Description
The
DEV_CLRn
pin can be used to clear device registers, and the DEV_OE
pin can be used for tristating all the device's output pins. The DEV_CLRn
and DEV_OE
pins are enabled through the Enable Chip-Wide Reset and Enable Chip-Wide Output Enable options in the MAX PLUS II software under Global Project Device Settings (Assign menu).
DEV_CLRn
and DEV_OE
pins are used in the following ways:
- A logic low on the
DEV_CLRn
pin clears all of the device's registers. - A logic low on the
DEV_OE
pin tri-states all of the device's output pins. - These pins are not design dependent or user assigned.
- The
DEV_CLRn
andDEV_OE
pins cannot be used to clear only some of the registers or tristate only some of the output pins; every device register and output pin is affected by these global signals.
