stated before configuration and when
the n
CS
pin is high. After configuration, the EPC2 device
drives
DATA
high, while the EPC1 and EPC1441 device
tri-state
DATA
.
DCLK
2 4 2 Bidirectional
Clock output when configuring with a single configuration
device or when the configuration device is the first
(master) device in a chain. Clock input for the next (slave)
configuration devices in a chain. The
DCLK
pin connects to
the
DCLK
pin of the FPGA.
Rising edges on
DCLK
increment the internal address
counter and present the next bit of data on the
DATA
pin.
The counter is incremented only if the
OE
input is held
high, the n
CS
input is held low, and all configuration data
has not been transferred to the target device.
After configuration or when
OE
is low, the EPC1, EPC2 and
EPC1441 device drive
DCLK
low.
OE
387
Open-drain
bidirectional
Output enable (active high) and reset (active low). The
OE
pin connects to the n
STATUS
pin of the FPGA.
A low logic level resets the address counter. A high logic
level enables
DATA
and the address counter to count. If this
pin is low (reset) during configuration, the internal
oscillator becomes inactive and
DCLK
drives low. For more
information, refer to “Error Detection Circuitry” on page 9.
The
OE
pin has an internal programmable 1-k resistor in
EPC2 devices. If internal pull-up resistors are used, do not
use external pull-up resistors on these pins. You can
disable the internal pull-up resistors through the Disable
nCS and OE pull-ups on configuration device option.
