Precautions

Do Not

1. This product uses ordinary off-the-shelf electronic components, and is therefore inappropriate for use in

applications that require special quality or reliability and are expected to protect human lives or prevent

accidents, such as safety mechanisms in fields including space, aeronautics, medicine, and nuclear

power.

2. Do not be used underwater or in high-humidity environments.

3. Do not be used in the presence of corrosive gases, combustible gases, or other flammable gases.

4. Do not turn on power when circuit board surface is in contact with other metal.

5. Do not apply voltage higher than rated voltage.

Attention

6. This manual may be revised in the future without notice owing to improvements.

7. All efforts have been made to produce the best manual possible, but if users notice an error or other

problem, we ask that they notify us.

8. Item 7 notwithstanding, HuMANDATA cannot be held liable for the consequences arising from use of

this product.

9. HuMANDATA cannot be held liable for consequences arising from using this product in a way different

from the uses described herein, or from uses not shown herein.

10. This manual, circuit diagrams, sample circuits, and other content may not be copied, reproduced, or

distributed without permission.

11. If the product emits smoke, catches fire, or becomes unusually hot, cut the power immediately.

12. Be careful of static electricity.

13. This product may be subject to the export restrictions of Japan, the United States, or other countries.

Purchasers are responsible for properly observing export restrictions.

14. HuMANDATA firmly refuses to export (including reexporting) products to countries or regions subject to

export restrictions.

Product Warranty and Scope of Support

1. HuMANDATA guarantees that its products can be assembled as shown in published circuit diagrams and other design documents.

There may be differences between actual components or their prescribed quantities and model numbers and those shown in circuit

diagrams.

2. Except for the guarantee in item 1, above, no guarantees whatsoever are made. When assembling the product as shown in a circuit

diagram is impossible, and the problem can be solved by revising the diagram, HuMANDATA will revise the diagram. When a

problem can be solved only by replacing components or modifying the product, HuMANDATA will take back the product to replace it

with a properly functioning product.

3. If the problem is minor, HuMANDATA will sometimes describe how to make the revision or modification, and ask the customer to

solve the problem.

4. HuMANDATA will determine how to honor the warranty, as through repair, replacement, return, or other action. The customer cannot

specify what action to take.

5. FPGAs and other components used in products sometimes have characteristic defects. Returns and replacements are not possible

even if such defects are discovered, whether before or after purchase.

6. HuMANDATA shall not be obligated to inform customers about defects in the main components used in products.

7. HuMANDATA shall not be obligated to provide support for products, or to provide support for the software of other companies

needed to use HuMANDATA products.

8. Published documentation shall be limited to that published by HuMANDATA at the time of product purchase, and HuMANDATA shall

not be obligated to provide any other documentation.

9. When repairs or replacements are provided under warranty in Japan, purchaser shall pay shipping charges for shipping to

HuMANDATA, and HuMANDATA shall pay shipping charges for shipping to purchaser.

10. When shipping from outside of Japan, purchaser shall pay all expenses including shipping charges and taxes.

11. Under whatever circumstances, HuMANDATA shall provide support for its products for a maximum of one year after shipping from

factory.

12. The Warranty is not applicable and support ends in the event of fire, storm and flood damage, earthquakes, lightning strikes, and

other natural disasters, as well as conflict or other occurrences.

13. Purchaser is assumed to have read and understood all the above when purchasing a HuMANDATA product.

Limitation of Liability

1. Purchasers assume all liability associated with the use of this product.

2. HuMANDATA assumes no liability whatsoever for any direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the

use of this product, even if HuMANDATA has been advised of the possibility of such damage, whether legal or in tort.

3. At the time this product is purchased, items 1 and 2 above shall be deemed to have been confirmed by purchaser.

Trademarks and Other Considerations

1. This manual uses various companies’ trademarks in places.

2. HuMANDATA is this company’s registered trademark.

HuMANDATA’s Philosophy

1. HuMANDATA endeavors to raise product quality. We continually make detailed improvements and adjustments that are not shown

in circuit diagrams.

2. HuMANDATA actively publishes, on the Web and in other ways, information considered useful to customers. Examples would be

how to use FPGAs and how to use development tools.

3. HuMANDATA makes efforts for the long-term provision of products and for continuing their long-term support.

4. Instead of concealing small product problems and documentation errors, HuMANDATA makes them public.

5. HuMANDATA abides by Japanese law and its spirit. We make no transactions with purchasers who commit illegal acts.

1. Unused Pins

Unused Pins Unused Pins

Unused Pins [IMPORTANT]

[IMPORTANT][IMPORTANT]

[IMPORTANT]

Some unused I/O pins are connected to GND or VCCINT (1.2 V).

Smaller FPGAs use those pins as general-purpose I/Os, but larger FPGAs use those

pins as GND or VCC.

Therefore, they must be set as “As input tri-stated”.

If you forget to set the pins properly, large current will flow and damage FPGA and

peripheral circuit.

To set the unused I/O pins follow the steps below:

1. Open “Assignments” and click “Device…”

2. Click “Device & Pin Options…” button

3. Open “Unused Pins” tab

4. Set Reserve all unused pins as “As input tri-stated”
