Hello All,
I have routed a 3.3v to VREFB1N0 in cyclone IV. However,now,I am no longer needed that voltage reference. So,should I disable the voltage reference pins? If yes,how can I do it?By changing that pin to output pins? Hope to hear from any of you sooner. ThanksLink Copied

The questions seems to be based on wrong assumptions.
The VREF pins are used for voltage referenced I/O standards like SSTL with DDR RAM. Their function is automatic and don't need specific assignments (of course, they must not be configured as outputs when used as a reference input). Unused Vref pins are treated similar to unused regular I/Os, sharing the global unused pin policy. I can't imagine a reason to connect Vref to 3.3V.- Mark as New

Thanks for the explanation. To be frank, I was connecting the vref wrongly and somehow that bank does not working as expected(leds connected to that particular bank light up when they are supposed not to be)
That's why I was wondering if it has something to do with the wrong voltage assignment on that bank vref- Mark as New

Since VREF pins are usually I/Os also, make them inputs.
