This document describes the electrical characteristics, switching characteristics, and I/O timing for Stratix III devices. Electrical characteristics include operating conditions and power consumption. Switching characteristics include core performance specifications and periphery performance. A glossary is also included for your reference.
This document serves as a technical datasheet for the Altera Stratix III device family, covering both commercial and industrial grades. It defines the operating conditions, including speed grades (C2, C3, C4, C4L for commercial; I3, I4, I4L for industrial) and temperature ranges, alongside absolute maximum ratings to prevent device damage.
The text provides comprehensive specifications for DC characteristics, such as supply current, I/O pin leakage, and bus hold parameters. It also details on-chip termination (OCT) calibration accuracy and recommended operating conditions for various power supplies, including core voltage, I/O registers, and PLL supplies.
Commercial devices are offered in -2, -3, -4, and -4L speed grades.
Industrial devices are offered only in -3, -4, and -4L speed grades.
