1. Cyclone IV Device Datasheet March 2016 CYIV-53001-2.0 CYIV-53001-2.0 This chapter describes the electrical and switching characteristics for Cyclone IV 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 11 Power Consumption on page 116 Switching Characteristics on page 116 I/O Timing on page 137 Glossary on page 137 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. f For more information about the supported speed grades for respective Cyclone IV devices, refer to the Cyclone IV FPGA Device Family Overview chapter. 1 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. 2016 Altera Corporation. All rights reserved.

Cyclone IV Device Handbook, Volume 3 March 2016 Feedback Subscribe12 Chapter 1: Cyclone IV Device Datasheet 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 11 lists the absolute maximum ratings for Cyclone IV devices. c Conditions beyond those listed in Table 11 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. (1) Table 11.

Maximum Allowed Overshoot or Undershoot Voltage During transitions, input signals may overshoot to the voltage shown in Table 12 and undershoot to 2.0 V for a magnitude of currents less than 100 mA and for periods shorter than 20 ns. Table 12 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. Cyclone IV Device Handbook, March 2016 Altera Corporation Volume 3
