Jon,
I found where we have some info on mixed voltage environments in the config
section of the Virtex-II UG
http://direct.xilinx.com/bvdocs/userguides/ug002.pdf (see pg 281)
While this is not a V4 Users Guide and your issue is not specific to the
JTAG pins, the information is applicable to your device. The main point to
keep in mind is that the Vih-min for LVCMOS33 is 2.0V. At 2.5V on the
pull-ups for DONE and INIT, you exceed this by ~500mV and are OK (assuming
no SI issues in the PCB). This may explain the mixed voltages on the ML405.
If you have Vcco_0 at 3.3V the configuration pins are expecting LVCMOS33
levels, thus there is no problem with having the pull-up Vcc to DONE and
INIT at 3.3V.

Just had a look at some of the Xilinx development boards e.g. ML405 and
they seem to have Vcco_0 connected to 3.3V but have the pullups on done,
init_b connected to 2.5V. Is it possible to have them pulled up to 3.3V
instead? The documentation seems a bit vague about what supply you need to
use.

Maxascent,
It is unclear on what you mean by powering the "configuration block" to
3.3V. You can power Vcco_0 (aka Vcco_config) to 3.3V. Be sure to read the
V4 Configuration UG (see pg 15) on the requirements for all the dedicated
configuration input pins and other requirements based on your configuration
mode.

Hi
Could someone just confirm for me that I can connect the config block to
3.3V in a Virtex 4 device. I have checked the data sheet and it seems to
indicate this. I just want to check as I have been using Virtex 2 Pro
devices which need to be 2.5V.
