Notes to Table 10–1:
(1) Stratix IV devices only support fast AS configuration. You must use either EPCS64 or EPCS128 devices to configure a Stratix IV device in fast
AS mode.
(2) These modes are only supported when using a MAX II device or a microprocessor with flash memory for configuration. In these modes, the
host system must output a DCLK that is ×4 the data rate.
(3) Do not leave the MSEL pins floating, connect them to V_CCPGM or GND. These pins support the non-JTAG configuration scheme used in
production. If you only use the JTAG configuration, connect the MSEL pins to GND.
(4) The JTAG-based configuration takes precedence over other configuration schemes, which means the MSEL pin settings are ignored. The
JTAG-based configuration does not support the design security or decompression features.
Table 10–2 lists the uncompressed raw binary file (.rbf) configuration file sizes for
Stratix IV devices.

Use the data in Table 10–2 to estimate the file size before design compilation. Different
configuration file formats; for example, a hexidecimal (.hex) or tabular text file (.ttf)
format, have different file sizes. Refer to the Quartus^® II software for the different
types of configuration file and file sizes. However, for any specific version of the
Quartus II software, any design targeted for the same device has the same
uncompressed configuration file size. If you are using compression, the file size can
vary after each compilation because the compression ratio depends on the design.
