4.1. Understanding the Reset Release IP Requirement
The continual increases in clock frequency, device size, and design complexity now necessitate a reset strategy that considers the possible effects of slight differences in the release from reset. The Reset Release Intel FPGA IP holds a control circuit in reset until the device has fully entered user mode. The Reset Release FPGA IP generates an inverted version of the internal INIT_DONE signal, nINIT_DONE for use in your design.
After nINIT_DONE asserts (low), all logic is in user mode and operates normally. You can use the nINIT_DONE signal in one of the following ways:
- To gate an external or internal reset.
- To gate the reset input to the transceiver and I/O PLLs.
- To gate the write enable of design blocks such as embedded memory blocks, state machine, and shift registers.
- To synchronously drive register reset input ports in your design.
