Specifications

Hot-socketing circuitry prevents excess I/O leakage during power up. When the voltage ramps up very
slowly, I/O leakage is still relatively low, even after the release of the POR signal and configuration is complete.
The output buffer cannot flip from the state set by the hot-socketing circuitry at very low voltage.
To allow the CONF_DONE and nSTATUS pins to operate during configuration, the hot-socketing
Note:
feature is not applied to these configuration pins. Therefore, these pins will drive out during power
up and power down.

The POR circuitry monitors the voltage level of the power supplies and keeps the I/O pins tri-stated until
the device is in user mode. The weak pull-up resistor (R) in the Cyclone V input/output element (IOE) is
enabled during configuration download to keep the I/O pins from floating.
The 3.3-V tolerance control circuit allows the I/O pins to be driven by 3.3 V before the power supplies are
powered and prevents the I/O pins from driving out before the device enters user mode.
Power-Up Sequence
To ensure the minimum current draw during device power up for Cyclone V devices, follow the power-up
sequence recommendations as shown in the following figure.
