We use Cyclone III device EP3C40F780C8,configuration mode:AS Configuration (Serial Configuration Devices). 

I have a question:what states of FPGA USER I/O during Configuration?

Hi, 

 

all I/O pins remain tri-stated with a weak pull-up during power-up and configuration. 

 

For more details, read the "Configuration Process" in section 9 of the Cyclone III Handbook, Volume I. 

 

Keep in mind that those "weak pull-ups" are not as weak as the name suggests; they can be as low as 7 kOhm. See "DC Characteristics" in the Cyclone III Handbook, Volume II. 

 

 

Best regards,
