Timing Model
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.Table4–52.StratixIIGX Device Timing Model Status

I/O Timing Measurement Methodology
Different I/O standards require different baseline loading techniques for reporting timing delays. Altera characterizes timing delays with the required termination for each I/O standard and with 0pF (except for PCI and PCI-X which use 10pF) loading and the timing is specified up to the output pin of the FPGA device. The QuartusII software calculates the I/O timing for each I/O standard with a default baseline loading as specified by the I/O standards.
The following measurements are made during device characterization. Altera measures clock-to-output delays (tCO) at worst-case process,
minimum voltage, and maximum temperature (PVT) for default loading conditions shown in Table4–53. Use the following equations to calculate clock pin to output pin timing for StratixIIGX devices.
tCO from clock pin to I/O pin = delay from clock pad to I/O output
register + IOE output register clock-to-output delay + delayfrom output register to output pin + I/O output delaytxz/tzx from clock pin to I/O pin = delay from clock pad to I/O
output register + IOE output register clock-to-output delay +delay from output register to output pin + I/O output delay +output enable pin delaySimulation 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 Table4–53.Record the time to VMEAS.

The incremental values for the settings are generally linear. For the exact delay associated with each setting, use the latest version of the QuartusII software.
