Hi,
I have a driver (244) with its OE-pins strapped to ground driving towards I/O-pins of a 2V4000 FPGA. I will make sure these are pure inputs once the configuration is loaded. I'm also aware of the fact that the FPGA tristates its IOs prior to configuration. All devices are connected to the same VCC, the 244 is never powered when the FPGA is not, and vice versa. My question is: what happens during Power-up (or Power-down)? Is it possible that the FPGA-IOs are damaged during power transition when the 244 is already (still) firing at full force?
Any thoughts on this are appreciated. Gunter
