This chapter describes the electrical and switching characteristics for CycloneIV  
devices. Electrical characteristics include operating conditions and power  
consumption. Switching characteristics include transceiver specifications, core, and  
periphery performance. This chapter also describes I/O timing, including  
programmable I/O element (IOE) delay and programmable output buffer delay.  
This chapter includes the following sections:  
“Operating Conditions” on page 1–1  
“Power Consumption” on page 1–16  
“Switching Characteristics” on page 1–16  
“I/O Timing” on page 1–37  
“Glossary” on page 1–37  
Operating Conditions  
When Cyclone IV devices are implemented in a system, they are rated according to a  
set of defined parameters. To maintain the highest possible performance and  
reliability of Cyclone IV devices, you must consider the operating requirements  
described in this chapter.  
Cyclone IV devices are offered in commercial, industrial, extended industrial and,  
automotive grades. Cyclone IV E devices offer –6 (fastest), –7, –8, –8L, and –9L speed  
grades for commercial devices, –8L speed grades for industrial devices, and –7 speed  
grade for extended industrial and automotive devices. Cyclone IV GX devices offer  
–6 (fastest), –7, and –8 speed grades for commercial devices and –7 speed grade for  
industrial devices.

For more information about the supported speed grades for respective Cyclone IV  
devices, refer to the Cyclone IV FPGA Device Family Overview chapter.  
Cyclone IV E devices are offered in core voltages of 1.0 and 1.2 V. Cyclone IV E  
devices with a core voltage of 1.0 V have an ‘L’ prefix attached to the speed grade.  
In this chapter, a prefix associated with the operating temperature range is attached to  
the speed grades; commercial with a “C” prefix, industrial with an “I” prefix, and  
automotive with an “A” prefix. Therefore, commercial devices are indicated as C6, C7,  
C8, C8L, or C9L per respective speed grade. Industrial devices are indicated as I7, I8,  
or I8L. Automotive devices are indicated as A7.

Operating Conditions  
1
Cyclone IV E industrial devices I7 are offered with extended operating temperature  
range.  
Absolute Maximum Ratings  
Absolute maximum ratings define the maximum operating conditions for Cyclone IV  
devices. The values are based on experiments conducted with the device and  
theoretical modeling of breakdown and damage mechanisms. The functional  
operation of the device is not implied at these conditions. Table 1–1 lists the absolute  
maximum ratings for Cyclone IV devices.  
c
Conditions beyond those listed in Table 1–1 cause permanent damage to the device.  
Additionally, device operation at the absolute maximum ratings for extended periods  
of time have adverse effects on the device.

Maximum Allowed Overshoot or Undershoot Voltage  
During transitions, input signals may overshoot to the voltage shown in Table 1–2 and  
undershoot to –2.0 V for a magnitude of currents less than 100 mA and for periods  
shorter than 20 ns. Table 1–2 lists the maximum allowed input overshoot voltage and  
the duration of the overshoot voltage as a percentage over the lifetime of the device.  
The maximum allowed overshoot duration is specified as a percentage of high-time  
over the lifetime of the device.

A DC signal is equivalent to 100% duty cycle. For example, a signal that overshoots to  
4.3 V can only be at 4.3 V for 65% over the lifetime of the device; for a device lifetime  
of 10 years, this amounts to 65/10ths of a year.

Figure 1–1 shows the methodology to determine the overshoot duration. The  
overshoot voltage is shown in red and is present on the input pin of the Cyclone IV  
device at over 4.3 V but below 4.4 V. From Table 1–2, for an overshoot of 4.3 V, the  
percentage of high time for the overshoot can be as high as 65% over a 10-year period.  
Percentage of high time is calculated as ([delta T]/T) × 100. This 10-year period  
assumes that the device is always turned on with 100% I/O toggle rate and 50% duty  
cycle signal. For lower I/O toggle rates and situations in which the device is in an idle  
state, lifetimes are increased.

Notes to Table 1–4:  
(1) All VCCA pins must be powered to 2.5 V (even when PLLs are not used) and must be powered up and powered down at the same time.  
(2) You must connect VCCD_PLL to VCCINT through a decoupling capacitor and ferrite bead.  
(3) Power supplies must rise monotonically.  
(4) VCCIO for all I/O banks must be powered up during device operation. Configurations pins are powered up by VCCIO of I/O Banks 3, 8, and 9 where  
I/O Banks 3 and 9 only support VCCIO of 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 3.0, and 3.3 V. For fast passive parallel (FPP) configuration mode, the VCCIO level of I/O  
Bank 8 must be powered up to 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 3.0, and 3.3 V.  
(5) You must set VCC_CLKIN to 2.5 V if you use CLKIN as a high-speed serial interface (HSSI) refclk or as a DIFFCLK input.  
(6) The CLKIN pins in I/O Banks 3B and 8B can support single-ended I/O standard when the pins are used to clock left PLLs in non-transceiver  
applications.  
(7) The POR time for Standard POR ranges between 50 and 200 ms. VCCINT, VCCA, and VCCIO of I/O Banks 3, 8, and 9 must reach the recommended  
operating range within 50 ms.  
(8) The POR time for Fast POR ranges between 3 and 9 ms. VCCINT, VCCA, and VCCIO of I/O Banks 3, 8, and 9 must reach the recommended operating  
range within 3 ms.  
ESD Performance  
This section lists the electrostatic discharge (ESD) voltages using the human body  
model (HBM) and charged device model (CDM) for Cyclone IV devices general  
purpose I/Os (GPIOs) and high-speed serial interface (HSSI) I/Os. Table 1–5 lists the  
ESD for Cyclone IV devices GPIOs and HSSI I/Os.

Operating Conditions  
DC Characteristics  
This section lists the I/O leakage current, pin capacitance, on-chip termination (OCT)  
tolerance, and bus hold specifications for Cyclone IV devices.  
Supply Current  
The device supply current requirement is the minimum current drawn from the  
power supply pins that can be used as a reference for power size planning. Use the  
Excel-based early power estimator (EPE) to get the supply current estimates for your  
design because these currents vary greatly with the resources used. Table 1–6 lists the  
I/O pin leakage current for Cyclone IV devices.

(2) The 10 A I/O leakage current limit is applicable when the internal clamping diode is off. A higher current can be observed when the diode is on.  
Bus Hold  
The bus hold retains the last valid logic state after the source driving it either enters  
the high impedance state or is removed. Each I/O pin has an option to enable bus  
hold in user mode. Bus hold is always disabled in configuration mode.

Operating Conditions  
Example 1–1 shows how to calculate the change of 50-I/O impedance from 25°C at  
3.0 V to 85°C at 3.15 V.  
Example 1–1. Impedance Change  
RV = (3.15 – 3) × 1000 × –0.026 = –3.83  
RT = (85 – 25) × 0.262 = 15.72  
Because RV is negative,  
MFV = 1 / (3.83/100 + 1) = 0.963  
Because RT is positive,  
MFT = 15.72/100 + 1 = 1.157  
MF = 0.963 × 1.157 = 1.114  
R
final = 50 × 1.114 = 55.71 

(2) When you use the VREF pin as a regular input or output, you can expect a reduced performance of toggle rate and tCO because of higher pin  
capacitance.  
(3) CVREFTB for the EP4CE22 device is 30 pF.

Schmitt Trigger Input  
Cyclone IV devices support Schmitt trigger input on the TDI  
, TMS, TCK, nSTATUS,  
nCONFIG, nCE,  
CONF_DONE, and DCLK pins. A Schmitt trigger feature introduces  
hysteresis to the input signal for improved noise immunity, especially for signals with  
slow edge rate. Table 1–14 lists the hysteresis specifications across the supported  
V
CCIO range for Schmitt trigger inputs in Cyclone IV devices.

Power Consumption  
Power Consumption  
Use the following methods to estimate power for a design:  
the Excel-based EPE  
the QuartusII PowerPlay power analyzer feature  
The interactive Excel-based EPE is used prior to designing the device to get a  
magnitude estimate of the device power. The Quartus II PowerPlay power analyzer  
provides better quality estimates based on the specifics of the design after  
place-and-route is complete. The PowerPlay power analyzer can apply a combination  
of user-entered, simulation-derived, and estimated signal activities that, combined  
with detailed circuit models, can yield very accurate power estimates.  
f
For more information about power estimation tools, refer to the Early Power Estimator  
User Guide and the PowerPlay Power Analysis chapter in volume 3 of the Quartus II  
Handbook.  
Switching Characteristics  
This section provides performance characteristics of Cyclone IV core and periphery  
blocks for commercial grade devices.  
These characteristics can be designated as Preliminary or Final.  
Preliminary characteristics are created using simulation results, process data, and  
other known parameters. The upper-right hand corner of these tables show the  
designation as “Preliminary”.  
Final numbers are based on actual silicon characterization and testing. The  
numbers reflect the actual performance of the device under worst-case silicon  
process, voltage, and junction temperature conditions. There are no designations  
on finalized tables.

Notes to Table 1–21:  
(1) This specification is valid for transmitter output jitter specification with a maximum total jitter value of 112 ps, typically for 3.125 Gbps SRIO and XAUI  
protocols.  
(2) The minimum reconfig_clk frequency is 2.5 MHz if the transceiver channel is configured in Transmitter Only mode. The minimum reconfig_clk frequency  
is 37.5 MHz if the transceiver channel is configured in Receiver Only or Receiver and Transmitter mode.  
(3) The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.  
(4) The rate matcher supports only up to 300 parts per million (ppm).  
(5) Supported for the F169 and F324 device packages only.  
(6) Supported for the F484, F672, and F896 device packages only. Pending device characterization.  
(7) To support CDR ppm tolerance greater than 300 ppm, implement ppm detector in user logic and configure CDR to Manual Lock Mode.  
(8) Asynchronous spread-spectrum clocking is not supported.  
(9) For the EP4CGX30 (F484 package only), EP4CGX50, and EP4CGX75 devices, the CDR ppl tolerance is 200 ppm.  
(10) Time taken until pll_locked goes high after pll_powerdown deasserts.  
(11) Time that the CDR must be kept in lock-to-reference mode after rx_analogreset deasserts and before rx_locktodata is asserted in manual mode.  
(12) Time taken to recover valid data after the rx_locktodata signal is asserted in manual mode (Figure 1–2), or after rx_freqlocked signal goes high in  
automatic mode (Figure 1–3).  
(13) Time taken to recover valid data after the rx_locktodata signal is asserted in manual mode.  
(14) Time taken to recover valid data after the rx_freqlocked signal goes high in automatic mode.  
(15) To support data rates lower than the minimum specification through oversampling, use the CDR in LTR mode only.

Notes to Table 1–25:  
(1) This table is applicable for general purpose PLLs and multipurpose PLLs.  
(2) You must connect VCCD_PLL to VCCINT through the decoupling capacitor and ferrite bead.  
(3) This parameter is limited in the Quartus II software by the I/O maximum frequency. The maximum I/O frequency is different for each I/O  
standard.  
(4) The VCO frequency reported by the Quartus II software in the PLL Summary section of the compilation report takes into consideration the VCO  
post-scale counter K value. Therefore, if the counter K has a value of 2, the frequency reported can be lower than the fVCO specification.  
(5) A high input jitter directly affects the PLL output jitter. To have low PLL output clock jitter, you must provide a clean clock source that is less  
than 200 ps.  
(6) Peak-to-peak jitter with a probability level of 10–12 (14 sigma, 99.99999999974404% confidence level). The output jitter specification applies  
to the intrinsic jitter of the PLL when an input jitter of 30 ps is applied.  
(7) With 100-MHz scanclk frequency.  
(8) The cascaded PLLs specification is applicable only with the following conditions:  
Upstream PLL—0.59 MHz Upstream PLL bandwidth < 1 MHz  
Downstream PLL—Downstream PLL bandwidth > 2 MHz  
(9) PLL cascading is not supported for transceiver applications.

Periphery Performance  
This section describes periphery performance, including high-speed I/O and external  
memory interface.  
I/O performance supports several system interfaces, such as the high-speed I/O  
interface, external memory interface, and the PCI/PCI-X bus interface. I/Os using the  
SSTL-18 Class I termination standard can achieve up to the stated DDR2 SDRAM  
interfacing speeds. I/Os using general-purpose I/O standards such as 3.3-, 3.0-, 2.5-,  
1.8-, or 1.5-LVTTL/LVCMOS are capable of a typical 200 MHz interfacing frequency  
with a 10 pF load.

For more information about the supported maximum clock rate, device and pin  
planning, IP implementation, and device termination, refer to Section III: System  
Performance Specifications of the External Memory Interfaces Handbook.  
Actual achievable frequency depends on design- and system-specific factors. Perform  
HSPICE/IBIS simulations based on your specific design and system setup to  
determine the maximum achievable frequency in your system.

I/O Timing  
I/O Timing  
Use the following methods to determine I/O timing:  
the Excel-based I/O Timing  
the Quartus II timing analyzer  
The Excel-based I/O timing provides pin timing performance for each device density  
and speed grade. The data is typically used prior to designing the FPGA to get a  
timing budget estimation as part of the link timing analysis. The Quartus II timing  
analyzer provides a more accurate and precise I/O timing data based on the specifics  
of the design after place-and-route is complete.  
f
The Excel-based I/O Timing spreadsheet is downloadable from Cyclone IV Devices  
Literature website.

VSS  
The JEDEC standard for SSTl and HSTL I/O standards defines both the AC and DC input signal  
values. The AC values indicate the voltage levels at which the receiver must meet its timing  
specifications. The DC values indicate the voltage levels at which the final logic state of the  
receiver is unambiguously defined. After the receiver input crosses the AC value, the receiver  
changes to the new logic state. The new logic state is then maintained as long as the input stays  
beyond the DC threshold. This approach is intended to provide predictable receiver timing in the  
presence of input waveform ringing.  
SW (Sampling  
Window)  
High-speed I/O block: The period of time during which the data must be valid to capture it  
correctly. The setup and hold times determine the ideal strobe position in the sampling window.
