¹ The LVDS I/O values are applicable to all dedicated and dual-function configuration I/Os.

² The maximum current allowed through any LVDS I/O bank pin when the device is not turned on or during power-up/power-down conditions is 10 mA.

³ Total current per LVDS I/O bank must not exceed 100 mA.

⁴ Voltage level must not exceed 1.89 V.

⁵ Applies to all I/O standards and settings supported by LVDS I/O banks, including single-ended and differential I/Os.

⁶ Applies only to LVDS I/O banks. 3 V I/O banks are not covered under this specification and must be implemented as per the power sequencing requirement. For more details, refer to AN 692: Power Sequencing Considerations for Intel^® Cyclone^® 10 GX, Intel^® Arria^® 10, and Intel^® Stratix^® 10 Devices and Power Management in Intel^® Arria^® 10 Devices chapter.

Maximum Allowed Overshoot and Undershoot Voltage

During transitions, input signals may overshoot to the voltage listed in the following table and undershoot to –2.0 V for input currents less than 100 mA and periods shorter than 20 ns.

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 2.70 V for LVDS I/O can only be at 2.70 V for ~4% over the lifetime of the device.

Table 2. Maximum Allowed Overshoot During Transitions for Intel^® Arria^® 10 DevicesThis table lists the maximum allowed input overshoot voltage and the duration of the overshoot voltage as a percentage of device lifetime. The LVDS I/O values are applicable to the `VREFP_ADC` and `VREFN_ADC` I/O pins.
Symbol	Description	Condition (V)		Overshoot Duration as % at T_J = 100°C	Unit
Symbol	Description	LVDS I/O ⁷	3 V I/O	Overshoot Duration as % at T_J = 100°C	Unit
Vi (AC)	AC input voltage	2.50	3.80	100	%
		2.55	3.85	42	%
		2.60	3.90	18	%
		2.65	3.95	9	%
		2.70	4.00	4	%
		> 2.70	> 4.00	No overshoot allowed	%

For an overshoot of 2.5 V, the percentage of high time for the overshoot can be as high as 100% 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.

DC Characteristics

Supply Current and Power Consumption

Intel offers two ways to estimate power for your design—the Excel-based Early Power Estimator (EPE) and the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime Power Analyzer feature.

Use the Excel-based EPE before you start your design to estimate the supply current for your design. The EPE provides a magnitude estimate of the device power because these currents vary greatly with the usage of the resources.

The Intel^® Quartus^® Prime Power Analyzer provides better quality estimates based on the specifics of the design after you complete place-and-route. The Power Analyzer can apply a combination of user-entered, simulation-derived, and estimated signal activities that, when combined with detailed circuit models, yield very accurate power estimates.

⁴³ This specification is for HDMI mode only.

⁴⁴ This specification is for other non-HDMI modes.

⁴⁵ To calculate the REFCLK phase noise requirement at frequencies other than 622 MHz, use the following formula: REFCLK phase noise at f (MHz) = REFCLK phase noise at 622 MHz + 20*log(f/622).

⁴⁶ The maximum data rate depends on speed grade.

⁴⁷ For more information, refer to the PLLs and Clock Networks chapter of the Intel^® Arria^® 10 Transceiver PHY User Guide.

⁴⁸ CML, Differential LVPECL, and LVDS are only used on AC coupled links.

⁴⁹ The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.

⁵⁰ 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.

⁵¹ Intel^® Arria^® 10 devices only support DC coupling when using the Hybrid Memory Cube (HMC) or the Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) specifications.

⁵² t_LTR is the time required for the receive CDR to lock to the input reference clock frequency after coming out of reset.

⁵³ t_LTD is time required for the receiver CDR to start recovering valid data after the rx_is_lockedtodata signal goes high.

⁵⁴ t_{LTD_manual} is the time required for the receiver CDR to start recovering valid data after the rx_is_lockedtodata signal goes high when the CDR is functioning in the manual mode.

⁵⁵ t_{LTR_LTD_manual} is the time the receiver CDR must be kept in lock to reference (LTR) mode after the rx_is_lockedtoref signal goes high when the CDR is functioning in the manual mode.

⁵⁶ High Speed Differential I/O is the dedicated I/O standard for the transmitter in Intel^® Arria^® 10 transceivers.

⁵⁷ The Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software automatically selects the appropriate slew rate depending on the design configurations.

⁵⁸ In QPI mode, if V_CM < 0.17 V, the input Vid must be greater than 100 mV. If V_CM > 0.17 V, the input Vid must be greater than 70 mV.

⁵⁹ SLEW_R1 is the slowest and SLEW_R5 is the fastest. SLEW_R6 and SLEW_R7 are not used.

⁶⁰ refclk is set to 125 MHz during the test.

⁶¹ You can reduce the lane-to-lane skew by increasing the reference clock frequency.

⁶² The middle refclk location provides the lowest lane-to-lane skew.

⁶³ This specification is limited by the I/O maximum frequency. The maximum achievable I/O frequency is different for each I/O standard and is depends on design and system specific factors. Ensure proper timing closure in your design and perform HSPICE/IBIS simulations based on your specific design and system setup to determine the maximum achievable frequency in your system.

⁶⁴ A high input jitter directly affects the PLL output jitter. To have low PLL output clock jitter, you must provide a clean clock source with jitter < 120 ps.

⁶⁵ F_REF is f_IN/N, specification applies when N = 1.

Memory Block Specifications

To achieve the maximum memory block performance, use a memory block clock that comes through global clock routing from an on-chip PLL and set to 50% output duty cycle. Use the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software to report timing for the memory block clocking schemes.

When you use the error detection cyclical redundancy check (CRC) feature, there is no degradation in f_MAX.

⁷¹ –E1S and –E2S speed grades are applicable to both V_CC = 0.9 V and 0.95 V. –E3S speed grade is only applicable to V_CC = 0.9 V.

⁷² Clock Boost Factor (W) is the ratio between the input data rate and the input clock rate.

⁷³ This is achieved by using the PHY clock network.

⁷⁴ Requires package skew compensation with PCB trace length.

⁷⁵ The F_max specification is based on the fast clock used for serial data. The interface F_max is also dependent on the parallel clock domain which is design dependent and requires timing analysis.

⁷⁶ The V_CC and V_CCP must be on a combined power layer and a maximum load of 5 pF for chip-to-chip interface.

⁷⁷ 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 serializer do not have a minimum toggle rate.

⁷⁸ The maximum ideal data rate is the SERDES factor (J) x the PLL maximum output frequency (f_OUT) provided you can close the design timing and the signal integrity meets the interface requirements.

⁷⁹ Not applicable for DIVCLK = 1.

⁸⁰ This applies to default pre-emphasis and V_OD settings only.

⁸¹ 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 receiver sampling margin to determine the maximum data rate supported.

Trace Timing Characteristics

To increase the trace bandwidth, Intel recommends routing the trace interface to the FPGA in the HPS Platform Designer (Standard) component. The FPGA trace interface offers a 32-bit single data rate path that can be converted to double data rate to minimize FPGA I/O usage.

Depending on the trace module that you connect to the HPS trace interface, you may need to include board termination to achieve the maximum sampling speed possible. Refer to your trace module datasheet for termination recommendations.

GPIO Interface

The general-purpose I/O (GPIO) interface has debounce circuitry included to remove signal glitches. The debounce clock frequency ranges from 125 Hz to 32 kHz. The minimum pulse width is one debounce clock cycle and the minimum detectable GPIO pulse width is 62.5 µs (at 32 kHz). Any pulses shorter than two debounce clock cycles are filtered by the GPIO peripheral.

If the external signal is less than one clock cycle, the external signal is filtered. If the external signal is between one and two clock cycles, the external signal may or may not be filtered depending on the phase of the signal. If the external signal is more than two clock cycles, the external signal will not be filtered.

To ensure that the external signal is correctly debounced, set the debounce clock low enough so that by the time two debounce clock periods have passed, the signal has settled.

Configuration Specifications

This section provides configuration specifications and timing for Intel^® Arria^® 10 devices.

POR Specifications

Power-on reset (POR) delay is defined as the delay between the time when all the power supplies monitored by the POR circuitry reach the minimum recommended operating voltage to the time when the nSTATUS is released high and your device is ready to begin configuration.

Table 76. Fast and Standard POR Delay Specification for Intel^® Arria^® 10 Devices
POR Delay	Minimum	Maximum	Unit
Fast	4	12 ¹¹³	ms
Standard	100	300	ms

¹¹³ The maximum pulse width of the fast POR delay is 12 ms, providing enough time for the PCIe* hard IP to initialize after the POR trip.

FPP Configuration Timing

DCLK-to-DATA[] Ratio (r) for FPP Configuration

Fast passive parallel (FPP) configuration requires a different DCLK-to-DATA[] ratio when you turn on encryption or the compression feature.

Depending on the DCLK-to-DATA[] ratio, the host must send a DCLK frequency that is r times the DATA[] rate in byte per second (Bps) or word per second (Wps). For example, in FPP ×16 where the r is 2, the DCLK frequency must be 2 times the DATA[] rate in Wps.

Table 78. DCLK-to-DATA[] Ratio for Intel^® Arria^® 10 DevicesYou cannot turn on encryption and compression at the same time for Intel^® Arria^® 10 devices.
Configuration Scheme	Encryption	Compression	DCLK-to-DATA[] Ratio (r)
FPP (8-bit wide)	Off	Off	1
	On	Off	1

Initialization

Table 84. Initialization Clock Source Option and the Maximum Frequency for Intel^® Arria^® 10 Devices
Initialization Clock Source	Configuration Scheme	Maximum Frequency (MHz)	Number of Clock Cycles for Initialization
Internal Oscillator	AS, PS, and FPP	12.5	600
`CLKUSR` ¹²⁷ ¹²⁸	AS, PS, and FPP	100	600

¹²⁷ To enable CLKUSR as the initialization clock source, in the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software, select Device and Pin Options > General > Device initialization clock source > CLKUSR pin.

¹²⁸ If you use the CLKUSR pin for AS and transceiver calibration simultaneously, the only allowed frequency is 100 MHz.

Configuration Files

There are two types of configuration bit stream formats for different configuration schemes:

PS and FPP—Raw Binary File (.rbf)
AS—Raw Programming Data File (.rpd)

The .rpd file size follows the Intel configuration devices capacity. However, the actual configuration bit stream size for .rpd file is the same as .rbf file.

Table 85. Configuration Bit Stream Sizes for Intel^® Arria^® 10 Devices
Use this table to estimate the file size before design compilation. Different configuration file formats, such as a hexadecimal file (.hex) or tabular text file (.ttf) format, have different file sizes.

For the different types of configuration file and file sizes, refer to the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software. However, for a specific version of the Intel^® Quartus^® Prime software, any design targeted for the same device has the same uncompressed configuration file size.

I/O configuration shift register (IOCSR) is a long shift register that facilitates the device I/O peripheral settings. The IOCSR bit stream is part of the uncompressed configuration bit stream, and it is specifically for the Configuration via Protocol (CvP) feature.

Uncompressed configuration bit stream sizes are subject to change for improvements and optimizations in the configuration algorithm.
