Altera FPGA Configuration Handbook
This document serves as a comprehensive guide for configuring Altera Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). It covers configuration schemes such as Fast Passive Parallel (FPP), Active Serial (AS), Passive Serial (PS), and JTAG for multiple device families including Stratix V, IV, III, II, GX, Cyclone IV, III, II, I, Arria II, GX, APEX II, 20KE, 20KC, Mercury, ACEX 1K, and FLEX 10K.
The handbook details the procedures for executing configuration schemes, setting option pins, and managing power-on reset circuits. It also explains advanced features available in specific devices, such as real-time data decompression, design security via bitstream encryption, and remote system upgrades.

Questions answered in these manuals
Can Stratix V devices receive compressed configuration data?
Yes, Stratix V devices can receive a compressed configuration bitstream and decompress this data in real-time.
What is the purpose of the Vccpp pin in Stratix V devices?
The Vccpp pin is a dedicated programming power supply that must be connected to 3.0 V or 2.5 V to power the I/O pre-drivers and JTAG I/O pins.
Do Stratix V devices support design security?
Yes, design security using configuration bitstream encryption is available in Stratix V devices.
