used either as a single pseudo differential clock I/O or two single-
ended clock I/O. The supported voltage levels are 1.5V and 1.8V. If
these I/O are not used as clock buffers, they can be used only as

Pin Name Type Description and Connection Guidelines
IEEE1149.1/1149.6 JTAG
Interface(10)
JTAG_TCK Input
Dedicated test clock used to advance the TAP controller and clock in
data on TDI input and out on TDO output. The maximum frequency
for TCK is 50MHz.
JTAG_TDI Input Serial input for instruction and test data. Data is captured on the
rising edge of the test logic clock.
JTAG_TDO Output
Serial output for data from the test logic. TDO is set to an inactive
drive state (high impedance) when data scanning is not in progress.
TDO drives out valid data on the falling edge of the TCK input.
JTAG_TMS Input
Test Mode Select (TMS) input controlling the test access port (TAP)
controller state machine transitions. This input is captured on the
rising edge of the test logic clock (TCK).
JTAG_TRSTN Input Active-low reset input used to initialize the TAP controller
Configuration Interface
FCU_CONFIG_BYPASS_CLEAR Input
Active-high input pin to bypass configuration memory clear during
device initialization. This input should be tied to GND if it is not used.
(2)
FCU_CONFIG_CLKSEL Input
Pin controlling whether the FCU clock is sourced from the TCK input
or the CPU_CLK input (see Table: FCU Configuration Clock
It should be connected to a Selection Based). (see page 16)
configurable input such as a DIP switch to toggle between modes of
operation for debug. If this is not possible or desired, tie this off to 1.8
V (FCU_CB_VDDIO) or GND based on the desired clock for the
configuration mode.(2)
FCU_CONFIG_ERR_ENC[2:0] Output
Active-high output pins highlighting the presence of a CRC,
scrubbing or other errors in the bitstream during device programming.
If asserted, it continues to stay high and users should expect that
configuration loading never complete, and user mode is never
entered (see Connect Table: Error Output Pins). (see page 16)
these pins directly to error indicator.

Pin Name Type Description and Connection Guidelines
FCU_CONFIG_DONE Output
Active-high configuration done output signal indicating that bitstream
loading completed successfully and that the device is ready to enter
user mode. Once high, it stays asserted until the FCU is power
cycled or reset for a re-initialization sequence.If a device
configuration error occurs, the CONFIG_DONE output will remain
low. Holding this pin low on the board can be used as a method to
synchronize the start-up of multiple devices.
This output is an open-drain signal. In the default mode of operation,
it is recommended that this signal be connected to an LED as an
indicator on the board. In this case, use an external 10 kΩ ±5% pull-
up resistor to 3.3V and drive a 1 kΩ resistor to the input of a FET to
turn on the LED. If LED usage is not desired, this signal can be
pulled-up to 1.8V (FCU_CB_VDDIO) instead using the same 10 kΩ
pull-up resistor.
FCU_CONFIG_MODESEL_[3:0] Input
Configuration mode selection inputs to define the FPGA configuration
unit (FCU) mode of operation (see Table: FCU Mode Selection). (see
These inputs should be connected to configurable inputs page 16)
such as DIP switches to toggle between modes of operation for
debug. If this is not possible or desired, based on the config scheme,
these pins should be tied to FCU_CB_VDDIO or GND.(2)
FCU_PARTIAL_CONFIG_DONE Output
Active-high configuration done output signal indicating that bitstream
loading completed successfully for partial reconfiguration of the
device and that the device is ready to enter user mode. This output is
an open-drain signal. Connect directly to an indicator LED or
configuration controller.
FCU_CONFIG_RSTN Input
Asynchronous active-low reset input clearing the configuration
memory in the device and the logic in the FPGA configuration unit
(FCU). Pull-up/pull-down options can be done in one of two ways:
(3)
If the configuration controller will always be driving this input,
the pin can be pulleddown to GND using a 4.7 kΩ ±5% resistor
to ensure that the FPGA will be in a reset state on power-up.
If the pin may sometimes not be driven by the configuration
controller or tristated, it Is imperative that it be pulled-up to 1.8
V (FCU_CB_VDDIO) through a 4.7 kΩ ±5% resistor.
FCU_STRAP_[2:0] Output Unconnected spare outputs. Leave these pins unconnect.

Preliminary Data 9
Pin Name Type Description and Connection Guidelines
FCU_STAP_SEL Input
When asserted high, this signal enables the JTAG interface pins to
be directly connected to the JTAG controller in the SerDes PMA
blocks allowing SerDes configuration, debug and performance
monitoring directly from the JTAG interface. For bitstream download
and design debug using the JTAG interface, this pin must be held
low. For SerDes PMA debug only mode, this pin must be held high.(2)
This input must be connected to a configurable input such as a DIP
switch to toggle between modes of operation for debug. If this pin is
not used then it should be tied to GND using a 10 kΩ pull-down
resistor
FCU_CONFIG_STATUS Output
Active-high configuration status output signal indicating that the FCU
has completed initial start-up and has cleared the CMEM and is
awaiting FCU commands for bitstream programming. Once high, it
stays asserted until the FCU is power cycled or reset for a re-
initialization sequence or a CRC error is seen during bitstream load.
This output is an open-drain signal. It is recommended to connect
this signal to an LED as an indicator on the board. In this case, use
an external 10 kΩ ±5% pull-up resistor to 3.0V/3.3V and drive a 1 kΩ
resistor to the input of a FET to turn on the LED. If LED usage is not
desired, this signal can be pulled-up to 1.8V (FCU_CB_VDDIO) using
the same 10 kΩ pull-up resistor.
FCU_CONFIG_SYSCLK_BYPASS Input
Active-high bypass configuration system clock setting. Along with
CFG_CLKSEL, this setting allows for clock selection during
programming (see Table: FCU Configuration Clock Selection Based
). This input should be connected to a configurable (see page 16)
input like a DIP switch to toggle between modes of operation for
debug. If this is not possible or desired, tie this off to 1.8V
(FCU_CB_VDDIO) or GND based on the desired clock for the
configuration mode.(2)
FCU_CONFIG_USER_MODE Output
Active-high output indicating that the device has transitioned into user
mode. Once high, it stays asserted until the FCU is power cycled or
reset for a re-initialization sequence. This signal is not an open drain
output, connect this pin directly to an indicator LED or configuration
controller.
FCU_CPU_CLK Input
Input clock from external CPU. The data/address bus is synchronous
to this clock. If the CPU_CLK is not used to source the FCU clock,
then pin should be tied to GND.
FCU_CPU_CSN Input
Active-low CPU mode chip select. Connect the CSN pin directly to
the configuration controller. If this pin is not used then this pin should
be pulled HIGH using a pull-up resistor.
FCU_CPU_DQ_IN_OUT[31:0] Input
/Output
Data input/output pins shared between the CPU and flash interfaces.
The CPU interface is inaccessible when the flash mode is in use and
vice-versa. If any pins are unused based on the configuration then
they should be connected to weak pull-up resistors.(3)

Pin Name Type Description and Connection Guidelines
FCU_CPU_DQ_VALID Output
Active-high control bit to indicate to the CPU the clock cycles when
the CPU_DQ bus has valid read-back data. Synchronous to
FCU_CPU_CLK.(3)
FCU_LOCK Output Active-high status bit to indicate the FCU lock/unlock status.(3)
FCU_STATUS_[1:0] Output FCU status bits showing the FCU state are shown in Table:
FCU_STATUS Bits. (see page 17)(3)
FCU_FLASH_CSN_[3:0] Output
Active-low chip select to enable/disable one or more of the attached
flash memory devices.For x1 mode, only CSN[0] is used, for x4 mode
connect each CSN[3:0] to a flash device. If x1 mode is used, leave
CSN[3:1] unconnected. In ×4 mode, connect all four to the individual
serial flash devices.
FCU_FLASH_HOLDN Output
Active-low hold output to flash memory device(s). This signal is used
to pause serial communications between Speedster and the flash
device without deselecting the device or stopping the serial clock.
Synchronous to FLASH_SCK.(3)
FCU_FLASH_SCK Output Clock output from FCU to flash memory device(s). Connect directly to
the flash device(s).
FCU_OSC_CLK Output
This clock is internally generated from a ring oscillator. For debug
purposes it can be bypassed and the external clock CPU_CLK can
be used. (3)
General Purpose I/O Interface
GPIO_[N0/S0]_BYTE[2:0]_VREF Input
Optional external reference voltage supply to the GPIO. Typically set
to GPIO_VDDIO/2 when supplied externally. When this voltage is
supplied internally by the MSIO macro, these pins should be
connected to ground.

both on-die termination and output driver.(11)
