Hello everyone,
I am currently using a MAX 10 FPGA (10M08SAE144C8G) on a self developed pcb. Everythings works perfect except of the ADC pins (Bank 1A) which I want to use as digital I/Os.
I had the intention to not use the ADC at all and followed the MAX 10 connection guidelines:
- I tied VCCA1...6 to VCCA (3.3V).
- ADC_VREF is a no connect
- ANAIN1 is tied to GND
- REFGND is tied to GND
- ADCIN1...8 are used as digital I/Os (not working).
What am I doing wrong? I double checked every pin. It is definitely those pins not working.
First example:
ADCIN5 is connected to a switch. When the switch is not implemented in the pin planner/program I can measure 3.3V or 0V at ADCIN5 (depending on the state of the switch). So the circuit is working as intended. However when I implement the switch in my code i can measure only 2V or 0V at ADCIN5 (a LED wont light up because of that). I guess because the pins are somehow "configured" as ADC pins still? The guideline says you cant use ADC and digital IO function at the same time.
Second example:
I checked again to make sure the code is working.
I have two signals (named S1 & S2) coming out of two pins. One pin is a standard GPIO (Pin1) whereas the other is one of the ADCIN pins on Bank 1A (Pin2).
1st test:
S1 on P1 -> Signal S1 visible (3.3V)
S2 on P2 -> Signal S2 not visible (0V)
2nd test:
S1 on P2 -> Signal S1 not visible (0V)
S2 on P1 -> Signal S2 visible (3.3V)
This confirms my theory that the code is working fine as I can make both Signals visible when I move them to a standard GPIO and NOT the ADCIN pin.
I hope someone can tell me what I am missing. Maybe there's an option I have to activate? It's my first layout with an INTEL MAX 10 FPGA and I really like it. Everything is working fine except of these 8 ADCIN (used as digital I/O) pins.
Greetings Alex
Stay healthy

Ok guys,
I have figured out the problem. So for anyone who might have the same problem. You don't have to set an option.
SOLUTION: The problem was the VCCIO1A pin not having contact with the power supply (3.3V).
Question can be closed!
