Cyclone II Hot-Socketing Specifications
4–2
Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1
Devices Can Be Driven before Power-Up
You can drive signals into the I/O pins, dedicated input pins, and
dedicated clock pins of Cyclone II devices before or during power-up or
power-down without damaging the device. Cyclone II devices support
any power-up or power-down sequence (V
system level design.
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 Cyclone II device’s output buffers are
turned off during system power-up or power-down. The Cyclone II
device also does not drive out until the device is configured and has
attained proper operating conditions. The I/O pins are tri-stated until the
device enters user mode with a weak pull-up resistor (R) to 3.3V. Refer to

This specification takes into account the pin capacitance but not board
trace and external loading capacitance. You must consider additional
capacitance for trace, connector, and loading separately.

specification applies when all V
powered-up or powered-down conditions. For the AC specification, the
peak current duration due to power-up transients is 10 ns or less.
A possible concern for semiconductor devices in general regarding hot
socketing is the potential for latch-up. Latch-up can occur when electrical
subsystems are hot socketed into an active system. During hot socketing,
the signal pins may be connected and driven by the active system before

information.) The power supply ramp rates can range from
100 µs to 100 ms for non “A” devices. Both V
power down within 100 ms of each other to prevent I/O pins
from driving out. During hot socketing, the I/O pin capacitance
is less than 15 pF and the clock pin capacitance is less than 20 pF.
