DC Characteristics
This section lists the input pin capacitances, on-chip termination tolerance, and hot- socketing specifications.Supply Current
Standby current is the current the device draws after the device is configured with no inputs/outputs toggling and no activity in the device. Since these currents vary largely with the resources used, use the Excel-based Early Power Estimator (EPE) to get supply current estimates for your design.
Table1–4 lists supply current specifications for VCC_CLKIN and VCCPGM. Use the EPE to get supply current estimates for remaining power supplies.Table1–4.Supply Current Specifications for VCC_CLKIN and VCCPGM

Notes to Table1–5:
(1)This value is specified for normal device operation. The value may vary during power-up. This applies for all VCCIO
settings (3.3, 3.0, 2.5, 1.8, 1.5, and 1.2 V).(2)10-?A I/O leakage current limit is applicable when the internal clamping diode is off. A higher current can be
observed when the diode is on.

Table1–33 describes the average DQS phase offset delay per setting for StratixIII devices. Table1–33.Average DQS Phase Offset Delay per Setting (Note1), (2), (3)Speed Grade C2C3, I3C4, I4C4L, I4L Notes to Table1–33: (1)The valid settings for phase offset are -64 to +63 for frequency modes 0 to 3 and -32 to +31 for frequency modes 4 to 6.(2)The typical value equals the average of the minimum and maximum values. (3)The delay settings are linear with a cumulative delay variation of ±20ps for all speed grades. For example, when using a C2 speed grade and applying 10° phase offset settings to a 90° phase shift at 400 MHz, the expected minimum cumulative delay is [625 ps + (10*7 ps) - 20 ps] = 675 ps.
