Cyclone® IV E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 324 2396160 55856 484-BGA

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.

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.

Cyclone IV E industrial devices I7 are offered with extended operating temperature range.

Cyclone® IV GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 72 552960 14400 169-LBGA

Introduction 

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.

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

Cyclone® II Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC 142 119808 4608 208-BFQFP

Introduction 

Following the immensely successful first-generation Cyclone® device 

family, Altera® Cyclone II FPGAs extend the low-cost FPGA density 

range to 68,416 logic elements (LEs) and provide up to 622 usable I/O 

pins and up to 1.1 Mbits of embedded memory. Cyclone II FPGAs are 

manufactured on 300-mm wafers using TSMC's 90-nm low-k dielectric 

process to ensure rapid availability and low cost. By minimizing silicon 

area, Cyclone II devices can support complex digital systems on a single 

chip at a cost that rivals that of ASICs. Unlike other FPGA vendors who 

compromise power consumption and performance for low-cost, Altera’s 

latest generation of low-cost FPGAs—Cyclone II FPGAs, offer 60% higher 

performance and half the power consumption of competing 90-nm 

FPGAs. The low cost and optimized feature set of Cyclone II FPGAs make 

them ideal solutions for a wide array of automotive, consumer, 

communications, video processing, test and measurement, and other 

end-market solutions. Reference designs, system diagrams, and IP, found 

at www.altera.com, are available to help you rapidly develop complete 

end-market solutions using Cyclone II FPGAs.
