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 4.00 V can only be at 4.00 V for ~15% over the lifetime of the device; for a device lifetime of 10 years, this amounts to 1.5 years.

DC Characteristics

Supply Current and Power Consumption

Altera offers two ways to estimate power for your design—the Excel-based Early Power Estimator (EPE) and the Quartus^® Prime PowerPlay 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 resources you use.

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

²³ Differential LVPECL signal levels must comply to the minimum and maximum peak-to-peak differential input voltage specified in this table.

²⁴ REFCLK performance requires to meet transmitter REFCLK phase noise specification.

²⁵ The maximum peak-to peak differential input voltage of 300 mV is allowed for DC coupled link.

²⁶ For data rate ≤3.2 Gbps, connect V_{CCR_GXBL/R} to either 1.1-V or 1.15-V power supply. For data rate >3.2 Gbps, connect V_{CCR_GXBL/R} to a 1.15-V power supply. For details, refer to the Arria^® V GT, GX, ST, and SX Device Family Pin Connection Guidelines.

²⁷ The transmitter REFCLK phase jitter is 30 ps p-p at bit error rate (BER) 10^-12.

²⁸ To support data rates lower than the minimum specification through oversampling, use the CDR in LTR mode only.

²⁹ The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.

³⁰ The differential eye opening specification at the receiver input pins assumes that you have disabled the Receiver Equalization feature. If you enable the Receiver Equalization feature, the receiver circuitry can tolerate a lower minimum eye opening, depending on the equalization level.

³¹ The AC coupled V_ICM is 650 mV for PCIe mode only.

³² For standard protocol compliance, use AC coupling.

³³ t_LTR is the time required for the receive CDR to lock to the input reference clock frequency after coming out of reset.

³⁴ t_LTD is time required for the receiver CDR to start recovering valid data after the rx_is_lockedtodata signal goes high.

³⁵ 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.

³⁶ 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.

³⁷ The rate match FIFO supports only up to ±300 parts per million (ppm).

³⁸ The Quartus^® Prime software allows AC gain setting = 3 for design with data rate between 611 Mbps and 1.25 Gbps only.

³⁹ This specification is only applicable to channels on one side of the device across two transceiver banks.

⁴⁴ To support data rates lower than the minimum specification through oversampling, use the CDR in LTR mode only.

⁴⁵ The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.

⁴⁶ The differential eye opening specification at the receiver input pins assumes that you have disabled the Receiver Equalization feature. If you enable the Receiver Equalization feature, the receiver circuitry can tolerate a lower minimum eye opening, depending on the equalization level.

⁴⁷ The AC coupled V_ICM is 750 mV for PCIe mode only.

⁴⁸ For standard protocol compliance, use AC coupling.

Transmitter Pre-Emphasis Levels

The following table lists the simulation data on the transmitter pre-emphasis levels in dB for the first post tap under the following conditions:

Low-frequency data pattern—five 1s and five 0s
Data rate—2.5 Gbps

The levels listed are a representation of possible pre-emphasis levels under the specified conditions only and the pre-emphasis levels may change with data pattern and data rate.

Arria^® V devices only support 1st post tap pre-emphasis with the following conditions:

The 1st post tap pre-emphasis settings must satisfy |B| + |C| ≤ 60 where |B| = V_OD setting with termination value, R_TERM = 100 Ω and |C| = 1st post tap pre-emphasis setting.
|B| – |C| > 5 for data rates < 5 Gbps and |B| – |C| > 8.25 for data rates > 5 Gbps.
(V_MAX/V_MIN – 1)% < 600%, where V_MAX = |B| + |C| and V_MIN = |B| – |C|.

Exception for PCIe Gen2 design: V_OD setting = 43 and pre-emphasis setting = 19 are allowed for PCIe Gen2 design with transmit de-emphasis –6dB setting (pipe_txdeemp = 1’b0) using Altera PCIe Hard IP and PIPE IP cores.

For example, when V_OD = 800 mV, the corresponding V_OD value setting is 40. The following conditions show that the 1st post tap pre-emphasis setting = 2 is valid:

|B| + |C| ≤ 60→ 40 + 2 = 42
|B| – |C| > 5→ 40 – 2 = 38
(V_MAX/V_MIN – 1)% < 600%→ (42/38 – 1)% = 10.52%

To predict the pre-emphasis level for your specific data rate and pattern, run simulations using the Arria^® V HSSI HSPICE models.

⁶¹ This specification is limited in the Quartus^® Prime software by the I/O maximum frequency. The maximum I/O frequency is different for each I/O standard.

⁶² The VCO frequency reported by the Quartus^® Prime software 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 f_VCO specification.

⁶³ This specification is limited by the lower of the two: I/O f_MAX or F_OUT of the PLL.

⁶⁴ High bandwidth PLL settings are not supported in external feedback mode.

⁶⁵ 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.

⁶⁶ F_REF is f_IN/N, specification applies when N = 1.

⁶⁷ 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 Memory Output Clock Jitter Specification for Arria^® V Devices table.

⁶⁸ This specification only covered fractional PLL for low bandwidth. The f_VCO for fractional value range 0.05–0.95 must be ≥ 1000 MHz.

⁶⁹ This specification only covered fractional PLL for low bandwidth. The f_VCO for fractional value range 0.20–0.80 must be ≥ 1200 MHz.

⁷⁰ External memory interface clock output jitter specifications use a different measurement method, which are available in Memory Output Clock Jitter Specification for Arria^® V Devices table.

⁷¹ The cascaded PLL specification is only applicable with the following conditions:

Upstream PLL: 0.59 MHz ≤ Upstream PLL BW < 1 MHz
Downstream PLL: Downstream PLL BW > 2 MHz

Memory Block Performance 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 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.

Periphery Performance

This section describes the periphery performance, high-speed I/O, and external memory interface.

Actual achievable frequency 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.

High-Speed I/O Specifications

Table 40. High-Speed I/O Specifications for Arria^® V Devices.
When J = 3 to 10, use the serializer/deserializer (SERDES) block. When J = 1 or 2, bypass the SERDES block.

For LVDS applications, you must use the PLLs in integer PLL mode.

The Arria^® V devices support the following output standards using true LVDS output buffer types on all I/O banks.

True RSDS output standard with data rates of up to 360 Mbps

⁷² Clock boost factor (W) is the ratio between the input data rate and the input clock rate.

⁷³ This applies to DPA and soft-CDR modes only.

⁷⁴ This applies to non-DPA mode only.

⁷⁵ This is achieved by using the LVDS clock network.

⁷⁶ 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.

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 input register do not have a minimum toggle rate.

⁷⁸ The V_CC and V_CCP must be on a separate power layer and a maximum load of 5 pF for chip-to-chip interface.

⁷⁹ 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 simulation is clean.

⁸⁰ 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 the leftover timing margin.

⁸¹ When using True LVDS RX channels for emulated LVDS TX channel, only serialization factors 1 and 2 are supported.

⁸² This applies to default pre-emphasis and V_OD settings only.

⁸³ 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.
