None of these components has any parameters that you can set within the Altera
SOPC Builder tool.
The following sections describe each of the FTXL components.
FTXL Parallel Interface Delay
Because the Cyclone II FPGA device has low delay times for its signals, the
required timing for the parallel interface control port is achieved by adding a
separate time-delay function to the Quartus II design.
Figure 18 shows the
Quartus II design view of the FTXL parallel interface delay component.

The delay circuit includes six D flip-flops, which provide the required delay for
the three control signals:
• The CS~ signal is delayed by three clock cycles. It is also inverted by a
NAND gate to ensure that it is active low.
