Electrical Characteristics
Operating Conditions
When Stratix?III devices are implemented in a system, they are rated according to a set of defined parameters. To maintain the highest possible performance and reliability of StratixIII devices, system designers must consider the operating requirements discussed in this chapter. StratixIII devices are offered in both
commercial and industrial grades. Commercial devices are offered in –2 (fastest), –3, –4 and –4L speed grades. Industrial devices are offered only in –3, –4, and –4L speedgrades.
1
In this chapter, a prefix associated with the operating temperature range is attached to the speed grades; commercial with “C” prefix and industrial with “I” prefix.
Commercial devices are therefore indicated as C2, C3, C4, and C4L per respective speed grades. Industrial devices are indicated as I3, I4, and I4L.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Absolute maximum ratings define the maximum operating conditions for StratixIII devices. The values are based on experiments conducted with the device and theoretical modeling of breakdown and damage mechanisms. The functional
operation of the device is not implied at these conditions. Conditions beyond those listed in Table1–1 may cause permanent damage to the device. Additionally, device operation at the absolute maximum ratings for extended periods may have adverse effects on the device.

Notes to Table1–3:
(1)VCCPD is 2.5 V, 3.0 V, or 3.3 V. For a 3.3-V I/O standard, VCCPD=3.3 V. For a 3.0-V I/O standard, VCCPD = 3.0 V. For a 2.5 V or lower I/O standard,
VCCPD = 2.5 V.(2)For the EP3SL340, EP3SE260, and EP3SL200 devices in the I4L ordering code, the industrial junction temperature range is from 0° C to
100° C, regardless of supply voltage.(3)Altera recommends a 3.0-V nominal battery voltage when connecting VCCBAT to a battery for volatile key backup. If you do not use the volatile
security key, you may connect the VCCBAT to either GND or a 3.0-V power supply.

Final numbers are based on actual silicon characterization and testing. These numbers reflect the actual performance of the device under worst-case silicon process, voltage, and junction temperature conditions. The upper-right hand corner of a table shows the designation as Preliminary or Final.
