Section I–1 Preliminary Revision History Section I–2 Preliminary Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation 1. Introduction CII51001-3.2 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. Low-Cost Embedded Processing Solutions Cyclone II devices support the Nios II embedded processor which allows you to implement custom-fit embedded processing solutions. Cyclone II devices can also expand the peripheral set, memory, I/O, or performance of embedded processors. Single or multiple Nios II embedded processors can be designed into a Cyclone II device to provide additional co-processing power or even replace existing embedded processors in your system. Using Cyclone II and Nios II together allow for low-cost, high-performance embedded processing solutions, which allow you to extend your product's life cycle and improve time to market over standard product solutions. Low-Cost DSP Solutions Use Cyclone II FPGAs alone or as DSP co-processors to improve price-to-performance ratios for digital signal processing (DSP) applications. You can implement high-performance yet low-cost DSP systems with the following Cyclone II features and design support: ■ ■ ■ Altera Corporation February 2008 Up to 150 18 × 18 multipliers Up to 1.1 Mbit of on-chip embedded memory High-speed interfaces to external memory 1–1 Features ■ ■ ■ DSP intellectual property (IP) cores DSP Builder interface to The Mathworks Simulink and Matlab design environment DSP Development Kit, Cyclone II Edition Cyclone II devices include a powerful FPGA feature set optimized for low-cost applications including a wide range of density, memory, embedded multiplier, and packaging options. Cyclone II devices support a wide range of common external memory interfaces and I/O protocols required in low-cost applications.

The Quartus® II software I/O pin counts include four additional pins, TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK, which are not available as general purpose I/O pins. TQFP: thin quad flat pack. PQFP: plastic quad flat pack. Vertical migration is supported between the EP2C5F256 and the EP2C8F256 devices. However, not all of the DQ and DQS groups are supported. Vertical migration between the EP2C5 and the EP2C15 in the F256 package is not supported. The I/O pin counts for the EP2C5, EP2C8, and EP2C15A devices include 8 dedicated clock pins that can be used for data inputs. The I/O counts for the EP2C20, EP2C35, EP2C50, and EP2C70 devices include 16 dedicated clock pins that can be used for data inputs. EP2C8A, EP2C15A, and EP2C20A have a Fast On feature that has a faster POR time. The EP2C15A is only available with the Fast On option. The EP2C5 optionally support the Fast On feature, which is designated with an “A” in the device ordering code. The EP2C5A is only available in the automotive speed grade. Refer to the Cyclone II section in the Automotive-Grade Device Handbook. Cyclone II devices support vertical migration within the same package (for example, you can migrate between the EP2C35, EPC50, and EP2C70 devices in the 672-pin FineLine BGA package). The exception to vertical migration support within the Cyclone II family is noted in Table 1–3. 1–6 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2008 Introduction Vertical migration means that you can migrate to devices whose dedicated pins, configuration pins, and power pins are the same for a given package across device densities.

When migrating from the EP2C20F484 device to the EP2C50F484 device, a total of 39 I/O pins are non-migratable. When migrating from the EP2C35F672 device to the EP2C70F672 device, a total of 56 I/O pins are non-migratable. In addition to the one non-migratable I/O pin, there are 34 DQ pins that are non-migratable. The pinouts of 484 FBGA and 484 UBGA are the same. 1 When moving from one density to a larger density, I/O pins are often lost because of the greater number of power and ground pins required to support the additional logic within the larger device. For I/O pin migration across densities, you must cross reference the available I/O pins using the device pin-outs for all planned densities of a given package type to identify which I/O pins are migratable. To ensure that your board layout supports migratable densities within one package offering, enable the applicable vertical migration path within the Quartus II software (go to Assignments menu, then Device, then click the Migration Devices button). After compilation, check the information messages for a full list of I/O, DQ, LVDS, and other pins that are not available because of the selected migration path. Table 1–3 lists the Cyclone II device package offerings and shows the total number of non-migratable I/O pins when migrating from one density device to a larger density device.

Cyclone II Architecture CII51002-3.1 Functional Description Cyclone® II devices contain a two-dimensional row- and column-based architecture to implement custom logic. Column and row interconnects of varying speeds provide signal interconnects between logic array blocks (LABs), embedded memory blocks, and embedded multipliers. The logic array consists of LABs, with 16 logic elements (LEs) in each LAB. An LE is a small unit of logic providing efficient implementation of user logic functions. LABs are grouped into rows and columns across the device. Cyclone II devices range in density from 4,608 to 68,416 LEs. Cyclone II devices provide a global clock network and up to four phase-locked loops (PLLs). The global clock network consists of up to 16 global clock lines that drive throughout the entire device. The global clock network can provide clocks for all resources within the device, such as input/output elements (IOEs), LEs, embedded multipliers, and embedded memory blocks. The global clock lines can also be used for other high fan-out signals. Cyclone II PLLs provide general-purpose clocking with clock synthesis and phase shifting as well as external outputs for high-speed differential I/O support. M4K memory blocks are true dual-port memory blocks with 4K bits of memory plus parity (4,608 bits). These blocks provide dedicated true dual-port, simple dual-port, or single-port memory up to 36-bits wide at up to 260 MHz. These blocks are arranged in columns across the device in between certain LABs. Cyclone II devices offer between 119 to 1,152 Kbits of embedded memory. Each embedded multiplier block can implement up to either two 9 × 9-bit multipliers, or one 18 × 18-bit multiplier with up to 250-MHz performance. Embedded multipliers are arranged in columns across the device. Each Cyclone II device I/O pin is fed by an IOE located at the ends of LAB rows and columns around the periphery of the device. I/O pins support various single-ended and differential I/O standards, such as the 66- and 33-MHz, 64- and 32-bit PCI standard, PCI-X, and the LVDS I/O standard at a maximum data rate of 805 megabits per second (Mbps) for inputs and 640 Mbps for outputs. Each IOE contains a bidirectional I/O buffer and three registers for registering input, output, and output-enable signals. Dual-purpose DQS, DQ, and DM pins along with delay chains (used to Altera Corporation February 2007 2–1 Logic Elements phase-align double data rate (DDR) signals) provide interface support for external memory devices such as DDR, DDR2, and single data rate (SDR) SDRAM, and QDRII SRAM devices at up to 167 MHz. Figure 2–1 shows a diagram of the Cyclone II EP2C20 device. Figure 2–1.

Logic Elements The smallest unit of logic in the Cyclone II architecture, the LE, is compact and provides advanced features with efficient logic utilization. Each LE features: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ A four-input look-up table (LUT), which is a function generator that can implement any function of four variables A programmable register A carry chain connection A register chain connection The ability to drive all types of interconnects: local, row, column, register chain, and direct link interconnects Support for register packing Support for register feedback 2–2 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Figure 2–2 shows a Cyclone II LE. Figure 2–2.

Each register has data, clock, clock enable, and clear inputs. Signals that use the global clock network, general-purpose I/O pins, or any internal logic can drive the register’s clock and clear control signals. Either general-purpose I/O pins or internal logic can drive the clock enable. For combinational functions, the LUT output bypasses the register and drives directly to the LE outputs. Each LE has three outputs that drive the local, row, and column routing resources. The LUT or register output can drive these three outputs independently. Two LE outputs drive column or row and direct link routing connections and one drives local interconnect resources, allowing the LUT to drive one output while the register drives another output. This feature, register packing, improves device utilization because the device can use the register and the LUT for unrelated functions. When using register packing, the LAB-wide synchronous load control signal is not available. See “LAB Control Signals” on page 2–8 for more information. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–3 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Logic Elements Another special packing mode allows the register output to feed back into the LUT of the same LE so that the register is packed with its own fan-out LUT, providing another mechanism for improved fitting. The LE can also drive out registered and unregistered versions of the LUT output. In addition to the three general routing outputs, the LEs within an LAB have register chain outputs. Register chain outputs allow registers within the same LAB to cascade together. The register chain output allows an LAB to use LUTs for a single combinational function and the registers to be used for an unrelated shift register implementation. These resources speed up connections between LABs while saving local interconnect resources. See “MultiTrack Interconnect” on page 2–10 for more information on register chain connections. LE Operating Modes The Cyclone II LE operates in one of the following modes: ■ ■ Normal mode Arithmetic mode Each mode uses LE resources differently. In each mode, six available inputs to the LE—the four data inputs from the LAB local interconnect, the LAB carry-in from the previous carry-chain LAB, and the register chain connection—are directed to different destinations to implement the desired logic function. LAB-wide signals provide clock, asynchronous clear, synchronous clear, synchronous load, and clock enable control for the register. These LAB-wide signals are available in all LE modes. The Quartus® II software, in conjunction with parameterized functions such as library of parameterized modules (LPM) functions, automatically chooses the appropriate mode for common functions such as counters, adders, subtractors, and arithmetic functions. If required, you can also create special-purpose functions that specify which LE operating mode to use for optimal performance. Normal Mode The normal mode is suitable for general logic applications and combinational functions. In normal mode, four data inputs from the LAB local interconnect are inputs to a four-input LUT (see Figure 2–3). The Quartus II Compiler automatically selects the carry-in or the data3 signal as one of the inputs to the LUT. LEs in normal mode support packed registers and register feedback. 2–4 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Figure 2–3.

An LE in arithmetic mode implements a 2-bit full adder and basic carry chain (see Figure 2–4). LEs in arithmetic mode can drive out registered and unregistered versions of the LUT output. Register feedback and register packing are supported when LEs are used in arithmetic mode. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–5 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Logic Elements Figure 2–4.

Parameterized functions such as LPM functions automatically take advantage of carry chains for the appropriate functions. The Quartus II Compiler creates carry chains longer than 16 LEs by automatically linking LABs in the same column. For enhanced fitting, a long carry chain runs vertically, which allows fast horizontal connections to M4K memory blocks or embedded multipliers through direct link interconnects. For example, if a design has a long carry chain in a LAB column next to a column of M4K memory blocks, any LE output can feed an adjacent M4K memory block through the direct link interconnect. Whereas if the carry chains ran horizontally, any LAB not next to the column of M4K memory blocks would use other row or column interconnects to drive a M4K memory block. A carry chain continues as far as a full column. 2–6 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Logic Array Blocks Each LAB consists of the following: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 16 LEs LAB control signals LE carry chains Register chains Local interconnect The local interconnect transfers signals between LEs in the same LAB. Register chain connections transfer the output of one LE’s register to the adjacent LE’s register within an LAB. The Quartus II Compiler places associated logic within an LAB or adjacent LABs, allowing the use of local, and register chain connections for performance and area efficiency. Figure 2–5 shows the Cyclone II LAB. Figure 2–5.

The LAB local interconnect is driven by column and row interconnects and LE outputs within the same LAB. Neighboring LABs, PLLs, M4K RAM blocks, and embedded multipliers from the left and right can also drive an LAB’s local interconnect through the direct link connection. The direct link connection feature minimizes the use of row and column interconnects, providing higher performance and flexibility. Each LE can drive 48 LEs through fast local and direct link interconnects. Figure 2–6 shows the direct link connection. Figure 2–6. Direct Link Connection Direct link interconnect from right LAB, M4K memory block, embedded multiplier, PLL, or IOE output Direct link interconnect from left LAB, M4K memory block, embedded multiplier, PLL, or IOE output Direct link interconnect to right Direct link interconnect to left Local Interconnect LAB LAB Control Signals Each LAB contains dedicated logic for driving control signals to its LEs. The control signals include: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Two clocks Two clock enables Two asynchronous clears One synchronous clear One synchronous load 2–8 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture This gives a maximum of seven control signals at a time. When using the LAB-wide synchronous load, the clkena of labclk1 is not available. Additionally, register packing and synchronous load cannot be used simultaneously. Each LAB can have up to four non-global control signals. Additional LAB control signals can be used as long as they are global signals. Synchronous clear and load signals are useful for implementing counters and other functions. The synchronous clear and synchronous load signals are LAB-wide signals that affect all registers in the LAB. Each LAB can use two clocks and two clock enable signals. Each LAB’s clock and clock enable signals are linked. For example, any LE in a particular LAB using the labclk1 signal also uses labclkena1. If the LAB uses both the rising and falling edges of a clock, it also uses both LAB-wide clock signals. De-asserting the clock enable signal turns off the LAB-wide clock. The LAB row clocks [5..0] and LAB local interconnect generate the LABwide control signals. The MultiTrack™ interconnect’s inherent low skew allows clock and control signal distribution in addition to data. Figure 2–7 shows the LAB control signal generation circuit. Figure 2–7. LAB-Wide Control Signals Dedicated LAB Row Clocks 6 Local Interconnect Local Interconnect Local Interconnect Local Interconnect labclkena2 labclkena1 labclk1 labclk2 synclr labclr1 syncload labclr2 LAB-wide signals control the logic for the register’s clear signal. The LE directly supports an asynchronous clear function. Each LAB supports up to two asynchronous clear signals (labclr1 and labclr2). Altera Corporation February 2007 2–9 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 MultiTrack Interconnect A LAB-wide asynchronous load signal to control the logic for the register’s preset signal is not available. The register preset is achieved by using a NOT gate push-back technique. Cyclone II devices can only support either a preset or asynchronous clear signal. In addition to the clear port, Cyclone II devices provide a chip-wide reset pin (DEV_CLRn) that resets all registers in the device. An option set before compilation in the Quartus II software controls this pin. This chip-wide reset overrides all other control signals. MultiTrack Interconnect In the Cyclone II architecture, connections between LEs, M4K memory blocks, embedded multipliers, and device I/O pins are provided by the MultiTrack interconnect structure with DirectDrive™ technology. The MultiTrack interconnect consists of continuous, performance-optimized routing lines of different speeds used for inter- and intra-design block connectivity. The Quartus II Compiler automatically places critical paths on faster interconnects to improve design performance. DirectDrive technology is a deterministic routing technology that ensures identical routing resource usage for any function regardless of placement within the device. The MultiTrack interconnect and DirectDrive technology simplify the integration stage of block-based designing by eliminating the re-optimization cycles that typically follow design changes and additions. The MultiTrack interconnect consists of row (direct link, R4, and R24) and column (register chain, C4, and C16) interconnects that span fixed distances. A routing structure with fixed-length resources for all devices allows predictable and repeatable performance when migrating through different device densities. Row Interconnects Dedicated row interconnects route signals to and from LABs, PLLs, M4K memory blocks, and embedded multipliers within the same row. These row resources include: ■ ■ ■ Direct link interconnects between LABs and adjacent blocks R4 interconnects traversing four blocks to the right or left R24 interconnects for high-speed access across the length of the device 2–10 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture The direct link interconnect allows an LAB, M4K memory block, or embedded multiplier block to drive into the local interconnect of its left and right neighbors. Only one side of a PLL block interfaces with direct link and row interconnects. The direct link interconnect provides fast communication between adjacent LABs and/or blocks without using row interconnect resources. The R4 interconnects span four LABs, three LABs and one M4K memory block, or three LABs and one embedded multiplier to the right or left of a source LAB. These resources are used for fast row connections in a fourLAB region. Every LAB has its own set of R4 interconnects to drive either left or right. Figure 2–8 shows R4 interconnect connections from an LAB. R4 interconnects can drive and be driven by LABs, M4K memory blocks, embedded multipliers, PLLs, and row IOEs. For LAB interfacing, a primary LAB or LAB neighbor (see Figure 2–8) can drive a given R4 interconnect. For R4 interconnects that drive to the right, the primary LAB and right neighbor can drive on to the interconnect. For R4 interconnects that drive to the left, the primary LAB and its left neighbor can drive on to the interconnect. R4 interconnects can drive other R4 interconnects to extend the range of LABs they can drive. Additionally, R4 interconnects can drive R24 interconnects, C4, and C16 interconnects for connections from one row to another. Figure 2–8.

This pattern is repeated for every LAB in the LAB row. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–11 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 MultiTrack Interconnect R24 row interconnects span 24 LABs and provide the fastest resource for long row connections between non-adjacent LABs, M4K memory blocks, dedicated multipliers, and row IOEs. R24 row interconnects drive to other row or column interconnects at every fourth LAB. R24 row interconnects drive LAB local interconnects via R4 and C4 interconnects and do not drive directly to LAB local interconnects. R24 interconnects can drive R24, R4, C16, and C4 interconnects. Column Interconnects The column interconnect operates similar to the row interconnect. Each column of LABs is served by a dedicated column interconnect, which vertically routes signals to and from LABs, M4K memory blocks, embedded multipliers, and row and column IOEs. These column resources include: ■ ■ ■ Register chain interconnects within an LAB C4 interconnects traversing a distance of four blocks in an up and down direction C16 interconnects for high-speed vertical routing through the device Cyclone II devices include an enhanced interconnect structure within LABs for routing LE output to LE input connections faster using register chain connections. The register chain connection allows the register output of one LE to connect directly to the register input of the next LE in the LAB for fast shift registers. The Quartus II Compiler automatically takes advantage of these resources to improve utilization and performance. Figure 2–9 shows the register chain interconnects. 2–12 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Figure 2–9.

Every LAB has its own set of C4 interconnects to drive either up or down. Figure 2–10 shows the C4 interconnect connections from an LAB in a column. The C4 interconnects can drive and be driven by all types of architecture blocks, including PLLs, M4K memory blocks, embedded multiplier blocks, and column and row IOEs. For LAB interconnection, a primary LAB or its LAB neighbor (see Figure 2–10) can drive a given C4 interconnect. C4 interconnects can drive each other to extend their range as well as drive row interconnects for column-to-column connections.

C16 column interconnects drive to other row and column interconnects at every fourth LAB. C16 column interconnects drive LAB local interconnects via C4 and R4 interconnects and do not drive LAB local interconnects directly. C16 interconnects can drive R24, R4, C16, and C4 interconnects. Device Routing All embedded blocks communicate with the logic array similar to LAB-to-LAB interfaces. Each block (for example, M4K memory, embedded multiplier, or PLL) connects to row and column interconnects and has local interconnect regions driven by row and column interconnects. These blocks also have direct link interconnects for fast connections to and from a neighboring LAB. Table 2–1 shows the Cyclone II device’s routing scheme. Table 2–1.

Table 2–2 lists how many PLLs, CLK[] pins, DPCLK[] pins, and global clock networks are available in each Cyclone II device. CLK[] pins are dedicated clock pins and DPCLK[] pins are dual-purpose clock pins. Table 2–2.

Only one of the corner CDPCLK pins in each corner can feed the clock control block at a time. The other CDPCLK pins can be used as general-purpose I/O pins. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–19 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Global Clock Network & Phase-Locked Loops Dedicated Clock Pins Larger Cyclone II devices (EP2C15 and larger devices) have 16 dedicated clock pins (CLK[15..0], four pins on each side of the device). Smaller Cyclone II devices (EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices) have eight dedicated clock pins (CLK[7..0], four pins on left and right sides of the device). These CLK pins drive the global clock network (GCLK), as shown in Figures 2–11 and 2–12. If the dedicated clock pins are not used to feed the global clock networks, they can be used as general-purpose input pins to feed the logic array using the MultiTrack interconnect. However, if they are used as generalpurpose input pins, they do not have support for an I/O register and must use LE-based registers in place of an I/O register. Dual-Purpose Clock Pins Cyclone II devices have either 20 dual-purpose clock pins, DPCLK[19..0] or 8 dual-purpose clock pins, DPCLK[7..0]. In the larger Cyclone II devices (EP2C15 devices and higher), there are 20 DPCLK pins; four on the left and right sides and six on the top and bottom of the device. The corner CDPCLK pins are first multiplexed before they drive into the clock control block. Since the signals pass through a multiplexer before feeding the clock control block, these signals incur more delay to the clock control block than other DPCLK pins that directly feed the clock control block. In the smaller Cyclone II devices (EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices), there are eight DPCLK pins; two on each side of the device (see Figures 2–11 and 2–12). A programmable delay chain is available from the DPCLK pin to its fanout destinations. To set the propagation delay from the DPCLK pin to its fan-out destinations, use the Input Delay from Dual-Purpose Clock Pin to Fan-Out Destinations assignment in the Quartus II software. These dual-purpose pins can connect to the global clock network for high-fanout control signals such as clocks, asynchronous clears, presets, and clock enables, or protocol control signals such as TRDY and IRDY for PCI, or DQS signals for external memory interfaces. 2–20 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Global Clock Network The 16 or 8 global clock networks drive throughout the entire device. Dedicated clock pins (CLK[]), PLL outputs, the logic array, and dual-purpose clock (DPCLK[]) pins can also drive the global clock network. The global clock network can provide clocks for all resources within the device, such as IOEs, LEs, memory blocks, and embedded multipliers. The global clock lines can also be used for control signals, such as clock enables and synchronous or asynchronous clears fed from the external pin, or DQS signals for DDR SDRAM or QDRII SRAM interfaces. Internal logic can also drive the global clock network for internally generated global clocks and asynchronous clears, clock enables, or other control signals with large fan-out. Clock Control Block There is a clock control block for each global clock network available in Cyclone II devices. The clock control blocks are arranged on the device periphery and there are a maximum of 16 clock control blocks available per Cyclone II device. The larger Cyclone II devices (EP2C15 devices and larger) have 16 clock control blocks, four on each side of the device. The smaller Cyclone II devices (EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices) have eight clock control blocks, four on the left and right sides of the device. The control block has these functions: ■ ■ Dynamic global clock network clock source selection Dynamic enable/disable of the global clock network In Cyclone II devices, the dedicated CLK[] pins, PLL counter outputs, DPCLK[] pins, and internal logic can all feed the clock control block. The output from the clock control block in turn feeds the corresponding global clock network. The following sources can be inputs to a given clock control block: ■ ■ ■ ■ Altera Corporation February 2007 Four clock pins on the same side as the clock control block Three PLL clock outputs from a PLL Four DPCLK pins (including CDPCLK pins) on the same side as the clock control block Four internally-generated signals 2–21 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Global Clock Network & Phase-Locked Loops Of the sources listed, only two clock pins, two PLL clock outputs, one DPCLK pin, and one internally-generated signal are chosen to drive into a clock control block. Figure 2–13 shows a more detailed diagram of the clock control block. Out of these six inputs, the two clock input pins and two PLL outputs can be dynamic selected to feed a global clock network. The clock control block supports static selection of DPCLK and the signal from internal logic. Figure 2–13.

The output of the multiplexer is the input reference clock (fIN) for the PLL. The CLKSELECT[1..0] signals are fed by internal logic and can be used to dynamically select the clock source for the global clock network when the device is in user mode. The static clock select signals are set in the configuration file and cannot be dynamically controlled when the device is in user mode. Internal logic can be used to enabled or disabled the global clock network in user mode. 2–22 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Global Clock Network Distribution Cyclone II devices contains 16 global clock networks. The device uses multiplexers with these clocks to form six-bit buses to drive column IOE clocks, LAB row clocks, or row IOE clocks (see Figure 2–14). Another multiplexer at the LAB level selects two of the six LAB row clocks to feed the LE registers within the LAB. Figure 2–14. Global Clock Network Multiplexers Column I/O Region IO_CLK [5..0] Global Clock Network Clock [15 or 7..0] LAB Row Clock LABCLK[5..0] Row I/O Region IO_CLK [5..0] LAB row clocks can feed LEs, M4K memory blocks, and embedded multipliers. The LAB row clocks also extend to the row I/O clock regions. IOE clocks are associated with row or column block regions. Only six global clock resources feed to these row and column regions. Figure 2–15 shows the I/O clock regions. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–23 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Global Clock Network & Phase-Locked Loops Figure 2–15.

Table 2–4. Cyclone II PLL Features Feature Description Clock multiplication and division m / (n × post-scale counter) m and post-scale counter values (C0 to C2) range from 1 to 32. n ranges from 1 to 4. Phase shift Cyclone II PLLs have an advanced clock shift capability that enables programmable phase shifts in increments of at least 45°. The finest resolution of phase shifting is determined by the voltage control oscillator (VCO) period divided by 8 (for example, 1/1000 MHz/8 = down to 125-ps increments). Programmable duty cycle The programmable duty cycle allows PLLs to generate clock outputs with a variable duty cycle. This feature is supported on each PLL post-scale counter (C0-C2). Number of internal clock outputs The Cyclone II PLL has three outputs which can drive the global clock network. One of these outputs (C2) can also drive a dedicated PLL_OUT pin (single ended or differential). Number of external clock outputs The C2 output drives a dedicated PLL_OUT pin. If the C2 output is not used to drive an external clock output, it can be used to drive the internal global clock network. The C2 output can concurrently drive the external clock output and internal global clock network. Manual clock switchover The Cyclone II PLLs support manual switchover of the reference clock through internal logic. This enables you to switch between two reference input clocks during user mode for applications that may require clock redundancy or support for clocks with two different frequencies. Gated lock signal The lock output indicates that there is a stable clock output signal in phase with the reference clock. Cyclone II PLLs include a programmable counter that holds the lock signal low for a user-selected number of input clock transitions, allowing the PLL to lock before enabling the locked signal. Either a gated locked signal or an ungated locked signal from the locked port can drive internal logic or an output pin. Clock feedback modes In zero delay buffer mode, the external clock output pin is phase-aligned with the clock input pin for zero delay. In normal mode, the PLL compensates for the internal global clock network delay from the input clock pin to the clock port of the IOE output registers or registers in the logic array. In no compensation mode, the PLL does not compensate for any clock networks. Control signals The pllenable signal enables and disables the PLLs. The areset signal resets/resynchronizes the inputs for each PLL. The pfdena signal controls the phase frequency detector (PFD) output with a programmable gate. 2–26 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Figure 2–16 shows a block diagram of the Cyclone II PLL.

If you are using a differential I/O standard, then two CLK pins are used. LVDS input is supported via the secondary function of the dedicated CLK pins. For example, the CLK0 pin’s secondary function is LVDSCLK1p and the CLK1 pin’s secondary function is LVDSCLK1n. If a differential I/O standard is assigned to the PLL clock input pin, the corresponding CLK(n) pin is also completely used. The Figure 2–16 shows the possible clock input connections (CLK0/CLK1) to PLL1. This counter output is shared between a dedicated external clock output I/O and the global clock network. f Embedded Memory Altera Corporation February 2007 For more information on Cyclone II PLLs, see the PLLs in the Cyclone II Devices chapter in Volume 1 of the Cyclone II Device Handbook. The Cyclone II embedded memory consists of columns of M4K memory blocks. The M4K memory blocks include input registers that synchronize writes and output registers to pipeline designs and improve system performance. The output registers can be bypassed, but input registers cannot. 2–27 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Embedded Memory Each M4K block can implement various types of memory with or without parity, including true dual-port, simple dual-port, and single-port RAM, ROM, and first-in first-out (FIFO) buffers. The M4K blocks support the following features: ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ 4,608 RAM bits 250-MHz performance True dual-port memory Simple dual-port memory Single-port memory Byte enable Parity bits Shift register FIFO buffer ROM Various clock modes Address clock enable 1 Violating the setup or hold time on the memory block address registers could corrupt memory contents. This applies to both read and write operations. Table 2–5 shows the capacity and distribution of the M4K memory blocks in each Cyclone II device. Table 2–5.

The parity bit, along with internal user logic, can implement parity checking for error detection to ensure data integrity. Byte enable M4K blocks support byte writes when the write port has a data width of 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 16, 18, 32, or 36 bits. The byte enables allow the input data to be masked so the device can write to specific bytes. The unwritten bytes retain the previous written value. Packed mode Two single-port memory blocks can be packed into a single M4K block if each of the two independent block sizes are equal to or less than half of the M4K block size, and each of the single-port memory blocks is configured in single-clock mode. Address clock enable M4K blocks support address clock enable, which is used to hold the previous address value for as long as the signal is enabled. This feature is useful in handling misses in cache applications. Memory initialization file (.mif) When configured as RAM or ROM, you can use an initialization file to pre-load the memory contents. Power-up condition Outputs cleared Register clears Output registers only Same-port read-during-write New data available at positive clock edge Mixed-port read-during-write Old data available at positive clock edge Note to Table 2–6: (1) Maximum performance information is preliminary until device characterization. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–29 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Embedded Memory Memory Modes Table 2–7 summarizes the different memory modes supported by the M4K memory blocks. Table 2–7. M4K Memory Modes Memory Mode Description Single-port memory M4K blocks support single-port mode, used when simultaneous reads and writes are not required. Single-port memory supports non-simultaneous reads and writes. Simple dual-port memory Simple dual-port memory supports a simultaneous read and write. Simple dual-port with mixed width Simple dual-port memory mode with different read and write port widths. True dual-port memory True dual-port mode supports any combination of two-port operations: two reads, two writes, or one read and one write at two different clock frequencies. True dual-port with mixed width True dual-port mode with different read and write port widths. Embedded shift register M4K memory blocks are used to implement shift registers. Data is written into each address location at the falling edge of the clock and read from the address at the rising edge of the clock. ROM The M4K memory blocks support ROM mode. A MIF initializes the ROM contents of these blocks. FIFO buffers A single clock or dual clock FIFO may be implemented in the M4K blocks. Simultaneous read and write from an empty FIFO buffer is not supported. 1 Embedded Memory can be inferred in your HDL code or directly instantiated in the Quartus II software using the MegaWizard® Plug-in Manager Memory Compiler feature. 2–30 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Clock Modes Table 2–8 summarizes the different clock modes supported by the M4K memory. Table 2–8. M4K Clock Modes Clock Mode Description Independent In this mode, a separate clock is available for each port (ports A and B). Clock A controls all registers on the port A side, while clock B controls all registers on the port B side. Input/output On each of the two ports, A or B, one clock controls all registers for inputs into the memory block: data input, wren, and address. The other clock controls the block’s data output registers. Read/write Up to two clocks are available in this mode. The write clock controls the block’s data inputs, wraddress, and wren. The read clock controls the data output, rdaddress, and rden. Single In this mode, a single clock, together with clock enable, is used to control all registers of the memory block. Asynchronous clear signals for the registers are not supported. Table 2–9 shows which clock modes are supported by all M4K blocks when configured in the different memory modes. Table 2–9.

Up to 16 direct link input connections to the M4K block are possible from the left adjacent LAB and another 16 possible from the right adjacent LAB.

You can use the embedded multiplier in one of two basic operational modes, depending on the application needs: ■ ■ One 18-bit multiplier Up to two independent 9-bit multipliers 2–32 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Embedded multipliers can operate at up to 250 MHz (for the fastest speed grade) for 18 × 18 and 9 × 9 multiplications when using both input and output registers. Each Cyclone II device has one to three columns of embedded multipliers that efficiently implement multiplication functions. An embedded multiplier spans the height of one LAB row. Table 2–10 shows the number of embedded multipliers in each Cyclone II device and the multipliers that can be implemented. Table 2–10.

Each multiplier operand can be a unique signed or unsigned number. Two signals, signa and signb, control the representation of each operand respectively. A logic 1 value on the signa signal indicates that data A is a signed number while a logic 0 value indicates an unsigned number. Table 2–11 shows the sign of the multiplication result for the various operand sign representations. The result of the multiplication is signed if any one of the operands is a signed value. Table 2–11. Multiplier Sign Representation Data A (signa Value) Data B (signb Value) Result Unsigned Unsigned Unsigned Unsigned Signed Signed Signed Unsigned Signed Signed Signed Signed 2–34 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture There is only one signa and one signb signal for each dedicated multiplier. Therefore, all of the data A inputs feeding the same dedicated multiplier must have the same sign representation. Similarly, all of the data B inputs feeding the same dedicated multiplier must have the same sign representation. The signa and signb signals can be changed dynamically to modify the sign representation of the input operands at run time. The multiplier offers full precision regardless of the sign representation and can be registered using dedicated registers located at the input register stage. Multiplier Modes Table 2–12 summarizes the different modes that the embedded multipliers can operate in. Table 2–12. Embedded Multiplier Modes Multiplier Mode Altera Corporation February 2007 Description 18-bit Multiplier An embedded multiplier can be configured to support a single 18 × 18 multiplier for operand widths up to 18 bits. All 18-bit multiplier inputs and results can be registered independently. The multiplier operands can accept signed integers, unsigned integers, or a combination of both. 9-bit Multiplier An embedded multiplier can be configured to support two 9 × 9 independent multipliers for operand widths up to 9-bits. Both 9-bit multiplier inputs and results can be registered independently. The multiplier operands can accept signed integers, unsigned integers or a combination of both. There is only one signa signal to control the sign representation of both data A inputs and one signb signal to control the sign representation of both data B inputs of the 9-bit multipliers within the same dedicated multiplier. 2–35 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Embedded Multipliers Embedded Multiplier Routing Interface The R4, C4, and direct link interconnects from adjacent LABs drive the embedded multiplier row interface interconnect. The embedded multipliers can communicate with LABs on either the left or right side through these row resources or with LAB columns on either the right or left with the column resources. Up to 16 direct link input connections to the embedded multiplier are possible from the left adjacent LABs and another 16 possible from the right adjacent LAB. Embedded multiplier outputs can also connect to left and right LABs through 18 direct link interconnects each. Figure 2–19 shows the embedded multiplier to logic array interface. Figure 2–19.

The same clk, clkena, and aclr signals feed all registers within a single embedded multiplier. f I/O Structure & Features For more information on Cyclone II embedded multipliers, see the Embedded Multipliers in Cyclone II Devices chapter.

Figure 2–20 shows the Cyclone II IOE structure. The IOE contains one input register, one output register, and one output enable register. You can use the input registers for fast setup times and output registers for fast clock-to-output times. Additionally, you can use the output enable (OE) register for fast clock-to-output enable timing. The Quartus II software automatically duplicates a single OE register that controls multiple output or bidirectional pins. You can use IOEs as input, output, or bidirectional pins.

Cyclone II IOE Structure Logic Array OE Register OE Output Register Output Input (1) Input Register Note to Figure 2–20: (1) There are two paths available for combinational or registered inputs to the logic array. Each path contains a unique programmable delay chain. The IOEs are located in I/O blocks around the periphery of the Cyclone II device. There are up to five IOEs per row I/O block and up to four IOEs per column I/O block (column I/O blocks span two columns). The row I/O blocks drive row, column (only C4 interconnects), or direct link interconnects. The column I/O blocks drive column interconnects. Figure 2–21 shows how a row I/O block connects to the logic array. Figure 2–22 shows how a column I/O block connects to the logic array. 2–38 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Figure 2–21.

The logic array drives the control and data signals, providing a flexible routing resource. The row or column IOE clocks, io_clk[5..0], provide a dedicated routing resource for low-skew, high-speed clocks. The global clock network generates the IOE clocks that feed the row or column I/O regions (see “Global Clock Network & Phase-Locked Loops” on page 2–16). Figure 2–23 illustrates the signal paths through the I/O block. Figure 2–23.

The input register can have its own clock input and clock enable separate from the OE and output registers. You can use the output register for data requiring fast clock-to-output performance. The OE register is available for fast clock-to-output enable timing. The OE and output register share the same clock source and the same clock enable source from the local interconnect in the associated LAB, dedicated I/O clocks, or the column and row interconnects. All registers share sclr and aclr, but each register can individually disable sclr and aclr. Figure 2–25 shows the IOE in bidirectional configuration. 2–42 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Figure 2–25.

A path in which a pin directly drives a register may require a programmable delay to ensure zero hold time, whereas a path in which a pin drives a register through combinational logic may not require the delay. Programmable delays decrease input-pin-to-logic-array and IOE input register delays. The Quartus II Compiler can program these delays to automatically minimize setup time while providing a zero hold time. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–43 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 I/O Structure & Features Programmable delays can increase the register-to-pin delays for output registers. Table 2–13 shows the programmable delays for Cyclone II devices. Table 2–13. Cyclone II Programmable Delay Chain Programmable Delays Quartus II Logic Option Input pin to logic array delay Input delay from pin to internal cells Input pin to input register delay Input delay from pin to input register Output pin delay Delay from output register to output pin There are two paths in the IOE for an input to reach the logic array. Each of the two paths can have a different delay. This allows you to adjust delays from the pin to internal LE registers that reside in two different areas of the device. You set the two combinational input delays by selecting different delays for two different paths under the Input delay from pin to internal cells logic option in the Quartus II software. However, if the pin uses the input register, one of delays is disregarded because the IOE only has two paths to internal logic. If the input register is used, the IOE uses one input path. The other input path is then available for the combinational path, and only one input delay assignment is applied. The IOE registers in each I/O block share the same source for clear or preset. You can program preset or clear for each individual IOE, but both features cannot be used simultaneously. You can also program the registers to power up high or low after configuration is complete. If programmed to power up low, an asynchronous clear can control the registers. If programmed to power up high, an asynchronous preset can control the registers. This feature prevents the inadvertent activation of another device’s active-low input upon power up. If one register in an IOE uses a preset or clear signal then all registers in the IOE must use that same signal if they require preset or clear. Additionally a synchronous reset signal is available for the IOE registers. External Memory Interfacing Cyclone II devices support a broad range of external memory interfaces such as SDR SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, DDR2 SDRAM, and QDRII SRAM external memories. Cyclone II devices feature dedicated high-speed interfaces that transfer data between external memory devices at up to 167 MHz/333 Mbps for DDR and DDR2 SDRAM devices and 167 MHz/667 Mbps for QDRII SRAM devices. The programmable DQS delay chain allows you to fine tune the phase shift for the input clocks or strobes to properly align clock edges as needed to capture data. 2–44 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture In Cyclone II devices, all the I/O banks support SDR and DDR SDRAM memory up to 167 MHz/333 Mbps. All I/O banks support DQS signals with the DQ bus modes of ×8/×9, or ×16/×18. Table 2–14 shows the external memory interfaces supported in Cyclone II devices. Table 2–14.

The I/O standards are supported on all the I/O banks of the Cyclone II device. The I/O standards are supported only on the I/O banks on the top and bottom of the Cyclone II device. For maximum performance, Altera recommends using the 1.8-V HSTL I/O standard because of higher I/O drive strength. QDRII SRAM devices also support the 1.5-V HSTL I/O standard. Cyclone II devices use data (DQ), data strobe (DQS), and clock pins to interface with external memory. Figure 2–26 shows the DQ and DQS pins in the ×8/×9 mode. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–45 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 I/O Structure & Features Figure 2–26. Cyclone II Device DQ & DQS Groups in ×8/×9 Mode Notes (1), (2) DQS Pin (2) DQ Pins DQ Pins DM Pin Notes to Figure 2–26: (1) (2) Each DQ group consists of a DQS pin, DM pin, and up to nine DQ pins. This is an idealized pin layout. For actual pin layout, refer to the pin table. Cyclone II devices support the data strobe or read clock signal (DQS) used in DDR and DDR2 SDRAM. Cyclone II devices can use either bidirectional data strobes or unidirectional read clocks. The dedicated external memory interface in Cyclone II devices also includes programmable delay circuitry that can shift the incoming DQS signals to center align the DQS signals within the data window. The DQS signal is usually associated with a group of data (DQ) pins. The phase-shifted DQS signals drive the global clock network, which is used to clock the DQ signals on internal LE registers. Table 2–15 shows the number of DQ pin groups per device. Table 2–15.

EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices in the 144-pin TQFP package do not have any DQ pin groups in I/O bank 1. Because of available clock resources, only a total of 6 DQ/DQS groups can be implemented. Because of available clock resources, only a total of 14 DQ/DQS groups can be implemented. The ×9 DQS/DQ groups are also used as ×8 DQS/DQ groups. The ×18 DQS/DQ groups are also used as ×16 DQS/DQ groups. For QDRI implementation, if you connect the D ports (write data) to the Cyclone II DQ pins, the total available ×9 DQS /DQ and ×18 DQS/DQ groups are half of that shown in Table 2–15. You can use any of the DQ pins for the parity pins in Cyclone II devices. The Cyclone II device family supports parity in the ×8/×9, and ×16/×18 mode. There is one parity bit available per eight bits of data pins. The data mask, DM, pins are required when writing to DDR SDRAM and DDR2 SDRAM devices. A low signal on the DM pin indicates that the write is valid. If the DM signal is high, the memory masks the DQ signals. In Cyclone II devices, the DM pins are assigned and are the preferred pins. Each group of DQS and DQ signals requires a DM pin. When using the Cyclone II I/O banks to interface with the DDR memory, at least one PLL with two clock outputs is needed to generate the system and write clock. The system clock is used to clock the DQS write signals, commands, and addresses. The write clock is shifted by –90° from the system clock and is used to clock the DQ signals during writes. Figure 2–27 illustrates DDR SDRAM interfacing from the I/O through the dedicated circuitry to the logic array.

The LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL-2 class I and II, SSTL-18 class I and II, HSTL-18 class I and II, and HSTL-1.5 class I and II standards have several levels of drive strength that you can control. Using minimum settings provides signal slew rate control to reduce system noise and signal overshoot. Table 2–16 shows the possible settings for the I/O standards with drive strength control.

Open-Drain Output Cyclone II devices provide an optional open-drain (equivalent to an open-collector) output for each I/O pin. This open-drain output enables the device to provide system-level control signals (that is, interrupt and write-enable signals) that can be asserted by any of several devices. 2–50 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture Slew Rate Control Slew rate control is performed by using programmable output drive strength. Bus Hold Each Cyclone II device user I/O pin provides an optional bus-hold feature. The bus-hold circuitry can hold the signal on an I/O pin at its last-driven state. Since the bus-hold feature holds the last-driven state of the pin until the next input signal is present, an external pull-up or pull-down resistor is not necessary to hold a signal level when the bus is tri-stated. The bus-hold circuitry also pulls undriven pins away from the input threshold voltage where noise can cause unintended high-frequency switching. You can select this feature individually for each I/O pin. The bus-hold output drives no higher than VCCIO to prevent overdriving signals. 1 If the bus-hold feature is enabled, the device cannot use the programmable pull-up option. Disable the bus-hold feature when the I/O pin is configured for differential signals. Bus hold circuitry is not available on the dedicated clock pins. The bus-hold circuitry is only active after configuration. When going into user mode, the bus-hold circuit captures the value on the pin present at the end of configuration. The bus-hold circuitry uses a resistor with a nominal resistance (RBH) of approximately 7 kΩ to pull the signal level to the last-driven state. Refer to the DC Characteristics & Timing Specifications chapter in Volume 1 of the Cyclone II Device Handbook for the specific sustaining current for each VCCIO voltage level driven through the resistor and overdrive current used to identify the next driven input level. Programmable Pull-Up Resistor Each Cyclone II device I/O pin provides an optional programmable pull-up resistor during user mode. If you enable this feature for an I/O pin, the pull-up resistor (typically 25 kΩ) holds the output to the VCCIO level of the output pin’s bank. 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 If the programmable pull-up is enabled, the device cannot use the bus-hold feature. The programmable pull-up resistors are not supported on the dedicated configuration, JTAG, and dedicated clock pins. 2–51 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 I/O Structure & Features Advanced I/O Standard Support Table 2–17 shows the I/O standards supported by Cyclone II devices and which I/O pins support them.

PCI-clamp diode is not available on top and bottom I/O pins. Pseudo-differential HSTL and SSTL outputs use two single-ended outputs with the second output programmed as inverted. Pseudo-differential HSTL and SSTL inputs treat differential inputs as two single-ended HSTL and SSTL inputs and only decode one of them. This I/O standard is not supported on these I/O pins. This I/O standard is only supported on the dedicated clock pins. PLL_OUT does not support differential SSTL-18 class II and differential 1.8 and 1.5-V HSTL class II. mini-LVDS and RSDS are only supported on output pins. LVPECL is only supported on clock inputs. f For more information on Cyclone II supported I/O standards, see the Selectable I/O Standards in Cyclone II Devices chapter in Volume 1 of the Cyclone II Device Handbook. High-Speed Differential Interfaces Cyclone II devices can transmit and receive data through LVDS signals at a data rate of up to 640 Mbps and 805 Mbps, respectively. For the LVDS transmitter and receiver, the Cyclone II device’s input and output pins support serialization and deserialization through internal logic. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–53 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 I/O Structure & Features The reduced swing differential signaling (RSDS) and mini-LVDS standards are derivatives of the LVDS standard. The RSDS and mini-LVDS I/O standards are similar in electrical characteristics to LVDS, but have a smaller voltage swing and therefore provide increased power benefits and reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI). Cyclone II devices support the RSDS and mini-LVDS I/O standards at data rates up to 311 Mbps at the transmitter. A subset of pins in each I/O bank (on both rows and columns) support the high-speed I/O interface. The dual-purpose LVDS pins require an external-resistor network at the transmitter channels in addition to 100-Ω termination resistors on receiver channels. These pins do not contain dedicated serialization or deserialization circuitry. Therefore, internal logic performs serialization and deserialization functions. Cyclone II pin tables list the pins that support the high-speed I/O interface. The number of LVDS channels supported in each device family member is listed in Table 2–18. Table 2–18.

Cyclone II Device LVDS Channels (Part 2 of 2) Device EP2C70 Pin Count Number of LVDS Channels (1) 672 160 (168) 896 257 (265) Note to Table 2–18: (1) The first number represents the number of bidirectional I/O pins which can be used as inputs or outputs. The number in parenthesis includes dedicated clock input pin pairs which can only be used as inputs. You can use I/O pins and internal logic to implement a high-speed I/O receiver and transmitter in Cyclone II devices. Cyclone II devices do not contain dedicated serialization or deserialization circuitry. Therefore, shift registers, internal PLLs, and IOEs are used to perform serial-to-parallel conversions on incoming data and parallel-to-serial conversion on outgoing data. The maximum internal clock frequency for a receiver and for a transmitter is 402.5 MHz. The maximum input data rate of 805 Mbps and the maximum output data rate of 640 Mbps is only achieved when DDIO registers are used. The LVDS standard does not require an input reference voltage, but it does require a 100-Ω termination resistor between the two signals at the input buffer. An external resistor network is required on the transmitter side. f For more information on Cyclone II differential I/O interfaces, see the High-Speed Differential Interfaces in Cyclone II Devices chapter in Volume 1 of the Cyclone II Device Handbook. Series On-Chip Termination On-chip termination helps to prevent reflections and maintain signal integrity. This also minimizes the need for external resistors in high pin count ball grid array (BGA) packages. Cyclone II devices provide I/O driver on-chip impedance matching and on-chip series termination for single-ended outputs and bidirectional pins. Altera Corporation February 2007 2–55 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 I/O Structure & Features Cyclone II devices support driver impedance matching to the impedance of the transmission line, typically 25 or 50 Ω. When used with the output drivers, on-chip termination sets the output driver impedance to 25 or 50 Ω. Cyclone II devices also support I/O driver series termination (RS = 50 Ω) for SSTL-2 and SSTL-18. Table 2–19 lists the I/O standards that support impedance matching and series termination. Table 2–19.

These RS values are nominal values. Actual impedance varies across process, voltage, and temperature conditions. The recommended frequency range of operation is pending silicon characterization. On-chip series termination can be supported on any I/O bank. VCCIO and VREF must be compatible for all I/O pins in order to enable on-chip series termination in a given I/O bank. I/O standards that support different RS values can reside in the same I/O bank as long as their VCCIO and VREF are not conflicting. 1 When using on-chip series termination, programmable drive strength is not available. Impedance matching is implemented using the capabilities of the output driver and is subject to a certain degree of variation, depending on the process, voltage and temperature. The actual tolerance is pending silicon characterization. 2–56 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Cyclone II Architecture I/O Banks The I/O pins on Cyclone II devices are grouped together into I/O banks and each bank has a separate power bus. EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices have four I/O banks (see Figure 2–28), while EP2C15, EP2C20, EP2C35, EP2C50, and EP2C70 devices have eight I/O banks (see Figure 2–29). Each device I/O pin is associated with one I/O bank. To accommodate voltage-referenced I/O standards, each Cyclone II I/O bank has a VREF bus. Each bank in EP2C5, EP2C8, EP2C15, EP2C20, EP2C35, and EP2C50 devices supports two VREF pins and each bank of EP2C70 supports four VREF pins. When using the VREF pins, each VREF pin must be properly connected to the appropriate voltage level. In the event these pins are not used as VREF pins, they may be used as regular I/O pins. The top and bottom I/O banks (banks 2 and 4 in EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices and banks 3, 4, 7, and 8 in EP2C15, EP2C20, EP2C35, EP2C50, and EP2C70 devices) support all I/O standards listed in Table 2–17, except the PCI/PCI-X I/O standards. The left and right side I/O banks (banks 1 and 3 in EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices and banks 1, 2, 5, and 6 in EP2C15, EP2C20, EP2C35, EP2C50, and EP2C70 devices) support I/O standards listed in Table 2–17, except SSTL-18 class II, HSTL-18 class II, and HSTL-15 class II I/O standards. See Table 2–17 for a complete list of supported I/O standards. The top and bottom I/O banks (banks 2 and 4 in EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices and banks 3, 4, 7, and 8 in EP2C15, EP2C20, EP2C35, EP2C50, and EP2C70 devices) support DDR2 memory up to 167 MHz/333 Mbps and QDR memory up to 167 MHz/668 Mbps. The left and right side I/O banks (1 and 3 of EP2C5 and EP2C8 devices and 1, 2, 5, and 6 of EP2C15, EP2C20, EP2C35, EP2C50, and EP2C70 devices) only support SDR and DDR SDRAM interfaces. All the I/O banks of the Cyclone II devices support SDR memory up to 167 MHz/167 Mbps and DDR memory up to 167 MHz/333 Mbps. 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 DDR2 and QDRII interfaces may be implemented in Cyclone II side banks if the use of class I I/O standard is acceptable. 2–57 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 I/O Structure & Features Figure 2–28.

This is a graphic representation only. Refer to the pin list and the Quartus II software for exact pin locations. The LVPECL I/O standard is only supported on clock input pins. This I/O standard is not supported on output pins. The differential SSTL-18 and SSTL-2 I/O standards are only supported on clock input pins and PLL output clock pins.

This is a graphic representation only. Refer to the pin list and the Quartus II software for exact pin locations. The LVPECL I/O standard is only supported on clock input pins. This I/O standard is not supported on output pins. The differential SSTL-18 and SSTL-2 I/O standards are only supported on clock input pins and PLL output clock pins. The differential 1.8-V and 1.5-V HSTL I/O standards are only supported on clock input pins and PLL output clock pins. Each I/O bank has its own VCCIO pins. A single device can support 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V interfaces; each individual bank can support a different standard with different I/O voltages. Each bank also has dual-purpose VREF pins to support any one of the voltage-referenced Altera Corporation February 2007 2–59 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 I/O Structure & Features standards (e.g., SSTL-2) independently. If an I/O bank does not use voltage-referenced standards, the VREF pins are available as user I/O pins. Each I/O bank can support multiple standards with the same VCCIO for input and output pins. For example, when VCCIO is 3.3-V, a bank can support LVTTL, LVCMOS, and 3.3-V PCI for inputs and outputs. Voltage-referenced standards can be supported in an I/O bank using any number of single-ended or differential standards as long as they use the same VREF and a compatible VCCIO value. MultiVolt I/O Interface The Cyclone II architecture supports the MultiVolt I/O interface feature, which allows Cyclone II devices in all packages to interface with systems of different supply voltages. Cyclone II devices have one set of VCC pins (VCCINT) that power the internal device logic array and input buffers that use the LVPECL, LVDS, HSTL, or SSTL I/O standards. Cyclone II devices also have four or eight sets of VCC pins (VCCIO) that power the I/O output drivers and input buffers that use the LVTTL, LVCMOS, or PCI I/O standards. The Cyclone II VCCINT pins must always be connected to a 1.2-V power supply. If the VCCINT level is 1.2 V, then input pins are 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, and 3.3-V tolerant. The VCCIO pins can be connected to either a 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V power supply, depending on the output requirements. The output levels are compatible with systems of the same voltage as the power supply (i.e., when VCCIO pins are connected to a 1.5-V power supply, the output levels are compatible with 1.5-V systems). When VCCIO pins are connected to a 3.3-V power supply, the output high is 3.3-V and is compatible with 3.3-V systems. Table 2–20 summarizes Cyclone II MultiVolt I/O support. Table 2–20.

These input values overdrive the input buffer, so the pin leakage current is slightly higher than the default value. To drive inputs higher than VCCIO but less than 4.0 V, disable the PCI clamping diode and turn on Allow voltage overdrive for LVTTL/LVCMOS input pins option in Device setting option in the Quartus II software. When VCCIO = 1.8-V, a Cyclone II device can drive a 1.5-V device with 1.8-V tolerant inputs. When VCCIO = 3.3-V and a 2.5-V input signal feeds an input pin or when VC C I O = 1.8-V and a 1.5-V input signal feeds an input pin, the VCCIO supply current will be slightly larger than expected. The reason for this increase is that the input signal level does not drive to the VCCIO rail, which causes the input buffer to not completely shut off. When VCCIO = 2.5-V, a Cyclone II device can drive a 1.5-V or 1.8-V device with 2.5-V tolerant inputs. When VCCIO = 3.3-V, a Cyclone II device can drive a 1.5-V, 1.8-V, or 2.5-V device with 3.3-V tolerant inputs.

Configuration & Testing CII51003-2.2 IEEE Std. 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary Scan Support All Cyclone® II devices provide JTAG BST circuitry that complies with the IEEE Std. 1149.1. JTAG boundary-scan testing can be performed either before or after, but not during configuration. Cyclone II devices can also use the JTAG port for configuration with the Quartus® II software or hardware using either Jam Files (.jam) or Jam Byte-Code Files (.jbc). Cyclone II devices support IOE I/O standard reconfiguration through the JTAG BST chain. The JTAG chain can update the I/O standard for all input and output pins any time before or during user mode through the CONFIG_IO instruction. You can use this capability for JTAG testing before configuration when some of the Cyclone II pins drive or receive from other devices on the board using voltage-referenced standards. Since the Cyclone II device might not be configured before JTAG testing, the I/O pins may not be configured for appropriate electrical standards for chip-to-chip communication. Programming the I/O standards via JTAG allows you to fully test I/O connections to other devices. f For information on I/O reconfiguration, refer to the MorphIO: An I/O Reconfiguration Solution for Altera Devices White Paper. A device operating in JTAG mode uses four required pins: TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK. The TCK pin has an internal weak pull-down resister, while the TDI and TMS pins have weak internal pull-up resistors. The TDO output pin and all JTAG input pin voltage is determined by the VCCIO of the bank where it resides. The bank VCCIO selects whether the JTAG inputs are 1.5-, 1.8-, 2.5-, or 3.3-V compatible. 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Stratix® II, Stratix, Cyclone II and Cyclone devices must be within the first 8 devices in a JTAG chain. All of these devices have the same JTAG controller. If any of the Stratix II, Stratix, Cyclone II or Cyclone devices are in the 9th of further position, they fail configuration. This does not affect Signal Tap II. 3–1 IEEE Std. 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary Scan Support Cyclone II devices also use the JTAG port to monitor the logic operation of the device with the SignalTap® II embedded logic analyzer. Cyclone II devices support the JTAG instructions shown in Table 3–1. Table 3–1. Cyclone II JTAG Instructions (Part 1 of 2) JTAG Instruction Instruction Code Description SAMPLE/PRELOAD 00 0000 0101 Allows a snapshot of signals at the device pins to be captured and examined during normal device operation, and permits an initial data pattern to be output at the device pins. Also used by the SignalTap II embedded logic analyzer. EXTEST (1) 00 0000 1111 Allows the external circuitry and board-level interconnects to be tested by forcing a test pattern at the output pins and capturing test results at the input pins. BYPASS 11 1111 1111 Places the 1-bit bypass register between the TDI and TDO pins, which allows the BST data to pass synchronously through selected devices to adjacent devices during normal device operation. USERCODE 00 0000 0111 Selects the 32-bit USERCODE register and places it between the TDI and TDO pins, allowing the USERCODE to be serially shifted out of TDO. IDCODE 00 0000 0110 Selects the IDCODE register and places it between TDI and TDO, allowing the IDCODE to be serially shifted out of TDO. HIGHZ (1) 00 0000 1011 Places the 1-bit bypass register between the TDI and TDO pins, which allows the BST data to pass synchronously through selected devices to adjacent devices during normal device operation, while tri-stating all of the I/O pins. CLAMP (1) 00 0000 1010 Places the 1-bit bypass register between the TDI and TDO pins, which allows the BST data to pass synchronously through selected devices to adjacent devices during normal device operation while holding I/O pins to a state defined by the data in the boundary-scan register. ICR instructions PULSE_NCONFIG Used when configuring a Cyclone II device via the JTAG port with a USB Blaster™, ByteBlaster™ II, MasterBlaster™ or ByteBlasterMV™ download cable, or when using a Jam File or JBC File via an embedded processor. 00 0000 0001 3–2 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Emulates pulsing the nCONFIG pin low to trigger reconfiguration even though the physical pin is unaffected.

Cyclone II JTAG Instructions (Part 2 of 2) JTAG Instruction CONFIG_IO SignalTap II instructions Instruction Code 00 0000 1101 Description Allows configuration of I/O standards through the JTAG chain for JTAG testing. Can be executed before, after, or during configuration. Stops configuration if executed during configuration. Once issued, the CONFIG_IO instruction holds nSTATUS low to reset the configuration device. nSTATUS is held low until the device is reconfigured. Monitors internal device operation with the SignalTap II embedded logic analyzer. Note to Table 3–1: (1) Bus hold and weak pull-up resistor features override the high-impedance state of HIGHZ, CLAMP, and EXTEST. The Quartus II software has an Auto Usercode feature where you can choose to use the checksum value of a programming file as the JTAG user code. If selected, the checksum is automatically loaded to the USERCODE register. In the Settings dialog box in the Assignments menu, click Device & Pin Options, then General, and then turn on the Auto Usercode option.

For more information on the Cyclone II JTAG specifications, refer to the DC Characteristics & Timing Specifications chapter in the Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1. 3–4 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Configuration & Testing SignalTap II Embedded Logic Analyzer f Configuration Cyclone II devices support the SignalTap II embedded logic analyzer, which monitors design operation over a period of time through the IEEE Std. 1149.1 (JTAG) circuitry. You can analyze internal logic at speed without bringing internal signals to the I/O pins. This feature is particularly important for advanced packages, such as FineLine BGA® packages, because it can be difficult to add a connection to a pin during the debugging process after a board is designed and manufactured. For more information on the SignalTap II, see the Signal Tap chapter of the Quartus II Handbook, Volume 3. The logic, circuitry, and interconnects in the Cyclone II architecture are configured with CMOS SRAM elements. Altera FPGA devices are reconfigurable and every device is tested with a high coverage production test program so you do not have to perform fault testing and can instead focus on simulation and design verification. Cyclone II devices are configured at system power-up with data stored in an Altera configuration device or provided by a system controller. The Cyclone II device’s optimized interface allows the device to act as controller in an active serial configuration scheme with EPCS serial configuration devices. The serial configuration device can be programmed via SRunner, the ByteBlaster II or USB Blaster download cable, the Altera Programming Unit (APU), or third-party programmers. In addition to EPCS serial configuration devices, Altera offers in-system programmability (ISP)-capable configuration devices that can configure Cyclone II devices via a serial data stream using the Passive serial (PS) configuration mode. The PS interface also enables microprocessors to treat Cyclone II devices as memory and configure them by writing to a virtual memory location, simplifying reconfiguration. After a Cyclone II device has been configured, it can be reconfigured in-circuit by resetting the device and loading new configuration data. Real-time changes can be made during system operation, enabling innovative reconfigurable applications. Operating Modes Altera Corporation February 2007 The Cyclone II architecture uses SRAM configuration elements that require configuration data to be loaded each time the circuit powers up. The process of physically loading the SRAM data into the device is called configuration. During initialization, which occurs immediately after configuration, the device resets registers, enables I/O pins, and begins to operate as a logic device. You can use the 10MHz internal oscillator or the optional CLKUSR pin during the initialization. The 10 MHz internal oscillator is disabled in user mode. Together, the configuration and initialization processes are called command mode. Normal device operation is called user mode. 3–5 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Configuration Schemes SRAM configuration elements allow Cyclone II devices to be reconfigured in-circuit by loading new configuration data into the device. With real-time reconfiguration, the device is forced into command mode with the nCONFIG pin. The configuration process loads different configuration data, reinitializes the device, and resumes user-mode operation. You can perform in-field upgrades by distributing new configuration files within the system or remotely. A built-in weak pull-up resistor pulls all user I/O pins to VCCIO before and during device configuration. The configuration pins support 1.5-V/1.8-V or 2.5-V/3.3-V I/O standards. The voltage level of the configuration output pins is determined by the VCCIO of the bank where the pins reside. The bank VCCIO selects whether the configuration inputs are 1.5-V, 1.8-V, 2.5-V, or 3.3-V compatible. Configuration Schemes You can load the configuration data for a Cyclone II device with one of three configuration schemes (see Table 3–4), chosen on the basis of the target application. You can use a configuration device, intelligent controller, or the JTAG port to configure a Cyclone II device. A low-cost configuration device can automatically configure a Cyclone II device at system power-up. Multiple Cyclone II devices can be configured in any of the three configuration schemes by connecting the configuration enable (nCE) and configuration enable output (nCEO) pins on each device.

Some applications that require the device to operate error free at high elevations or in close proximity to earth’s North or South Pole require periodic checks to ensure continued data integrity. The error detection cyclic redundancy code (CRC) feature controlled by the Device & Pin Options dialog box in the Quartus II software uses a 32-bit CRC circuit to ensure data reliability and is one of the best options for mitigating SEU. You can implement the error detection CRC feature with existing circuitry in Cyclone II devices, eliminating the need for external logic. For Cyclone II devices, the CRC is pre-computed by Quartus II software and then sent to the device as part of the POF file header. The CRC_ERROR pin reports a soft error when configuration SRAM data is corrupted, indicating to the user to preform a device reconfiguration. Custom-Built Circuitry Dedicated circuitry in the Cyclone II devices performs error detection automatically. This error detection circuitry in Cyclone II devices constantly checks for errors in the configuration SRAM cells while the device is in user mode. You can monitor one external pin for the error and use it to trigger a re-configuration cycle. You can select the desired time between checks by adjusting a built-in clock divider. Software Interface In the Quartus II software version 4.1 and later, you can turn on the automated error detection CRC feature in the Device & Pin Options dialog box. This dialog box allows you to enable the feature and set the internal frequency of the CRC checker between 400 kHz to 80 MHz. This controls the rate that the CRC circuitry verifies the internal configuration SRAM bits in the FPGA device. f Altera Corporation February 2007 For more information on CRC, refer to AN: 357 Error Detection Using CRC in Altera FPGAs. 3–7 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Document Revision History Document Revision History Table 3–5 shows the revision history for this document.

Hot Socketing & Power-On Reset CII51004-3.1 Introduction Cyclone® II devices offer hot socketing (also known as hot plug-in, hot insertion, or hot swap) and power sequencing support without the use of any external devices. You can insert or remove a Cyclone II board in a system during system operation without causing undesirable effects to the board or to the running system bus. The hot-socketing feature lessens the board design difficulty when using Cyclone II devices on printed circuit boards (PCBs) that also contain a mixture of 3.3-, 2.5-, 1.8-, and 1.5-V devices. With the Cyclone II hot-socketing feature, you no longer need to ensure a proper power-up sequence for each device on the board. The Cyclone II hot-socketing feature provides: ■ ■ ■ Board or device insertion and removal without external components or board manipulation Support for any power-up sequence Non-intrusive I/O buffers to system buses during hot insertion This chapter also discusses the power-on reset (POR) circuitry in Cyclone II devices. The POR circuitry keeps the devices in the reset state until the VCC is within operating range. Cyclone II Hot-Socketing Specifications Cyclone II devices offer hot-socketing capability with all three features listed above without any external components or special design requirements. The hot-socketing feature in Cyclone II devices offers the following: ■ ■ Altera Corporation February 2007 The device can be driven before power-up without any damage to the device itself. I/O pins remain tri-stated during power-up. The device does not drive out before or during power-up, thereby affecting other buses in operation. 4–1 Cyclone II Hot-Socketing Specifications Devices Can Be Driven before Power-Up You can drive signals into the I/O pins, dedicated input pins, and dedicated clock pins of Cyclone II devices before or during power-up or power-down without damaging the device. Cyclone II devices support any power-up or power-down sequence (VCCIO and VCCINT) to simplify system level design. I/O Pins Remain Tri-Stated during Power-Up A device that does not support hot socketing may interrupt system operation or cause contention by driving out before or during power-up. In a hot-socketing situation, the Cyclone II device’s output buffers are turned off during system power-up or power-down. The Cyclone II device also does not drive out until the device is configured and has attained proper operating conditions. The I/O pins are tri-stated until the device enters user mode with a weak pull-up resistor (R) to 3.3V. Refer to Figure 4–1 for more information. 1 ■ ■ You can power up or power down the VCCIO and VCCINT pins in any sequence. The VCCIO and VCCINT must have monotonic rise to their steady state levels. (Refer to Figure 4–3 for more information.) The power supply ramp rates can range from 100 µs to 100 ms for non “A” devices. Both VCC supplies must power down within 100 ms of each other to prevent I/O pins from driving out. During hot socketing, the I/O pin capacitance is less than 15 pF and the clock pin capacitance is less than 20 pF. Cyclone II devices meet the following hot-socketing specification. The hot-socketing DC specification is | IIOPIN | < 300 µA. The hot-socketing AC specification is | IIOPIN | < 8 mA for 10 ns or less. This specification takes into account the pin capacitance but not board trace and external loading capacitance. You must consider additional capacitance for trace, connector, and loading separately. IIOPIN is the current at any user I/O pin on the device. The DC specification applies when all VCC supplies to the device are stable in the powered-up or powered-down conditions. For the AC specification, the peak current duration due to power-up transients is 10 ns or less. A possible concern for semiconductor devices in general regarding hot socketing is the potential for latch-up. Latch-up can occur when electrical subsystems are hot socketed into an active system. During hot socketing, the signal pins may be connected and driven by the active system before 4–2 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Hot Socketing & Power-On Reset the power supply can provide current to the device’s VCC and ground planes. This condition can lead to latch-up and cause a low-impedance path from VCC to ground within the device. As a result, the device extends a large amount of current, possibly causing electrical damage. Altera has ensured by design of the I/O buffers and hot-socketing circuitry, that Cyclone II devices are immune to latch-up during hot socketing. Hot-Socketing Feature Implementation in Cyclone II Devices The hot-socketing feature turns off the output buffer during power up (either VCCINT or VCCIO supplies) or power down. The hot-socket circuit generates an internal HOTSCKT signal when either VCCINT or VCCIO is below the threshold voltage. Designs cannot use the HOTSCKT signal for other purposes. The HOTSCKT signal cuts off the output buffer to ensure that no DC current (except for weak pull-up leakage current) leaks through the pin. When VCC ramps up slowly, VCC is still relatively low even after the internal POR signal (not available to the FPGA fabric used by customer designs) is released and the configuration is finished. The CONF_DONE, nCEO, and nSTATUS pins fail to respond, as the output buffer cannot drive out because the hot-socketing circuitry keeps the I/O pins tristated at this low VCC voltage. Therefore, the hot-socketing circuit has been removed on these configuration output or bidirectional pins to ensure that they are able to operate during configuration. These pins are expected to drive out during power-up and power-down sequences. Each I/O pin has the circuitry shown in Figure 4–1. Altera Corporation February 2007 4–3 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Hot-Socketing Feature Implementation in Cyclone II Devices Figure 4–1. Hot-Socketing Circuit Block Diagram for Cyclone II Devices Power-On Reset Monitor Output Weak Pull-Up Resistor R Output Enable Voltage Tolerance Control PAD Hot Socket Output Pre-Driver Input Buffer to Logic Array The POR circuit monitors VCCINT voltage level and keeps I/O pins tri-stated until the device is in user mode. The weak pull-up resistor (R) from the I/O pin to VCCIO keeps the I/O pins from floating. The voltage tolerance control circuit permits the I/O pins to be driven by 3.3 V before VCCIO and/or VCCINT are powered, and it prevents the I/O pins from driving out when the device is not in user mode. f For more information, see the DC Characteristics & Timing Specifications chapter in Volume 1 of the Cyclone II Device Handbook for the value of the internal weak pull-up resistors. Figure 4–2 shows a transistor level cross section of the Cyclone II device I/O buffers. This design ensures that the output buffers do not drive when VCCIO is powered before VCCINT or if the I/O pad voltage is higher than VCCIO. This also applies for sudden voltage spikes during hot socketing. The VPAD leakage current charges the voltage tolerance control circuit capacitance. 4–4 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Hot Socketing & Power-On Reset Figure 4–2.

This is the larger of either the VCCIO or VPAD signal. Cyclone II devices contain POR circuitry to keep the device in a reset state until the power supply voltage levels have stabilized during power-up. The POR circuit monitors the VCCINT voltage levels and tri-states all user I/O pins until the VCC reaches the recommended operating levels. In addition, the POR circuitry also monitors the VCCIO level of the two I/O banks that contains configuration pins (I/O banks 1 and 3 for EP2C5 and EP2C8, I/O banks 2 and 6 for EP2C15A, EP2C20, EP2C35, EP2C50, and EP2C70) and tri-states all user I/O pins until the VCC reaches the recommended operating levels. After the Cyclone II device enters user mode, the POR circuit continues to monitor the VCCINT voltage level so that a brown-out condition during user mode can be detected. If the VCCINT voltage sags below the POR trip point during user mode, the POR circuit resets the device. If the VCCIO voltage sags during user mode, the POR circuit does not reset the device. "Wake-up" Time for Cyclone II Devices In some applications, it may be necessary for a device to wake up very quickly in order to begin operation. The Cyclone II device family offers the Fast-On feature to support fast wake-up time applications. Devices that support the Fast-On feature are designated with an “A” in the ordering code and have stricter power up requirements compared to nonA devices. Altera Corporation February 2007 4–5 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Power-On Reset Circuitry For Cyclone II devices, wake-up time consists of power-up, POR, configuration, and initialization. The device must properly go through all four stages to configure correctly and begin operation. You can calculate wake-up time using the following equation: Wake-Up Time = VCC Ramp Time + POR Time + Configuration Time + Initialization Time Figure 4–3 illustrates the components of wake up time. Figure 4–3. Cyclone II Wake-Up Time Voltage VCC Minimum Time VCC Ramp Time POR Time Configuration Time Initialization Time User Mode Note to Figure 4–3: (1) VCC ramp must be monotonic. The VCC ramp time and POR time will depend on the device characteristics and the power supply used in your system. The fast-on devices require a maximum VCC ramp time of 2 ms and have a maximum POR time of 12 ms. Configuration time will depend on the configuration mode chosen and the configuration file size. You can calculate configuration time by multiplying the number of bits in the configuration file with the period of the configuration clock. For fast configuration times, you should use Passive Serial (PS) configuration mode with maximum DCLK frequency of 100 MHz. In addition, you can use compression to reduce the configuration file size and speed up the configuration time. The tCD2UM or tCD2UMC parameters will determine the initialization time. 1 For more information on the tCD2UM or tCD2UMC parameters, refer to the Configuring Cyclone II Devices chapter in the Cyclone II Device Handbook. 4–6 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2007 Hot Socketing & Power-On Reset If you cannot meet the maximum VCC ramp time requirement, you must use an external component to hold nCONFIG low until the power supplies have reached their minimum recommend operating levels. Otherwise, the device may not properly configure and enter user mode. Conclusion Cyclone II devices are hot socketable and support all power-up and power-down sequences with the one requirement that VCCIO and VCCINT be powered up and down within 100 ms of each other to keep the I/O pins from driving out. Cyclone II devices do not require any external devices for hot socketing and power sequencing. Document Revision History Table 4–1 shows the revision history for this document. Table 4–1.

The minimum DC input is –0.5 V. During transitions, the inputs may undershoot to –2.0 V or overshoot to the voltages shown in Table 5–4, based on input duty cycle for input currents less than 100 mA. The overshoot is dependent upon duty cycle of the signal. The DC case is equivalent to 100% duty cycle. This value is specified for normal device operation. The value may vary during power-up. This applies for all VCCIO settings (3.3, 2.5, 1.8, and 1.5 V). Maximum values depend on the actual TJ and design utilization. See the Excel-based PowerPlay Early Power Estimator (www.altera.com) or the Quartus II PowerPlay Power Analyzer feature for maximum values. Refer to “Power Consumption” on page 5–13 for more information. RCONF values are based on characterization. RCONF = VCCIO/IRCONF. RCONF values may be different if VIN value is not 0 V. Pin pull-up resistance values will be lower if an external source drives the pin higher than VCCIO. Minimum condition at –40°C and high VCC, typical condition at 25°C and nominal VCC and maximum condition at 125°C and low VCC for RCONF values. These values apply to all VCCIO settings.

Table 5–13. Device Capacitance Note (1) Symbol Parameter Typical Unit CI O Input capacitance for user I/O pin. 6 pF CL V D S Input capacitance for dual-purpose LVDS/user I/O pin. 6 pF CV R E F Input capacitance for dual-purpose VREF pin when used as VREF or user I/O pin. 21 pF CC L K Input capacitance for clock pin. 5 pF Note to Table 5–13: (1) Power Consumption Capacitance is sample-tested only. Capacitance is measured using time-domain reflectometry (TDR). Measurement accuracy is within ±0.5 pF. You can calculate the power usage for your design using the PowerPlay Early Power Estimator and the PowerPlay Power Analyzer feature in the Quartus® II software. The interactive PowerPlay Early Power Estimator is typically used during the early stages of FPGA design, prior to finalizing the project, to get a magnitude estimate of the device power. The Quartus II software PowerPlay Power Analyzer feature is typically used during the later stages of FPGA design. The PowerPlay Power Analyzer also allows you to apply test vectors against your design for more accurate power consumption modeling. In both cases, only use these calculations as an estimation of power, not as a specification. For more information on PowerPlay tools, refer to the PowerPlay Early Power Estimator User Guide and the Power Estimation and Analysis section in volume 3 of the Quartus II Handbook. 1 You can obtain the Excel-based PowerPlay Early Power Estimator at www.altera.com. Refer to Table 5–3 on page 5–3 for typical ICC standby specifications. The power-up current required by Cyclone II devices does not exceed the maximum static current. The rate at which the current increases is a function of the system power supply. The exact amount of current consumed varies according to the process, temperature, and power ramp rate. The duration of the ICCINT power-up requirement depends on the VCCINT voltage supply rise time. Altera Corporation February 2008 5–13 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Timing Specifications You should select power supplies and regulators that can supply the amount of current required when designing with Cyclone II devices. Altera recommends using the Cyclone II PowerPlay Early Power Estimator to estimate the user-mode ICCINT consumption and then select power supplies or regulators based on the values obtained. Timing Specifications The DirectDrive™ technology and MultiTrack™ interconnect ensure predictable performance, accurate simulation, and accurate timing analysis across all Cyclone II device densities and speed grades. This section describes and specifies the performance, internal, external, high-speed I/O, JTAG, and PLL timing specifications. This section shows the timing models for Cyclone II devices. Commercial devices meet this timing over the commercial temperature range. Industrial devices meet this timing over the industrial temperature range. Automotive devices meet this timing over the automotive temperature range. Extended devices meet this timing over the extended temperature range. All specifications are representative of worst-case supply voltage and junction temperature conditions. Preliminary and Final Timing Specifications Timing models can have either preliminary or final status. The Quartus II software issues an informational message during the design compilation if the timing models are preliminary. Table 5–14 shows the status of the Cyclone II device timing models. Preliminary status means the timing model is subject to change. Initially, timing numbers are created using simulation results, process data, and other known parameters. These tests are used to make the preliminary numbers as close to the actual timing parameters as possible. 5–14 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2008 DC Characteristics and Timing Specifications Final timing numbers are based on actual device operation and testing. These numbers reflect the actual performance of the device under worst-case voltage and junction temperature conditions. Table 5–14.

These numbers are for commercial devices. These numbers are for automotive devices. Maximum Input and Output Clock Rate Maximum clock toggle rate is defined as the maximum frequency achievable for a clock type signal at an I/O pin. The I/O pin can be a regular I/O pin or a dedicated clock I/O pin. The maximum clock toggle rate is different from the maximum data bit rate. If the maximum clock toggle rate on a regular I/O pin is 300 MHz, the maximum data bit rate for dual data rate (DDR) could be potentially as high as 600 Mbps on the same I/O pin. Table 5–44 specifies the maximum input clock toggle rates. Table 5–45 specifies the maximum output clock toggle rates at default load. Table 5–46 specifies the derating factors for the output clock toggle rate for non-default load. To calculate the output toggle rate for a non-default load, use this formula: The toggle rate for a non-default load 5–46 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2008 DC Characteristics and Timing Specifications = 1000 / (1000/toggle rate at default load + derating factor * load value in pF/1000) For example, the output toggle rate at 0 pF (default) load for SSTL-18 Class II 18mA I/O standard is 270 MHz on a –6 device column I/O pin. The derating factor is 29 ps/pF. For a 10pF load, the toggle rate is calculated as: 1000 / (1000/270 + 29 × 10/1000) = 250 (MHz) Tables 5–44 through 5–46 show the I/O toggle rates for Cyclone II devices. Table 5–44.

You should also consider board skew, cable skew, and clock jitter in your calculation. This section provides details on the timing parameters for high-speed I/O standards in Cyclone II devices. Table 5–47 defines the parameters of the timing diagram shown in Figure 5–3. Table 5–47. High-Speed I/O Timing Definitions (Part 1 of 2) Parameter Symbol Description High-speed clock fH S C K L K High-speed receiver and transmitter input and output clock frequency. Duty cycle tD U T Y Duty cycle on high-speed transmitter output clock. High-speed I/O data rate HSIODR High-speed receiver and transmitter input and output data rate. Time unit interval TUI TUI = 1/HSIODR. Channel-to-channel skew TCCS The timing difference between the fastest and slowest output edges, including tCO variation and clock skew. The clock is included in the TCCS measurement. TCCS = TUI – SW – (2 × RSKM) Altera Corporation February 2008 5–55 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Timing Specifications Table 5–47. High-Speed I/O Timing Definitions (Part 2 of 2) Parameter Symbol Description Sampling window SW The period of time during which the data must be valid in order for you to capture it correctly. Sampling window is the sum of the setup time, hold time, and jitter. The window of tSU + tH is expected to be centered in the sampling window. SW = TUI – TCCS – (2 × RSKM) Receiver input skew margin RSKM RSKM is defined by the total margin left after accounting for the sampling window and TCCS. RSKM = (TUI – SW – TCCS) / 2 Input jitter (peak to peak) — Peak-to-peak input jitter on high-speed PLLs. Output jitter (peak to peak) — Peak-to-peak output jitter on high-speed PLLs. Signal rise time tR I S E Low-to-high transmission time. Signal fall time tFA L L High-to-low transmission time. Lock time tL O C K Lock time for high-speed transmitter and receiver PLLs. Figure 5–3.

High-Speed I/O Timing Budget Note (1) Internal Clock Period 0.5 × TCCS RSKM SW RSKM 0.5 × TCCS Note to Figure 5–4: (1) The equation for the high-speed I/O timing budget is: period = TCCS + RSKM + SW + RSKM. Table 5–48 shows the RSDS timing budget for Cyclone II devices at 311 Mbps. RSDS is supported for transmitting from Cyclone II devices. Cyclone II devices cannot receive RSDS data because the devices are intended for applications where they will be driving display drivers. Cyclone II devices support a maximum RSDS data rate of 311 Mbps using DDIO registers. Cyclone II devices support RSDS only in the commercial temperature range. Table 5–48.

For single-resistor RSDS in ×10 through ×2 modes, the maximum data rate is 170 Mbps and the corresponding maximum input clock frequency is 85 MHz. For single-resistor RSDS in ×1 mode, the maximum data rate is 170 Mbps, and the maximum input clock frequency is 170 MHz. For more information about the different RSDS implementations, refer to the High-Speed Differential Interfaces in Cyclone II Devices chapter of the Cyclone II Device Handbook. In order to determine the transmitter timing requirements, RSDS receiver timing requirements on the other end of the link must be taken into consideration.

If the downstream receiver can handle duty cycle distortion beyond the 45–55% range, you may use the higher data rate values from this column. You can calculate the duty cycle distortion as a percentage using the absolute ps value. For example, for a data rate of 640 Mbps (UI = 1562.5 ps) and a tD U T Y of 250 ps, the duty cycle distortion is ± tD U T Y /(UI*2) *100% = ± 250 ps/(1562.5 *2) * 100% = ± 8%, which gives you a duty cycle distortion of 42–58%.

The tJITTER specification for the PLL[4..1]_OUT pins are dependent on the I/O pins in its VCCIO bank, how many of them are switching outputs, how much they toggle, and whether or not they use programmable current strength. If the VCO post-scale counter = 2, a 300- to 500-MHz internal VCO frequency is available. This parameter is limited in the Quartus II software by the I/O maximum frequency. The maximum I/O frequency is different for each I/O standard. Cyclone II PLLs can track a spread-spectrum input clock that has an input jitter within ±200 ps. For extended temperature devices, the maximum lock time is 500 us. Duty Cycle Distortion Duty cycle distortion (DCD) describes how much the falling edge of a clock is off from its ideal position. The ideal position is when both the clock high time (CLKH) and the clock low time (CLKL) equal half of the clock period (T), as shown in Figure 5–8. DCD is the deviation of the non-ideal falling edge from the ideal falling edge, such as D1 for the falling edge A and D2 for the falling edge B (Figure 5–8). The maximum DCD for a clock is the larger value of D1 and D2. Figure 5–8. Duty Cycle Distortion Ideal Falling Edge CLKH = T/2 CLKL = T/2 D1 Falling Edge A D2 Falling Edge B Clock Period (T) DCD expressed in absolution derivation, for example, D1 or D2 in Figure 5–8, is clock-period independent. DCD can also be expressed as a percentage, and the percentage number is clock-period dependent. DCD as a percentage is defined as: Altera Corporation February 2008 5–67 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Duty Cycle Distortion (T/2 – D1) / T (the low percentage boundary) (T/2 + D2) / T (the high percentage boundary) DCD Measurement Techniques DCD is measured at an FPGA output pin driven by registers inside the corresponding I/O element (IOE) block. When the output is a single data rate signal (non-DDIO), only one edge of the register input clock (positive or negative) triggers output transitions (Figure 5–9). Therefore, any DCD present on the input clock signal, or caused by the clock input buffer, or different input I/O standard, does not transfer to the output signal. Figure 5–9. DCD Measurement Technique for Non-DDIO (Single-Data Rate) Outputs IOE DFF D Q output clk However, when the output is a double data rate input/output (DDIO) signal, both edges of the input clock signal (positive and negative) trigger output transitions (Figure 5–10). Therefore, any distortion on the input clock and the input clock buffer affect the output DCD. 5–68 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2008 DC Characteristics and Timing Specifications Figure 5–10. DCD Measurement Technique for DDIO (Double-Data Rate) Outputs DFF PRN clk D INPUT VCC GND Q CLRN 1 0 output VCC DFF PRN D Q CLRN When an FPGA PLL generates the internal clock, the PLL output clocks the IOE block. As the PLL only monitors the positive edge of the reference clock input and internally re-creates the output clock signal, any DCD present on the reference clock is filtered out. Therefore, the DCD for a DDIO output with PLL in the clock path is better than the DCD for a DDIO output without PLL in the clock path. Tables 5–55 through 5–58 give the maximum DCD in absolution derivation for different I/O standards on Cyclone II devices. Examples are also provided that show how to calculate DCD as a percentage.

For DDIO outputs, you can calculate actual half period from the following equation: Actual half period = ideal half period – maximum DCD For example, if the DDR output I/O standard is SSTL-2 Class II, the maximum DCD for a –5 device is 155 ps (refer to Table 5–57). If the clock frequency is 167 MHz, the half-clock period T/2 is: T/2 = 1/(2* f )= 1 /(2*167 MHz) = 3 ns = 3000 ps 5–72 Cyclone II Device Handbook, Volume 1 Altera Corporation February 2008 DC Characteristics and Timing Specifications The actual half period is then = 3000 ps – 155 ps = 2845 ps Table 5–58.
