When is Min or Max of the Tpor?

Dear all, 

When I use Spartan6, I see Tpor is between 5 to 40 ms.

The question is, in which case Tpor is 5ms,  and in which case Tpor is about 40ms?

Thank you for your time!

Always assume worst case.

Always assume worst case.


But whether 5ms or 40ms is worse is left as an exercise for the designer of the board that has the FPGA on it...

For me, the 5ms is the worst case.

Thank you!

Added power supply supervisor to mini-FAQ

[ Edited ]

You may be in the market for a power supply supervisor, to delay FPGA configuration until some other component on the board is 'spun up' and ready.  I've added the following to the mini-FAQ post in the New User Forum README thread.

 

FPGA doesn't configure from SPI on power up - configuration needs to be delayed link#1  link#2

 

If anyone would like to nominate better threads for linking in the mini-FAQ, please let me know...  (and thanks!)

README for newbies is here: http://forums.xilinx.com/t5/New-Users-Forum/README-first-Help-for-new-users/td-p/219369

Summary:
1. Read the manual or user guide. Have you read the manual? Can you find the manual?
2. Search the forums (and search the web) for similar topics.
3. Do not post the same question on multiple forums.
4. Do not post a new topic or question on someone else's thread, start a new thread!
5. Students: Copying code is not the same as learning to design.
6 "It does not work" is not a question which can be answered. Provide useful details (with webpage, datasheet links, please).
7. You are not charged extra fees for comments in your code.
8. I am not paid for forum posts. If I write a good post, then I have been good for nothing.
