Symbol
Name/Description
M2
Mode 2
. This input has a passive pull-up during configuration. Together with M0 and M1, it is 
sampled before the start of configuration to establish the configuration mode to be used. After 
configuration, this pin becomes a user-programmable I/O pin.
HDC
High During Configuration
. HDC is held at a high level by the FPGA until after configuration. It 
is available as a control output indicating that configuration is not yet completed. After 
configuration, this pin is a user I/O pin.
LDC
Low During Configuration
. This active-low signal is held at a low level by the FPGA until after 
configuration. It is available as a control output indicating that configuration is not yet completed. 
It is particularly useful in master mode as a low enable for an EPROM. After configuration, this 
pin is a user I/O pin. If used as a low EPROM enable, it must be programmed as a high after 
configuration.
INIT
This is an active-low, open-drain output which is held low during the power stabilization and 
internal clearing of the configuration memory. It can be used to indicate status to a configuring 
microprocessor or, as a wired-AND of several slave mode devices, a hold-off signal for a master 
mode device. After configuration, this pin becomes a user-programmable I/O pin.
BCLKIN
This is a direct CMOS level input to the alternate clock buffer (auxiliary buffer) in the lower right 
corner.
XTL1
This user I/O pin can be used to operate as the output of an amplifier driving an external crystal 
and bias circuitry.
XTL2
This user I/O pin can be used as the input of an amplifier connected to an external crystal and 
bias circuitry. The I/O block is left unconfigured. The oscillator configuration is activated by 
routing a net from the oscillator buffer symbol output and by the 
ORCA
 Foundry bit stream 
generation program.
CS0
, 
CS1
, 
CS2, 
WS
These four inputs represent a set of signals, three active-low and one active-high, which are 
used in the peripheral mode to control configuration data entry. The assertion of all four 
generates a write to the internal data buffer. The removal of any assertion clocks in the D[7:0] 
data present.  In the master parallel mode, 
WS
 and CS2 are the A0 and A1 outputs. After 
configuration, the pins are user-programmable I/O pins.
