Cyclone 10 LP I/O Vertical Migration

Figure 2. Migration Capability Across Cyclone^® 10 LP Devices.

The arrows indicate the migration paths. The devices included in each vertical migration path are shaded. Devices with lesser I/O resources in the same path have lighter shades.
To achieve full I/O migration across devices in the same migration path, restrict I/O usage to match the device with the lowest I/O count.

Note: To verify the pin migration compatibility, use the Pin Migration View window in the Quartus^® Prime software Pin Planner.

Logic Elements and Logic Array Blocks

The LAB consists of 16 logic elements (LE) and a LAB-wide control block. An LE is the smallest unit of logic in the Cyclone^® 10 LP device architecture. Each LE has four inputs, a four-input look-up table (LUT), a register, and output logic. The four-input LUT is a function generator that can implement any function with four variables.

Embedded Multipliers

Each embedded multiplier block in Cyclone^® 10 LP devices supports one individual 18 × 18-bit multiplier or two individual 9 × 9-bit multipliers. You can cascade the multiplier blocks to form wider or deeper logic structures.

You can control the operation of the embedded multiplier blocks using the following options:

Parameterize the relevant IP cores with the Quartus^® Prime parameter editor
Infer the multipliers directly with VHDL or Verilog HDL

Intel and partners offer popular DSP IPs for Cyclone^® 10 LP devices, including:

Finite impulse response (FIR)
Fast Fourier transform (FFT)
Numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) functions

For a streamlined DSP design flow, the DSP Builder tool integrates the Quartus^® Prime software with MathWorks Simulink and MATLAB design environments.

Embedded Memory Blocks

The embedded memory structure consists of M9K memory blocks columns. Each M9K memory block of a Cyclone^® 10 LP device provides 9 Kb of on-chip memory. You can cascade the memory blocks to form wider or deeper logic structures.

You can configure the M9K memory blocks as RAM, FIFO buffers, or ROM.

Table 4. M9K Operation Modes and Port Widths
Operation Modes	Port Widths
Single port	×1, ×2, ×4, ×8, ×9, ×16, ×18, ×32, and ×36
Simple dual port	×1, ×2, ×4, ×8, ×9, ×16, ×18, ×32, and ×36
True dual port	×1, ×2, ×4, ×8, ×9, ×16, and ×18

Clocking and PLL

Cyclone^® 10 LP devices feature global clock (GCLK) networks, dedicated clock pins, and general purpose PLLs.

Up to 20 GCLK networks that drive throughout the device
Up to 15 dedicated clock pins
Up to four general purpose PLLs with five outputs per PLL

The PLLs provide robust clock management and synthesis for the Cyclone^® 10 LP device. You can dynamically reconfigure the PLLs in user mode to change the clock phase or frequency.

FPGA General Purpose I/O

Cyclone^® 10 LP devices offer highly configurable GPIOs with these features:

Support for over 20 popular single-ended and differential I/O standards.
Programmable bus hold, pull-up resistors, delay, and drive strength.
Programmable slew-rate control to optimize signal integrity.
Calibrated on-chip series termination (R_S OCT) or driver impedance matching (R_S) for single-endd I/O standards.
True and emulated LVDS buffers with LVDS SERDES implemented using logic elements in the device core.
Hot socketing support.

Configuration

Cyclone^® 10 LP devices use SRAM cells to store configuration data. Configuration data is downloaded to the Cyclone^® 10 LP device each time the device powers up.

You can use EPCS or EPCQ (AS x1) flash configuration devices to store configuration data and configure the Cyclone^® 10 LP FPGAs.

Cyclone^® 10 LP devices support 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V, and 3.3 V programming voltages and several configuration schemes.
The single-event upset (SEU) mitigation feature detects cyclic redundancy check (CRC) errors automatically during configuration and optionally during user mode¹.
