Configuring Cyclone II Devices
Quartus II programmer and a download cable. Figure 13–19 shows the PS
configuration for Cyclone II devices using a USB-Blaster, MasterBlaster,
ByteBlaster II or ByteBlasterMV cable.

Notes to Figure 13–19:
(1) The pull-up resistor should be connected to the same supply voltage as the USB-Blaster, MasterBlaster (VIO pin),
ByteBlaster II, or ByteBlasterMV cable.
(2) The pull-up resistors on DATA0 and DCLK are only needed if the download cable is the only configuration scheme
used on your board. This is to ensure that DATA0 and DCLK are not left floating after configuration. For example, if
you are also using a configuration device, the pull-up resistors on DATA0 and DCLK are not needed.
(3) Pin 6 of the header is a VIO reference voltage for the MasterBlaster output driver. VIO should match the device’s
VCCIO. Refer to the MasterBlaster Serial/USB Communications Cable Data Sheet for this value. In the ByteBlasterMV,
this pin is a no connect. In the USB-Blaster and ByteBlaster II, this pin is connected to nCE when it is used for AS
programming, otherwise it is a no connect.
(4) The nCEO pin can be left unconnected or used as a user I/O pin when it does not feed other device’s nCE pin.
You can use a download cable to configure multiple Cyclone II devices by
connecting each device’s nCEO pin to the subsequent device’s nCE pin.
Connect the first Cyclone II device’s nCE pin to GND and connect its
nCEO pin to the nCE pin of the next device in the chain. Use an external
10-kΩ pull-up resistor to pull the nCEO pin high to VCCIO when it feeds
next device’s nCE pin. Connect all other configuration pins (nCONFIG,
nSTATUS, DCLK, DATA0, and CONF_DONE) on every device in the chain
together. Because all CONF_DONE pins are connected, all devices in the
chain initialize and enter user mode at the same time.
