Clarity to a statement within the PFL Intel FPGA IP User Guide wrt pulsing pfl_nreconfigure pin low

Clarity is required 2 statements within the 'Parallel Flash Loader Intel FPGA IP User Guide' wrt pulsing pin low to initiate a new reconfiguration :

Page 20 states :

1.3.6.1      ....  3. After 15 clock cycles, pulse the pfl_nreconfigure input pin to low

Page 21 states :

1.3.6.2     Bullet point 2 last sentence :

                 The pfl_nreconfigure signal pulsed low for greater than one pfl_clk_cycle

So from the above 2 statements to initiate reconfiguration do we need to :

After pfl_nreset goes '1'  (out of reset) :

Pulse the pfl_nreconfigure input pin to low after 15 clock cycles and keep it low for greater      than 1 pfl_clk_cycles

Please confirm ...

Hi Kevin,


Your understanding is correct.

Once the pfl_nreset pin is 'high' ('1'), wait for 15 pfl_clk cycles and then drive pfl_nreconfigure to 'low' ('0').

BUT pulse pfl_nreconfigure signal low  after 15 pfl_clk cycles for greater than 1 pfl_clk_cycle.

Please reconfirm ..

Yes, the minimum pulse width for the pfl_nreconfigure = '0' should be one pfl_clk cycle.
