7.3.5. Estimating Configuration Time
The configuration time is mostly the time it takes to transfer the configuration data from a CFI flash memory or an EPCQ-L device to the Arria® 10 device.
Use the following equations to estimate the configuration time:
AS Configuration
By default, the AS x1 mode is used. The Arria® 10 device determines the AS mode by reading the option bit in the programming file.
- AS x1 mode
Estimated minimum configuration time= .rbf size x (minimum DCLK period / 1 bit per DCLK cycle)
- AS x4 mode
Estimated minimum configuration time = .rbf size x (minimum DCLK period / 4 bits per DCLK cycle)
PS Configuration
Estimated minimum configuration time = .rbf size x (minimum DCLK period / 1 bit per DCLK cycle)
FPP Configuration
Estimated minimum configuration time = .rbf size/FPP data width x r x minimum DCLK period
where r is the DCLK-to-DATA[] ratio.
