Description

FX2_PS_EN

NOT
CONNECTED

PD0

Bidirectional
Input/Output (3)

Control of signal PS_EN
if the switch FX2_ON is
set to on.

Some power rails are
controlled by the USB FX2
microcontroller (FX2 μC).
At start-up, the FX2 μC
switches off some power
rails and starts up the
module in low-power mode.
After enumeration, the
FX2 microcontroller firmware
enables (switches on) the
power rails previously
disabled, if enough current
is available
from the USB bus.

See  Power Rails
Configuration:

If the switch FX2_ON is
set to on, FX2_PS_EN

should be High
to allow configuration
to start.

If the switch FX2_ON is
set to on,
FX2_PS_EN
should be High to allow
the various components
of TE USB FX2 module
to work.

Input

PD1

Bidirectional

Input/Output (3)

 

 

Program FPGA. Active Low.

Active-Low asynchronous
full-chip reset.

When asserted Low for
500 ns or longer,
forces the FPGA
to restart its configuration
process by clearing
configuration memory and
resetting the DONE and
INIT_B pins after
FX2_PROG_B returns High.

Must be High to allow
configuration to start.

Drive FX2_PROG_B
Low and release to
reprogram FPGA.

Hold FX2_PROG_B
to force the FPGA I/O
pins into High-Z, 
allowing direct
programming
access to SPI
Flash PROM pins.


 

DONE

DONE

Bidirectional I/O,

Open-Drain,
or Active

Use a pull-up
resistor /330Ω)
on DONE (4).



 


 

PD2

Input, by default (2)

Dedicated Active-High signal
indicating configuration is
complete:

  • 0 = FPGA not configured
  • 1 = FPGA configured
Refer to the BitGen section
of UG628, Command Line
Tools User Guide for
software settings.

See FPGA configuration
process successfully
completes (DONE PIN)

page.

The FX2 μC firwmare
is able to read the
DONE PIN status
from PD2 pin (IOD2)
and the host
computer's SW
could obtain the
current value using
READ_STATUS command
.
 
DONE PIN status
can be read from
reply[4]
(=  EP1INBUF[4] =
sts_booting =
FPGA_DONE).


INIT_B

INIT_B
Open-drain
bidirectional I/O
Use a pull-up
resistor (4.7kΩ)
on INIT_B (4)

PD3

Input, by default (2)

See AR# 39582 and
AR# 35002

 

Initialization Indicator.
Active Low.
Goes Low at start of
configuration during
Initialization memory
clearing process.
Released at end of memory
clearing, when mode select
pins are sampled.

The INIT pin does not have
a rise time requirement and
is
used to signal the start of
configuration as well as a
CRC,
and can also be used as
User-IO post configuration.

 

Active during
configuration.
Before the Mode pins
are sampled,
INIT_B is an input that
can be held
Low to delay configuration.
If SPI Flash PROM requires
more than 2 ms to awake
after powering
on,hold INIT_B Low until
PROM is ready.
.
After the Mode pins are
sampled, INIT_B is an
open-drain active-Low
output indicating whether a
CRC error occurred during
configuration:
  • 0= CRC error
  • 1= No CRC error
User I/O. If unused in
the application, drive
INIT_B High to avoid
a floating value.
Dual-Purpose:
if User I/O if
POST_CRC
is not enabled.

 

Note
Only the status of these PD2 pin (FPGA_DONE) could be retrieved using the READ_STATUS command. If the user desire to retrieve the status of the other pins as well, he/she should modify the firmware to add another FW API similar to READ_STATUS command. Theoretically the user/developer should add another case in the switch construction inside the function ep1_pool(void) (described in te_api.c).
