Note!

  • JTAGSEL_N and JTAG pins cannot be used as GPIOs simultaneously. However, when mode [2:0] = 001, the JTAGSEL_N pin is always a GPIO, in other words the JTAGSEL_N pin and the four JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) can be used as GPIOs simultaneously. See UG103, GW1N series of FPGA Products Package and Pinout for further information

  • GW1N-1P5 & GW1N-2 device: When Mode[2:0] = I2C (3'b100), the loading rate at which the bitstream is transferred from Flash to SRAM is fixed at 2.5MHz, this may extend the device configuration time
  • For GW1N-4/GW1N-9 UV version devices, if Vcc and Vccx share a pin in a package, the Vccx range (2.5V~3.3V) of GW1N-4/GW1N-9 will limit the Vcc range to 2.5 V~3.3V, in this case Vcc does not support 1.8V.
