1. MAX V Device Family Overview
The MAX®V family of low cost and low power CPLDs offer more density and I/Os
per footprint versus other CPLDs. Ranging in density from 40 to 2,210 logic elements
(LEs) (32 to 1,700 equivalent macrocells) and up to 271 I/Os, MAX V devices provide
programmable solutions for applications such as I/O expansion, bus and protocol
bridging, power monitoring and control, FPGA configuration, and analog IC
interface.
MAX V devices feature on-chip flash storage, internal oscillator, and memory
functionality. With up to 50% lower total power versus other CPLDs and requiring as

1–2 Chapter 1: MAX V Device Family Overview
Feature Summary
MAX V Device Handbook May 2011 Altera Corporation
■I/Os are fully compliant with the PCI-SIG® PCI Local Bus Specification, revision
2.2 for 3.3-V operation
■Hot-socket compliant
■Built-in JTAG BST circuitry compliant with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990
Table 1–1 lists the MAX V family features.
MAX V devices accept 1.8 V on their
VCCINT
pins. The 1.8-V VCCINT external supply
powers the device core directly. MAX V devices operate internally at 1.8 V. The
supported MultiVolt I/O interface voltage levels (VCCIO) are 1.2 V, 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V,
and 3.3 V.
MAX V devices are available in two speed grades: –4 and –5, with –4 being the fastest.
For commercial applications, speed grades –C4 and –C5 are available. For industrial
and automotive applications, speed grade –I5 and –A5 are available, respectively.
These speed grades represent the overall relative performance, not any specific timing
parameter.
fFor propagation delay timing numbers within each speed grade and density, refer to
the DC and Switching Characteristics for MAX V Devices chapter.
MAX V devices are available in space-saving FineLine BGA (FBGA), Micro FineLine
BGA (MBGA), plastic enhanced quad flat pack (EQFP), and thin quad flat pack
(TQFP) packages (refer to Table 1–2 and Table 1–3 ). MAX V devices support vertical
migration within the same package (for example, you can migrate between the
5M570Z, 5M1270Z, and 5M2210Z devices in the 256-pin FineLine BGA package).
Vertical migration means that you can migrate to devices whose dedicated pins and
JTAG pins are the same and power pins are subsets or supersets for a given package
across device densities. The largest density in any package has the highest number of
power pins; you must lay out for the largest planned density in a package to provide

the necessary power pins for migration. For I/O pin migration across densities, cross
reference the available I/O pins using the device pin-outs for all planned densities of
a given package type to identify which I/O pins can be migrated. The Quartus® II
software can automatically cross-reference and place all pins for you when given a
device migration list.
Integrated Software Platform
The Quartus II software provides an integrated environment for HDL and schematic
design entry, compilation and logic synthesis, full simulation and advanced timing
analysis, and programming of MAX V devices.
fFor more information about the Quartus II software features, refer to the Quartus II
Handbook.
You can debug your MAX V designs using In-System Sources and Probes Editor in
the Quartus II software. This feature allows you to easily control any internal signal
and provides you with a completely dynamic debugging environment.
fFor more information about the In-System Sources and Probes Editor, refer to the
Design Debugging Using In-System Sources and Probes chapter of the Quartus II
Handbook.

2. MAX V Architecture
This chapter describes the architecture of the MAX® V device and contains the
following sections:
■“Functional Description” on page 2–1
■“Logic Array Blocks” on page 2–4
■“Logic Elements” on page 2–8
■“MultiTrack Interconnect” on page 2–14
■“Global Signals” on page 2–19
■“User Flash Memory Block” on page 2–21
■“Internal Oscillator” on page 2–22
■“Core Voltage” on page 2–25
■“I/O Structure” on page 2–26
Functional Description
MAX V devices contain a two-dimensional row- and column-based architecture to
implement custom logic. Row and column interconnects provide signal interconnects
between the logic array blocks (LABs).
Each LAB in the logic array contains 10 logic elements (LEs). An LE is a small unit of
logic that provides efficient implementation of user logic functions. LABs are grouped
into rows and columns across the device. The MultiTrack interconnect provides fast
granular timing delays between LABs. The fast routing between LEs provides
minimum timing delay for added levels of logic versus globally routed interconnect
structures.
The I/O elements (IOEs) located after the LAB rows and columns around the
periphery of the MAX V device feeds the I/O pins. Each IOE contains a bidirectional
I/O buffer with several advanced features. I/O pins support Schmitt trigger inputs
and various single-ended standards, such as 33-MHz, 32-bit PCI™, and LVTTL.
MAX V devices provide a global clock network. The global clock network consists of
four global clock lines that drive throughout the entire device, providing clocks for all
resources within the device. You can also use the global clock lines for control signals
such as clear, preset, or output enable.

Functional Description
MAX V Device Handbook December 2010 Altera Corporation
Figure 2–1 shows a functional block diagram of the MAX V device.
Each MAX V device contains a flash memory block within its floorplan. This block is
located on the left side of the 5M40Z, 5M80Z, 5M160Z, and 5M240Z devices. On the
5M240Z (T144 package), 5M570Z, 5M1270Z, and 5M2210Z devices, the flash memory
block is located on the bottom-left area of the device. The majority of this flash
memory storage is partitioned as the dedicated configuration flash memory (CFM)
block. The CFM block provides the non-volatile storage for all of the SRAM
configuration information. The CFM automatically downloads and configures the
logic and I/O at power-up, providing instant-on operation.
fFor more information about configuration upon power-up, refer to the Hot Socketing
and Power-On Reset for MAX V Devices chapter.
A portion of the flash memory within the MAX V device is partitioned into a small
block for user data. This user flash memory (UFM) block provides 8,192 bits of
general-purpose user storage. The UFM provides programmable port connections to
the logic array for reading and writing. There are three LAB rows adjacent to this
block, with column numbers varying by device.

Each LAB consists of 10 LEs, LE carry chains, LAB control signals, a local interconnect,
a look-up table (LUT) chain, and register chain connection lines. There are 26 possible
unique inputs into an LAB, with an additional 10 local feedback input lines fed by LE
outputs in the same LAB. The local interconnect transfers signals between LEs in the
same LAB. LUT chain connections transfer the LUT output from one LE to the

connections transfer the output of one LE’s register to the adjacent LE’s register
within an LAB. The Quartus® II software places associated logic within an LAB or
adjacent LABs, allowing the use of local, LUT chain, and register chain connections
for performance and area efficiency. Figure 2–3 shows the MAX V LAB.

LAB Interconnects
Column and row interconnects and LE outputs within the same LAB drive the LAB
local interconnect. Adjacent LABs, from the left and right, can also drive an LAB’s
local interconnect through the DirectLink connection. The DirectLink connection
feature minimizes the use of row and column interconnects, providing higher
performance and flexibility. Each LE can drive 30 other LEs through fast local and
DirectLink interconnects. Figure 2–4 shows the DirectLink connection.
LAB Control Signals
Each LAB contains dedicated logic for driving control signals to its LEs. The control
signals include two clocks, two clock enables, two asynchronous clears, a
synchronous clear, an asynchronous preset/load, a synchronous load, and
add/subtract control signals, providing a maximum of 10 control signals at a time.
Synchronous load and clear signals are generally used when implementing counters
but they can also be used with other functions.
Each LAB can use two clocks and two clock enable signals. Each LAB’s clock and
clock enable signals are linked. For example, any LE in a particular LAB using the
labclk1
signal also uses
labclkena1
. If the LAB uses both the rising and falling edges
of a clock, it also uses both LAB-wide clock signals. Deasserting the clock enable
signal turns off the LAB-wide clock.
Each LAB can use two asynchronous clear signals and an asynchronous load/preset
signal. By default, the Quartus II software uses a
NOT
gate push-back technique to
achieve preset. If you disable the
NOT
gate push-back option or assign a given register
to power-up high using the Quartus II software, the preset is then achieved using the
asynchronous load signal with asynchronous load data input tied high.

With the LAB-wide
addnsub
control signal, a single LE can implement a one-bit adder
and subtractor. This signal saves LE resources and improves performance for logic
functions such as correlators and signed multipliers that alternate between addition
and subtraction depending on data.
The LAB column clocks
[3..0]
, driven by the global clock network, and LAB local
interconnect generate the LAB-wide control signals. The MultiTrack interconnect
structure drives the LAB local interconnect for non-global control signal generation.
The MultiTrack interconnect’s inherent low skew allows clock and control signal
distribution in addition to data signals. Figure 2–5 shows the LAB control signal
generation circuit.

Logic Elements
The smallest unit of logic in the MAX V architecture, the LE, is compact and provides
advanced features with efficient logic utilization. Each LE contains a four-input LUT,
which is a function generator that can implement any function of four variables. In
addition, each LE contains a programmable register and carry chain with carry-select
capability. A single LE also supports dynamic single-bit addition or subtraction mode
that is selected by an LAB-wide control signal. Each LE drives all types of
interconnects: local, row, column, LUT chain, register chain, and DirectLink
interconnects as shown in Figure 2–6.
You can configure each LE’s programmable register for D, T, JK, or SR operation. Each
register has data, true asynchronous load data, clock, clock enable, clear, and
asynchronous load/preset inputs. Global signals, general purpose I/O (GPIO) pins,
or any LE can drive the register’s clock and clear control signals. Either GPIO pins or
LEs can drive the clock enable, preset, asynchronous load, and asynchronous data.
The asynchronous load data input comes from the
data3
input of the LE. For
combinational functions, the LUT output bypasses the register and drives directly to
the LE outputs.
Each LE has three outputs that drive the local, row, and column routing resources. The
LUT or register output can drive these three outputs independently. Two LE outputs
drive either a column or row and DirectLink routing connections while one output
drives the local interconnect resources. This configuration allows the LUT to drive one
output while the register drives another output. This register packing feature

improves device utilization because the device can use the register and the LUT for
unrelated functions. Another special packing mode allows the register output to feed
back into the LUT of the same LE so that the register is packed with its own fan-out
LUT. This mode provides another mechanism for improved fitting. The LE can also
drive out registered and unregistered versions of the LUT output.
LUT Chain and Register Chain
In addition to the three general routing outputs, the LEs within a LAB have LUT chain
and register chain outputs. LUT chain connections allow LUTs within the same LAB
to cascade together for wide input functions. Register chain outputs allow registers
within the same LAB to cascade together. The register chain output allows a LAB to
use LUTs for a single combinational function and the registers for an unrelated shift
register implementation. These resources speed up connections between LABs while
saving local interconnect resources. For more information about LUT chain and
register chain connections, refer to “MultiTrack Interconnect” on page 2–14.
addnsub Signal
The LE’s dynamic adder/subtractor feature saves logic resources by using one set of
LEs to implement both an adder and a subtractor. This feature is controlled by the
LAB-wide control signal
addnsub
. The
addnsub
signal sets the LAB to perform either
A + B or A – B. The LUT computes addition; subtraction is computed by adding the
two’s complement of the intended subtractor. The LAB-wide signal converts to two’s
complement by inverting the B bits within the LAB and setting carry-in to 1, which
adds one to the LSB. The LSB of an adder/subtractor must be placed in the first LE of
the LAB, where the LAB-wide
addnsub
signal automatically sets the carry-in to 1. The
Quartus II Compiler automatically places and uses the adder/subtractor feature
when using adder/subtractor parameterized functions.
LE Operating Modes
The MAX V LE can operate in one of the following modes:
■“Normal Mode”
■“Dynamic Arithmetic Mode”
Each mode uses LE resources differently. In each mode, eight available inputs to the
LE, the four data inputs from the LAB local interconnect,
carry-in0
and
carry-in1
from the previous LE, the LAB carry-in from the previous carry-chain LAB, and the
register chain connection are directed to different destinations to implement the
desired logic function. LAB-wide signals provide clock, asynchronous clear,
asynchronous preset/load, synchronous clear, synchronous load, and clock enable
control for the register. These LAB-wide signals are available in all LE modes. The
addnsub
control signal is allowed in arithmetic mode.
The Quartus II software, along with parameterized functions such as the library of
parameterized modules (LPM) functions, automatically chooses the appropriate
mode for common functions such as counters, adders, subtractors, and arithmetic
functions.
2–10 Chapter 2: MAX V Architecture
Logic Elements
MAX V Device Handbook December 2010 Altera Corporation
Normal Mode
The normal mode is suitable for general logic applications and combinational
functions. In normal mode, four data inputs from the LAB local interconnect are
inputs to a four-input LUT as shown in Figure 2–7. The Quartus II Compiler
automatically selects the carry-in or the
data3
signal as one of the inputs to the LUT.
Each LE can use LUT chain connections to drive its combinational output directly to
the next LE in the LAB. Asynchronous load data for the register comes from the
data3
input of the LE. LEs in normal mode support packed registers.
Dynamic Arithmetic Mode
The dynamic arithmetic mode is ideal for implementing adders, counters,
accumulators, wide parity functions, and comparators. A LE in dynamic arithmetic
mode uses four 2-input LUTs configurable as a dynamic adder/subtractor. The first
two 2-input LUTs compute two summations based on a possible carry-in of 1 or 0; the
other two LUTs generate carry outputs for the two chains of the carry-select circuitry.
As shown in Figure 2–8, the LAB carry-in signal selects either the
carry-in0
or
carry-in1
chain. The selected chain’s logic level in turn determines which parallel
sum is generated as a combinational or registered output. For example, when
implementing an adder, the sum output is the selection of two possible calculated
sums:
data1 + data2 + carry-in0
or
data1 + data2 + carry-in1

The other two LUTs use the
data1
and
data2
signals to generate two possible
carry-out signals: one for a carry of 1 and the other for a carry of 0. The
carry-in0
signal acts as the carry-select for the
carry-out0
output and
carry-in1
acts as the
carry-select for the
carry-out1
output. LEs in arithmetic mode can drive out
registered and unregistered versions of the LUT output.
The dynamic arithmetic mode also offers clock enable, counter enable, synchronous
up/down control, synchronous clear, synchronous load, and dynamic
adder/subtractor options. The LAB local interconnect data inputs generate the
counter enable and synchronous up/down control signals. The synchronous clear
and synchronous load options are LAB-wide signals that affect all registers in the
LAB. The Quartus II software automatically places any registers that are not used by
the counter into other LABs. The
addnsub
LAB-wide signal controls whether the LE
acts as an adder or subtractor.
Carry-Select Chain
The carry-select chain provides a very fast carry-select function between LEs in
dynamic arithmetic mode. The carry-select chain uses the redundant carry calculation
to increase the speed of carry functions. The LE is configured to calculate outputs for a
possible carry-in of 0 and carry-in of 1 in parallel. The
carry-in0
and
carry-in1
signals from a lower-order bit feed forward into the higher-order bit via the parallel
carry chain and feed into both the LUT and the next portion of the carry chain.
Carry-select chains can begin in any LE within an LAB.

The speed advantage of the carry-select chain is in the parallel pre-computation of
carry chains. Because the LAB carry-in selects the precomputed carry chain, not every
LE is in the critical path. Only the propagation delays between LAB carry-in
generation (
LE5
and
LE10
) are now part of the critical path. This feature allows the
MAX V architecture to implement high-speed counters, adders, multipliers, parity
functions, and comparators of arbitrary width.
Figure 2–9 shows the carry-select circuitry in an LAB for a 10-bit full adder. One
portion of the LUT generates the sum of two bits using the input signals and the
appropriate carry-in bit; the sum is routed to the output of the LE. The register can be
bypassed for simple adders or used for accumulator functions. Another portion of the
LUT generates carry-out bits. An LAB-wide carry-in bit selects which chain is used for
the addition of given inputs. The carry-in signal for each chain,
carry-in0
or
carry-in1
, selects the carry-out to carry forward to the carry-in signal of the
next-higher-order bit. The final carry-out signal is routed to an LE, where it is fed to
local, row, or column interconnects.

The Quartus II software automatically creates carry chain logic during design
processing, or you can create it manually during design entry. Parameterized
functions such as LPM functions automatically take advantage of carry chains for the
appropriate functions. The Quartus II software creates carry chains longer than 10 LEs
by linking adjacent LABs within the same row together automatically. A carry chain
can extend horizontally up to one full LAB row, but does not extend between LAB
rows.
Clear and Preset Logic Control
LAB-wide signals control the logic for the register’s clear and preset signals. The LE
directly supports an asynchronous clear and preset function. The register preset is
achieved through the asynchronous load of a logic high. MAX V devices support
simultaneous preset/asynchronous load and clear signals. An asynchronous clear
signal takes precedence if both signals are asserted simultaneously. Each LAB
supports up to two clears and one preset signal.
In addition to the clear and preset ports, MAX V devices provide a chip-wide reset pin
(
DEV_CLRn
) that resets all registers in the device. An option set before compilation in
the Quartus II software controls this pin. This chip-wide reset overrides all other
control signals and uses its own dedicated routing resources without using any of the
four global resources. Driving this signal low before or during power-up prevents
user mode from releasing clears within the design. This allows you to control when
clear is released on a device that has just been powered-up. If not set for its chip-wide
reset function, the
DEV_CLRn
pin is a regular I/O pin.
By default, all registers in MAX V devices are set to power-up low. However, this
power-up state can be set to high on individual registers during design entry using
the Quartus II software.
LE RAM
The Quartus II memory compiler can configure the unused LEs as LE RAM.
MAX V devices support the following memory types:
■FIFO synchronous R/W
■FIFO asynchronous R/W
■1 port SRAM
■2 port SRAM
■3 port SRAM
■shift registers

MultiTrack Interconnect
MAX V Device Handbook December 2010 Altera Corporation
MultiTrack Interconnect
In the MAX V architecture, connections between LEs, the UFM, and device I/O pins
are provided by the MultiTrack interconnect structure. The MultiTrack interconnect
consists of continuous, performance-optimized routing lines used for inter- and
intra-design block connectivity. The Quartus II Compiler automatically places critical
design paths on faster interconnects to improve design performance.
The MultiTrack interconnect consists of row and column interconnects that span fixed
distances. A routing structure with fixed length resources for all devices allows
predictable and short delays between logic levels instead of large delays associated
with global or long routing lines. Dedicated row interconnects route signals to and
from LABs within the same row. These row resources include:
■DirectLink interconnects between LABs
■R4 interconnects traversing four LABs to the right or left
The DirectLink interconnect allows an LAB to drive into the local interconnect of its
left and right neighbors. The DirectLink interconnect provides fast communication
between adjacent LABs and blocks without using row interconnect resources.
The R4 interconnects span four LABs and are used for fast row connections in a
four-LAB region. Every LAB has its own set of R4 interconnects to drive either left or
right. Figure 2–10 shows R4 interconnect connections from an LAB. R4 interconnects
can drive and be driven by row IOEs. For LAB interfacing, a primary LAB or
horizontal LAB neighbor can drive a given R4 interconnect. For R4 interconnects that
drive to the right, the primary LAB and right neighbor can drive on to the
interconnect. For R4 interconnects that drive to the left, the primary LAB and its left
neighbor can drive on to the interconnect. R4 interconnects can drive other R4
interconnects to extend the range of LABs they can drive. R4 interconnects can also
drive C4 interconnects for connections from one row to another.
Chapter 2: MAX V Architecture 2–15
MultiTrack Interconnect
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
The column interconnect operates similarly to the row interconnect. Each column of
LABs is served by a dedicated column interconnect, which vertically routes signals to
and from LABs and row and column IOEs. These column resources include:
■LUT chain interconnects within an LAB
■Register chain interconnects within an LAB
■C4 interconnects traversing a distance of four LABs in an up and down direction
MAX V devices include an enhanced interconnect structure within LABs for routing
LE output to LE input connections faster using LUT chain connections and register
chain connections. The LUT chain connection allows the combinational output of an
LE to directly drive the fast input of the LE right below it, bypassing the local
interconnect. These resources can be used as a high-speed connection for wide fan-in
functions from
LE 1
to
LE 10
in the same LAB. The register chain connection allows
the register output of one LE to connect directly to the register input of the next LE in
the LAB for fast shift registers. The Quartus II Compiler automatically takes
advantage of these resources to improve utilization and performance. Figure 2–11
shows the LUT chain and register chain interconnects.

The C4 interconnects span four LABs up or down from a source LAB. Every LAB has
its own set of C4 interconnects to drive either up or down. Figure 2–12 shows the C4
interconnect connections from an LAB in a column. The C4 interconnects can drive
and be driven by column and row IOEs. For LAB interconnection, a primary LAB or
its vertical LAB neighbor can drive a given C4 interconnect. C4 interconnects can
drive each other to extend their range as well as drive row interconnects for
column-to-column connections.

Global Signals
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
Global Signals
Each MAX V device has four dual-purpose dedicated clock pins (
GCLK[3..0]
, two
pins on the left side and two pins on the right side) that drive the global clock network
for clocking, as shown in Figure 2–13. These four pins can also be used as GPIOs if
they are not used to drive the global clock network.
The four global clock lines in the global clock network drive throughout the entire
device. The global clock network can provide clocks for all resources within the
device including LEs, LAB local interconnect, IOEs, and the UFM block. The global
clock lines can also be used for global control signals, such as clock enables,
synchronous or asynchronous clears, presets, output enables, or protocol control
signals such as
TRDY
and
IRDY
for the PCI I/O standard. Internal logic can drive the
global clock network for internally-generated global clocks and control signals.
Figure 2–13 shows the various sources that drive the global clock network.
The global clock network drives to individual LAB column signals, LAB column
clocks
[3..0]
, that span an entire LAB column from the top to the bottom of the
device. Unused global clocks or control signals in an LAB column are turned off at the
LAB column clock buffers shown in Figure 2–14. The LAB column clocks
[3..0]
are
multiplexed down to two LAB clock signals and one LAB clear signal. Other control
signal types route from the global clock network into the LAB local interconnect. For
more information, refer to “LAB Control Signals” on page 2–6.

User Flash Memory Block
MAX V devices feature a single UFM block, which can be used like a serial EEPROM
for storing non-volatile information up to 8,192 bits. The UFM block connects to the
logic array through the MultiTrack interconnect, allowing any LE to interface to the
UFM block. Figure 2–15 shows the UFM block and interface signals. The logic array is
used to create customer interface or protocol logic to interface the UFM block data
outside of the device. The UFM block offers the following features:
■Non-volatile storage up to 16-bit wide and 8,192 total bits
■Two sectors for partitioned sector erase
■Built-in internal oscillator that optionally drives logic array
■Program, erase, and busy signals
■Auto-increment addressing
■Serial interface to logic array with programmable interface

UFM Storage
Each device stores up to 8,192 bits of data in the UFM block. Table 2–3 lists the data
size, sector, and address sizes for the UFM block.
There are 512 locations with 9-bit addressing ranging from
000h
to
1FFh
. The sector 0
address space is
000h
to
0FFh
and the sector 1 address space is from
100h
to
1FFh
. The
data width is up to 16 bits of data. The Quartus II software automatically creates logic
to accommodate smaller read or program data widths. Erasure of the UFM involves
individual sector erasing (that is, one erase of sector 0 and one erase of sector 1 is
required to erase the entire UFM block). Because sector erase is required before a
program or write operation, having two sectors enables a sector size of data to be left
untouched while the other sector is erased and programmed with new data.
Internal Oscillator
As shown in Figure 2–15, the dedicated circuitry within the UFM block contains an
oscillator. The dedicated circuitry uses this oscillator internally for its read and
program operations. This oscillator's divide by 4 output can drive out of the UFM
block as a logic interface clock source or for general-purpose logic clocking. The
typical
OSC
output signal frequency ranges from 3.9 to 5.3 MHz, and its exact
frequency of operation is not programmable.
The UFM internal oscillator can be instantiated using the MegaWizard™ Plug-In
Manager. You can also use the MAX II/MAX V Oscillator megafunction to instantiate
the UFM oscillator without using the UFM memory block.

Program, Erase, and Busy Signals
The UFM block’s dedicated circuitry automatically generates the necessary internal
program and erase algorithm after the
PROGRAM
or
ERASE
input signals have been
asserted. The
PROGRAM
or
ERASE
signal must be asserted until the busy signal deasserts,
indicating the UFM internal program or erase operation has completed. The UFM
block also supports JTAG as the interface for programming and reading.
fFor more information about programming and erasing the UFM block, refer to the
User Flash Memory in MAX V Devices chapter.
Auto-Increment Addressing
The UFM block supports standard read or stream read operations. The stream read is
supported with an auto-increment address feature. Deasserting the
ARSHIFT
signal
while clocking the
ARCLK
signal increments the address register value to read
consecutive locations from the UFM array.
Serial Interface
The UFM block supports a serial interface with serial address and data signals. The
internal shift registers within the UFM block for address and data are 9 bits and 16 bits
wide, respectively. The Quartus II software automatically generates interface logic in
LEs for a parallel address and data interface to the UFM block. Other standard
protocol interfaces such as SPI are also automatically generated in LE logic by the
Quartus II software.
fFor more information about the UFM interface signals and the Quartus II LE-based
alternate interfaces, refer to the User Flash Memory in MAX V Devices chapter.

UFM Block to Logic Array Interface
The UFM block is a small partition of the flash memory that contains the CFM block,
as shown in Figure 2–1 and Figure 2–2. The UFM block for the 5M40Z, 5M80Z,
5M160Z, and 5M240Z devices is located on the left side of the device adjacent to the
left most LAB column. The UFM blocks for the 5M570Z, 5M1270Z, and 5M2210Z
devices are located at the bottom left of the device. The UFM input and output signals
interface to all types of interconnects (R4 interconnect, C4 interconnect, and
DirectLink interconnect to/from adjacent LAB rows). The UFM signals can also be
driven from global clocks,
GCLK[3..0]
. The interface regions for the 5M40Z, 5M80Z,
5M160Z, and 5M240Z devices are shown in Figure 2–16. The interface regions for
5M570Z, 5M1270Z, and 5M2210Z devices are shown in Figure 2–17.

option is enabled, the Quartus II software automatically routes the register to
guarantee zero hold time. You can set timing assignments in the Quartus II software
to achieve desired I/O timing.

A dedicated fast I/O connection from the adjacent LAB to the IOEs within an I/O
block provides faster output delays for clock-to-output and tPD propagation delays.
This connection exists for data output signals, not output enable signals or input

Each column or row I/O block interfaces with its adjacent LAB and MultiTrack
interconnect to distribute signals throughout the device. The row I/O blocks drive
row, column, or DirectLink interconnects. The column I/O blocks drive column
interconnects.

The 5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices support four I/O banks, as shown in Figure 2–23.
Each of these banks support all of the LVTTL, LVCMOS, LVDS, and RSDS standards
shown in Table 2–4. PCI compliant I/O is supported in Bank 3. Bank 3 supports the
PCI clamping diode on inputs and PCI drive compliance on outputs. You must use
Bank 3 for designs requiring PCI compliant I/O pins. The Quartus II software
automatically places I/O pins in this bank if assigned with the PCI I/O standard.
Each I/O bank has dedicated VCCIO pins that determine the voltage standard support
in that bank. A single device can support 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V interfaces;
each individual bank can support a different standard. Each I/O bank can support
multiple standards with the same VCCIO
for input and output pins. For example, when
VCCIO is 3.3 V, Bank 3 can support LVTTL, LVCMOS, and 3.3-V PCI. VCCIO powers
both the input and output buffers in MAX V devices.
The JTAG pins for MAX V devices are dedicated pins that cannot be used as regular
I/O pins. The pins
TMS
,
TDI
,
TDO
, and
TCK
support all the I/O standards shown in
Table 2–4 on page 2–29 except for PCI and 1.2-V LVCMOS. These pins reside in Bank 1
for all MAX V devices and their I/O standard support is controlled by the VCCIO
setting for Bank 1.

PCI Compliance
The MAX V 5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices are compliant with PCI applications as
well as all 3.3-V electrical specifications in the PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2.
These devices are also large enough to support PCI intellectual property (IP) cores.
Table 2–5 shows the MAX V device speed grades that meet the PCI timing
specifications.
LVDS and RSDS Channels
The MAX V device supports emulated LVDS and RSDS outputs on both row and
column I/O banks. You can configure the rows and columns as emulated LVDS or
RSDS output buffers that use two single-ended output buffers with three external
resistor networks.
Schmitt Trigger
The input buffer for each MAX V device I/O pin has an optional Schmitt trigger
setting for the 3.3-V and 2.5-V standards. The Schmitt trigger allows input buffers to
respond to slow input edge rates with a fast output edge rate. Most importantly,
Schmitt triggers provide hysteresis on the input buffer, preventing slow-rising noisy
input signals from ringing or oscillating on the input signal driven into the logic array.
This provides system noise tolerance on MAX V inputs, but adds a small, nominal
input delay.
The JTAG input pins (
TMS
,
TCK
, and
TDI
) have Schmitt trigger buffers that are always
enabled.
1The
TCK
input is susceptible to high pulse glitches when the input signal fall time is
greater than 200 ns for all I/O standards.

Output Enable Signals
Each MAX V IOE output buffer supports output enable signals for tri-state control.
The output enable signal can originate from the
GCLK[3..0]
global signals or from the
MultiTrack interconnect. The MultiTrack interconnect routes output enable signals
and allows for a unique output enable for each output or bidirectional pin.
MAX V devices also provide a chip-wide output enable pin (
DEV_OE
) to control the
output enable for every output pin in the design. An option set before compilation in
the Quartus II software controls this pin. This chip-wide output enable uses its own
routing resources and does not use any of the four global resources. If this option is
turned on, all outputs on the chip operate normally when
DEV_OE
is asserted. When
the pin is deasserted, all outputs are tri-stated. If this option is turned off, the
DEV_OE
pin is disabled when the device operates in user mode and is available as a user I/O
pin.
Programmable Drive Strength
The output buffer for each MAX V device I/O pin has two levels of programmable
drive strength control for each of the LVTTL and LVCMOS I/O standards.
Programmable drive strength provides system noise reduction control for high
performance I/O designs. Although a separate slew-rate control feature exists, using
the lower drive strength setting provides signal slew-rate control to reduce system
noise and signal overshoot without the large delay adder associated with the
slew-rate control feature. Table 2–7 lists the possible settings for the I/O standards
with drive strength control. The Quartus II software uses the maximum current
strength as the default setting. The PCI I/O standard is always set at 20 mA with no
alternate setting.
1The programmable drive strength feature can be used simultaneously with the
slew-rate control feature.

the IOH condition is VOUT = 1.7 V and the IOL condition is VOUT = 0.7 V.
2–34 Chapter 2: MAX V Architecture
I/O Structure
MAX V Device Handbook December 2010 Altera Corporation
Slew-Rate Control
The output buffer for each MAX V device I/O pin has a programmable output
slew-rate control that can be configured for low noise or high-speed performance. A
faster slew rate provides high-speed transitions for high-performance systems.
However, these fast transitions may introduce noise transients into the system. A slow
slew rate reduces system noise, but adds a nominal output delay to rising and falling
edges. The lower the voltage standard (for example, 1.8-V LVTTL) the larger the
output delay when slow slew is enabled. Each I/O pin has an individual slew-rate
control, allowing you to specify the slew rate on a pin-by-pin basis. The slew-rate
control affects both the rising and falling edges. If no slew-rate control is specified, the
Quartus II software defaults to a fast slew rate.
1The slew-rate control feature can be used simultaneously with the programmable
drive strength feature.
Open-Drain Output
MAX V devices provide an optional open-drain (equivalent to open-collector) output
for each I/O pin. This open-drain output enables the device to provide system-level
control signals (for example, interrupt and write enable signals) that can be asserted
by any of several devices. This output can also provide an additional wired-OR plane.
Programmable Ground Pins
Each unused I/O pin on MAX V devices can be used as an additional ground pin.
This programmable ground feature does not require the use of the associated LEs in
the device. In the Quartus II software, unused pins can be set as programmable GND
on a global default basis or they can be individually assigned. Unused pins also have
the option of being set as tri-stated input pins.
Bus-Hold
Each MAX V device I/O pin provides an optional bus-hold feature. The bus-hold
circuitry can hold the signal on an I/O pin at its last-driven state. Because the bus-
hold feature holds the last-driven state of the pin until the next input signal is present,
an external pull-up or pull-down resistor is not necessary to hold a signal level when
the bus is tri-stated.
The bus-hold circuitry also pulls un-driven pins away from the input threshold
voltage where noise can cause unintended high-frequency switching. You can select
this feature individually for each I/O pin. The bus-hold output will drive no higher
than VCCIO to prevent overdriving signals. If the bus-hold feature is enabled, the
device cannot use the programmable pull-up option.
The bus-hold circuitry is only active after the device has fully initialized. The bus-hold
circuit captures the value on the pin present at the moment user mode is entered.
Chapter 2: MAX V Architecture 2–35
I/O Structure
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
Programmable Pull-Up Resistor
Each MAX V device I/O pin provides an optional programmable pull-up resistor
during user mode. If you enable this feature for an I/O pin, the pull-up resistor holds
the output to the VCCIO level of the output pin’s bank.
1The programmable pull-up resistor feature should not be used at the same time as the
bus-hold feature on a given I/O pin.
1The programmable pull-up resistor is active during power-up, ISP, and if the device is
unprogrammed.
Programmable Input Delay
The MAX V IOE includes a programmable input delay that is activated to ensure zero
hold times. A path where a pin directly drives a register, with minimal routing
between the two, may require the delay to ensure zero hold time. However, a path
where a pin drives a register through long routing or through combinational logic
may not require the delay to achieve a zero hold time. The Quartus II software uses
this delay to ensure zero hold times when needed.
MultiVolt I/O Interface
The MAX V architecture supports the MultiVolt I/O interface feature, which allows
MAX V devices in all packages to interface with systems of different supply voltages.
The devices have one set of
VCC
pins for internal operation (VCCINT), and up to four
sets for input buffers and I/O output driver buffers (VCCIO), depending on the
number of I/O banks available in the devices where each set of
VCCIO
pins powers one
I/O bank. The 5M40Z, 5M80Z, 5M160Z, 5M240Z, and 5M570Z devices each have two
I/O banks while the 5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices each have four I/O banks.

pins to either a 1.2-, 1.5-, 1.8-, 2.5-, or 3.3-V power supply, depending
on the output requirements. The output levels are compatible with systems of the
same voltage as the power supply (that is, when
VCCIO
pins are connected to a 1.5-V
power supply, the output levels are compatible with 1.5-V systems). When
VCCIO
pins
are connected to a 3.3-V power supply, the output high is 3.3 V and is compatible with
3.3-V or 5.0-V systems. Table 2–8 summarizes MAX V MultiVolt I/O support.

Notes to Ta ble 2– 8 :
(1) To drive inputs higher than VCCIO but less than 4.0 V including the overshoot, disable the I/O clamp diode. However, to drive 5.0-V signals to
the device, enable the I/O clamp diode to prevent VI from rising above 4.0 V. Use an external diode if the I/O pin does not support the clamp
diode.
(2) When VCCIO = 1.8 V, a MAX V device can drive a 1.2-V or 1.5-V device with 1.8-V tolerant inputs.
(3) When VCCIO = 2.5 V, a MAX V device can drive a 1.2-V, 1.5-V, or 1.8-V device with 2.5-V tolerant inputs.
(4) When VCCIO = 3.3 V and a 2.5-V input signal feeds an input pin, the VCCIO supply current will be slightly larger than expected.
(5) MAX V devices can be 5.0-V tolerant with the use of an external resistor and the internal I/O clamp diode on the 5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices.
Use an external clamp diode if the internal clamp diode is not available.
(6) When VCCIO = 3.3 V, a MAX V device can drive a 1.2-V, 1.5-V, 1.8-V, or 2.5-V device with 3.3-V tolerant inputs.
(7) When VCCI O = 3.3 V, a MAX V device can drive a device with 5.0-V TTL inputs but not 5.0-V CMOS inputs. For 5.0-V CMOS, open-drain setting
with internal I/O clamp diode (available only on 5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices) and external resistor is required. Use an external clamp diode
if the internal clamp diode is not available.

Notes to Table 3–2:
(1) MAX V device ISP and/or user flash memory (UFM) programming using JTAG or logic array is not guaranteed outside the recommended
operating conditions (for example, if brown-out occurs in the system during a potential write/program sequence to the UFM, Altera recommends
that you read back the UFM contents and verify it against the intended write data).
(2) The minimum DC input is –0.5 V. During transitions, the inputs may undershoot to –2.0 V for input currents less than 100 mA and periods
shorter than 20 ns.
(3) During transitions, the inputs may overshoot to the voltages shown below based on the input duty cycle. The DC case is equivalent to 100%
duty cycle. For more information about 5.0-V tolerance, refer to the Using MAX V Devices in Multi-Voltage Systems chapter.
VIN Max. Duty Cycle

4.4 V 17%
4.5 V 10%
(4) All pins, including the clock, I/O, and JTAG pins, may be driven before VCCINT and VCCIO are powered.
(5) For the extended temperature range of 100 to 125°C, MAX V UFM programming (erase/write) is only supported using the JTAG interface. UFM
programming using the logic array interface is not guaranteed in this range.

Timing Model and Specifications
MAX V devices timing can be analyzed with the Altera Quartus®II software, a variety
of industry-standard EDA simulators and timing analyzers, or with the timing model
shown in Figure 3–2.
MAX V devices have predictable internal delays that allow you to determine the
worst-case timing of any design. The software provides timing simulation,
point-to-point delay prediction, and detailed timing analysis for device-wide
performance evaluation.
You can derive the timing characteristics of any signal path from the timing model
and parameters of a particular device. You can calculate external timing parameters,
which represent pin-to-pin timing delays, as the sum of the internal parameters.

are preliminary. Table 3–16 lists the status of the MAX V device timing models.
Preliminary status means the timing model is subject to change. Initially, timing
numbers are created using simulation results, process data, and other known
parameters. These tests are used to make the preliminary numbers as close to the
actual timing parameters as possible.
Final timing numbers are based on actual device operation and testing. These
numbers reflect the actual performance of the device under the worst-case voltage
and junction temperature conditions.
Performance
Table 3–17 lists the MAX V device performance for some common designs. All
performance values were obtained with the Quartus II software compilation of
megafunctions.

External Timing I/O Delay Adders
The I/O delay timing parameters for the I/O standard input and output adders and
the input delays are specified by speed grade, independent of device density.
Table 3–32 through Table 3–36 on page 3–25 list the adder delays associated with I/O
pins for all packages. If you select an I/O standard other than 3.3-V LVTTL, add the
input delay adder to the external tSU timing parameters listed in Table 3–26 on
page 3–20 through Table 3–31. If you select an I/O standard other than 3.3-V LVTTL
with 16 mA drive strength and fast slew rate, add the output delay adder to the
external tCO and tPD listed in Table 3–26 on page 3–20 through Table 3–31 .

4. Hot Socketing and Power-On Reset in
MAX V Devices
This chapter provides information about hot-socketing specifications, power-on reset
(POR) requirements, and their implementation in MAXV devices.
MAX V devices offer hot socketing, also known as hot plug-in or hot swap, and
power sequencing support. You can insert or remove a MAX V device in a system
during system operation without causing undesirable effects to the running system
bus. The hot-socketing feature removes some of the difficulty when using MAX V
devices on PCBs that contain a mixture of 3.3-, 2.5-, 1.8-, and 1.5-V devices.
The MAX V hot-socketing feature provides the following:
■Board or device insertion and removal
■Support for any power-up sequence
■Non-intrusive I/O buffers to system buses during hot insertion
This chapter contains the following sections:
■“MAX V Hot-Socketing Specifications” on page 4–1
■“Hot-Socketing Feature Implementation in MAX V Devices” on page 4–3
■“Power-On Reset Circuitry” on page 4–5
MAX V Hot-Socketing Specifications
MAX V devices offer the hot-socketing feature without the need for external
components or special design requirements. The advantages of hot-socketing support
in MAX V devices includes the following:
■The device can be driven before and during power up or power down without
damaging the device.
■I/O pins remain tri-stated during power up. The device does not drive out before
or during power up, thereby affecting other operating buses.
■Signal pins do not drive the VCCIO or VCCINT power supplies. External input signals
to the device I/O pins do not power the device VCCIO or VCCINT power supplies
using internal paths. This is true if the VCCINT and VCCIO power supplies are held at
GND.
1Altera uses GND as a reference for the hot-socketing and I/O buffers circuitry
designs. To ensure device reliability and compliance to the hot-socketing
specifications, you must connect GND between boards before connecting the VCCINT
and VCCIO power supplies.

4–2 Chapter 4: Hot Socketing and Power-On Reset in MAX V Devices
MAX V Hot-Socketing Specifications
MAX V Device Handbook December 2010 Altera Corporation
Devices Can Be Driven Before Power Up
You can drive signals into the I/O pins and
GCLK[3..0]
pins of MAX V devices before
or during power up or power down without damaging the device. To simplify the
system-level design, MAX V devices support any power-up or power-down sequence
(VCCIO1, VCCIO2, VCCIO3, VCCIO4, and VCCINT).
I/O Pins Remain Tri-Stated During Power Up
A device that does not support hot socketing may interrupt system operation or cause
contention by driving out before or during power up. In a hot-socketing situation, the
MAX V device’s output buffers are turned off during system power up. MAX V
devices do not drive out until the device attains proper operating conditions and is
fully configured. For more information about turn-on voltages, refer to “Power-On
Reset Circuitry” on page 4–5.
Signal Pins Do Not Drive the VCCIO or VCCINT Power Supplies
MAX V devices do not have a current path from the I/O pins or
GCLK[3..0]
pins to
the VCCIO or VCCINT power supplies before or during power up. A MAX V device may
be inserted into (or removed from) a system board that is powered up without
damaging or interfering with system-board operation. When hot socketing, MAX V
devices may have a minimal effect on the signal integrity of the backplane.
AC and DC Specifications
You can power up or power down the VCCIO and VCCINT power supplies in any
sequence. During hot socketing, the I/O pin capacitance is less than 8 pF. MAX V
devices meet the following hot-socketing specifications:
■DC specification: | IIOPIN | < 300 A.
■AC specification: | IIOPIN | < 8 mA for 10 ns or less.
1MAX V devices are immune to latch-up when hot socketing. If the
TCK
JTAG input pin
is driven high during hot socketing, the current on that pin might exceed the
specifications listed above.
IIOPIN is the current for any user I/O pin on the device. The AC specification applies
when the device is being powered up or powered down. This specification takes into
account the pin capacitance but not the board trace and external loading capacitance.
You must consider additional capacitance for trace, connector, and loading separately.
The peak current duration due to power-up transients is 10 ns or less.
The DC specification applies when all VCC supplies to the device are stable in the
powered-up or powered-down conditions.
Chapter 4: Hot Socketing and Power-On Reset in MAX V Devices 4–3
Hot-Socketing Feature Implementation in MAX V Devices
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
Hot-Socketing Feature Implementation in MAX V Devices
The hot-socketing feature tri-states the output buffer during the power-up event
(either the VCCINT or VCCIO power supplies) or power-down event. The hot-socketing
circuitry generates an internal
HOTSCKT
signal when either VCCINT or VCCIO is below
the threshold voltage during power up or power down. The
HOTSCKT
signal cuts off
the output buffer to ensure that no DC current leaks through the pin (except for weak
pull-up leaking). When VCC ramps up very slowly during power up, VCC may still be
relatively low even after the POR signal is released and device configuration is
complete.
1Ensure that VCCINT is within the recommended operating range even though SRAM
download has completed.
Figure 4–1 shows the circuitry for each I/O and clock pin.
The POR circuit monitors the VCCINT and VCCIO voltage levels and keeps the I/O pins
tri-stated until the device has completed its flash memory configuration of the SRAM
logic. The weak pull-up resistor (R) from the I/O pin to VCCIO is enabled during
download to keep the I/O pins from floating. The 3.3-V tolerance control circuit
permits the I/O pins to be driven by 3.3 V before VCCIO and/or VCCINT are powered,
and it prevents the I/O pins from driving out when the device is not fully powered or
operational. The hot-socketing circuitry prevents the I/O pins from internally
powering VCCIO and VCCINT when driven by external signals before the device is
powered.
fFor more information about the 5.0-V tolerance, refer to the Using MAX V Devices in
Multi-Voltage Systems chapter.

Figure 4–2 shows a transistor-level cross section of the MAX V device I/O buffers.
This design ensures that the output buffers do not drive when VCCIO is powered
before VCCINT or if the I/O pad voltage is higher than VCCIO. This also applies for
sudden voltage spikes during hot insertion. The VPAD leakage current charges the
3.3-V tolerant circuit capacitance.
The CMOS output drivers in the I/O pins intrinsically provide electrostatic discharge
(ESD) protection. There are two cases to consider for ESD voltage strikes—positive
voltage zap and negative voltage zap.
A positive ESD voltage zap occurs when a positive voltage is present on an I/O pin
due to an ESD charge event. This can cause the N+ (Drain)/ P-Substrate junction of
the N-channel drain to break down and the N+ (Drain)/P-Substrate/N+ (Source)
intrinsic bipolar transistor turn on to discharge ESD current from I/O pin to GND.
The dashed line in Figure 4–3 shows the ESD current discharge path during a positive
ESD zap.

Power-On Reset Circuitry
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
When the I/O pin receives a negative ESD zap at the pin that is less than –0.7 V (0.7 V
is the voltage drop across a diode), the intrinsic
P-Substrate/N+ drain diode is forward biased. Therefore, the discharge ESD current
path is from GND to the I/O pin, as shown in Figure 4–4.
Power-On Reset Circuitry
MAX V devices have POR circuits to monitor the VCCINT and VCCIO voltage levels
during power up. The POR circuit monitors these voltages, triggering download from
the non-volatile configuration flash memory block to the SRAM logic, maintaining the
tri-state of the I/O pins (with weak pull-up resistors enabled) before and during this
process. When the MAX V device enters user mode, the POR circuit releases the I/O
pins to user functionality. The POR circuit of the MAX V device does not monitor the
VCCINT voltage level after the device enters into user mode.
Power-Up Characteristics
When power is applied to a MAX V device, the POR circuit monitors VCCINT and
begins SRAM download at 1.55 V for MAX V devices. From this voltage reference, the
SRAM download and entry into user mode takes 200 to 450 µs maximum, depending
on your device density. This period of time is specified as tCONFIG in the power-up
timing section of the DC and Switching Characteristics for MAX V Devices chapter.
Entry into user mode is gated by whether all the VCCIO banks are powered with
sufficient operating voltage. If VCCINT and VCCIO are powered simultaneously, the
device enters user mode within the tCONFIG specifications. If VCCIO is powered more
than tCONFIG after VCCINT, the device does not enter user mode until 2 µs after all VCCIO
banks are powered.

For MAX V devices, the POR circuitry does not monitor the VCCINT and VCCIO voltage
levels after the device enters user mode. If there is a VCCINT voltage sag below 1.4 V
during user mode, the functionality of the device is not guaranteed and you must
power down VCCINT to 250 mV for a minimum of 10 µs before powering VCCINT and
VCCIO up again. After VCCINT rises from 250 mV back to approximately 1.55 V, the
SRAM download restarts and the device begins to operate after the tCONFIG time has
passed.
Figure 4–5 shows the voltages for POR of MAX V devices during power up into user
mode and from user mode to power down or brown out.
1All VCCINT and VCCIO power supplies of all banks must be powered on before entering
user mode.
1After SRAM configuration, all registers in the device are cleared and released into
user function before the I/O tri-states are released. To release clears after the tri-states
are released, use the
DEV_CLRn
pin option. To hold the tri-states beyond the power-up
configuration time, use the
DEV_OE
pin option.

5. Using MAX V Devices in Multi-Voltage
Systems
This chapter describes how to implement Altera® devices in multi-voltage systems
without damaging the device or the system.
Technological advancements in deep submicron processes have lowered the supply
voltage levels of semiconductor devices, creating a design environment where devices
on a system board may potentially use many different supply voltages such as 5.0, 3.3,
2.5, 1.8, 1.5, and 1.2 V, which can ultimately lead to voltage conflicts.
To accommodate interfacing with a variety of devices on system boards, MAX®V
devices have MultiVolt I/O interfaces that allow devices in a mixed-voltage design
environment to communicate directly with MAX V devices. The MultiVolt interface
separates the power supply voltage (VCCINT) from the output voltage (VCCIO),
allowing MAX V devices to interface with other devices using a different voltage level
on the same PCB. The 1.8-V input directly powers the core of the MAX V devices.

Socketing and Power-On Reset in MAX V Devices chapter.

MultiVolt I/O Operation
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
MultiVolt I/O Operation
MAX V devices allow the device core and I/O blocks to be powered-up with separate
supply voltages. The
VCCINT
pins supply power to the device core and the
VCCIO
pins
supply power to the device I/O buffers. The
VCCINT
pins are powered-up with 1.8 V
for MAX V devices. All the
VCCIO
pins for a given I/O bank that have MultiVolt
capability must be supplied from the same voltage level (for example, 5.0, 3.3, 2.5, 1.8,
1.5, or 1.2 V). Figure 5–2 shows how to implement a multiple-voltage system for
MAX V devices.
5.0-V Device Compatibility
A MAX V device can drive a 5.0-V TTL device by connecting the
VCCIO
pins of the
MAX V device to 3.3 V. This is possible because the output high voltage (VOH) of a
3.3-V interface meets the minimum high-level voltage of 2.4 V of a 5.0-V TTL device.
A MAX V device may not correctly interoperate with a 5.0-V CMOS device if the
output of the MAX V device is connected directly to the input of the 5.0-V CMOS
device. If the MAX V device‘s VOUT is greater than VCCIO, the PMOS pull-up transistor
still conducts if the pin is driving high, preventing an external pull-up resistor from
pulling the signal to 5.0 V. To make MAX V device outputs compatible with 5.0-V
CMOS devices, configure the output pins as open-drain pins with the I/O clamp
diode enabled and use an external pull-up resistor.
Figure 5–2. Implementing a Multi-Voltage System with a MAX V Device (Note 1), (2)
Notes to Figure 5–2:
(1) MAX V devices can drive a 5.0-V transistor-to-transistor logic (TTL) input when VCCIO = 3.3 V. To drive a 5.0-V
CMOS, you must have an open-drain setting with an internal I/O clamp diode and external resistor.
(2) MAX V devices can be 5.0-V tolerant with the use of an external resistor and the internal I/O clamp diode on
5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices.

5.0-V Device Compatibility

Figure 5–3 shows MAX V device compatibility with 5.0-V CMOS devices.
The open-drain pin never drives high, only low or tri-state. When the open-drain pin
is active, it drives low. When the open-drain pin is inactive, the pin is tri-stated and
the trace pulls up to 5.0 V by the external resistor. The purpose of enabling the I/O
clamp diode is to protect the MAX V device’s I/O pins. The 3.3-V VCCIO supplied to
the I/O clamp diodes causes the voltage at point A to clamp at 4.0 V, which meets the
MAX V device’s reliability limits when the trace voltage exceeds 4.0 V. The device
operates successfully because a 5.0-V input is within its input specification.
1The I/O clamp diode is only supported in the 5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices’ I/O
Bank 3. You must have an external protection diode for the other I/O banks in the
5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices and all the I/O pins in the 5M40Z, 5M80Z, 5M160Z,
5M240Z, and 5M570Z devices.
The pull-up resistor value must be small enough for a sufficient signal rise time, but
large enough so that it does not violate the IOL (output low) specification of the
MAX V devices.
The maximum MAX V device IOL depends on the programmable drive strength of the
I/O output. Table 5–1 lists the programmable drive strength settings that are available
for the 3.3-V LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O standard for MAX V devices. The Quartus II
software uses the maximum current strength as the default setting. The PCI I/O
standard is always set to 20 mA with no alternate setting.

5.0-V Device Compatibility
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
To compute the required value of REXT, first calculate the model of the open-drain
transistors on the MAX V device. You can model this output resistor (REXT) by
dividing VOL by IOL (REXT = VOL/IOL). Table 5–2 lists the maximum VOL for the 3.3-V
LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O standard for MAX V devices.
fFor more information about I/O standard specifications, refer to the DC and Switching
Characteristics for MAX V Devices chapter.
Select REXT so that the MAX V device’s IOL specification is not violated. You can
compute the required pull-up resistor value of REXT by using the equation:
REXT =(V
CC/IOL)–R
INT. For example, if an I/O pin is configured as a 3.3-V LVTTL
with a 16 mA drive strength, given that the maximum power supply (VCC) is 5.5 V,
you can calculate the value of REXT as follows:
This resistor value computation assumes worst-case conditions. You can adjust the
REXT value according to the device configuration drive strength. Additionally, if your
system does not see a wide variation in voltage-supply levels, you can adjust these
calculations accordingly.
Because MAX V devices are 3.3-V, 32-bit, 66-MHz PCI compliant, the input circuitry
accepts a maximum high-level input voltage (VIH) of 4.0 V. To drive a MAX V device
with a 5.0-V device, you must connect a resistor (R2) between the MAX V device and
the 5.0-V device.

Figure 5–4 shows how to drive a MAX V PCI-compliant device with a 5.0-V device.
If VCCIO for the MAX V devices is 3.3 V and you enabled the I/O clamp diode, the
voltage at point B in Figure 5–4 is 4.0 V, which meets the MAX V devices reliability
limits when the trace voltage exceeds 4.0 V. To limit large current draw from the 5.0-V
device, R2 must be small enough for a fast signal rise time and large enough so that it
does not violate the high-level output current (IOH) specifications of the devices
driving the trace.
To compute the required value of R2, first calculate the model of the pull-up
transistors on the 5.0-V device. You can model this output resistor (R1) by dividing the
5.0-V device supply voltage (VCC) by IOH: R1=V
CC/IOH.
Figure 5–5 shows an example of typical output drive characteristics of a 5.0 V device.

Recommended Operating Conditions for 5.0-V Compatibility
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
As shown in Figure 5–5, R1= 5.0 V/135 mA.
The values usually shown in the data sheets reflect typical operating conditions.
Subtract 20% from the data sheet value for guard band. When you subtract the 20%
from the previous example, the R1 value is 30.
Select R2 so that the MAX V device’s IOH specification is not violated. For example, if
the above device has a maximum IOH of 8 mA, given the I/O clamp diode,
VIN =V
CCIO + 0.7 V = 3.7 V. Given that the maximum supply load of a 5.0-V device
(VCC) is 5.5 V, calculate value of R2 as follows:
This analysis assumes worst-case conditions. If your system does not see a wide
variation in voltage-supply levels, you can adjust these calculations accordingly.
Because 5.0-V device tolerance in MAX V devices requires the use of the I/O clamp,
and this clamp is activated only after power-up, 5.0-V signals may not be driven into
the device until it is configured. The I/O clamp diode is only supported in the
5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices’ I/O Bank 3. You must have an external protection
diode for the other I/O banks for the 5M1270Z and 5M2210Z devices and all the I/O
pins in the 5M40Z, 5M80Z, 5M160Z, 5M240Z, and 5M570Z devices.
Recommended Operating Conditions for 5.0-V Compatibility
As mentioned earlier, a 5.0-V tolerance can be supported with the I/O clamp diode
enabled with external series/pull-up resistance. To guarantee long term reliability of
the device’s I/O buffer, there are restrictions on the signal duty cycle that drive the
MAX V I/O, which is based on the maximum clamp current. Table 5– 3 lists the
maximum signal duty cycle for the 3.3-V VCCIO given a PCI clamp current-handling
capability.

Power-Up Sequencing
MAX V Device Handbook December 2010 Altera Corporation
1For signals with a duty cycle greater than 30% on MAX V input pins, Altera
recommends using a VCCIO voltage of 3.0 V to guarantee long-term I/O reliability. For
signals with a duty cycle less than 30%, the VCCIO voltage can be 3.3 V.
Power-Up Sequencing
MAX V devices are designed to operate in multi-voltage environments where it may
be difficult to control power sequencing. Therefore, MAX V devices are designed to
tolerate any possible power-up sequence. Either VCCINT or VCCIO can initially supply
power to the device and 3.3-, 2.5-, 1.8-, 1.5-, or 1.2-V input signals can drive the
devices without special precautions before VCCINT or VCCIO is applied. MAX V devices
can operate with a VCCIO voltage level that is higher than the VCCINT level.
When VCCIO and VCCINT are supplied from different power sources to a MAX V
device, a delay between VCCIO and VCCINT may occur. Normal operation does not
occur until both power supplies are in their recommended operating range. When
VCCINT is powered-up, the IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG circuitry is active. If
TMS
and
TCK
are
connected to VCCIO and VCCIO is not powered-up, the JTAG signals are left floating.
Thus, any transition on
TCK
can cause the state machine to transition to an unknown
JTAG state, leading to incorrect operation when VCCIO is finally powered-up. To
disable the JTAG state during the power-up sequence, pull
TCK
low to ensure that an
inadvertent rising edge does not occur on
TCK
.

6. JTAG and In-System Programmability
in MAX V Devices
This chapter describes the IEEE Standard 1149.1 JTAG BST circuitry that is supported
in MAX®V devices and how you can enable concurrent in-system programming of
multiple devices in a minimum time with the IEEE Standard 1532 in-system
programmability (ISP). This chapter also describes the programming sequence, types
of programming with the Quartus®II software or external hardware, and design
security.
This chapter includes the following sections:
■“IEEE Std. 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Support” on page 6–1
■“In-System Programmability” on page 6–5
IEEE Std. 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Support
All MAX V devices provide JTAG BST circuitry that complies with the
IEEE Std. 1149.1-2001 specification. You can only perform JTAG boundary-scan
testing after you have fully powered the VCCINT and all VCCIO banks and a certain
amount of configuration time (tCONFIG) have passed. For in-system programming,
MAX V devices can use the JTAG port with either the Quartus II software or
hardware with Programmer Object File (.pof), Jam™ Standard Test and Programming
Language (STAPL) Format File (.jam), or Jam Byte Code Files (.jbc).
JTAG pins support 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V I/O standards. The VCCIO of the bank
where it is located determines the supported voltage level and standard. The
dedicated JTAG pins reside in Bank 1 of all MAX V devices.
Table 6–1 lists the JTAG instructions supported in MAX V devices.

fFor more information about JTAG BST, refer to the JTAG Boundary-Scan Testing for
MAX V Devices chapter.
JTAG Block
If you issue either the
USER0
or
USER1
instruction to the JTAG test access port (TAP)
controller, the MAX V JTAG block feature allows you to access the JTAG TAP
controller and state signals. The
USER0
and
USER1
instructions bring the JTAG
boundary-scan chain (
TDI
) through the user logic instead of the boundary-scan cells
(BSCs) of MAX V devices. Each
USER
instruction allows for one unique user-defined
JTAG chain into the logic array.
Parallel Flash Loader
MAX V devices have the ability to interface JTAG to non-JTAG devices and are
suitable to use with the general flash memory devices that require programming
during the in-circuit test. You can use the flash memory devices for FPGA
configuration or be part of the system memory. In many cases, you can use the
MAX V device as a bridge device that controls configuration between FPGA and flash
devices. Unlike ISP-capable CPLDs, bulk flash devices do not have JTAG TAP pins or
connections. For small flash devices, it is common to use the serial JTAG scan chain of
a connected device to program the non-JTAG flash device but this is slow, inefficient,
and impractical for large parallel flash devices. Using the MAX V JTAG block as a
parallel flash loader (PFL) with the Quartus II software to program and verify flash
contents provides a fast and cost-effective means of in-circuit programming during
testing.
fFor more information about PFL, refer to the Parallel Flash Loader Megafunction User
Guide.
Chapter 6: JTAG and In-System Programmability in MAX V Devices 6–5
In-System Programmability
May 2011 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
Figure 6–1 shows how you can use the MAX V JTAG block as a PFL.
In-System Programmability
You can program MAX V devices in-system through the industry standard 4-pin
IEEE Std. 1149.1 interface. ISP offers quick and efficient iterations during design
development and debugging cycles. The flash-based SRAM configuration elements
configure the logic, circuitry, and interconnects in the MAX V architecture. Each time
the device is powered up, the configuration data is loaded into the SRAM elements.
The process of loading the SRAM data is called configuration. The on-chip
configuration flash memory (CFM) block stores the configuration data of the SRAM
element. The CFM block stores the configuration pattern of your design in a
reprogrammable flash array. During ISP, the MAX V JTAG and ISP circuitry programs
the design pattern into the non-volatile flash array of the CFM block.
The MAX V JTAG and ISP controller internally generate the high programming
voltages required to program the CFM cells, allowing in-system programming with
any of the recommended operating external voltage supplies. You can configure the
ISP anytime after you have fully powered VCCINT and all VCCIO banks, and the device
has completed the configuration power-up time. By default, during in-system
programming, the I/O pins are tri-stated and weakly pulled-up to VCCIO banks to
eliminate board conflicts. The in-system programming clamp and real-time ISP
feature allow user control of the I/O state or behavior during ISP.
For more information, refer to “In-System Programming Clamp” on page 6–7 and
“Real-Time ISP” on page 6–8.
These devices also offer an
ISP_DONE
bit that provides safe operation if in-system
programming is interrupted. This
ISP_DONE
bit, which is the last bit programmed,
prevents all I/O pins from driving until the bit is programmed.

IEEE 1532 Support
The JTAG circuitry and ISP instruction set in MAX V devices are compliant to the
IEEE-1532-2002 programming specification. This provides industry-standard
hardware and software for in-system programming among multiple vendor
programmable logic devices (PLDs) in a JTAG chain.
fFor more information about MAX V 1532 Boundary-Scan Description Language
(.bsd) files, refer to the IEEE 1532 BSDL Files page of the Altera website.
Jam Standard Test and Programming Language
You can use the Jam STAPL to program MAX V devices with in-circuit testers, PCs, or
embedded processors. The Jam byte code is also supported for MAX V devices. These
software programming protocols provide a compact embedded solution for
programming MAX V devices.
fFor more information, refer to AN 425: Using Command-Line Jam STAPL Solution for
Device Programming.
Programming Sequence
During in-system programming, 1532 instructions, addresses, and data are shifted
into the MAX V device through the
TDI
input pin. Data is shifted out through the
TDO
output pin and compared with the expected data.
To program a pattern into the device, follow these steps:
1. Enter ISP—The enter ISP stage ensures that the I/O pins transition smoothly from
user mode to ISP mode.
2. Check ID—The silicon ID is checked before any Program or Verify process. The
time required to read this silicon ID is relatively small compared to the overall
programming time.
3. Sector Erase—Erasing the device in-system involves shifting in the instruction to
erase the device and applying an erase pulse or pulses. The erase pulse is
automatically generated internally by waiting in the run, test, or idle state for the
specified erase pulse time of 500 ms for the CFM block and 500 ms for each sector
of the user flash memory (UFM) block.
4. Program—Programming the device in-system involves shifting in the address,
data, and program instruction and generating the program pulse to program the
flash cells. The program pulse is automatically generated internally by waiting in
the run/test/idle state for the specified program pulse time of 75 µs. This process
is repeated for each address in the CFM and UFM blocks.
5. Verify—Verifying a MAX V device in-system involves shifting in addresses,
applying the verify instruction to generate the read pulse, and shifting out the data
for comparison. This process is repeated for each CFM and UFM address.
6. Exit ISP—An exit ISP stage ensures that the I/O pins transition smoothly from ISP
mode to user mode.
Chapter 6: JTAG and In-System Programmability in MAX V Devices 6–7
In-System Programmability
May 2011 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
A stand-alone verification of a programmed pattern involves only steps 1, 2, 5, and 6.
These steps are automatically executed by third-party programmers, the Quartus II
software, or the Jam STAPL and Jam Byte-Code Players.
Table 6–4 lists the programming times for MAX V devices with in-circuit testers to
execute the algorithm vectors in hardware. Because of data processing and data
transfer limitations, software-based programming tools used with download cables
are slightly slower.
User Flash Memory Programming
The Quartus II software (with the use of .pof, .jam, or .jbc files) supports
programming of the UFM block independent of the logic array design pattern stored
in the CFM block. This allows updating or reading UFM contents through ISP without
altering the current logic array design, or vice versa. By default, these programming
files and methods program the entire flash memory contents, which includes the CFM
block and UFM contents. The stand-alone embedded Jam STAPL Player and Jam
Byte-Code Player provide action commands for programming or reading the entire
flash memory (UFM and CFM together) or each independently.
fFor more information, refer to AN 425: Using the Command-Line Jam STAPL Solution for
Device Programming.
In-System Programming Clamp
By default, the IEEE 1532 instruction used for entering ISP automatically tri-states all
I/O pins with weak pull-up resistors for the duration of the ISP sequence. However,
some systems may require certain pins on MAX V devices to maintain a specific DC
logic level during an in-field update. For these systems, you can use the optional in-
system programming clamp instruction in the MAX V circuitry to control I/O

behavior during the ISP sequence. The in-system programming clamp instruction
allows the device to sample and sustain the value on an output pin (an input pin
remains tri-stated if sampled) or to set a logic high, logic low, or tri-state value
explicitly on any pin. Setting these options is controlled on an individual pin basis
with the Quartus II software.
fFor more information, refer to AN 630: Real-Time ISP and ISP Clamp for Altera CPLDs.
Real-Time ISP
For systems that require more than the DC logic level control of I/O pins, the
real-time ISP feature allows you to update the CFM block with a new design image,
while the current design continues to operate in the SRAM logic array and I/O pins.
A new programming file is updated into the MAX V device without halting the
original operation of your design, saving down-time costs for remote or field
upgrades. The updated CFM block configures the new design into the SRAM after the
next power cycle. You can execute an immediate SRAM configuration without a
power cycle with a specific sequence of ISP commands. The SRAM configuration
without a power cycle takes a specific amount of time (tCONFIG). During this time, the
I/O pins are tri-stated and weakly pulled-up to VCCIO.
Design Security
All MAX V devices contain a programmable security bit that controls access to the
data programmed into the CFM block. If this bit is programmed, you cannot copy or
retrieve the design programming information stored in the CFM block. This feature
provides a high-level design security because programmed data within flash memory
cells is invisible. You can only reset the security bit that controls this function and
other programmed data if the device is erased. The SRAM is also invisible and cannot
be accessed regardless of the security bit setting. The security bit does not protect the
UFM block data, and the UFM is accessible through JTAG or logic array connections.
Programming with External Hardware
You can program MAX V devices by downloading the information through in-circuit
testers, embedded processors, the Altera® ByteBlaster™ II, EthernetBlaster II,
EthernetBlaster, and USB-Blaster™ cables. You need to power up these cable’s
VCC(TRGT) with VCCIO of Bank 1.
fFor more information about the respective cables, refer to the Cable & Adapter
Drivers Information page.

provide programming support for Altera devices. For device support information,

7. User Flash Memory in MAX V Devices
This chapter provides guidelines for user flash memory (UFM) applications by
describing the features and functionality of the MAX® V UFM block and the
Quartus®II ALTUFM megafunction.
Altera® MAX V devices feature a UFM block that can be used for storing non-volatile
information up to 8 Kbits, similar to a serial EEPROM. The UFM provides an ideal
storage solution that supports all protocols (serial peripheral interface (SPI), parallel,
and other protocols) for interfacing through bridging logic designed into the MAX V
logic array.
This chapter contains the following sections:

■“Software Support for UFM Block” on page 7–13
■“Creating Memory Content File” on page 7–39
■“Simulation Parameters” on page 7–43
UFM Array Description
Each UFM array is organized as two separate sectors with 4,096 bits per sector. Each
sector can be erased independently. Table 7–1 lists the dimensions of the UFM array.

. Each location stores 16-bit
wide data. The MSB of the address register indicates the sector in operation.
Using and Accessing UFM Storage
You can use the UFM to store data of different memory sizes and data widths. Even
though the UFM storage width is 16 bits, you can implement different data widths or
a serial interface with the ALTUFM megafunction. Table 7–3 lists the different data
widths available for the three types of interfaces supported in the Quartus II software,
as well as no interface.
For more details about the logic array interface options in the ALTUFM megafunction,
refer to “Software Support for UFM Block” on page 7–13.

Table 7–4. UFM Interface Signals (Part 1 of 2)
Port Name Port Type Description
DRDin
Input
Serial input to the data register. It is used to enter a data word when writing to the UFM. The
data register is 16 bits wide and data is shifted serially from the LSB to the MSB with each
DRCLK
. This port is required for writing, but unused if the UFM is in read-only mode.
DRCLK
Input
Clock input that controls the data register. It is required and takes control when data is
shifted from
DRDin
to
DRDout
or loaded in parallel from the flash memory. The maximum
frequency for
DRCLK
is 10 MHz.
DRSHFT
Input
Signal that determines whether to shift the data register or load it on a
DRCLK
edge. A high
value shifts the data from
DRDin
into the LSB of the data register and from the MSB of the
data register out to
DRDout
. A low value loads the value of the current address in the flash
memory to the data register.
ARDin
Input Serial input to the address register. It is used to enter the address of a memory location to
read, program, or erase. The address register is 9 bits wide for the UFM size of 8,192 bits.
ARCLK
Input
Clock input that controls the address register. It is required when shifting the address data
from
ARDin
into the address register or during the increment stage. The maximum
frequency for
ARCLK
is 10 MHz.
ARSHFT
Input
Signal that determines whether to shift the address register or increment it on an
ARCLK
edge. A high value shifts the data from
ARDin
serially into the address register. A low value
increments the current address by 1. The address register rolls over to 0 when the address
space is at the maximum.

UFM Functional Description
MAX V Device Handbook January 2011 Altera Corporation
fFor more information about the interaction between the UFM block and the logic
array of MAX V devices, refer to the MAX V Device Architecture chapter.
PROGRAM
Input
Signal that initiates a program sequence. On the rising edge, the data in the data register is
written to the address pointed to by the address register. The
BUSY
signal asserts until the
program sequence is completed.
ERASE
Input
Signal that initiates an erase sequence. On a rising edge, the memory sector indicated by
the MSB of the address register is erased. The
BUSY
signal asserts until the erase sequence
is completed.
OSC_ENA
Input
This signal turns on the internal oscillator in the UFM block. It is required when the
OSC
output is used, but optional otherwise. If
OSC_ENA
is driven high, the internal oscillator is
enabled and the
OSC
output will toggle. If
OSC_ENA
is driven low, the internal oscillator is
disabled and the
OSC
output drives constant high.
DRDout
Output
Serial output of the data register. Each time the
DRCLK
signal is applied, a new value is
available. The
DRDout
data depends on the
DRSHFT
signal. When the
DRSHFT
signal is high,
DRDout
contains the new value that is shifted into the MSB of the data register. If
DRSHFT
is
low,
DRDout
contains the MSB of the memory location read into the data register.
BUSY
Output
Signal that indicates when the memory is
BUSY
performing a
PROGRAM
or
ERASE
instruction. When it is high, the address and data register should not be clocked. The new
PROGRAM
or
ERASE
instruction is not executed until the
BUSY
signal is deasserted.
OSC
Output Output of the internal oscillator. It can be used to generate a clock to control user logic with
the UFM. It requires an
OSC_ENA
input to produce an output.
RTP_BUSY
Output
This output signal is optional and only needed if the real-time ISP feature is used. The signal
is asserted high during real-time ISP and stays in the
RUN_STATE
for 500 ms before
initiating real-time ISP to allow for the final read/erase/write operation. No read, write,
erase, or address and data shift operations are allowed to be issued after the
RTP_BUSY
signal goes high. The data and address registers do not retain the contents of the last read
or write operation for the UFM block during real-time ISP.

UFM Address Register
The MAX V UFM block is organized as a 512 × 16 memory. Because the UFM block is
organized into two sectors, the MSB of the address indicates the sector that is used; 0
is for sector 0 (UFM0) while 1 is for sector 1 (UFM1). An
ERASE
instruction erases the
content of the specific sector that is indicated by the MSB of the address register.
Figure 7–2 shows the selection of the UFM sector using the MSB of the address
register.
For more information about the erase mode, refer to “Erase” on page 7–11.
Three control signals exist for the address register:
ARSHFT
,
ARCLK
, and
ARDin
.
ARSHFT
is
used as both a shift-enable control signal and an auto-increment signal. If the
ARSHFT
signal is high, a rising edge on
ARCLK
loads address data serially from the
ARDin
port
and moves data serially through the register. A clock edge with the
ARSHFT
signal low
increments the address register by 1. This implements an auto-increment of the
address to allow data streaming. When a program, read, or erase sequence is
executing, the address that is in the address register becomes the active UFM location.

UFM Data Register
The UFM data register is 16 bits wide with four control signals:
DRSHFT
,
DRCLK
,
DRDin
,
and
DRDout
.
DRSHFT
distinguishes between clock edges that move data serially from
DRDin
to
DRDout
and clock edges that latch parallel data from the UFM sectors. If the
DRSHFT
signal is high, a clock edge moves data serially through the registers from
DRDin
to
DRDout
. If the
DRSHFT
signal is low, a clock edge captures data from the UFM
sector pointed by the address register in parallel. The MSB is the first bit that is seen at
DRDout
. The data register
DRSHFT
signal is also used to enable the UFM for reading
data. When the
DRSHFT
signal is low, the UFM latches data into the data register.
Figure 7–3 shows the UFM data register.
UFM Program/Erase Control Block
The UFM program/erase control block is used to generate all the control signals
necessary to program and erase the UFM block independently. This block reduces the
number of logic elements (LEs) necessary to implement a UFM controller in the logic
array. It also guarantees correct timing of the control signals to the UFM. A rising edge
on either
PROGRAM
or
ERASE
signal causes this control signal block to activate and begin
sequencing through the program or erase cycle. At this point, for a program
instruction, the data currently in the data register is written to the address pointed to
by the address register.
Only sector erase is supported by the UFM. When an
ERASE
command is executed,
this control block erases the sector whose address is stored in the address register.
When the PROGRAM or ERASE command first activates the program/erase control
block, the
BUSY
signal will be driven high to indicate an operation in progress in the
UFM. After the program or erase algorithm is completed, the
BUSY
signal is forced
low.

Oscillator
OSC
_
ENA
, one of the input signals in the UFM block, is used to enable the oscillator
signal to output through the
OSC
output port. You can use this
OSC
output port to
connect with the interface logic in the logic array. It can be routed through the logic
array and fed back as an input clock for the address register (
ARCLK
) and the data
register (
DRCLK
). The output frequency of the
OSC
port is one-fourth that of the
oscillator frequency. As a result, the frequency range of the
OSC
port is 3.9 to 5.3 MHz.
The maximum clock frequency accepted by
ARCLK
and
DRCLK
is 10 MHz and the duty
cycle accepted by the
DRCLK
and
ARCLK
input ports is approximately 45% to 50%.
When the
OSC
_
ENA
input signal is asserted, the oscillator is enabled and the output is
routed to the logic array through the
OSC
output. When the
OSC
_
ENA
signal is set low,
the
OSC
output drives constant high. The routing delay from the
OSC
port of the UFM
block to
OSC
output pin depends on placement. You can analyze this delay using the
TimeQuest timing analyzer.
The undivided internal oscillator, which is not accessible, operates in a frequency
range from 15.6 to 21.2 MHz. The internal oscillator is enabled during power-up,
in-system programming, and real-time ISP. At all other times, the oscillator is not
running unless the UFM is instantiated in the design and the
OSC
_
ENA
port is asserted.
To see how specific operating modes of the ALTUFM megafunction handle
OSC
_
ENA
and the oscillator, refer to “Software Support for UFM Block” on page 7–13. For user-
generated logic interfacing to the UFM, the oscillator must be enabled during
program or erase operations, but not during read operations. The
OSC
_
ENA
signal can
be tied low if you are not issuing any PROGRAM or ERASE commands.
1During real-time ISP operation, the internal oscillator automatically enables and
outputs through the
OSC
output port (if this port is instantiated) even though the
OSC
_
ENA
signal is tied low. You can use the
RTP
_
BUSY
signal to detect the beginning and
ending of the real-time ISP operation for gated control of this self-enabled
OSC
output
condition.
1The internal oscillator is not enabled all the time. The internal oscillator for the
program or erase operation is only activated when the flash memory block is being
programmed or erased. During a read operation, the internal oscillator is activated
whenever the flash memory block is reading data.
Instantiating the Oscillator without the UFM
You can use the MAX II/MAX V Oscillator megafunction selection in the
MegaWizard™ Plug-In Manager to instantiate the UFM oscillator if you intend to use
this signal without using the UFM memory block. Figure 7–4 shows the
ALTUFM_OSC megafunction instantiation in the Quartus II software.
Figure 7–4. The Quartus II ALTUFM_OSC Megafunction

MAX V Device Handbook January 2011 Altera Corporation
This megafunction is in the I/O folder on page 2a of the MegaWizard Plug-In
Manager. On page 3 of the MAX II/MAX V Oscillator megafunction, you have an
option to choose to simulate the
OSC
output port at its maximum or minimum
frequency during the design simulation. The frequency chosen is only used as a
timing parameter simulation and does not affect the real MAX V device
OSC
output
frequency.
UFM Operating Modes
There are three different modes for the UFM block:
■Read/Stream Read
■Program (Write)
■Erase
During program mode, address and data can be loaded concurrently. You can
manipulate the UFM interface controls as necessary to implement the specific
protocol provided the UFM timing specifications are met. Figure 7–5 through
Figure 7–8 show the control waveforms for accessing UFM in three different modes.
For program mode (Figure 7–7) and erase mode (Figure 7–8), the
PROGRAM
and
ERASE
signals can be asserted anytime after the address register and data register have been
loaded. Do not assert the
READ
,
PROGRAM
, and
ERASE
signals or shift data and address
into the UFM after entering the real-time ISP mode. You can use the
RTP
_
BUSY
signal to
detect the beginning and end of real-time ISP operation and generate control logic to
stop all UFM port operations. This user-generated control logic is only necessary for
the ALTUFM_NONE megafunction, which provides no auto-generated logic. The
other interfaces for the ALTUFM megafunction (ALTUFM_PARALLEL,
ALTUFM_SPI, ALTUFM_I2C) contain control logic to automatically monitor the
RTP
_
BUSY
signal and will cease operations to the UFM when a real-time ISP operation
is in progress.
1You can program the UFM or CFM block independently without overwriting the
other block, which is not programmed. The Quartus II programmer provides the
options to program the UFM and CFM blocks individually or together (the entire
MAX V Device).
fFor guidelines about using ISP and real-time ISP while using the UFM block within
your design, refer to AN 100: In-System Programmability Guidelines.
fFor a complete description of the device architecture, and for the specific values of the
timing parameters listed in this chapter, refer to the MAX V Device Architecture

Read/Stream Read
The three control signals,
PROGRAM
,
ERASE
, and
BUSY
are not required during a read or
stream read operation. To perform a read operation, the address register must be
loaded with the reference address where the data is or is going to be located in the
UFM. The address register can be stopped from incrementing or shifting addresses
from
ARDin
by stopping the
ARCLK
clock pulse.
DRSHFT
must be asserted low at the next
rising edge of
DRCLK
to load the data from the UFM to the data register. To shift the bits
from the register, 16 clock pulses must be provided to read 16-bit wide data. You can
use
DRCLK
to control the read time or disable the data register by discontinuing the
DRCLK
clock pulse. Figure 7–5 shows the UFM control waveforms during read mode.
The UFM block can also perform a stream read operation, using the address
increment feature to read continuously from the UFM. Stream read mode is started by
loading the base address into the address register.
DRSHFT
must then be asserted low at
the first rising edge of
DRCLK
to load data into the data register from the address
pointed to by the address register.
DRSHFT
will then assert high to shift out the 16-bit
wide data with the MSB out first. Figure 7–6 shows the UFM control waveforms
during stream read mode.

Program
To program or write to the UFM, you must first perform a sequence to load the
reference address into the address register.
DRSHFT
must then be asserted high to load
the data serially into the data register starting with the MSB. Loading an address into
the address register and loading data into the data register can be done concurrently.
After the 16 bits of data have been successfully shifted into the data register, the
PROGRAM
signal must be asserted high to start writing to the UFM. On the rising edge,
the data currently in the data register is written to the location currently in the address
register. The
BUSY
signal is asserted until the program sequence is completed. The data
and address register should not be modified until the
BUSY
signal is de-asserted, or the
flash content will be corrupted. The
PROGRAM
signal is ignored if the
BUSY
signal is
asserted. When the
PROGRAM
signal is applied at exactly the same time as the
ERASE
signal, the behavior is undefined and the flash content is corrupted. Figure 7–7 shows
the UFM waveforms during program mode.

Erase
The
ERASE
signal initiates an erase sequence to erase one sector of the UFM. The data
register is not needed to perform an erase sequence. To indicate the sector of the UFM
to be erased, the MSB of the address register should be loaded with 0 to erase UFM
sector 0, or 1 to erase UFM sector 1 (Figure 7–2 on page 7–5). On a rising edge of the
ERASE
signal, the memory sector indicated by the MSB of the address register will be
erased. The
BUSY
signal is asserted until the erase sequence is completed. The address
register should not be modified until the
BUSY
signal is de-asserted to prevent the flash
content from being corrupted. This
ERASE
signal is ignored when the
BUSY
signal is
asserted. Figure 7–8 illustrates the UFM waveforms during erase mode.
1When the UFM sector is erased, it has 16-bit locations all filled with
FFFF
. Each UFM
storage bit can be programmed only once between erase sequences. You can write to
any word up to two times providing the second programming attempt at that location
only adds 0s. 1s are mask bits for your input word that cannot overwrite 0s in the
flash array. New 1s in the location can only be achieved by an erase. Therefore, it is
possible for you to perform byte writes because the UFM array is 16 bits for each
location.

Programming and Reading the UFM with JTAG
In MAX V devices, you can write data to or read data from the UFM using the IEEE
Std. 1149.1 JTAG interface. You can use a PC or UNIX workstation, the Quartus II
Programmer, or the ByteBlasterMVTM or ByteBlasterTM II parallel port download
cable to download Programmer Object File (.pof), JamTM Standard Test and
Programming Language (STAPL) Files (.jam), or Jam Byte-Code Files (.jbc) from the
Quartus II software targeting the MAX V device UFM block.
1The .pof, .jam, and .jbc files can be generated using the Quartus II software.
Jam Files
Both .jam STAPL and .jbc files support programming for the UFM block.
Jam Players
Jam Players read the descriptive information in Jam files and translate them into data
that programs the target device. Jam Players do not program a particular device
architecture or vendor; they only read and understand the syntax defined by the Jam
file specification. In-field changes are confined to the Jam file, not the Jam Player. As a
result, you do not need to modify the Jam Player source code for each in-field
upgrade.
There are two types of Jam Players to accommodate the two types of Jam files: an
ASCII Jam STAPL Player and a Jam STAPL Byte-Code Player. Both ASCII Jam STAPL
Player and Jam STAPL Byte-Code Player are coded in the C programming language
for 16-bit and 32-bit processors.

Software Support for UFM Block
The Altera Quartus II software includes sophisticated tools that fully utilize the
advantages of the UFM block in MAX V devices, while maintaining simple, easy-to-
use procedures that accelerate the design process. The following section describes
how the ALTUFM megafunction supports a simple design methodology for
instantiating standard interface protocols for the UFM block, such as:
■I2C
■SPI
■Parallel
■None (Altera Serial Interface)
This section includes the megafunction symbol, the input and output ports, and a
description of the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager options. Refer to Quartus II Help for
the ALTUFM megafunction Altera Hardware Description Language (AHDL)
functional prototypes (applicable to Verilog HDL), VHDL component declarations,
and parameter descriptions. You can access this megafunction from the Memory
Compiler directory on page 2a of the MegaWizard Plug-In Manager.
The ALTUFM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager has separate pages that apply to the
MAX V UFM block. During compilation, the Quartus II Compiler verifies the
ALTUFM parameters selected against the available logic array interface options, and
any specific assignments.
Inter-Integrated Circuit
Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) is a bidirectional two-wire interface protocol, requiring
only two bus lines: a serial data/address line (SDA), and a serial clock line (SCL).
Each device connected to the I2C bus is software addressable by a unique address. The
I2C bus is a multi-master bus where more than one integrated circuit (IC) capable of
initiating a data transfer can be connected to it, which allows masters to function as
transmitters or receivers.
The ALTUFM_I2C megafunction features a serial, 8-bit bidirectional data transfer up
to 100 Kbits per second. With the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction, the MAX V UFM and
logic can be configured as a slave device for the I2C bus. The ALTUFM megafunction’s
I2C interface is designed to function similar to I2C serial EEPROMs.
The Quartus II software supports four different memory sizes:
■(128 × 8) 1 Kbits
■(256 × 8) 2 Kbits
■(512 × 8) 4 Kbits
■(1,024 × 8) 8 Kbits
I2C Protocol
The following defines the characteristics of the I2C bus protocol:
■Only two bus lines are required: SDA and SCL. Both SDA and SCL are
bidirectional lines that remain high when the bus is free.
7–14 Chapter 7: User Flash Memory in MAX V Devices
Software Support for UFM Block
MAX V Device Handbook January 2011 Altera Corporation
■Data transfer can be initiated only when the bus is free.
■The data on the SDA line must be stable during the high period of the clock. The
high or low state of the data line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL
line is low.
■Any transition on the SDA line while the SCL is high indicates a start or stop
condition.
Table 7–5 lists the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction input and output interface signals.
START and STOP Condition
The master always generates start (S) and stop (P) conditions. After the start
condition, the bus is considered busy. Only a stop (P) condition frees the bus. The bus
stays busy if the repeated start (Sr) condition is executed instead of a stop condition.
In this occurrence, the start (S) and repeated start (Sr) conditions are functionally
identical.
A high-to-low transition on the SDA line while the SCL is high indicates a start
condition. A low-to-high transition on the SDA line while the SCL is high indicates a
stop condition. Figure 7–9 shows the start and stop conditions.

Acknowledge
Acknowledged data transfer is a requirement of I2C. The master must generate a clock
pulse to signify the acknowledge bit. The transmitter releases the SDA line (high)
during the acknowledge clock pulse.
The receiver (slave) must pull the SDA line low during the acknowledge clock pulse
so that SDA remains a stable low during the clock high period, indicating positive
acknowledgement from the receiver. If the receiver pulls the SDA line high during the
acknowledge clock pulse, the receiver sends a not-acknowledge condition indicating
that it is unable to process the last byte of data. If the receiver is busy (for example,
executing an internally-timed erase or write operation), it will not acknowledge any
new data transfer. Figure 7–10 shows the acknowledge condition on the I2C bus.
Device Addressing
After the start condition, the master sends the address of the particular slave device it
is requesting. The four most significant bits (MSBs) of the 8-bit slave address are
usually fixed while the next three significant bits (A2, A1, A0) are device address bits
that define which device the master is accessing. The last bit of the slave address
specifies whether a read or write operation is to be performed. When this bit is set to
1, a read operation is selected. When this bit is set to 0, a write operation is selected.
The four MSBs of the slave address (A6, A5, A4, A3) are programmable and can be
defined on page 3 of the ALTUFM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. The default value
for these four MSBs is
1010
. The next three significant bits are defined using the three
A2, A1, A0 input ports of the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction. You can connect these ports
to input pins in the design file and connect them to switches on the board. The other
option is to connect them to VCC and GND primitives in the design file, which
conserves pins. Figure 7–11 shows the slave address bits.

After the master sends a start condition and the slave address byte, the ALTUFM_I2C
logic monitors the bus and responds with an acknowledge (on the SDA line) when its
address matches the transmitted slave address. The ALTUFM_I2C megafunction then
performs a read or write operation to or from the UFM, depending on the state of the
bit.
Byte Write Operation
The master initiates a transfer by generating a start condition, then sending the correct
slave address (with the R/W bit set to 0) to the slave. If the slave address matches, the
ALTUFM_I2C slave acknowledges on the ninth clock pulse. The master then transfers
an 8-bit byte address to the UFM, which acknowledges the reception of the address.
The master transfers the 8-bit data to be written to the UFM. After the ALTUFM_I2C
logic acknowledges the reception of the 8-bit data, the master generates a stop
condition. The internal write from the MAX V logic array to the UFM begins only
after the master generates a stop condition. While the UFM internal write cycle is in
progress, the ALTUFM_I2C logic ignores any attempt made by the master to initiate a
new transfer. Figure 7–12 shows the byte write sequence.
Figure 7–11. Slave Address Bits
Notes to Figure 7–11:
(1) For the 4-Kbit memory size, the A0 location in the slave address becomes the MSB (a8) of the memory byte
address.
(2) For the 8-Kbit memory size, the A0 location in the slave address becomes a8 of the memory byte address, while
the A1 location in the slave address becomes the MSB (a9) of the memory byte address.

Page Write Operation
Page write operation has a similar sequence as the byte write operation, except that
several bytes of data are transmitted in sequence before the master issues a stop
condition. The internal write from the MAX V logic array to the UFM begins only
after the master generates a stop condition. While the UFM internal write cycle is in
progress, the ALTUFM_I2C logic ignores any attempt made by the master to initiate a
new transfer. The ALTUFM_I2C megafunction allows you to choose the page size of 8
bytes, 16 bytes, or 32 bytes for the page write operation.
A write operation is only possible to an erased UFM block or word location. The UFM
block differs from serial EEPROMs, requiring an erase operation before writing new
data in the UFM block. A special erase sequence is required, as discussed in “Erase
Operation”.
Acknowledge Polling
The master can detect whether the internal write cycle is completed by polling for an
acknowledgement from the slave. The master can re-send the start condition together
with the slave address as soon as the byte write sequence is finished. The slave does
not acknowledge if the internal write cycle is still in progress. The master can repeat
the acknowledge polling and proceed with the next instruction after the slave
acknowledges.
Write Protection
The ALTUFM_I2C megafunction includes an optional Write Protection (WP) port
available on page 4 of the ALTUFM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. In the
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager, you can choose the WP port to protect either the full or
upper half memory.
When WP is set to 1, the upper half or the entire memory array (depending on the
write protection level selected) is protected, and the write and erase operations are not
allowed. The ALTUFM_I2C megafunction acknowledges the slave address and
memory address. After the master transfers the first data byte, the ALTUFM_I2C
megafunction sends a not-acknowledge condition to the master to indicate that the
instruction will not execute. When WP is set to
0
, the write and erase operations are
allowed.
Erase Operation
Commercial serial EEPROMs automatically erase each byte of memory before writing
into that particular memory location during a write operation. However, the MAX V
UFM block is flash based and only supports sector erase operations. Byte erase
operations are not supported. When using read/write mode, a sector or full memory
erase operation is required before writing new data into any location that previously
contained data. The block cannot be erased when the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction is
in read-only mode.
Data can be initialized into memory for read/write and read-only modes by including
a memory initialization file (.mif) or hexadecimal file (.hex) in the ALTUFM
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. This data is automatically written into the UFM
during device programming by the Quartus II software or third-party programming
tool.
7–18 Chapter 7: User Flash Memory in MAX V Devices
Software Support for UFM Block
MAX V Device Handbook January 2011 Altera Corporation
The ALTUFM_I2C megafunction supports four different erase operation methods
shown on page 4 of the ALTUFM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager:
■Full Erase (Device Slave Address Triggered)
■Sector Erase (Byte Address Triggered)
■Sector Erase (A2 Triggered)
■No Erase
These erase options only work as described if that particular option is selected in the
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager before compiling the design files and programming
the device. Only one option can be selected for the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction.
Each erase option is discussed in more detail in the following sections.
Full Erase (Device Slave Address Triggered)
The full erase option uses the A2, A1, A0 bits of the slave address to distinguish
between an erase or read/write operation. This slave operation decoding occurs when
the master transfers the slave address to the slave after generating the start condition.
If the A2, A1, and A0 slave address bits transmitted to the UFM slave equals 111 and
the four remaining MSBs match the rest of the slave addresses, then the Full Erase
operation is selected. If the A6, A5, A4, A3 A2, A1, and A0 slave address bits transmitted
to the UFM match its unique slave address setting, the read/write operation is
selected and functions as expected. As a result, this erase option utilizes two slave
addresses on the bus reserving A6, A5, A4, A3, 1, 1, 1 as the erase trigger. Both sectors
of the UFM block will be erased when the Full Erase operation is executed. This
operation requires acknowledge polling. The internal UFM erase function only begins
after the master generates a stop condition. Figure 7–13 shows the full erase sequence
triggered by using the slave address.
If the memory is write-protected (WP = 1), the slave does not acknowledge the erase
trigger slave address (A6, A5, A4, A3, 1, 1, 1) sent by the master. The master should
then send a stop condition to terminate the transfer. The full erase operation will not
be executed.

Sector Erase (Byte Address Triggered)
This sector erase operation is triggered by defining a 7- to 10-bit byte address for each
sector depending on the memory size. The trigger address for each sector is entered
on page 4 of the ALTUFM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. When a write operation is
executed targeting this special byte address location, the UFM sector that contains
that byte address location is erased. This sector erase operation is automatically
followed by a write of the intended write byte to that address. The default byte
address location for UFM Sector 0 erase is address 0×00. The default byte address
location for UFM Sector 1 erase is [(selected memory size)/2]. You can specify another
byte location as the trigger-erase addresses for each sector.
This sector erase operation supports up to eight UFM blocks or serial EEPROMs on
the I2C bus. This sector erase operation requires acknowledge polling.
Sector Erase (A2 Triggered)
This sector erase operation uses the received A2 slave address bit to distinguish
between an erase or read/write operation. This slave operation decoding occurs when
the master transmits the slave address after generating the start condition. If the A2 bit
received by the UFM slave is 1, the sector erase operation is selected. If the A2 bit
received is 0, the read/write operation is selected. While this reserves the A2 bit as an
erase or read/write operation bit, the A0 and A1 bits still act as slave address bits to
address the UFM. With this erase option, there can be up to four UFM slaves cascaded
on the bus for 1-Kbit and 2-Kbit memory sizes. Only two UFM slaves can be cascaded
on the bus for 4-Kbit memory size, because A0 of the slave address becomes the ninth
bit (MSB) of the byte address. After the slave acknowledges the slave address and its
erase or read/write operation bit, the master can transfer any byte address within the
sector that must be erased. The internal UFM sector erase operation only begins after
the master generates a stop condition. Figure 7–14 shows the sector erase sequence
using the A2 bit of the slave address.
If the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction is write-protected (WP=1), the slave does not
acknowledge the byte address (that indicates the UFM sector to be erased) sent in by
the master. The master should then send a stop condition to terminate the transfer and
the sector erase operation will not be executed.
Figure 7–14. Sector Erase Sequence Indicated Using the A2 Bit of the Slave Address
Note to Figure 7–14:
(1) A2 = 0 indicates a read/write operation is executed in place of an erase. Here, the R/W bit determines whether it is

No Erase
The no erase operation never erases the UFM contents. This method is recommended
when UFM does not require constant re-writing after its initial write of data. For
example, if the UFM data is to be initialized with data during manufacturing using
I2C, you may not require writing to the UFM again. In that case, you should use the no
erase option and save LE resources from being used to create erase logic.
Read Operation
The read operation is initiated in the same manner as the write operation except that
the R/W bit must be set to 1. Three different read operations are supported:
■Current Address Read (Single Byte)
■Random Address Read (Single byte)
■Sequential Read (Multi-Byte)
After each UFM data has been read and transferred to the master, the UFM address
register is incremented for all single and multi-byte read operations.
Current Address Read
This read operation targets the current byte location pointed to by the UFM address
register. Figure 7–15 shows the current address read sequence.

Random Address Read
Random address read operation allows the master to select any byte location for a
read operation. The master first performs a “dummy” write operation by sending the
start condition, slave address, and byte address of the location it wishes to read. After
the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction acknowledges the slave and byte address, the master
generates a repeated start condition, the slave address, and the R/W bit is set to 1. The
ALTUFM_I2C megafunction then responds with acknowledge and sends the 8-bit
data requested. The master then generates a stop condition. Figure 7–16 shows the
random address read sequence.
Sequential Read
Sequential read operation can be initiated by either the current address read operation
or the random address read operation. Instead of sending a stop condition after the
slave has transmitted one byte of data to the master, the master acknowledges that
byte and sends additional clock pulses (on the SCL line) for the slave to transmit data
bytes from consecutive byte addresses. The operation is terminated when the master
generates a stop condition instead of responding with an acknowledge. Figure 7–17
shows the sequential read sequence.

Instantiating the I2C Interface Using the Quartus II ALTUFM_I2C
Megafunction
Figure 7–19 shows the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction symbol for a I2C interface
instantiation in the Quartus II software.
ALTUFM_I2C megafunction is under the Memory Compiler folder on page 2a of the
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. On page 3, you can choose whether to implement the
Read/Write or Read Only mode for the UFM. You also have an option to choose the
memory size for the ALTUFM_I2C megafunction as well as defining the four MSBs of
the slave address (default 1010).
You can select the optional write protection and erase operation methods on page 4 of
the ALTUFM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager.
1The UFM block’s internal oscillator is always running when the ALTUFM_I2C
megafunction is instantiated for both read-only and read/write interfaces.
Serial Peripheral Interface
Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is a four-pin serial communication subsystem
included on the Motorola 6805 and 68HC11 series microcontrollers. It allows the
microcontroller unit to communicate with peripheral devices, and is also capable of
inter-processor communications in a multiple-master system.
The SPI bus consists of masters and slaves. The master device initiates and controls
the data transfers and provides the clock signal for synchronization. The slave device
responds to the data transfer request from the master device. The master device in an
SPI bus initiates a service request with the slave devices responding to the service
request.
With the ALTUFM megafunction, the UFM and MAX V logic can be configured as a
slave device for the SPI bus. The
OSC
_
ENA
is always asserted to enable the internal
oscillator when the SPI megafunction is instantiated for both read only and
read/write interfaces.

MAX V Device Handbook January 2011 Altera Corporation
The Quartus II software supports both the Base mode (uses 8-bit address and data)
and the Extended mode (uses 16-bit address and data). Base mode uses only UFM
sector 0 (2,048 bits), while Extended mode uses both UFM sector 0 and sector 1 (8,192
bits). There are only four pins in SPI:
SI
,
SO
,
SCK
, and
nCS
. Table 7–9 describes the SPI
pins and functions.
Data transmitted to the
SI
port of the slave device is sampled by the slave device at
the positive
SCK
clock. Data transmits from the slave device through
SO
at the negative
SCK
clock edge. When
nCS
is asserted, it means the current device is being selected by
the master device from the other end of the SPI bus for service. When
nCS
is not
asserted, the
SI
and
SCK
ports should be blocked from receiving signals from the
master device, and
SO
should be in High Impedance state to avoid causing contention
on the shared SPI bus. All instructions, addresses, and data are transferred with the
MSB first and start with high-to-low
nCS
transition. The circuit diagram is shown in
Figure 7–20.

Opcodes
Table 7–10 lists the 8-bit instruction opcodes. After
nCS
is pulled low, the indicated
opcode must be provided. Otherwise, the interface assumes that the master device
has internal logic errors and ignores the rest of the incoming signals. When
nCS
is
pulled back to high, the interface is back to normal.
nCS
should be pulled low again
for a new service request.
The
READ
and
WRITE
opcodes are instructions for transmission, which means the data
will be read from or written to the UFM.
WREN
,
WRDI
,
RDSR
, and
WRSR
are instructions for the status register, where they do not
have any direct interaction with UFM, but read or set the status register within the
interface logic. The status register provides status on whether the UFM block is
available for any
READ
or
WRITE
operation, whether the interface is
WRITE
enabled, and
the state of the UFM
WRITE
protection. Table 7–11 lists the status register format. For
the read only implementation of
ALTUFM
SPI (Base or Extended mode), the status
register does not exist, saving LE resources.
The following sections describe the instructions for SPI.

READ
READ
is the instruction for data transmission, where the data is read from the UFM
block. When data transfer is taking place, the MSB is always the first bit to be
transmitted or received. The data output stream is continuous through all addresses
until it is terminated by a low-to-high transition at the
nCS
port. The
READ
operation is
always performed through the following sequence in SPI, as shown in Figure 7–21:
1.
nCS
is pulled low to indicate the start of transmission.
2. An 8-bit
READ
opcode (
00000011
) is received from the master device. (If internal
programming is in progress,
READ
is ignored and not accepted).
3. A 16-bit address is received from the master device. The LSB of the address is
received last. Because the UFM block can take only nine bits of address maximum,
the first seven address bits received are discarded.
4. Data is transmitted for as many words as needed by the slave device through
SO
for
READ
operation. When the end of the UFM storage array is reached, the address
counter rolls over to the start of the UFM to continue the
READ
operation.
5.
nCS
is pulled back to high to indicate the end of transmission.
For SPI Base mode, the
READ
operation is always performed through the following
sequence in SPI:
1.
nCS
is pulled low to indicate the start of transmission.
2. An 8-bit
READ
opcode (
00000011
) is received from the master device, followed by
an 8-bit address. If internal programming is in progress, the
READ
operation is
ignored and not accepted.
3. Data is transmitted for as many words as needed by the slave device through
SO
for
READ
operation. The internal address pointer automatically increments until the
highest memory address is reached (address 255 only because the UFM sector 0 is
used). The address counter will not roll over when address 255 is reached. The
SO
output is set to high-impedance (Z) when all eight data bits from address 255 have
been shifted out through the
SO
port.
4.
nCS
is pulled back to high to indicate the end of transmission.

Figure 7–22 shows the
READ
operation sequence for Base mode.
WRITE
WRITE
is the instruction for data transmission, where the data is written to the UFM
block. The targeted location in the UFM block that will be written must be in the
erased state (
FFFFH
) before initiating a
WRITE
operation. When data transfer is taking
place, the MSB is always the first bit to be transmitted or received.
nCS
must be driven
high before the instruction is executed internally. You may poll the
nRDY
bit in the
software status register for the completion of the internal self-timed
WRITE
cycle. For
SPI Extended mode, the
WRITE
operation is always done through the following
sequence, as shown in Figure 7–23:
1.
nCS
is pulled low to indicate the start of transmission.
2. An 8-bit
WRITE
opcode (
00000010
) is received from the master device. If internal
programming is in progress, the
WRITE
operation is ignored and not accepted.
3. A 16-bit address is received from the master device. The LSB of the address will be
received last. Because the UFM block can take only nine bits of address maximum,
the first seven address bits received are discarded.
4. A check is carried out on the status register (see Table 7–11) to determine if the
WRITE
operation has been enabled, and the address is outside of the protected
region; otherwise, Step 5 is bypassed.
5. One word (16 bits) of data is transmitted to the slave device through
SI
.
6.
nCS
is pulled back to high to indicate the end of transmission.
For SPI Base mode, the

RDSR (Read Status Register)
The content of the status register can be read by issuing
RDSR
. After
RDSR
is received,
the interface outputs the content of the status register through the
SO
port. Although
the four most significant bits (Bit 7 to Bit 4) do not hold valuable information, all eight
bits in the status register will output through the
SO
port. This allows future
compatibility when Bit 7 to Bit 4 have new meaning in the status register. During the
internal program cycle in the UFM,
RDSR
is the only valid opcode recognized by the
interface (therefore, the status register can be read at any time), and
nRDY
is the only
valid status bit. Other status bits are frozen and remain unchanged until the internal
program cycle is ended.
RDSR
is issued through the following sequence, as shown in
Figure 7–30:
1.
nCS
is pulled low.
2. Opcode
00000101
is transmitted into the interface.
3.
SI
ignores incoming signals;
SO
outputs the content of the status register,
Bit
7
first
and
Bit
0
last.
4. If
nCS
is kept low, repeat step 3.
5.
nCS
is pulled back to high to terminate the transmission.

WRSR (Write Status Register)
The block protection bits
(BP1
and
BP0
) are the status bits used to protect certain
sections of the UFM from inadvertent write. The
BP1
and
BP0
status are updated by
WRSR
. During
WRSR
, only
BP1
and
BP0
in the status register can be written with valid
information. The rest of the bits in the status register are ignored and not updated.
When both
BP1
and
BP0
are
0
, there is no protection for the UFM. When both
BP1
and
BP0
are
1
, there is full protection for the UFM.
BP0
and
BP1
are set to 0 upon power-up.
Table 7–12 lists the Block Write Protect Bits for Extended mode, while Table 7–13 lists
the Block Write Protect Bits for Base mode.
WRSR
is issued through the following
sequence, as shown in Figure 7–31:
1.
nCS
is pulled low.
2. Opcode
00000001
is transmitted into the interface.
3. An 8-bit status is transmitted into the interface to update
BP1
and
BP0
of the status
register.
4. If
nCS
is pulled high too early (before all the eight bits in Step 2 or Step 3 are
transmitted) or too late (the ninth bit or more is transmitted),
WRSR
is not executed.
5.

ALTUFM SPI Timing Specification
Figure 7–32 shows the timing specification needed for the SPI Extended mode
(read/write). These nCS timing specifications do not apply to the SPI Extended
read-only mode nor to any of the SPI Base modes. However, for the SPI Extended
mode (read only) and the SPI Base mode (both read only and read/write), the nCS
signal and SCK are not allowed to toggle at the same time. Table 7–14 lists the timing
parameters that only apply to the SPI Extended mode (read/write).
Instantiating SPI Using Quartus II ALTUFM_SPI Megafunction
Figure 7–33 shows the ALTUFM_SPI megafunction symbol for SPI instantiation in the
Quartus II software.
ALTUFM_SPI megafunction is under the Memory Compiler folder on page 2a of the
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. On page 3, you can choose whether to implement the
Read/Write or Read Only mode as the access mode for the UFM. You can also select
the configuration mode (Base or Extended) for SPI on this page. You can specify the
initial content of the UFM block on page of the ALTUFM MegaWizard Plug-In
Manager as discussed in “Creating Memory Content File” on page 7–39.
1The UFM block’s internal oscillator is always running when the ALTUFM_SPI
megafunction is instantiated for read/write interface. The UFM block’s internal
oscillator is disabled when the ALTUFM_SPI megafunction is instantiated for read

Parallel Interface
This interface allows for parallel communication between the UFM block and outside
logic. After the
READ
request,
WRITE
request, or
ERASE
request is asserted (active low
assertion), the outside logic or device (such as a microcontroller) can continue its
operation while the data in the UFM is retrieved, written, or erased. During this time,
the
nBUSY
signal is driven “low” to indicate that it is not available to respond to any
further request. After the operation is complete, the
nBUSY
signal is brought back to
“high” to indicate that it is now available to service a new request. If it was the Read
request, the
DATA
_
VALID
is driven “high” to indicate that the data at the
DO
port is the
valid data from the last read address.
Asserting
READ
,
WRITE
, and
ERASE
at the same time is not allowed. Multiple requests
are ignored and nothing is read from, written to, or erased in the UFM block. There is
no support for sequential read and page write in the parallel interface. For both the
read only and the read/write modes of the parallel interface,
OSC
_
ENA
is always
asserted, enabling the internal oscillator. Table 7–15 lists the parallel interface pins and
functions.
Even though the ALTUFM megafunction allows you to select the address widths
range from 3 bits to 9 bits, the UFM block always expects a full 9 bits for the width of
the address register. Therefore, the ALTUFM megafunction will always pad the
remaining LSBs of the address register with '0's if the register width selected is less
than 9 bits. The address register will point to sector 0 if the address received at the
address register starts with a '0'. The address register will point to sector 1 if the
address received starts with a '1'.
Even though you can select an optional data register width of 3 to 16 bits using the
ALTUFM megafunction, the UFM block always expects full 16 bits width for the data
register. Reading from the data register always proceeds from MSB to LSB. The
ALTUFM megafunction always pads the remaining LSBs of the data register with 1s if
the user selects a data width of less than 16-bits.

Creating Memory Content File
January 2011 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
Creating Memory Content File
You can initialize the content of the UFM through a memory content file. The
Quartus II software supports two types of initial memory content file format: Memory
Initialization File (.mif) and Hexadecimal File (.hex). A new memory content file for
the UFM block can be created by clicking New on the File menu. Select the .mif or
.hex file in the Other Files tab.
After clicking OK, a dialog box appears. In this dialog box, the Number of words
represents the numbers of address lines while the Word size represents the data
width. To create a memory content file for the ALTUFM megafunction, enter
512
for
the number of words and
16
for the word size.
The memory content is written into a .hex file. On the Tools menu, click MegaWizard
Plug-In Manager. The memory content file (data.hex) is included on the respective
ALTUFM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. Click Yes to use this file for the memory
content file. Click Browse to include the memory content file.
Memory Initialization for the ALTUFM_PARALLEL Megafunction
For the parallel interface, if a .hex file is used to initialize the memory content for the
ALTUFM megafunction, you must fully specify all 16 bits in each memory address,
regardless of the data width selected. If your data width is less than 16 bits wide, your
data must be placed in the MSBs of the data word and the remaining LSBs must be
padded with 1’s.
For an example, if
address
_
width
=
3
and
data
_
width
=
8
are selected for the
ALTUFM_PARALLEL megafunction, the .hex file should contain eight addresses of
data (23 addresses), each word containing 16 bits. If the initial content at the location
000
is intended to be
10101010
, you should specify
1010101011111111
for address
000
in the .hex file.
1This specification applies only to .hex files used with the parallel interface. .mifs do
not require you to fully specify 16 bits for each data word. However, both .mif and
.hex files require you to specify all addresses of data according to the
address
_
width
selected in the megafunction.
Memory Initialization for the ALTUFM_SPI Megafunction
The same 16-bit data padding mentioned for ALTUFM_PARALLEL is required for
.hex files used with the SPI Base (8 bits) and Extended (16 bits) mode interface. In
addition, for SPI Base and Extended modes, you must fully specify memory content
for all 512 addresses (both sector 0 and sector 1) in the .mif and .hex files, even if
sector 1 is not used. You can put valid data for SPI Base mode addresses 0 to 255
(sector 0), and initialize sector 1 to all ones.

Memory Initialization for the ALTUFM_I2C Megafunction
The MAX V UFM physical memory block contains a 16-bit wide and 512 deep (9-bit
address) array. The ALTUFM_I2C megafunction uses the following smaller array
sizes:
■An 8-bit wide and 128 deep (7-bit address) mapping for 1 Kbit memory size
■An 8-bit wide and 256 deep (8-bit address) mapping for 2 Kbits memory size
■An 8-bit wide and 512 deep (9-bit address) mapping for 4 Kbits memory size
■An 8-bit wide and 1,024 deep (10-bit address) mapping for 8 Kbits memory size
Altera recommends that you pad the .mif or .hex file for both address and data width
to fill the physical memory map for the UFM block and ensure the .mif or .hex file
represents a full 16-bit word size and a 9-bit address space.

Padding Data into Memory Map
The ALTUFM_I2C megafunction uses the upper 8 bits of the UFM 16-bit word;
therefore, the 8 least significant bits should be padded with 1s, as shown in
Figure 7–41.
Simulation Parameters
In the ALTUFM megafunction, you have an option to simulate the
OSC
output port at
the maximum or the minimum frequency during the design simulation. The
frequency chosen is only used as the timing parameter for the Quartus II simulator
and does not affect the real MAX V device
OSC
output frequency.

8. JTAG Boundary-Scan Testing in MAX V
Devices
This chapter describes the IEEE Std.1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan testing for Altera®
MAX®V devices. The IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST circuitry available in MAX V devices
provides a cost-effective and efficient way to test systems that contain devices with
tight lead spacing. Circuit boards with Altera and other IEEE Std. 1149.1-compliant
devices can use
EXTEST
,
SAMPLE
/
PRELOAD
, and
BYPASS
modes to create serial patterns
that internally test the pin connections between devices and check device operation.
As PCBs become more complex, the requirement for thorough testing becomes
increasingly important. Advances in surface-mount packaging and PCB
manufacturing have resulted in smaller boards, making traditional test methods (for
example, external test probes and “bed-of-nails” test fixtures) harder to implement.
As a result, cost savings from PCB space reductions are sometimes offset by cost
increases in traditional testing methods.
In the 1980s, JTAG developed a specification for boundary-scan testing that was later
standardized as the IEEE Std. 1149.1 specification. This boundary-scan test (BST)
architecture offers the capability to efficiently test components on PCBs with tight
lead spacing.
BST architecture can test pin connections without using physical test probes and
capture functional data while a device is operating normally. Boundary-scan cells
(BSCs) in a device can force signals onto pins, or capture data from pin or core logic
signals. Forced test data is serially shifted into the BSCs. Captured data is serially
shifted out and externally compared to expected results.
Figure 8–1 shows the concept of boundary-scan testing.

In addition to BST, you can use the IEEE Std. 1149.1 controller for in-system
programming for MAX V devices. MAX V devices support IEEE 1532 programming,
which uses the IEEE Std. 1149.1 test access port (TAP) interface. However, this chapter
only describes the BST feature of the IEEE Std. 1149.1 circuitry.
IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Architecture
A MAX V device operating in IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST mode uses four required pins,
TDI
,
TDO
,
TMS
, and
TCK
.
Table 8–1 lists the functions of each of these pins. MAX V devices do not have a
TRST
pin.
The IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST circuitry requires the following registers:
■The instruction register determines which action to perform and which data
register to access.
■The bypass register (which is a 1-bit long data register) provides a
minimum-length serial path between the
TDI
and
TDO
pins.
■The boundary-scan register that is a shift register composed of all the BSCs of the
device.
Table 8–1. IEEE Std. 1149.1 Pin Descriptions
Pin Description Function
TDI
(1) Test data input Serial input pin for instructions as well as test and
programming data. Data is shifted in on the rising edge of
TCK
.
TDO
Test data output
Serial data output pin for instructions as well as test and
programming data. Data is shifted out on the falling edge of
TCK
. The pin is tri-stated if data is not being shifted out of the
device.
TMS
(1) Test mode select
Input pin that provides the control signal to determine the
transitions of the TAP controller state machine. Transitions
within the state machine occur at the rising edge of
TCK
.
Therefore, you must set up the
TMS
before the rising edge of
TCK
.
TMS
is evaluated on the rising edge of
TCK
.
TCK
(2) Test clock input The clock input to the BST circuitry. Some operations occur at
the rising edge, while others occur at the falling edge.
Notes to Table 8–1:
(1) The
TDI
and
TMS
pins have internal weak pull-up resistors
(2) The
TCK
pin has an internal weak pull-down resistor

Figure 8–2 shows a functional model of the IEEE Std. 1149.1 circuitry.
The TAP controller controls the IEEE Std. 1149.1 boundary-scan testing, as described
in “IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Operation Control” on page 8–6. The
TMS
and
TCK
pins
operate the TAP controller and the
TDI
and
TDO
pins provide the serial path for the
data registers. The
TDI
pin also provides data to the instruction register, which then
generates the control logic for the data registers.
IEEE Std. 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Register
The boundary-scan register is a large serial shift register that uses the
TDI
pin as an
input and the
TDO
pin as an output. The boundary-scan register consists of 3-bit
peripheral elements that are associated with the I/O pins of the MAX V devices. You
can use the boundary-scan register to test the external pin connections or to capture
internal data.

Figure 8–3 shows how test data is serially shifted around the periphery of the IEEE
Std. 1149.1 device.
Boundary-Scan Cells of a MAX V Device I/O Pin
Except for the four JTAG pins and power pins, you can use all the pins of a MAX V
device (including clock pins) as user I/O pins and have a BSC. The 3-bit BSC consists
of a set of capture registers and a set of update registers. The capture registers can
connect to internal device data through the
OUTJ
and
OEJ
signals, while the update
registers connect to external data through the
PIN
_
OUT
and
PIN
_
OE
signals. The TAP
controller internally generates the
SHIFT
,
CLOCK
, and
UPDATE
global control signals for
the IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST registers; a decode of the instruction register generates the
MODE
signal. The data signal path for the boundary-scan register runs from the serial
data in (
SDI
) signal to the serial data out (
SDO
) signal. The scan register begins at the
TDI
pin and ends at the
TDO
pin of the device.

IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Operation Control

When the TAP controller is in the
TEST
_
LOGIC/RESET
state, the BST circuitry is
disabled, the device is in normal operation, and the instruction register is initialized
with
IDCODE
as the initial instruction. During device power up, the TAP controller
starts in this
TEST
_
LOGIC/RESET
state. In addition, the TAP controller may be forced to
the
TEST
_
LOGIC/RESET
state by holding
TMS
high for five
TCK
clock cycles. After the
TEST
_
LOGIC/RESET
state, the TAP controller remains in this state as long as
TMS
continues to be held high while
TCK
is clocked.
Figure 8–6 shows the timing requirements for the IEEE Std. 1149.1 signals.
To start the IEEE Std. 1149.1 operation, select an instruction mode by advancing the
TAP controller to the shift instruction register (
SHIFT
_
IR
) state and shift in the
appropriate instruction code on the
TDI
pin.
Figure 8–7 shows the entry of the instruction code into the instruction register. From
the
RESET
state,
TMS
is clocked with the pattern
01100
to advance the TAP controller to
SHIFT
_
IR
state.

The
TDO
pin is tri-stated in all states except the
SHIFT
_
IR
and
SHIFT
_
DR
states. The
TDO
pin is activated at the first falling edge of
TCK
after entering either of the shift states
and is tri-stated at the first falling edge of
TCK
after leaving either of the shift states.
When the
SHIFT
_
IR
state is activated,
TDO
is no longer tri-stated, and the initial state of
the instruction register is shifted out on the falling edge of
TCK
.
TDO
continues to shift
out the contents of the instruction register as long as the
SHIFT
_
IR
state is active. The
TAP controller remains in the
SHIFT
_
IR
state as long as
TMS
remains low.
During the
SHIFT
_
IR
state, an instruction code is entered by shifting data on the
TDI
pin on the rising edge of
TCK
. You must clock the last bit of the
OPCODE
at the same time
that the next state,
EXIT1
_
IR
, is activated;
EXIT1
_
IR
is entered by clocking a logic high
on
TMS
. After in the
EXIT1
_
IR
state,
TDO
becomes tri-stated again.
TDO
is always
tri-stated except in the
SHIFT
_
IR
and
SHIFT
_
DR
states. After an instruction code is
entered correctly, the TAP controller advances to perform the serial shifting of test
data in one of three modes (
SAMPLE
/
PRELOAD
,
EXTEST
, or
BYPASS
).
For MAX V devices, there are weak pull-up resistors for
TDI
and
TMS
, and pull-down
resistors for
TCK
. However, in a JTAG chain, there might be some devices that do not
have internal pull-up or pull-down resistors. In this case, Altera recommends pulling
the
TMS
pin high (through an external 10-k resistor), and pulling
TCK
low (through an
external 1-k resistor) during BST or in-system programmability (ISP) to prevent the
TAP controller from going into an unintended state. Pulling-up the
TDI
signal
externally for the MAX V device is optional.
fFor more information about the pull-up and pull-down resistors, refer to
AN 100: In-System Programmability Guidelines.
SAMPLE/PRELOAD Instruction Mode
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
instruction mode allows you to take a snapshot of device data
without interrupting normal device operation. However,
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
instruction
mode is most often used to preload the test data into the update registers before
loading the
EXTEST
instruction.
During the capture phase, multiplexers preceding the capture registers select the
active device data signals and clocked data into the capture registers. The
multiplexers at the outputs of the update registers also select active device data to
prevent functional interruptions to the device.
During the shift phase, the boundary-scan shift register is formed by clocking data
through capture registers around the device periphery and then out of the
TDO
pin.
New test data can simultaneously be shifted into
TDI
and replace the contents of the
capture registers. During the update phase, data in the capture registers is transferred
to the update registers.You can then use this data in
EXTEST
instruction mode. For
more information, refer to “EXTEST Instruction Mode” on page 8–10.

Figure 8–8 shows the capture, shift, and update phases of
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
mode.
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
instruction code shifts in through the
TDI
pin. The TAP controller
advances to the
CAPTURE
_
DR
state and then to the
SHIFT
_
DR
state, where it remains if
TMS
is held low. The data shifted out of the
TDO
pin consists of the data that was
present in the capture registers after the capture phase. New test data shifted into the
TDI
pin appears at the
TDO
pin after being clocked through the entire boundary-scan
register.

Figure 8–9 shows that the test data that shifted into
TDI
does not appear at the
TDO
pin
until after the capture register data that is shifted out. If
TMS
is held high on two
consecutive
TCK
clock cycles, the TAP controller advances to the
UPDATE
_
DR
state for
the update phase.
If you enable the device output enable feature but the
DEV
_
OE
pin is not asserted
during boundary-scan testing, the output enable boundary-scan registers of the BSCs
capture data from the core of the device during
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
. These values are not
high impedance, although the I/O pins are tri-stated.
Figure 8–9 shows the
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
waveforms.
EXTEST Instruction Mode
Use
EXTEST
instruction mode to check the external pin connections between devices.
Unlike
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
mode,
EXTEST
allows test data to be forced onto the pin
signals. By forcing known logic high and low levels on output pins, you can detect
opens and shorts at pins of any device in the scan chain.
EXTEST
selects data differently than
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
.
EXTEST
chooses data from the
update registers as the source of the output and output enable signals. After the
EXTEST
instruction code is entered, the multiplexers select the update register data;
thus, you can force the data stored in these registers from a previous
EXTEST
or
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
test cycle onto the pin signals. In the capture phase, the results of this
test data are stored in the capture registers and then shifted out of
TDO
during the shift
phase. You can store the new test data in the update registers during the update
phase.

Figure 8–11 resembles the
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
waveform diagram, except that the
instruction code for
EXTEST
is different. The data shifted out of
TDO
consists of the data
that was present in the capture registers after the capture phase. New test data shifted
into the
TDI
pin appears at the
TDO
pin after being clocked through the entire
boundary-scan register.
BYPASS Instruction Mode
You can activate
BYPASS
instruction mode with an instruction code made up of only
ones. Figure 8–12 shows how scan data passes through a device after the TAP
controller is in the
SHIFT
_
DR
state. In this state, data signals are clocked into the bypass
register from
TDI
on the rising edge of
TCK
and out of
TDO
on the falling edge of the
same clock pulse.
IDCODE Instruction Mode
Use
IDCODE
instruction mode to identify the devices in an IEEE Std. 1149.1 chain.
When you select
IDCODE
, the device identification register loads with the 32-bit
vendor-defined identification code. The device ID register is connected between the
TDI
and
TDO
ports and the device
IDCODE
is shifted out.

USERCODE Instruction Mode
Use
USERCODE
instruction mode to examine the user electronic signature (UES) within
the devices along an IEEE Std. 1149.1 chain. When you select this instruction, the
device identification register is connected between the
TDI
and
TDO
ports. The user-
defined UES shifts into the device ID register in parallel from the 32-bit
USERCODE
register. The UES then shifts out through the device ID register. The
USERCODE
information is only available after the device is successfully configured.
Non-volatile
USERCODE
data is written to the configuration flash memory (CFM) block
and then written to the SRAM at power up. The
USERCODE
instruction reads the data
values from the SRAM. When you use real-time ISP to update the CFM block and
write new
USERCODE
data, executing the
USERCODE
instruction returns the
USERCODE
of
the current running design (stored in the SRAM), not the new
USERCODE
data. The
USERCODE
of the new design (stored in the CFM) can only be read back correctly if a
power cycle or forced SRAM download has transpired after the real-time ISP update.
In the Quartus®II software, there is an Auto Usercode feature where you can choose
to use the checksum value of a programming file as the JTAG user code. If selected,
the checksum is automatically loaded to the
USERCODE
register.
To enable the Auto Usercode feature, follow these steps:
1. On the Assignments menu, click Device.
2. In the Device dialog box, click Device and Pin Options and click the General tab.
3. Turn on Auto Usercode.
CLAMP Instruction Mode
Use
CLAMP
instruction mode to allow the state of the signals driven from the pins to be
determined from the boundary-scan register while the bypass register is selected as
the serial path between the
TDI
and
Tmv51008.fmDO
ports. Data held in the boundary-
scan register completely defines the state of all signals driven from the output pins.
However,
CLAMP
instruction mode will not override the I/O weak pull-up resistor or
the I/O bus hold if you have any of them selected.
HIGHZ Instruction Mode
Use
HIGHZ
instruction mode to set all of the user I/O pins to an inactive drive state.
These pins are tri-stated until you execute a new JTAG instruction. When you select
this instruction, the bypass register is connected between the
TDI
and
TDO
ports.
HIGHZ
instruction mode will not override the I/O weak pull-up resistor or I/O bus hold if
you have any of them selected.
I/O Voltage Support in the JTAG Chain
There can be several different Altera or non-Altera devices in a JTAG chain. However,
you must pay attention to whether or not the chain contains devices with different
VCCIO levels. The
TDO
pin of a device drives out at the voltage level according to the
VCCIO of the device. For MAX V devices, the
TDO
pin drives out at the voltage level
according to the VCCIO of I/O Bank 1. Although the devices may have different VCCIO
8–14 Chapter 8: JTAG Boundary-Scan Testing in MAX V Devices
Boundary-Scan Test for Programmed Devices
MAX V Device Handbook December 2010 Altera Corporation
levels, the devices can interface with each other. For example, a device with 3.3-V
VCCIO can drive to a device with 5.0-V VCCIO because 3.3 V meets the minimum VIH on
transistor-to-transistor logic (TTL)-level input for the 5.0-V VCCIO device. JTAG pins
on MAX V devices can support 1.5-, 1.8-, 2.5-, or 3.3-V input levels, depending on the
VCCIO voltage of I/O Bank 1.
fFor more information about MultiVolt I/O support, refer to the MAX V Device
Architecture chapter.
You can interface the
TDI
and
TDO
lines of the JTAG pins of devices that have different
VCCIO levels by inserting a level shifter between the devices. If possible, the JTAG
chain must be built such that a device with a higher VCCIO level drives to a device with
an equal or lower VCCIO level. By building the JTAG chain in this manner, a level
shifter may be required only to shift the
TDO
level to a level acceptable to the JTAG
tester.
Figure 8–13 shows the JTAG chain of mixed voltages and how a level shifter is
inserted in the chain.
Boundary-Scan Test for Programmed Devices
For a programmed device, the input buffers are turned off by default for I/O pins that
are set as output only in the design file. You cannot sample on the programmed device
output pins with the default boundary-scan description language (BSDL) file when
the input buffers are turned off.
For boundary-scan testing, you can set the Quartus II software to always enable the
input buffers on a programmed device so it behaves the same as an unprogrammed
device, allowing sample function on output pins in the design. This aspect can cause
slight increase in standby current as the unused input buffer is always on.
To enable the unused input buffers on a programmed device, follow these steps:
1. On the Assignments menu, click Settings.
2. Under Category, select Assembler.
3. Turn on Always Enable Input Buffers.

Chapter 8: JTAG Boundary-Scan Testing in MAX V Devices 8–15
Disabling IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Circuitry
December 2010 Altera Corporation MAX V Device Handbook
Disabling IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Circuitry
You can enable the IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST circuitry for MAX V devices after device
powers up. You must enable this circuitry only if you use the BST or ISP features. This
section describes how to disable the IEEE Std. 1149.1 circuitry to ensure that the
circuitry is not inadvertently enabled when it is not required.
Table 8–3 lists the pin connections necessary for disabling JTAG in MAX V devices
that have dedicated IEEE Std. 1149.1 pins.
Guidelines for IEEE Std. 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Testing
When performing boundary-scan testing with IEEE Std. 1149.1 devices, use the
following guidelines:
■If a pattern (for example, a 10-bit
1010101010
pattern) does not shift out of the
instruction register through the
TDO
pin during the first clock cycle of the
SHIFT
_
IR
state, the proper TAP controller state has not been reached. To solve this problem,
try one of the following procedures:
■Verify that the TAP controller has reached the
SHIFT
_
IR
state correctly. To
advance the TAP controller to the
SHIFT
_
IR
state, return to the
RESET
state and
clock the code
01100
on the
TMS
pin.
■Check the connections to the
VCC
,
GND
, and JTAG pins on the device.
■Perform a
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
test cycle before the first
EXTEST
test cycle to ensure that
known data is present at the device pins when
EXTEST
mode is entered. If the
OEJ
update register contains a
0
, the data in the
OUTJ
update register will be driven out.
The state must be known and correct to avoid contention with other devices in the
system.
■Do not perform
EXTEST
and
SAMPLE/PRELOAD
tests during ISP. These instructions
are supported before and after ISP but not during ISP.

Boundary-Scan Description Language Support
The BSDL—a subset of VHDL—provides a syntax that allows you to describe the
features of an IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST-capable device that can be tested. Test software
development systems then use the BSDL files for test generation, analysis, failure
diagnostics, and in-system programming.

Notes to Table 8–3:
(1) There is no software option to disable JTAG in MAX V devices. The JTAG pins are dedicated.
(2)
VCC
refers to VCCIO of Bank 1.
(3) The
TCK
signal may also be tied high. If
TCK
is tied high, power-up conditions must ensure that
TMS
is pulled high
before
TCK
. Pulling
TCK
low avoids this power-up condition.
