About this manual

This document provides preliminary pin connection recommendations for the Cyclone III device family. It details specific voltage requirements and grounding strategies for various supply pins, including VCCINT, VCCIO, and analog supplies like VCCAII.

The guide also covers dedicated configuration and JTAG pins such as DCLK, DATA[0], MSEL, nCE, and CONFIG. It outlines connection rules based on different configuration modes (PS, FPP, AS, AP) and provides instructions for handling unused or no-connect pins.

Frequently asked questions

What voltage must VCCINT pins be connected to?

All VCCINT pins must be connected to a 1.2V supply.

How should unused RUP and RDN pins be handled?

If not required, the RUP pin is a regular I/O pin, while the RDN pin should be connected to GND.

What is the recommended connection for unused CONFIG pins?

Unused CONFIG pins must be connected directly or through a 10-kOhm resistor to VCCIO.
