Cyclone III Device Active Parallel Configuration
You can perform active parallel (AP) configuration using a supported parallel flash memory. During AP configuration, the Cyclone® III device is the master and the parallel flash memory is the slave. Configuration data is transferred to the Cyclone III device on the DATA[15:0] pins. This configuration data is synchronized to the DCLK input. Configuration data is transferred at a rate of 16 bits per clock cycle. The DCLK frequency driven out by the Cyclone III device during AP configuration is approximately 40 MHz for AP configuration.
Configuration methods in AP mode include:
- Using a supported parallel flash memory
