Chapter 10: Hot-Socketing and Power-On Reset in the Cyclone III Device Family
Document Revision History
The POR circuit of the Cyclone III device monitors the V_CCINT, V_CCIO (banks 1, 6, 7,
and 8), and V_CCA pins during power-on. The enhanced POR circuit of the Cyclone III
LS device includes monitoring V_CCBAT to ensure that V_CCBAT is always at the minimum
requirement voltage level.
1 The V_CCBAT power supply is the new design security feature power supply introduced
for Cyclone III LS devices only. Cyclone III devices do not have V_CCBAT power supply.
After Cyclone III device family enters user mode, the POR circuit continues to
monitor the V_CCINT or V_CCA pins so that a brown-out condition during user mode is
detected. If the V_CCINT or V_CCA voltage sags below the POR trip point during user
mode, the POR circuit resets the device. If the V_CCIO voltage sags during user mode,
the POR circuit does not reset the device.
In some applications, it is necessary for a device to wake up very quickly to begin
operation. Cyclone III device family offers the Fast-On feature to support fast
wake-up time applications. For Cyclone III device family, the MSEL[3..0] pin settings
determine the POR time (t_POR) of the device. Fast POR ranges from 3 ms to 9 ms, while
standard POR ranges from 50 ms to 200 ms.
If you cannot meet the maximum V_CC ramp time requirement, use an external
component to hold nCONFIG low until the power supplies have reached their
minimum recommend operating levels. Otherwise, the device may not properly
configure and enter user mode.
f For more information about the MSEL[3..0] pin settings, refer to the Configuration,
Design Security, and Remote System Upgrades in the Cyclone III Device Family chapter.

Family Pin Connection Guidelines.
