FPGA Design Considerations for the Configuration Flash

After FPGA configuration, the FPGA design can disable the configuration flash or access

the configuration flash to read/write code or data.

When the FPGA design does not use the configuration flash, the FPGA design must drive

the FPGA FCS_B pin High in order to disable the configuration flash and put the flash into

a quiescent, low-power state. Otherwise, the Platform Flash XL, in particular, can continue

to drive its array data onto the data bus causing unnecessary switching noise and power

consumption.

For FPGA designs that access the flash for reading/writing stored code or data, connect

the FPGA design or EDK embedded memory controller (EMC) peripheral to the flash

through the pins defined in Table 1-5 , pa ge 2 1.

The Platform Flash XL defaults to a synchronous read mode. Typically, the Platform Flash

XL requires an initialization procedure to put the Platform Flash XL into the common,

asynchronous read mode before accessing stored code or data. To put the Platform Flash

XL into asynchronous read mode, apply the Set Configuration Register command

sequence. See the Platform Flash XL High-Density Configuration and Storage Device Data Sheet

for details on the Set Configuration Register command. [Ref17]
