Is there any problem if a floating voltage exists on VCCIO and VCCPT before it is ramped up and after it is ramped down in Intel® Arria® 10 devices and Cyclone® 10 devices?

    Description

    No, there is no problem if a floating voltage exists on VCCIO and VCCPT before it is ramped up and after it is ramped down in Intel® Arria® 10 devices and Cyclone® 10 devices. Leakage can occur between VCC and VCCIO as well as between VCC and VCCPT, which can cause both VCCIO and VCCPT to float up to a maximum approximation of 0.8V before the power supply is ramped up and after the power supply is ramped down.

    This is expected behavior and will neither cause any functional failure nor reliability concern to the device if the power-up and power-down sequences are followed.

    This behavior can only be observed if the regulators were designed to leave the power supplies to float before they ramp up and after they ramp down.
