Maximum Allowed Overshoot and Undershoot Voltage
During transitions, input signals may overshoot to the voltage shown in Table 1–3 and
undershoot to –2.0 V for magnitude of currents less than 100 mA and periods shorter
than 20 ns.
Table 1–3 lists the Arria II GX and GZ maximum allowed input overshoot voltage and
the duration of the overshoot voltage as a percentage over the device lifetime. 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 5.41% over the lifetime of the
device; for a device lifetime of 10 years, this amounts to 5.41/10ths of a year.

Notes to Table 1–5:
(1) For more information about supply pin connections, refer to the Arria II Device Family Pin Connection Guidelines.
(2) Altera recommends a 3.0-V nominal battery voltage when connecting VCCBAT to a battery for volatile key backup. If you do not use the volatile
security key, you may connect the VCCBAT to either GND or a 3.0-V power supply.
(3) VCCPD must be 2.5-V for I/O banks with 2.5-V and lower VCCIO, 3.0-V for 3.0-V VCCIO, and 3.3-V for 3.3-V VCCIO.
(4) VCCIO for 3C and 8C I/O banks where the configuration pins reside only supports 3.3-, 3.0-, 2.5-, or 1.8-V voltage levels.
Table 1–6 lists the recommended operating conditions for Arria II GZ devices.

Notes to Table 1–6:
(1) Altera recommends a 3.0-V nominal battery voltage when connecting VCCBAT to a battery for volatile key backup. If you do not use the volatile
security key, you may connect the VCCBAT to either GND or a 3.0-V power supply.
(2) VCCPD must be 2.5 V when VCCIO is 2.5, 1.8, 1.5, or 1.2 V. VCCPD must be 3.0 V when VCCIO is 3.0 V.
(3) n = 0, 1, or 2.
(4) VCCA_L/R must be connected to a 3.0-V supply if the clock multiplier unit (CMU) phase-locked loop (PLL), receiver clock data recovery (CDR), or
both, are configured at a base data rate > 4.25 Gbps. For data rates up to 4.25 Gbps, you can connect VCCA_L/R to either 3.0 V or 2.5 V.
(5) VCCH_GXBL/R must be connected to a 1.4-V supply if the transmitter channel data rate is > 6.5 Gbps. For data rates up to 6.5 Gbps, you can connect
VCCH_GXBL/R to either 1.4 V or 1.5 V.
(6) Transceiver power supplies do not have power-on-reset (POR) circuitry. After initial power-up, violating the transceiver power supply operating
conditions could lead to unpredictable link behavior.
DC Characteristics
This section lists the supply current, I/O pin leakage current, on-chip termination
(OCT) accuracy and variation, input pin capacitance, internal weak pull-up and
pull-down resistance, hot socketing, and Schmitt trigger input specifications.
Supply Current
Standby current is the current the device draws after the device is configured with no
inputs or outputs toggling and no activity in the device. Because these currents vary
largely with the resources used, use the Microsoft Excel-based Early Power Estimator
(EPE) to get supply current estimates for your design.
f For more information about power estimation tools, refer to the PowerPlay Early Power
Estimator User Guide and the PowerPlay Power Analysis chapter.

Schmitt Trigger Input
The Arria II GX device supports 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 rates.

Power Consumption for the Arria II Device Family
Altera offers two ways to estimate power for a design:
■
Using the Microsoft Excel-based Early Power Estimator
■
Using the Quartus® II PowerPlay Power Analyzer feature
The interactive Microsoft Excel-based Early Power Estimator is typically used prior to
designing the FPGA in order 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 which, when combined with detailed circuit models, can yield very
accurate power estimates.
f For more information about power estimation tools, refer to the PowerPlay Early Power
Estimator User Guide and the PowerPlay Power Analysis chapter in volume 3 of the
Quartus II Handbook.

Minimum is 2 parallel clock cycles
Notes to Table 1–34:
(1) For AC-coupled links, the on-chip biasing circuit is switched off before and during configuration. Ensure that input specifications are not violated during this period.
(2) The rise/fall time is specified from 20% to 80%.
(3) To calculate the REFCLK rms phase jitter requirement at reference clock frequencies other than 100 MHz, use the following formula:
REFCLK rms phase jitter at f (MHz) = REFCLK rms phase jitter at 100 MHz * 100/f.
(4) 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. For more information, refer to AN 558: Implementing Dynamic Reconfiguration in Arria II Devices.
Chapter 1: Device Datasheet for Arria II Devices
Switching Characteristics
July 2012
Table 1–34. Transceiver Specifications for Arria II GX Devices (Note 1) (Part 7 of 7)
(5) If your design uses more than one dynamic reconfiguration controller instances (altgx_reconfig) to control the transceiver channels (altgx) physically located on the same side of the device, and if
you use different reconfig_clk sources for these altgx_reconfig instances, the delta time between any two of these reconfig_clk sources becoming stable must not exceed the maximum
specification listed.
(6) The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.
(7) You must use the 1.1-V RX VICM setting if the input serial data standard is LVDS and the link is DC-coupled.
(8) The rate matcher supports only up to ±300 parts per million (ppm).
(9) Time taken to rx_pll_locked goes high from rx_analogreset de-assertion. Refer to Figure 1–1.
(10) The time in which the CDR must be kept in lock-to-reference mode after rx_pll_locked goes high and before rx_locktodata is asserted in manual mode. Refer to Figure 1–1.
(12) The time taken to recover valid data after the rx_freqlocked signal goes high in automatic mode. Refer to Figure 1–2.

Notes to Table 1–35:
(1) The 3x speed grade is the fastest speed grade offered in the following Arria II GZ devices: EP2AGZ225, EP2AGZ300, and EP2AGZ350.
(2) The rise and fall time transition is specified from 20% to 80%.
(3) To calculate the REFCLK rms phase jitter requirement at reference clock frequencies other than 100 MHz, use the following formula:
REFCLK rms phase jitter at f (MHz) = REFCLK rms phase jitter at 100 MHz * 100/f.
(4) 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.
(5) If your design uses more than one dynamic reconfiguration controller (altgx_reconfig) instances to control the transceiver (altgx)
channels physically located on the same side of the device AND if you use different reconfig_clk sources for these altgx_reconfig
instances, the delta time between any two of these reconfig_clk sources becoming stable must not exceed the maximum specification listed.
(6) The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.
(7) You must use the 1.1-V RX VICM setting if the input serial data standard is LVDS.
(8) The differential eye opening specification at the receiver input pins assumes that Receiver Equalization is disabled. If you enable Receiver
Equalization, the receiver circuitry can tolerate a lower minimum eye opening, depending on the equalization level. Use H-Spice simulation to
derive the minimum eye opening requirement with Receiver Equalization enabled.
(9) The rate matcher supports only up to ± 300 ppm.
(10) Time taken to rx_pll_locked goes high from rx_analogreset de-assertion. Refer to Figure 1–1 on page 1–33.
(11) Time for which the CDR must be kept in lock-to-reference mode after rx_pll_locked goes high and before rx_locktodata is asserted in
manual mode. Refer to Figure 1–1 on page 1–33.
(12) Time taken to recover valid data after the rx_locktodata signal is asserted in manual mode. Refer to Figure 1–1 on page 1–33.
(13) Time taken to recover valid data after the rx_freqlocked signal goes high in automatic mode. Refer to Figure 1–2 on page 1–33.
(14) A GPLL may be required to meet the PMA-FPGA fabric interface timing above certain data rates. For more information, refer to the Transceiver
Clocking for Arria II Devices chapter.
(15) The Quartus II software automatically selects the appropriate slew rate depending on the configured data rate or functional mode.

Notes to Table 1–44:
(1) fIN is limited by the I/O fMAX.
(2) 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.
(3) A high-input jitter directly affects the PLL output jitter. To have low PLL output clock jitter, you must provide a clean-clock source, which is
less than 200 ps.
(4) FREF is fIN/N when N = 1.
(5) This specification is limited by the lower of the two: I/O fMAX or fOUT of the PLL.
(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. The external memory interface clock output jitter specifications use a
different measurement method and are available in Table 1–62 on page 1–70.
(7) The cascaded PLL specification is only applicable with the following condition:
a. Upstream PLL: 0.59 Mhz Upstream PLL BW < 1 MHz
b. Downstream PLL: Downstream PLL BW > 2 MHz
Table 1–45 lists the PLL specifications for Arria II GZ devices when operating in both
the commercial junction temperature range (0° to 85°C) and the industrial junction
temperature range (-40° to 100°C).

Notes to Table 1–45:
(1) This specification 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.
(2) This specification is limited by the lower of the two: I/O FMAX or FOUT of the PLL.
(3) 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 120 ps.
(4) FREF is fIN/N when N = 1.
(5) Peak-to-peak jitter with a probability level of 10–12 (14 sigma, 99.99999999974404% confidence level). The output jitter specification applies

(7) High bandwidth PLL settings are not supported in external feedback mode.
(8) External memory interface clock output jitter specifications use a different measurement method, which is available in Table 1–63 on
page 1–71.

Notes to Table 1–48:
(1) To achieve the maximum memory block performance, use a memory block clock that comes through global clock routing from an on-chip PLL
set to 50% output duty cycle. Use the Quartus II software to report timing for this and other memory block clocking schemes.
(2) When you use the error detection CRC feature, there is no degradation in FMAX.

Periphery Performance
This section describes periphery performance, including high-speed I/O, external
memory interface, and IOE programmable delay.
I/O performance supports several system interfaces, for example the high-speed I/O
interface, external memory interface, and the PCI/PCI-X bus interface. I/O using
SSTL-18 Class I termination standard can achieve up to the stated DDR2 SDRAM
interfacing speed with typical DDR2 SDRAM memory interface setup. I/O using
general purpose I/O (GPIO) standards such as 3.0, 2.5, 1.8, or 1.5 LVTTL/LVCMOS
are capable of typical 200 MHz interfacing frequency with 10pF load.
1
Actual achievable frequency depends on design- and system-specific factors. You
should perform HSPICE/IBIS simulations based on your specific design and system
setup to determine the maximum achievable frequency in your system.
High-Speed I/O Specification

Notes to Table 1–53:
(1) fHSCLK_IN = fHSDR / W. Use W to determine the supported selection of input reference clock frequencies for the desired data rate.
(2) Applicable for interfacing with DPA receivers only. For interfacing with non-DPA receivers, you must calculate the leftover timing margin in the
receiver by performing link timing closure analysis. For Arria II GX transmitter to Arria II GX non-DPA receiver, the maximum supported data
rate is 945 Mbps. For data rates above 840 Mbps, perform PCB trace compensation by adjusting the PCB trace length for LVDS channels to
improve channel-to-channel skews.
(3) The minimum and maximum specification depends on the clock source (for example, PLL and clock pin) and the clock routing resource you
use (global, regional, or local). The I/O differential buffer and input register do not have a minimum toggle rate.
(4) The specification is only applicable under the influence of core noise.
(5) Applicable for true LVDS using dedicated SERDES only.
(6) Dedicated SERDES and DPA features are only available on the right banks.
(7) You must calculate the leftover timing margin in the receiver by performing link timing closure analysis. You must consider the board skew
margin, transmitter channel-to-channel skew, and the receiver sampling margin to determine the leftover timing margin.

Notes to Table 1–54:
(1) When J = 3 to 10, use the SERDES block.
(2) When J = 1 or 2, bypass the SERDES block.
(3) Clock Boost Factor (W) is the ratio between input data rate to the input clock rate.
(4) The minimum specification depends on the clock source (for example, the PLL and clock pin) and the clock routing resource (global, regional,
or local) that you use. The I/O differential buffer and input register do not have a minimum toggle rate.
(5) You must calculate the leftover timing margin in the receiver by performing link timing closure analysis. You must consider the board skew
margin, transmitter channel-to-channel skew, and receiver sampling margin to determine leftover timing margin.
(6) You can estimate the achievable maximum data rate for non-DPA mode by performing link timing closure analysis. You must consider the board
skew margin, transmitter delay margin, and the receiver sampling margin to determine the maximum data rate supported.
(7) This is achieved by using the LVDS and DPA clock network.
(8) If the receiver with DPA enabled and transmitter are using shared PLLs, the minimum data rate is 150 Mbps.
(9) This only applies to DPA and soft-CDR modes.
(10) This only applies to LVDS source synchronous mode.

Notes to Table 1–63:
(1) The memory output clock jitter measurements are for 200 consecutive clock cycles, as specified in the JEDEC DDR2/DDR3 SDRAM standard.
(2) The clock jitter specification applies to memory output clock pins generated using differential signal-splitter and DDIO circuits clocked by a
PLL output routed on a regional or global clock network as specified. Altera recommends using regional clock networks whenever possible.
(3) The memory output clock jitter stated in Table 1–63 is applicable when an input jitter of 30 ps is applied.

I/O Timing

I/O Timing
Altera offers two ways to determine I/O timing:
■
Using the Microsoft Excel-based I/O Timing.
■
Using the Quartus II Timing Analyzer.
The Microsoft 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 an estimate of the timing budget 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 Microsoft Excel-based I/O Timing spreadsheet is downloadable from the
Literature: Arria II Devices web page.

The JEDEC standard for SSTL and HSTL I/O standards define 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 has crossed 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 AC threshold. This
approach is intended to provide predictable receiver timing in the presence of input waveform
ringing:
