Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Family:
Introduction and Ordering Information
DS610 (v3.0) October 4, 2010
Product Specification
Introduction
The Spartan®-3A DSP family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays
(FPGAs) solves the design challenges in most high- volume,
cost-sensitive, high-performance DSP applications. The
two-member family offers densities ranging from 1.8 to 3.4 million
system gates, as shown in Table 1.
The Spartan-3A DSP family builds on the success of the
Spartan-3A FPGA family by increasing the amount of memory per
logic and adding XtremeDSP™ DSP48A slices. New features
improve system performance and reduce the cost of configuration.
These Spartan-3A DSP FPGA enhancements, combined with
proven 90 nm process technology, deliver more functionality and
bandwidth per dollar than ever before, setting the new standard in
the programmable logic and DSP processing industry.
The Spartan-3A DSP FPGAs extend and enhance the Spartan-3A
FPGA family. The XC3SD1800A and the XC3SD3400A devices
are tailored for DSP applications and have additional block RAM
and XtremeDSP DSP48A slices. The XtremeDSP DSP48A slices
replace the 18x18 multipliers found in the Spartan-3A devices and
are based on the DSP48 blocks found in the Virtex®-4 devices.
The block RAMs are also enhanced to run faster by adding an
output register. Both the block RAM and DSP48A slices in the
Spartan-3A DSP devices run at 250 MHz in the lowest cost,
standard -4 speed grade.
Because of their exceptional DSP price/performance ratio,
Spartan-3A DSP FPGAs are ideally suited to a wide range of
consumer electronics applications, such as broadband access,
home networking, display/projection, and digital television.
The Spartan-3A DSP family is a superior alternative to mask
programmed ASICs. FPGAs avoid the high initial cost, lengthy
development cycles, and the inherent inflexibility of conventional
ASICs. Also, FPGA programmability permits design upgrades in
the field with no hardware replacement necessary, an impossibility
with ASICs.

Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Family: Introduction and Ordering Information
Architectural Overview
The Spartan-3A DSP family architecture consists of five fundamental programmable functional elements:
•
•
•
•
XtremeDSP™ DSP48A Slice provides an 18-bit x
18-bit multiplier, 18-bit pre-adder, 48-bit
post-adder/accumulator, and cascade capabilities for
various DSP applications.
Block RAM provides data storage in the form of
18-Kbit dual-port blocks.
Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) contain flexible
Look-Up Tables (LUTs) that implement logic plus
storage elements used as flip-flops or latches. CLBs
perform a wide variety of logical functions as well as
store data.
Input/Output Blocks (IOBs) control the flow of data
between the I/O pins and the internal logic of the
device. IOBs support bidirectional data flow plus
3-state operation. Supports a variety of signal
standards, including several high-performance
differential standards. Double Data-Rate (DDR)
registers are included.
•
Digital Clock Manager (DCM) Blocks provide
self-calibrating, fully digital solutions for distributing,
delaying, multiplying, dividing, and phase-shifting clock
signals.
These elements are organized as shown in Figure 1. A dual
ring of staggered IOBs surrounds a regular array of CLBs.
The XC3SD1800A has four columns of DSP48As, and the
XC3SD3400A has five columns of DSP48As. Each
DSP48A has an associated block RAM. The DCMs are
positioned in the center with two at the top and two at the
bottom of the device and in the two outer columns of the 4 or
5 columns of block RAM and DSP48As.
The Spartan-3A DSP family features a rich network of
routing that interconnect all five functional elements,
transmitting signals among them. Each functional element
has an associated switch matrix that permits multiple
connections to the routing.

Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Family: Introduction and Ordering Information
Configuration
I/O Capabilities
Spartan-3A DSP FPGAs are programmed by loading
configuration data into robust, reprogrammable, static
CMOS configuration latches (CCLs) that collectively control
all functional elements and routing resources. The FPGA’s
configuration data is stored externally in a PROM or some
other non-volatile medium, either on or off the board. After
applying power, the configuration data is written to the
FPGA using any of seven different modes:
The Spartan-3A DSP FPGA SelectIO interface supports
many popular single-ended and differential standards.
Table 2 shows the number of user I/Os as well as the
number of differential I/O pairs available for each
device/package combination. Some of the user I/Os are
unidirectional input-only pins as indicated in Table 2.
Spartan-3A DSP FPGAs support the following single-ended
standards:
•
Master Serial from a Xilinx Platform Flash PROM
•
3.3V low-voltage TTL (LVTTL)
•
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) from an
industry-standard SPI serial Flash
•
Low-voltage CMOS (LVCMOS) at 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V,
1.5V, or 1.2V
•
Byte Peripheral Interface (BPI) Up from an
industry-standard x8 or x8/x16 parallel NOR Flash
•
3.3V PCI at 33 MHz or 66 MHz
•
Slave Serial, typically downloaded from a processor
•
HSTL I, II, and III at 1.5V and 1.8V, commonly used in
memory applications
•
Slave Parallel, typically downloaded from a processor
•
•
Boundary Scan (JTAG), typically downloaded from a
processor or system tester
SSTL I and II at 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V, commonly used
for memory applications
•
Spartan-3A DSP FPGAs support the following
differential standards:
•
LVDS, mini-LVDS, RSDS, and PPDS I/O at 2.5V or
3.3V
•
Bus LVDS I/O at 2.5V
•
TMDS I/O at 3.3V
•
Differential HSTL and SSTL I/O
•
LVPECL inputs at 2.5V or 3.3V
Furthermore, Spartan-3A DSP FPGAs support MultiBoot
configuration, allowing two or more FPGA configuration
bitstreams to be stored in a single SPI serial Flash or a BPI
parallel NOR Flash. The FPGA application controls which
configuration to load next and when to load it.
Additionally, each Spartan-3A DSP FPGA contains a
unique, factory-programmed Device DNA identifier useful
for tracking purposes, anti-cloning designs, or IP protection.

DC and Switching Characteristics
DS610 (v3.0) October 4, 2010
Product Specification
DC Electrical Characteristics
In this section, specifications may be designated as
Advance, Preliminary, or Production. These terms are
defined as follows:
Advance: Initial estimates are based on simulation, early
characterization, and/or extrapolation from the
characteristics of other families. Values are subject to
change. Use as estimates, not for production.
Preliminary: Based on characterization. Further changes
are not expected.
Production: These specifications are approved once the
silicon has been characterized over numerous production
lots. Parameter values are considered stable with no future
changes expected.
All parameter limits are representative of worst-case supply
voltage and junction temperature conditions. Unless
otherwise noted, the published parameter values apply

Apply VCCINT last for lowest overall power consumption (see the UG331 chapter titled "Powering Spartan-3 Generation FPGAs" for more
information).
To ensure successful power-on, VCCINT, VCCO Bank 2, and VCCAUX supplies must rise through their respective threshold-voltage ranges with
no dips at any point.

Define VCCAUX selection using CONFIG VCCAUX constraint.
See XAPP459, Eliminating I/O Coupling Effects when Interfacing Large-Swing Single-Ended Signals to User I/O Pins on Spartan-3 Families.
For single-ended signals that are placed on a differential-capable I/O, VIN of –0.2V to –0.5V is supported but can cause increased leakage
between the two pins. See Parasitic Leakage in UG331, Spartan-3 Generation FPGA User Guide.

The numbers in this table are based on the conditions set forth in Table 7.
Quiescent supply current is measured with all I/O drivers in a high-impedance state and with all pull-up/pull-down resistors at the I/O pads
disabled. Typical values are characterized using typical devices at room temperature (TJ of 25°C at VCCINT = 1.2V, VCCO = 3.3V, and VCCAUX
= 2.5V). The maximum limits are tested for each device at the respective maximum specified junction temperature and at maximum voltage
limits with VCCINT = 1.26V, VCCO = 3.6V, and VCCAUX = 3.6V. The FPGA is programmed with a “blank” configuration data file (that is, a design
with no functional elements instantiated). For conditions other than those described above (for example, a design including functional
elements), measured quiescent current levels will be different than the values in the table.
For more accurate estimates for a specific design, use the Xilinx XPower tools. There are two recommended ways to estimate the total power
consumption (quiescent plus dynamic) for a specific design: a) The Spartan-3A DSP FPGA XPower Estimator provides quick, approximate,
typical estimates, and does not require a netlist of the design. b) XPower Analyzer uses a netlist as input to provide maximum estimates as
well as more accurate typical estimates.
The maximum numbers in this table indicate the minimum current each power rail requires in order for the FPGA to power-on successfully.
For information on the power-saving Suspend mode, see XAPP480: Using Suspend Mode in Spartan-3 Generation FPGAs. Suspend mode
typically saves 40% total power consumption compared to quiescent current.

Descriptions of the symbols used in this table are as follows:
VCCO—the supply voltage for output drivers
VREF—the reference voltage for setting the input switching threshold
VIL—the input voltage that indicates a Low logic level
VIH—the input voltage that indicates a High logic level
In general, the VCCO rails supply only output drivers, not input circuits. The exceptions are for LVCMOS25 inputs when VCCAUX = 3.3V range
and for PCI I/O standards.
For device operation, the maximum signal voltage (VIH max) can be as high as VIN max. See Table 7.
There is approximately 100 mV of hysteresis on inputs using LVCMOS33 and LVCMOS25 I/O standards.
All Dedicated pins (PROG_B, DONE, SUSPEND, TCK, TDI, TDO, and TMS) draw power from the VCCAUX rail and use the LVCMOS25 or
LVCMOS33 standard depending on VCCAUX. The Dual-Purpose configuration pins use the LVCMOS standard before the User mode. When
using these pins as part of a standard 2.5V configuration interface, apply 2.5V to the VCCO lines of Banks 0, 1, and 2 at power-on as well as
throughout configuration.
For information on PCI IP solutions, see www.xilinx.com/pci. The PCI IOSTANDARD is not supported on input-only pins. The PCIX
IOSTANDARD is available and has equivalent characteristics but no PCI-X IP is supported.

The VCCO rails supply only differential output drivers, not input circuits.
VICM must be less than VCCAUX.
These true differential output standards are supported only on FPGA banks 0 and 2. Inputs are unrestricted. See the chapter "Using I/O Resources" in UG331.
See "External Termination Requirements for Differential I/O."
LVPECL is supported on inputs only, not outputs. LVPECL_33 requires VCCAUX = 3.3V ± 10%.
LVPECL_33 maximum VICM = the lower of 2.8V or VCCAUX – (VID/2).
Requires VCCAUX = 3.3V ±10%. (VCCAUX - 300 mV) ≤ VICM ≤ (VCCAUX - 37 mV).
These higher-drive output standards are supported only on FPGA banks 1 and 3. Inputs are unrestricted. See the chapter "Using I/O Resources" in UG331.
All standards except for LVPECL and TMDS can have VCCAUX at either 2.5V or 3.3V. Define your VCCAUX level using the CONFIG VCCAUX constraint.

Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Family: DC and Switching Characteristics
Switching Characteristics
All Spartan-3A DSP FPGAs ship in two speed grades: –4
and the higher performance –5. Switching characteristics in
this document are designated as Advance, Preliminary, or
Production, as shown in Table 15. Each category is defined
as follows:
Advance: These specifications are based on simulations
only and are typically available soon after establishing
FPGA specifications. Although speed grades with this
designation are considered relatively stable and
conservative, some under-reporting might still occur.
Preliminary: These specifications are based on complete
early silicon characterization. Devices and speed grades
with this designation are intended to give a better indication
of the expected performance of production silicon. The
probability of under-reporting preliminary delays is greatly
reduced compared to Advance data.
Production: These specifications are approved once
enough production silicon of a particular device family
member has been characterized to provide full correlation
between speed files and devices over numerous production
lots. There is no under-reporting of delays, and customers
receive formal notification of any subsequent changes.
Typically, the slowest speed grades transition to Production
before faster speed grades.

Timing parameters and their representative values are
selected for inclusion below either because they are
important as general design requirements or they indicate
fundamental device performance characteristics. The
Spartan-3A DSP FPGA speed files (v1.32), part of the
Xilinx Development Software, are the original source for
many but not all of the values. The speed grade
designations for these files are shown in Table 15. For more
complete, more precise, and worst-case data, use the
values reported by the Xilinx static timing analyzer (TRACE
in the Xilinx development software) and back-annotated to
the simulation netlist.

Table 16 provides the recent history of the Spartan-3A DSP
FPGA speed files.
Software Version Requirements
Production-quality systems must use FPGA designs
compiled using a speed file designated as PRODUCTION
status. FPGAs designs using a less mature speed file
designation should only be used during system prototyping
or pre-production qualification. FPGA designs with speed
files designated as Preview, Advance, or Preliminary should
not be used in a production-quality system.
Whenever a speed file designation changes, as a device
matures toward Production status, rerun the latest Xilinx®
ISE® software on the FPGA design to ensure that the
FPGA design incorporates the latest timing information and
software updates.
Production designs will require updating the Xilinx ISE
development software with a future version and/or Service
Pack.

The numbers in this table are tested using the methodology
presented in Table 26 and are based on the operating conditions
set forth in Table 7, Table 10, and Table 12.
These adjustments are used to convert output- and
three-state-path times originally specified for the LVCMOS25
standard with 12 mA drive and Fast slew rate to times that
correspond to other signal standards. Do not adjust times that
measure when outputs go into a high-impedance state.
Note that 16 mA drive is faster than 24 mA drive for the Slow
slew rate.

Timing Measurement Methodology
LVCMOS, LVTTL), then RT is set to 1MΩ to indicate an
open connection, and VT is set to zero. The same
measurement point (VM) that was used at the Input is also
used at the Output.
When measuring timing parameters at the programmable
I/Os, different signal standards call for different test
conditions. Table 26 lists the conditions to use for each
standard.
The method for measuring Input timing is as follows: A
signal that swings between a Low logic level of VL and a
High logic level of VH is applied to the Input under test.
Some standards also require the application of a bias
voltage to the VREF pins of a given bank to properly set the
input-switching threshold. The measurement point of the
Input signal (VM) is commonly located halfway between VL
and VH.

The Output test setup is shown in Figure 8. A termination
voltage VT is applied to the termination resistor RT, the other
end of which is connected to the Output. For each standard,
RT and VT generally take on the standard values
recommended for minimizing signal reflections. If the
standard does not ordinarily use terminations (for example,

Descriptions of the relevant symbols are:
VREF – The reference voltage for setting the input switching threshold
VICM – The common mode input voltage
VM – Voltage of measurement point on signal transition
VL – Low-level test voltage at Input pin
VH – High-level test voltage at Input pin
RT – Effective termination resistance, which takes on a value of 1 MΩ when no parallel termination is required
VT – Termination voltage
The load capacitance (CL) at the Output pin is 0 pF for all signal standards.
According to the PCI specification. For information on PCI IP solutions, see www.xilinx.com/pci. The PCIX IOSTANDARD is available and
has equivalent characteristics but no PCI-X IP is supported.
The capacitive load (CL) is connected between the output and GND. The Output timing for all standards, as published in the
speed files and the data sheet, is always based on a CL value of zero. High-impedance probes (less than 1 pF) are used for
all measurements. Any delay that the test fixture might contribute to test measurements is subtracted from those
measurements to produce the final timing numbers as published in the speed files and data sheet.

Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Family: DC and Switching Characteristics
Using IBIS Models to Simulate Load
Conditions in Application
IBIS models permit the most accurate prediction of timing
delays for a given application. The parameters found in the
IBIS model (VREF, RREF, and VMEAS) correspond directly
with the parameters used in Table 26 (VT, RT, and VM). Do
not confuse VREF (the termination voltage) from the IBIS
model with VREF (the input-switching threshold) from the
table. A fourth parameter, CREF, is always zero. The four
parameters describe all relevant output test conditions. IBIS
models are found in the Xilinx development software as well
as at the following link:
www.xilinx.com/support/download/index.htm
Delays for a given application are simulated according to its
specific load conditions as follows:
1. Simulate the desired signal standard with the output
driver connected to the test setup shown in Figure 8.
Use parameter values VT, RT, and VM from Table 26.
CREF is zero.
2. Record the time to VM.
3. Simulate the same signal standard with the output
driver connected to the PCB trace with load. Use the
appropriate IBIS model (including VREF, RREF, CREF,
and VMEAS values) or capacitive value to represent the
load.
4. Record the time to VMEAS.
5. Compare the results of steps 2 and 4. Add (or subtract)
the increase (or decrease) in delay to (or from) the
appropriate Output standard adjustment (Table 25) to
yield the worst-case delay of the PCB trace.
Simultaneously Switching Output
Guidelines
and any other signal routing inside the package. Other
variables contribute to SSO noise levels, including stray
inductance on the PCB as well as capacitive loading at
receivers. Any SSO-induced voltage consequently affects
internal switching noise margins and ultimately signal
quality.
Table 27 and Table 28 provide the essential SSO
guidelines. For each device/package combination, Table 27
provides the number of equivalent VCCO/GND pairs. The
equivalent number of pairs is based on characterization and
may not match the physical number of pairs. For each
output signal standard and drive strength, Table 28
recommends the maximum number of SSOs, switching in
the same direction, allowed per VCCO/GND pair within an
I/O bank. The guidelines in Table 28 are categorized by
package style, slew rate, and output drive current.
Furthermore, the number of SSOs is specified by I/O bank.
Generally, the left and right I/O banks (Banks 1 and 3)
support higher output drive current.
Multiply the appropriate numbers from Table 27 and
Table 28 to calculate the maximum number of SSOs
allowed within an I/O bank. Exceeding these SSO
guidelines might result in increased power or ground
bounce, degraded signal integrity, or increased system jitter.
SSOMAX/IO Bank = Table 27 x Table 28
The recommended maximum SSO values assumes that the
FPGA is soldered on the printed circuit board and that the
board uses sound design practices. The SSO values do not
apply for FPGAs mounted in sockets, due to the lead
inductance introduced by the socket.
The SSO values assume that the VCCAUX is powered at
3.3V. Setting VCCAUX to 2.5V provides better SSO
characteristics.
Table 27: Equivalent VCCO/GND Pairs per Bank
This section provides guidelines for the recommended
maximum allowable number of Simultaneous Switching
Outputs (SSOs). These guidelines describe the maximum
number of user I/O pins of a given output signal standard
that should simultaneously switch in the same direction,
while maintaining a safe level of switching noise. Meeting
these guidelines for the stated test conditions ensures that
the FPGA operates free from the adverse effects of ground
and power bounce.

Ground or power bounce occurs when a large number of
outputs simultaneously switch in the same direction. The
output drive transistors all conduct current to a common
voltage rail. Low-to-High transitions conduct to the VCCO
rail; High-to-Low transitions conduct to the GND rail. The
resulting cumulative current transient induces a voltage
difference across the inductance that exists between the die
pad and the power supply or ground return. The inductance
is associated with bonding wires, the package lead frame,

Not all I/O standards are supported on all I/O banks. The left and
right banks (I/O banks 1 and 3) support higher output drive
current than the top and bottom banks (I/O banks 0 and 2).
Similarly, true differential output standards, such as LVDS,
RSDS, PPDS, miniLVDS, and TMDS, are only supported in top
or bottom banks (I/O banks 0 and 2). Refer to UG331: Spartan-3
Generation FPGA User Guide for additional information.
The numbers in this table are recommendations that assume
sound board lay out practice. This table assumes the following
parasitic factors: combined PCB trace and land inductance per
VCCO and GND pin of 1.0 nH, receiver capacitive load of 15 pF.
Test limits are the VIL/VIH voltage limits for the respective I/O
standard.
If more than one signal standard is assigned to the I/Os of a
given bank, refer to XAPP689: Managing Ground Bounce in
Large FPGAs for information on how to perform weighted
average SSO calculations.

Spartan-3A DSP FPGA Family: DC and Switching Characteristics
Digital Clock Manager (DCM) Timing
For specification purposes, the DCM consists of three key
components: the Delay-Locked Loop (DLL), the Digital
Frequency Synthesizer (DFS), and the Phase Shifter (PS).
Period jitter is the worst-case deviation from the ideal clock
period over a collection of millions of samples. In a
histogram of period jitter, the mean value is the clock period.
Aspects of DLL operation play a role in all DCM
applications. All such applications inevitably use the CLKIN
and the CLKFB inputs connected to either the CLK0 or the
CLK2X feedback, respectively. Thus, specifications in the
DLL tables (Table 36 and Table 37) apply to any application
that only employs the DLL component. When the DFS
and/or the PS components are used together with the DLL,
then the specifications listed in the DFS and PS tables
(Table 38 through Table 41) supersede any corresponding
ones in the DLL tables. DLL specifications that do not
change with the addition of DFS or PS functions are
presented in Table 36 and Table 37.
Cycle-cycle jitter is the worst-case difference in clock period
between adjacent clock cycles in the collection of clock
periods sampled. In a histogram of cycle-cycle jitter, the
mean value is zero.
Spread Spectrum
DCMs accept typical spread spectrum clocks as long as
they meet the input requirements. The DLL will track the
frequency changes created by the spread spectrum clock to
drive the global clocks to the FPGA logic. See XAPP469:
Spread-Spectrum Clocking Reception for Displays for
details.
Period jitter and cycle-cycle jitter are two of many different
ways of specifying clock jitter. Both specifications describe
statistical variation from a mean value.

DLL specifications apply when any of the DLL outputs (CLK0, CLK90, CLK180, CLK270, CLK2X, CLK2X180, or CLKDV) are in use.
The DFS, when operating independently of the DLL, supports lower FCLKIN frequencies. See Table 38.
To support double the maximum effective FCLKIN limit, set the CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute to TRUE. This attribute divides the incoming
clock frequency by two as it enters the DCM. The CLK2X output reproduces the clock frequency provided on the CLKIN input.
CLKIN input jitter beyond these limits might cause the DCM to lose lock.
The DCM specifications are guaranteed when both adjacent DCMs are locked.

Indicates the maximum amount of output jitter that the DCM adds to the jitter on the CLKIN input.
For optimal jitter tolerance and faster lock time, use the CLKIN_PERIOD attribute.
Some jitter and duty-cycle specifications include 1% of input clock period or 0.01 UI. For example, the data sheet specifies a maximum jitter
of ±[1% of CLKIN period + 150]. Assume the CLKIN frequency is 100 MHz. The equivalent CLKIN period is 10 ns and 1% of 10 ns is 0.1 ns
or 100 ps. According to the data sheet, the maximum jitter is ±[100 ps + 150 ps] = ±250 ps, averaged over all steps.
The typical delay step size is 23 ps.

DFS specifications apply when either of the DFS outputs (CLKFX or CLKFX180) are used.
If both DFS and DLL outputs are used on the same DCM, follow the more restrictive CLKIN_FREQ_DLL specifications in Table 36.
CLKIN input jitter beyond these limits may cause the DCM to lose lock.
The DCM specifications are guaranteed when both adjacent DCMs are locked.
To support double the maximum effective FCLKIN limit, set the CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 attribute to TRUE. This attribute divides the incoming
clock frequency by two as it enters the DCM.

The numbers in this table are based on the operating conditions set forth in Table 7 and Table 38.
DFS performance requires the additional logic automatically added by ISE 9.1i and later software revisions.
For optimal jitter tolerance and faster lock time, use the CLKIN_PERIOD attribute.
Maximum output jitter is characterized within a reasonable noise environment (150 ps input period jitter, 40 SSOs and 25% CLB switching)
on an FPGA. Output jitter strongly depends on the environment, including the number of SSOs, the output drive strength, CLB utilization,
CLB switching activities, switching frequency, power supply and PCB design. The actual maximum output jitter depends on the system
application.
The CLKFX and CLKFX180 outputs always have an approximate 50% duty cycle.
Some duty-cycle and alignment specifications include a percentage of the CLKFX output period. For example, the data sheet specifies a
maximum CLKFX jitter of “±[1% of CLKFX period + 200]”. Assume the CLKFX output frequency is 100 MHz. The equivalent CLKFX period
is 10 ns and 1% of 10 ns is 0.1 ns or 100 ps. According to the data sheet, the maximum jitter is ±[100 ps + 200 ps] = ±300 ps.

DCM_DELAY_STEP steps for a given
CLKIN clock period, where T = CLKIN
clock period in ns. If using
CLKIN_DIVIDE_BY_2 = TRUE, double
the effective clock period.

The numbers in this table are based on the operating conditions set forth in Table 7 and Table 40.
The maximum variable phase shift range, MAX_STEPS, is only valid when the DCM is has no initial fixed phase shifting, that is, the
PHASE_SHIFT attribute is set to 0.
The DCM_DELAY_STEP values are provided at the bottom of Table 37.
