(3)Column and row I/O banks support LVPECL I/O standards for input operation only on dedicated clock input pins. Differential clock inputs in column I/O use
VCC_CLKIN which should be powered by 2.5 V. Differential clock inputs in row I/O are powered by VCCPD.(4)The receiver voltage input range for data rate when Dmax > 700Mbps,0.85V ??VIN ??1.75V.

Power Consumption
Altera offers two ways to estimate power for a design: the Excel-based Early Power Estimator and the Quartus?II PowerPlay Power Analyzer feature.
The interactive Excel-based Early Power Estimator is typically used prior to designing the FPGA in order to get a magnitude estimate of the device power. The QuartusII PowerPlay Power Analyzer provides better quality estimates based on the specifics of the design after the place-and-route is complete. The PowerPlay Power Analyzer can apply a combination of user-entered, simulation-derived and estimated signal activities which, combined with detailed circuit models, can yield very accurate power estimates.
See Table1–4 for supply current estimates for VCCPGM and VCC_CLKIN. Use the EPE and PowerPlay Power Analyzer for current estimates of remaining power supplies.

For more information about power estimation tools, refer to the PowerPlay Early Power Estimator User Guide For StratixIII FPGAs and the PowerPlay Power Analysis chapter in the QuartusII Handbook.
Switching Characteristics
This section provides performance characteristics of StratixIII core and periphery blocks for commercial grade devices.
These characteristics can be designated as Preliminary and Final and each designation is defined below. Preliminary
Preliminary characteristics are created using simulation results, process data, and other known parameters. Final

Figure1–5.Output Register Clock to Output Timing Diagram
DatainClockClock pad to output Register delayOutput Register micro tCOOutput Register to output pin delayOutputSimulation using IBIS models is required to determine the delays on the PCB traces in addition to the output pin delay timing reported by the QuartusII software and the timing model in the device handbook.
1.Simulate the output driver of choice into the generalized test setup, using values
from Table1–39.2.Record the time to VMEAS at the far end of the PCB trace.
3.Simulate the output driver of choice into the actual PCB trace and load, using the
appropriate IBIS model or capacitance value to represent the load.4.Record the time to VMEAS at the far end of the PCB trace.
5.Compare the results of steps 2 and 4. The increase or decrease in delay should be
added to or subtracted from the I/O Standard Output Adder delays to yield theactual worst-case propagation delay (clock-to-output) of the PCB trace.The QuartusII software reports the timing with the conditions shown in Table1–39 using the above equation. Figure1–6 shows the model of the circuit that is represented by the output timing of the QuartusII software.

(1)Output pin timing is reported at the output pin of the FPGA device. Additional delays for loading and board trace delay
need to be accounted for with IBIS model simulations.
