ADVANCE INFORMATION
Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRCs) is a common method of performing error checking on areas of OTP and ensuring data integrity of this memory. OTP is used to configure the TPLD2001-Q1’s macro-cells and connection mux routing. The OTP is one-time programmable and holds the device configuration data. OTP memory is loaded during device power up and transferred to TPLD2001-Q1 connection mux.
To ensure the bit integrity of the OTP memory before the stored configuration is loaded from OTP to device registers, as a safety measure, TPLD2001-Q1 implements a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) feature for the OTP to make sure that the data stored in the OTP is uncorrupted. At start-up, the OTP will be read internally and will check for a valid CRC. If the CRC is not valid, this process will be performed for a total of 7 more times. If still not valid after the 8th attempt, the device will proceed with loading the contents from OTP but set the following status bits:
The CRC_ERR_CNT bits in register 0x0FEh [7:5] indicate the number of failed CRC attempts before loading the OTP contents into the configuration of the device. To reset the status bits to 0, issue a software reset command, or cycle power to the TPLD2001-Q1.
The CRC_ERR_FLAG bit in register 0x0FEh [0] indicates there were more than 8 CRC calculation failures in the loading of the OTP contents into the configuration of the device. To reset the status bits to 0, issue a software reset command, or cycle power to the TPLD2001-Q1.
