1. Stratix III Device Family Overview
SIII51001-1.8
The Stratix ® III family provides one of the most architecturally advanced,
high-performance, low-power FPGAs in the marketplace.
Stratix III FPGAs lower power consumption through Altera’s innovative
Programmable Power Technology, which provides the ability to turn on the
performance where needed and turn down the power consumption for blocks not in
use. Selectable Core Voltage and the latest in silicon process optimizations are also
employed to deliver the industry’s lowest power, high-performance FPGAs.
Specifically designed for ease of use and rapid system integration, the Stratix III
FPGA family offers two variants optimized to meet different application needs:
■ The Stratix III L family provides balanced logic, memory, and multiplier ratios for
mainstream applications.
■ The Stratix III E family is memory- and multiplier-rich for data-centric
applications.
Modular I/O banks with a common bank structure for vertical migration lend
efficiency and flexibility to the high-speed I/O. Package and die enhancements with
dynamic on-chip termination, output delay, and current strength control provide
best-in-class signal integrity.
Based on a 1.1-V, 65-nm all-layer copper SRAM process, the Stratix III family is a
programmable alternative to custom ASICs and programmable processors for
high-performance logic, digital signal processing (DSP), and embedded designs.
Stratix III devices include optional configuration bit stream security through volatile
or non-volatile 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. Where
ultra-high reliability is required, Stratix III devices include automatic error detection
circuitry to detect data corruption by soft errors in the configuration random-access
memory (CRAM) and user memory cells.
Features Summary
Stratix III devices offer the following features:
■ 48,000 to 338,000 equivalent logic elements (LEs) (refer to Table 1–1)
■ 2,430 to 20,497 Kbits of enhanced TriMatrix memory consisting of three RAM
block sizes to implement true dual-port memory and FIFO buffers
■ High-speed DSP blocks provide dedicated implementation of 9×9, 12×12, 18×18,
and 36×36 multipliers (at up to 550 MHz), multiply-accumulate functions, and
finite impulse response (FIR) filters
■ I/O:GND:PWR ratio of 8:1:1 along with on-die and on-package decoupling for
robust signal integrity
■ Programmable Power Technology, which minimizes power while maximizing
device performance

(4) The EP3SL340 FPGA is offered only in the H1152 package, but not offered in the F1152 package.
(5) The EP3SE260 and EP3SL200 FPGAs are offered only in the H780 package, but not offered in the F780 package.
All Stratix III devices support vertical migration within the same package (for
example, you can migrate between the EP3SL50 and EP3SL70 devices in the 780-pin
FineLine BGA package). Vertical migration allows you to migrate to devices whose
dedicated pins, configuration pins, and power pins are the same for a given package
across device densities.
To ensure that a board layout supports migratable densities within one package
offering, enable the applicable vertical migration path within the Quartus® II
software. On the Assignments menu, point to Device and click Migration Devices.
You can migrate from the L family to the E family without increasing the number of
LEs available. This minimizes the cost of vertical migration.

The following section describes the various features of the Stratix III family FPGAs.
Logic Array Blocks and Adaptive Logic Modules

The Logic Array Block (LAB) is composed of basic building blocks known as
Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) that can be configured to implement logic,
arithmetic, and register functions. Each LAB consists of ten ALMs, carry chains,
shared arithmetic chains, LAB control signals, local interconnect, and register chain
connection lines. ALMs are part of a unique, innovative logic structure that delivers
faster performance, minimizes area, and reduces power consumption. ALMs expand
the traditional 4-input look-up table architecture to 7 inputs, increasing performance
by reducing LEs, logic levels, and associated routing. In addition, ALMs maximize
DSP performance with dedicated functionality to efficiently implement adder trees
and other complex arithmetic functions. The Quartus II Compiler places associated
logic in an LAB or adjacent LABs, allowing the use of local, shared arithmetic chain,
and register chain connections for performance and area efficiency.
The Stratix III LAB has a new derivative called Memory LAB (or MLAB), which adds
SRAM memory capability to the LAB. MLAB is a superset of the LAB and includes all
LAB features. MLABs support a maximum of 320 bits of simple dual-port Static
Random Access Memory (SRAM). Each ALM in an MLAB can be configured as a
16×2 block, resulting in a configuration of 16×20 simple dual port SRAM block. MLAB
and LAB blocks always co-exist as pairs in all Stratix III families, allowing up to 50%
of the logic (LABs) to be traded for memory (MLABs).
f For more information about LABs and ALMs, refer to the Logic Array Blocks and
Adaptive Logic Modules in Stratix III Devices chapter.
f For more information about MLAB modes, features and design considerations, refer
to the TriMatrix Embedded Memory Blocks in Stratix III Devices chapter.

MultiTrack Interconnect
In the Stratix III architecture, connections between ALMs, TriMatrix memory, DSP
blocks, and device I/O pins are provided by the MultiTrack interconnect structure
with DirectDrive technology. The MultiTrack interconnect consists of continuous,
performance-optimized row and column interconnects that span fixed distances. A
routing structure with fixed length resources for all devices allows predictable and
repeatable performance when migrating through different device densities. The
MultiTrack interconnect provides 1-hop connection to 34 adjacent LABs, 2-hop
connections to 96 adjacent LABs and 3-hop connections to 160 adjacent LABs.
DirectDrive technology is a deterministic routing technology that ensures identical
routing resource usage for any function regardless of placement in the device. The
MultiTrack interconnect and DirectDrive technology simplify the integration stage of
block-based designing by eliminating the reoptimization cycles that typically follow
design changes and additions. The Quartus II Compiler also automatically places
critical design paths on faster interconnects to improve design performance.
f For more information, refer to the MultiTrack Interconnect in Stratix III Devices chapter.
TriMatrix Embedded Memory Blocks

TriMatrix embedded memory blocks provide three different sizes of embedded
SRAM to efficiently address the needs of Stratix III FPGA designs. TriMatrix memory
includes the following blocks:
■ 320-bit MLAB blocks optimized to implement filter delay lines, small FIFO buffers,
and shift registers
■ 9-Kbit M9K blocks that can be used for general purpose memory applications
■ 144-Kbit M144K blocks that are ideal for processor code storage, packet and video
frame buffering
Each embedded memory block can be independently configured to be a single- or
dual-port RAM, ROM, or shift register via the Quartus II MegaWizardTM Plug-In
Manager. Multiple blocks of the same type can also be stitched together to produce
larger memories with minimal timing penalty. TriMatrix memory provides up to
16,272 Kbits of embedded SRAM at up to 600 MHz operation.
f For more information about TriMatrix memory blocks, modes, features, and design
considerations, refer to the TriMatrix Embedded Memory Blocks in Stratix III Devices
chapter.
DSP Blocks
Stratix III devices have dedicated high-performance digital signal processing (DSP)
blocks optimized for DSP applications requiring high data throughput. Stratix III
devices provide you with the ability to implement various high-performance DSP
functions easily. Complex systems such as WiMAX, 3GPP WCDMA, CDMA2000,
voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), H.264 video compression, and high-definition
television (HDTV) require high-performance DSP blocks to process data. These
system designs typically use DSP blocks to implement finite impulse response (FIR)
filters, complex FIR filters, infinite impulse response (IIR) filters, fast Fourier
transform (FFT) functions, and discrete cosine transform (DCT) functions.

Stratix III devices have up to 112 DSP blocks. The architectural highlights of the
Stratix III DSP block are the following:
■ High-performance, power optimized, fully pipelined multiplication operations
■ Native support for 9-bit, 12-bit, 18-bit, and 36-bit word lengths
■ Native support for 18-bit complex multiplications
■ Efficient support for floating point arithmetic formats (24-bit for Single Precision
and 53-bit for Double Precision)
■ Signed and unsigned input support
■ Built-in addition, subtraction, and accumulation units to efficiently combine
multiplication results
■ Cascading 18-bit input bus to form tap-delay lines
■ Cascading 44-bit output bus to propagate output results from one block to the next
block
■ Rich and flexible arithmetic rounding and saturation units
■ Efficient barrel shifter support
■ Loopback capability to support adaptive filtering
DSP block multipliers can optionally feed an adder/subtractor or accumulator in the
block depending on user configuration. This option saves ALM routing resources and
increases performance, because all connections and blocks are inside the DSP block.
Additionally, the DSP Block input registers can efficiently implement shift registers
for FIR filter applications, and the Stratix III DSP blocks support rounding and
saturation. The Quartus II software includes megafunctions that control the mode of
operation of the DSP blocks based on user parameter settings.
f For more information, refer to the DSP Blocks in Stratix III Devices chapter.
Clock Networks and PLLs

Stratix III devices provide dedicated Global Clock Networks (GCLKs), Regional Clock
Networks (RCLKs), and Periphery Clock Networks (PCLKs). These clocks are
organized into a hierarchical clock structure that provides up to 104 unique clock
domains (16 GCLK + 88 RCLK) within the Stratix III device and allows for up to 38 (16
GCLK + 22 RCLK) unique GCLK/RCLK clock sources per device quadrant.
Stratix III devices deliver abundant PLL resources with up to 12 PLLs per device and
up to 10 outputs per PLL. Every output can be independently programmed, creating a
unique, customizable clock frequency. Inherent jitter filtration and fine granularity
control over multiply, divide ratios, and dynamic phase-shift reconfiguration provide
the high-performance precision required in today’s high-speed applications. Stratix III
PLLs are feature rich, supporting advanced capabilities such as clock switchover,
reconfigurable phase shift, PLL reconfiguration, and reconfigurable bandwidth. PLLs
can be used for general-purpose clock management supporting multiplication, phase
shifting, and programmable duty cycle. Stratix III PLLs also support external
feedback mode, spread-spectrum input clock tracking, and post-scale counter
cascading.

f For more information, refer to the Clock Networks and PLLs in Stratix III Devices
chapter.
I/O Banks and I/O Structure

Stratix III devices contain up to 24 modular I/O banks, each of which contains 24, 32,
36, 40, or 48 I/Os. This modular bank structure improves pin efficiency and eases
device migration. The I/O banks contain circuitry to support external memory
interfaces at speeds up to 533 MHz and high-speed differential I/O interfaces meeting
up to 1.6 Gbps performance. It also supports high-speed differential inputs and
outputs running at speeds up to 800 MHz.
Stratix III devices support a wide range of industry I/O standards, including
single-ended, voltage referenced single-ended, and differential I/O standards. The
Stratix III I/O supports programmable bus hold, programmable pull-up resistor,
programmable slew rate, programmable drive strength, programmable output delay
control, and open-drain output. Stratix III devices also support on-chip series (RS) and
on-chip parallel (RT) termination with auto calibration for single-ended I/O standards
and on-chip differential termination (RD) for LVDS I/O standards on Left/Right I/O
banks. Dynamic OCT is also supported on bi-directional I/O pins in all I/O banks.
f For more information, refer to the Stratix III Device I/O Features chapter.
External Memory Interfaces

The Stratix III I/O structure has been completely redesigned to provide flexibility and
enable high-performance support for existing and emerging external memory
standards such as DDR, DDR2, DDR3, QDR II, QDR II+, and RLDRAM II at
frequencies of up to 533 MHz.
Packed with features such as dynamic on-chip termination, trace mismatch
compensation, read/write leveling, half-rate registers, and 4-to 36-bit programmable
DQ group widths, Stratix III I/Os supply the built-in functionality required for rapid
and robust implementation of external memory interfaces. Double data-rate support
is found on all sides of the Stratix III device. Stratix III devices provide an efficient
architecture to quickly and easily fit wide external memory interfaces exactly where
you want them.
A self-calibrating soft IP core (ALTMEMPHY), optimized to take advantage of the
Stratix III device I/O, along with the Quartus II timing analysis tool (TimeQuest),
provide the total solution for the highest reliable frequency of operation across
process voltage and temperature.
f For more information about external memory interfaces, refer to the External Memory
Interfaces in Stratix III Devices chapter.
High-Speed Differential I/O Interfaces with DPA

Stratix III devices contain dedicated circuitry for supporting differential standards at
speeds up to 1.6 Gbps. The high-speed differential I/O circuitry supports the
following high-speed I/O interconnect standards and applications: Utopia IV, SPI-4.2,
SFI-4, 10 Gigabit Ethernet XSBI, Rapid I/O, and NPSI. Stratix III devices support 2×,
4×, 6×, 7×, 8×, and 10× SERDES modes for high-speed differential I/O interfaces and

4×, 6×, 7×, 8×, and 10× SERDES modes when using the dedicated DPA circuitry. DPA
minimizes bit errors, simplifies PCB layout and timing management for high-speed
data transfer, and eliminates channel-to-channel and channel-to-clock skew in
high-speed data transmission systems. Soft CDR can also be implemented, enabling
low-cost 1.6-Gbps clock embedded serial links.
Stratix III devices have the following dedicated circuitry for high-speed differential
I/O support:
■ Differential I/O buffer
■ Transmitter serializer
■ Receiver deserializer
■ Data realignment
■ Dynamic phase aligner (DPA)
■ Soft CDR functionality
■ Synchronizer (FIFO buffer)
■ PLLs
f For more information, refer to the High Speed Differential I/O Interfaces with DPA in
Stratix III Devices chapter.
Hot Socketing and Power-On Reset

Stratix III devices are hot-socketing compliant. Hot socketing is also known as hot
plug-in or hot swap, and power sequencing support without the use of any external
devices. Robust on-chip hot-socketing and power-sequencing support ensures proper
device operation independent of the power-up sequence. You can insert or remove a
Stratix III board in a system during system operation without causing undesirable
effects to the running system bus or the board that was inserted into the system.
The hot-socketing feature makes it easier to use Stratix III devices on PCBs that also
contain a mixture of 3.3-V, 3.0-V, 2.5-V, 1.8-V, 1.5-V, and 1.2-V devices. With the
Stratix III hot socketing feature, you do not need to ensure a specific power-up
sequence for each device on the board.
f For more information, refer to the Hot Socketing and Power-On Reset in Stratix III
Devices chapter.
Configuration
Stratix III devices are configured using one of the following four configuration
schemes:
■ Fast passive parallel (FPP)
■ Fast active serial (AS)
■ Passive serial (PS)
■ Joint Test Action Group (JTAG)
All configuration schemes use either an external controller (for example, a MAX® II
device or microprocessor), a configuration device, or a download cable.

Stratix III devices support configuration data decompression, which saves

configuration memory space and time. This feature allows you to store compressed
configuration data in configuration devices or other memory and transmit this
compressed bitstream to Stratix III devices. During configuration, the Stratix III
device decompresses the bitstream in real time and programs its SRAM cells.
Stratix III devices support decompression in the FPP when using a MAX II
device/microprocessor plus flash, fast AS, and PS configuration schemes. The
Stratix III decompression feature is not available in the FPP when using the enhanced
configuration device and JTAG configuration schemes.
f For more information, refer to the Configuring Stratix III Devices chapter.
Remote System Upgrades

Stratix III devices feature remote system upgrade capability, allowing error-free
deployment of system upgrades from a remote location securely and reliably. Soft
logic (either the Nios embedded processor or user logic) implemented in a Stratix III
device can download a new configuration image from a remote location, store it in
configuration memory, and direct the dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry to
initiate a reconfiguration cycle. The dedicated circuitry performs error detection
during and after the configuration process, and can recover from an error condition
by reverting back to a safe configuration image, and provides error status
information. This dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry is unique to Stratix
series FPGAs and helps to avoid system downtime.
f For more information, refer to the Remote System Upgrades with Stratix III Devices
chapter.
IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary-Scan Testing

Stratix III devices support the JTAG IEEE Std. 1149.1 specification. The Boundary-Scan
Test (BST) architecture offers the capability to test pin connections without using
physical test probes and capture functional data while a device is operating normally.
Boundary-scan cells in the Stratix III device can force signals onto pins or capture data
from pin or logic array signals. Forced test data is serially shifted into the
boundary-scan cells. Captured data is serially shifted out and externally compared to
expected results. In addition to BST, you can use the IEEE Std. 1149.1 controller for
Stratix III device in-circuit reconfiguration (ICR).
f For more information, refer to the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary Scan Testing in
Design Security
Stratix III devices are high-density, high-performance FPGAs with support for 256-bit
volatile and non-volatile security keys to protect designs against copying, reverse
engineering, and tampering. Stratix III devices have the ability to decrypt a
configuration bitstream using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm,
an industry standard encryption algorithm that is FIPS-197 certified and requires a
256-bit security key.

The design security feature is available when configuring Stratix III FPGAs using the
fast passive parallel (FPP) configuration mode with an external host (such as a MAX II
device or microprocessor), or when using fast active serial (AS) or passive serial (PS)
configuration schemes.
f For more information about the design security feature, refer to the Design Security in
SEU Mitigation
Stratix III devices have built-in error detection circuitry to detect data corruption due
to soft errors in the configuration random-access memory (CRAM) cells. This feature
allows all CRAM contents to be read and verified continuously during user mode
operation to match a configuration-computed CRC value. The enhanced CRC circuit
and frame-based configuration architecture allows detection and location of multiple,
single, and adjacent bit errors which, in conjunction with a soft circuit supplied as a
reference design, allows don’t-care soft errors in the CRAM to be ignored during
device operation. This provides a steep decrease in the effective soft error rate,
increasing system reliability.
On-chip memory block SEU mitigation is also offered using the ninth bit and a
configurable megafunction in the Quartus II software for MLAB and M9K blocks
while the M144K memory blocks have built-in error correction code (ECC) circuitry.
f For more information about the dedicated error detection circuitry, refer to the SEU
Mitigation in Stratix III Devices chapter.
Programmable Power
Stratix III delivers Programmable Power, the only FPGA with user programmable
power options balancing today’s power and performance requirements. Stratix III
devices utilize the most advanced power-saving techniques, including a variety of
process, circuit, and architecture optimizations and innovations. In addition, user
controllable power reduction techniques provide an optimal balance of performance
and power reduction specific for each design configured into the Stratix III FPGA. The
Quartus II software (starting from version 6.1) automatically optimizes designs to
meet the performance goals while simultaneously leveraging the programmable
power-saving options available in the Stratix III FPGA without the need for any
changes to the design flow.

Reference and Ordering Information
Signal Integrity
Stratix III devices simplify the challenge of signal integrity through a number of chip,
package, and board level enhancements to enable efficient high-speed data transfer
into and out of the device. These enhancements include:
■ 8:1:1 user I/O/Gnd/VCC ratio to reduce the loop inductance in the package
■ Dedicated power supply for each I/O bank, limit of I/Os is 24 to 48 I/Os per bank,
to help limit simultaneous switching noise
■ Programmable slew-rate support with up to four settings to match desired I/O
standard, control noise, and overshoot
■ Programmable output-current drive strength support with up to six settings to
match desired I/O standard performance
■ Programmable output-delay support to control rise/fall times and adjust duty
cycle, compensate for skew, and reduce simultaneous switching outputs (SSO)
noise
■ Dynamic OCT with auto calibration support for series and parallel OCT and
differential OCT support for LVDS I/O standard on the left/right banks

Introduction
This chapter describes the features of the logic array block (LAB) in the Stratix® III
core fabric. The logic array block is composed of basic building blocks known as
adaptive logic modules (ALMs) that can be configured to implement logic functions,
arithmetic functions, and register functions.
Logic Array Blocks

Each LAB consists of ten ALMs, carry chains, shared arithmetic chains, LAB control
signals, local interconnect, and register chain connection lines. The local interconnect
transfers signals between ALMs in the same LAB. The direct link interconnect allows
a LAB to drive into the local interconnect of its left and right neighbors. Register chain
connections transfer the output of the ALM register to the adjacent ALM register in an
LAB. The Quartus® II Compiler places associated logic in an LAB or adjacent LABs,
allowing the use of local, shared arithmetic chain, and register chain connections for
performance and area efficiency. Figure 2–1 shows the Stratix III LAB structure and
the LAB interconnects.

The LAB of Stratix III has a new derivative called Memory LAB (MLAB), which adds
look-up table (LUT)-based SRAM capability to the LAB as shown in Figure 2–2. The
MLAB supports a maximum of 320-bits of simple dual-port static random access
memory (SRAM). You can configure each ALM in an MLAB as a 16 × 2 block,
resulting in a configuration of 16 × 20 simple dual port SRAM block. MLAB and LAB
blocks always co-exist as pairs in all Stratix III families. MLAB is a superset of the LAB
and includes all LAB features. Figure 2–2 shows an overview of LAB and MLAB
topology.
f The MLAB is described in detail in the TriMatrix Embedded Memory Blocks in Stratix III
Devices chapter in volume 1 of the Stratix III Device Handbook.

LAB Interconnects
The LAB local interconnect can drive ALMs in the same LAB. It is driven by column
and row interconnects and ALM outputs in the same LAB. Neighboring
LABs/MLABs, M9K RAM blocks, M144K blocks, or DSP blocks from the left and
right can also drive a LAB's local interconnect through the direct link connection. The
direct link connection feature minimizes the use of row and column interconnects,
providing higher performance and flexibility. Each ALM can drive 30 ALMs through
fast local and direct link interconnects.

LAB Control Signals

Each LAB contains dedicated logic for driving control signals to its ALMs. The control
signals include three clocks, three clock enables, two asynchronous clears, a
synchronous clear, and synchronous load control signals. This gives a maximum of 10
control signals at a time. Although you generally use synchronous load and clear
signals when implementing counters, you can also use them with other functions.
Each LAB has two unique clock sources and three clock enable signals, as shown in
Figure 2–4. The LAB control block can generate up to three clocks using the two clock
sources and three clock enable signals. Each LAB's clock and clock enable signals are
linked. For example, any ALM in a particular LAB using the labclk1 signal also uses
labclkena1 signal. If the LAB uses both the rising and falling edges of a clock, it also
uses two LAB-wide clock signals. De-asserting the clock enable signal turns off the
corresponding LAB-wide clock.
The LAB row clocks [5..0] and LAB local interconnect generate the LAB-wide control
signals. The MultiTrackTM interconnect's inherent low skew allows clock and control
signal distribution in addition to data. Figure 2–4shows the LAB control signal
generation circuit.

The basic building block of logic in the Stratix III architecture, the adaptive logic
module (ALM), provides advanced features with efficient logic utilization. Each ALM
contains a variety of look-up table (LUT)-based resources that can be divided between
two combinational adaptive LUTs (ALUTs) and two registers. With up to eight inputs
to the two combinational ALUTs, one ALM can implement various combinations of
two functions. This adaptability allows an ALM to be completely backward-
compatible with four-input LUT architectures. One ALM can also implement any
function of up to six inputs and certain seven-input functions.
In addition to the adaptive LUT-based resources, each ALM contains two
programmable registers, two dedicated full adders, a carry chain, a shared arithmetic
chain, and a register chain. Through these dedicated resources, an ALM can efficiently
implement various arithmetic functions and shift registers. Each ALM drives all types
of interconnects: local, row, column, carry chain, shared arithmetic chain, register
chain, and direct link interconnects. Figure 2–5 shows a high-level block diagram of
the Stratix III ALM while Figure 2–6 shows a detailed view of all the connections in an
ALM.

One ALM contains two programmable registers. Each register has data, clock, clock
enable, synchronous and asynchronous clear, and synchronous load/clear inputs.
Global signals, general-purpose I/O pins, or any internal logic can drive the register's
clock and clear control signals. Either general-purpose I/O pins or internal logic can
drive the clock enable. For combinational functions, the register is bypassed and the
output of the LUT drives directly to the outputs of an ALM.

Each ALM has two sets of outputs that drive the local, row, and column routing
resources. The LUT, adder, or register output can drive these output drivers (refer to
Figure 2–6). For each set of output drivers, two ALM outputs can drive column, row,
or direct link routing connections, and one of these ALM outputs can also drive local
interconnect resources. This allows the LUT or adder to drive one output while the
register drives another output.
This feature, called register packing, improves device utilization because the device
can use the register and the combinational logic for unrelated functions. Another
special packing mode allows the register output to feed back into the LUT of the same
ALM so that the register is packed with its own fan-out LUT. This provides another
mechanism for improved fitting. The ALM can also drive out registered and
unregistered versions of the LUT or adder output.
ALM Operating Modes

The Stratix III ALM can operate in one of the following modes:
■ Normal
■ Extended LUT Mode
■ Arithmetic
■ Shared Arithmetic
■ LUT-Register
Each mode uses ALM resources differently. In each mode, eleven available inputs to
an ALM—the eight data inputs from the LAB local interconnect, carry-in from the
previous ALM or LAB, the shared arithmetic chain connection from the previous
ALM or LAB, and the register chain connection—are directed to different destinations
to implement the desired logic function. LAB-wide signals provide clock,
asynchronous clear, synchronous clear, synchronous load, and clock enable control for
the register. These LAB-wide signals are available in all ALM modes.
1 Refer to “LAB Control Signals” on page 2–4 for more information on the LAB-wide
control signals.
The Quartus II software and supported third-party synthesis tools, in conjunction

with parameterized functions such as the library of parameterized modules (LPM)
functions, automatically choose the appropriate mode for common functions such as
counters, adders, subtractors, and arithmetic functions.
Normal Mode
The normal mode is suitable for general logic applications and combinational
functions. In this mode, up to eight data inputs from the LAB local interconnect are
inputs to the combinational logic. The normal mode allows two functions to be
implemented in one Stratix III ALM, or an ALM to implement a single function of up
to six inputs. The ALM can support certain combinations of completely independent
functions and various combinations of functions that have common inputs. Figure 2–7
shows the supported LUT combinations in normal mode.

(1) Combinations of functions with fewer inputs than those shown are also supported. For example, combinations of functions with the following
number of inputs are supported: 4 and 3, 3 and 3, 3 and 2, 5 and 2.
The normal mode provides complete backward compatibility with four-input LUT
architectures.
For the packing of 2 five-input functions into one ALM, the functions must have at
least two common inputs. The common inputs are dataa and datab. The
combination of a four-input function with a five-input function requires one common
input (either dataa or datab).

In the case of implementing 2 six-input functions in one ALM, four inputs must be
shared and the combinational function must be the same. For example, a 4 × 2
crossbar switch (two 4-to-1 multiplexers with common inputs and unique select lines)
can be implemented in one ALM, as shown in Figure 2–8. The shared inputs are
dataa, datab, datac, and datad, while the unique select lines are datae0 and
dataf0 for function0, and datae1 and dataf1 for function1. This crossbar
switch consumes four LUTs in a four-input LUT-based architecture.

In a sparsely used device, functions that could be placed into one ALM may be
implemented in separate ALMs by the Quartus II software in order to achieve the best
possible performance. As a device begins to fill up, the Quartus II software
automatically utilizes the full potential of the Stratix III ALM. The Quartus II
Compiler automatically searches for functions of common inputs or completely
independent functions to be placed into one ALM and to make efficient use of the
device resources. In addition, you can manually control resource usage by setting
location assignments.
Any six-input function can be implemented utilizing inputs dataa, datab, datac,
datad, and either datae0 and dataf0 or datae1 and dataf1. If datae0 and
dataf0 are utilized, the output is driven to register0, and/or register0 is
bypassed and the data drives out to the interconnect using the top set of output
drivers (refer to Figure 2–9). If datae1 and dataf1 are utilized, the output drives to
register1 and/or bypasses register1 and drives to the interconnect using the
bottom set of output drivers. The Quartus II Compiler automatically selects the inputs
to the LUT. ALMs in normal mode support register packing.

Notes to Figure 2–9:

(1) If datae1 and dataf1 are used as inputs to the six-input function, then datae0 and dataf0 are available for register packing.
(2) The dataf1 input is available for register packing only if the six-input function is un-registered.
Extended LUT Mode

Use the extended LUT mode to implement a specific set of seven-input functions. The
set must be a 2-to-1 multiplexer fed by two arbitrary five-input functions sharing four
inputs. Figure 2–10 shows the template of supported seven-input functions utilizing
extended LUT mode. In this mode, if the seven-input function is unregistered, the
unused eighth input is available for register packing.
Functions that fit into the template shown in Figure 2–10 occur naturally in designs.
These functions often appear in designs as "if-else" statements in Verilog HDL or
VHDL code.

Arithmetic Mode
The arithmetic mode is ideal for implementing adders, counters, accumulators, wide
parity functions, and comparators. The ALM in arithmetic mode uses two sets of 2
four-input LUTs along with two dedicated full adders. The dedicated adders allow
the LUTs to be available to perform pre-adder logic; therefore, each adder can add the
output of 2 four-input functions.

The four LUTs share the dataa and datab inputs. As shown in Figure 2–11, the
carry-in signal feeds to adder0, and the carry-out from adder0 feeds to carry-in of
adder1. The carry-out from adder1 drives to adder0 of the next ALM in the LAB.
ALMs in arithmetic mode can drive out registered and/or unregistered versions of
the adder outputs.

carry_out
While operating in arithmetic mode, the ALM can support simultaneous use of the
adder's carry output along with combinational logic outputs. In this operation, the
adder output is ignored. This usage of the adder with the combinational logic output
provides resource savings of up to 50% for functions that can use this ability. An
example of such functionality is a conditional operation, such as the one shown in
Figure 2–12.

Logic
The equation for this example is:

R = (X < Y) ? Y : X
To implement this function, the adder is used to subtract Y from X. If X is less than Y,
the carry_out signal is 1. The carry_out signal is fed to an adder where it drives
out to the LAB local interconnect. It then feeds to the LAB-wide syncload signal.
When asserted, syncload selects the syncdata input. In this case, the data Y drives
the syncdata inputs to the registers. If X is greater than or equal to Y, the syncload
signal is de-asserted and X drives the data port of the registers.
The arithmetic mode also offers clock enable, counter enable, synchronous up/down
control, add/subtract control, synchronous clear, and synchronous load. The LAB
local interconnect data inputs generate the clock enable, counter enable, synchronous
up/down, and add/subtract control signals. These control signals are good
candidates for the inputs that are shared between the four LUTs in the ALM. The
synchronous clear and synchronous load options are LAB-wide signals that affect all
registers in the LAB. These signals can also be individually disabled or enabled per
register. The Quartus II software automatically places any registers that are not used
by the counter into other LABs.

Carry Chain
The carry chain provides a fast carry function between the dedicated adders in
arithmetic or shared arithmetic mode. The two-bit carry select feature in Stratix III
devices halves the propagation delay of carry chains within the ALM. Carry chains
can begin in either the first ALM or the sixth ALM in an LAB. The final carry-out
signal is routed to a ALM, where it is fed to local, row, or column interconnects.
The Quartus II Compiler automatically creates carry chain logic during design
processing, or you can create it manually during design entry. Parameterized
functions such as LPM functions automatically take advantage of carry chains for the
appropriate functions.
The Quartus II Compiler creates carry chains longer than 20 (10 ALMs in arithmetic or
shared arithmetic mode) by linking LABs together automatically. For enhanced
fitting, a long carry chain runs vertically allowing fast horizontal connections to
TriMatrix™ memory and DSP blocks. A carry chain can continue as far as a full
column.
To avoid routing congestion in one small area of the device when a high fan-in
arithmetic function is implemented, the LAB can support carry chains that only utilize
either the top half or the bottom half of the LAB before connecting to the next LAB.
This leaves the other half of the ALMs in the LAB available for implementing
narrower fan-in functions in normal mode. Carry chains that use the top five ALMs in
the first LAB carry into the top half of the ALMs in the next LAB within the column.
Carry chains that use the bottom five ALMs in the first LAB carry into the bottom half
of the ALMs in the next LAB within the column. In every alternate LAB column, the
top half can be bypassed; in the other MLAB columns, the bottom half can be
bypassed.
1 For more information on carry chain interconnect, refer to “ALM Interconnects” on

page 2–20.
Shared Arithmetic Mode

In shared arithmetic mode, the ALM can implement a three-input add within an
ALM. In this mode, the ALM is configured with 4 four-input LUTs. Each LUT either
computes the sum of three inputs or the carry of three inputs. The output of the carry
computation is fed to the next adder (either to adder1 in the same ALM or to adder0
of the next ALM in the LAB) via a dedicated connection called the shared arithmetic
chain. This shared arithmetic chain can significantly improve the performance of an
adder tree by reducing the number of summation stages required to implement an
adder tree. Figure 2–13 shows the ALM using this feature.

You can find adder trees in many different applications. For example, the summation
of the partial products in a logic-based multiplier can be implemented in a tree
structure. Another example is a correlator function that can use a large adder tree to
sum filtered data samples in a given time frame to recover or to de-spread data that
was transmitted utilizing spread spectrum technology.
An example of a three-bit add operation utilizing the shared arithmetic mode is
shown in Figure 2–14. The partial sum (S[3..0]) and the partial carry (C[3..0]) is
obtained using the LUTs, while the result (R[3..0]) is computed using the dedicated
adders.

Shared Arithmetic Chain

The shared arithmetic chain available in enhanced arithmetic mode allows the ALM
to implement a three-input add. This significantly reduces the resources necessary to
implement large adder trees or correlator functions.
The shared arithmetic chains can begin in either the first or sixth ALM in an LAB. The
Quartus II Compiler creates shared arithmetic chains longer than 20 (10 ALMs in
arithmetic or shared arithmetic mode) by linking LABs together automatically. For
enhanced fitting, a long shared arithmetic chain runs vertically allowing fast
horizontal connections to TriMatrix memory and DSP blocks. A shared arithmetic
chain can continue as far as a full column.
Similar to the carry chains, the top and bottom half of shared arithmetic chains in
alternate LAB columns can be bypassed. This capability allows the shared arithmetic
chain to cascade through half of the ALMs in a LAB while leaving the other half
available for narrower fan-in functionality. Every other LAB column is top-half
bypassable, while the other LAB columns are bottom-half bypassable.

1 Refer to “ALM Interconnects” on page 2–20 for more information on shared

arithmetic chain interconnect.
LUT-Register Mode
LUT-Register mode allows third register capability within an ALM. Two internal
feedback loops allow combinational ALUT1 to implement the master latch and
combinational ALUT0 to implement the slave latch needed for the third register. The
LUT register shares its clock, clock enable, and asynchronous clear sources with the
top dedicated register. Figure 2–15 shows the register constructed using two
combinational blocks within the ALM. Figure 2–16 shows the ALM in LUT-Register
mode.

Register Chain
In addition to the general routing outputs, the ALMs in an LAB have register chain
outputs. The register chain routing allows registers in the same LAB to be cascaded
together. The register chain interconnect allows a LAB to use LUTs for a single
combinational function and the registers to be used for an unrelated shift register
implementation. These resources speed up connections between ALMs while saving
local interconnect resources (refer to Figure 2–17). The Quartus II Compiler
automatically takes advantage of these resources to improve utilization and
performance.

ALM Interconnects
There are three dedicated paths between ALMs: Register Cascade, Carry-chain, and
Shared Arithmetic chain. Stratix III devices include an enhanced interconnect
structure in LABs for routing shared arithmetic chains and carry chains for efficient
arithmetic functions. The register chain connection allows the register output of one
ALM to connect directly to the register input of the next ALM in the LAB for fast shift
registers. These ALM-to-ALM connections bypass the local interconnect. The
Quartus II Compiler automatically takes advantage of these resources to improve
utilization and performance.Figure 2–18 shows the shared arithmetic chain, carry
chain, and register chain interconnects.

Clear and Preset Logic Control

LAB-wide signals control the logic for the register's clear signal. The ALM directly
supports an asynchronous clear function. You can achieve the register preset through
the Quartus II software’s NOT-gate push-back logic option. Each LAB supports up to
two clears.
Stratix III devices provide a device-wide reset pin (DEV_CLRn) that resets all registers
in the device. An option set before compilation in the Quartus II software controls this
pin. This device-wide reset overrides all other control signals.

Conclusion
LAB Power Management Techniques

The following techniques are used to manage static and dynamic power consumption
within the LAB:
■ Stratix III low-voltage devices (L ordering code suffix) offer selectable core voltage
to reduce both DC and AC power.
■ To save AC power, Quartus II forces all adder inputs low when ALM adders are
not in use.
■ Stratix III LABs operate in high-performance mode or low-power mode. The
Quartus II software automatically chooses the appropriate mode for an LAB based
on the design to optimize speed vs. leakage trade-offs.
■ Clocks represent a significant portion of dynamic power consumption due to their
high switching activity and long paths. The LAB clock that distributes a clock
signal to registers within a LAB is a significant contributor to overall clock power
consumption. Each LAB's clock and clock enable signal are linked. For example, a
combinational ALUT or register in a particular LAB using the labclk1 signal also
uses the labclkena1 signal. To disable LAB-wide clock power consumption
without disabling the entire clock tree, use the LAB-wide clock enable to gate the
LAB-wide clock. The Quartus II software automatically promotes register-level
clock enable signals to the LAB-level. All registers within an LAB that share a
common clock and clock enable are controlled by a shared gated clock. To take
advantage of these clock enables, use a clock enable construct in your HDL code
for the registered logic.

details on implementation.

the Programmable Power and Temperature Sensing Diode in Stratix III Devices chapter in
volume 1 of the Stratix III Device Handbook.
Conclusion
Logic array block and adaptive logic modules are the basic building blocks of the
Stratix III device. You can use these to configure logic functions, arithmetic functions,
and register functions. The ALM provides advanced features with efficient logic
utilization and is completely backward-compatible.

3. MultiTrack Interconnect in Stratix III
Devices
SIII51003-1.2
Introduction
Stratix ® III devices contain a two-dimensional row- and column-based architecture to
implement custom logic. A series of column and row interconnects of varying length
and speed provides signal interconnects between logic array blocks (LABs), memory
block structures, digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, and input/output elements
(IOE). These blocks communicate with themselves and to one another through a
fabric of routing wires. This chapter provides details on the Stratix III core routing
structure. It also describes how Stratix III block types interface to this fabric.
In the Stratix III architecture, connections between adaptive logic modules (ALMs),
TriMatrix memory, DSP blocks, and device I/O pins are provided by the MultiTrack
interconnect structure with DirectDrive technology. The MultiTrack interconnect
consists of continuous, performance-optimized routing lines of different lengths and
speeds used for inter- and intra-design block connectivity. The Quartus® II Compiler
automatically routes critical design paths on faster interconnects to improve design
performance.
DirectDrive technology is a deterministic routing technology that ensures identical
routing resource usage for any function regardless of placement in the device. The
MultiTrack interconnect and DirectDrive technology simplify the integration stage of
block-based designing by eliminating the re-optimization cycles that typically follow
design changes and additions.
The MultiTrack interconnect consists of row and column interconnects that span fixed
distances. A routing structure with fixed length resources for all devices allows
predictable and repeatable performance when migrating through different device
densities.
Row Interconnects
Dedicated row interconnects route signals to and from LABs, DSP blocks, and
TriMatrix memory blocks in the same row. These row interconnect resources include:
■ Direct link interconnects between LABs and adjacent blocks
■ R4 interconnects traversing four blocks to the right or left
■ R20 row interconnects for high-speed access across the length of the device
The direct link interconnect allows a LAB, DSP block, or TriMatrix memory block to
drive into the local interconnect of its left and right neighbors. This capability
provides fast communication between adjacent LABs and blocks without using row
interconnect resources. The direct link interconnect is the fastest way to communicate
between two adjacent blocks.
The R4 interconnects span a combination of four LABs, memory logic array blocks
(MLAB), DSP blocks, M9K blocks, and M144K blocks. Use these resources for fast row
connections in a four-LAB region. Figure 3–1 shows R4 interconnect connections from
a LAB. R4 interconnects can drive and be driven by DSP blocks and RAM blocks and
row IOEs. For LAB interfacing, a primary LAB or LAB neighbor can drive a given R4

interconnect. For R4 interconnects that drive to the right, the primary LAB and right
neighbor can drive to the interconnect. For R4 interconnects that drive to the left, the
primary LAB and its left neighbor can drive the interconnect. R4 interconnects can
drive other R4 interconnects to extend the range of LABs they drive. R4 interconnects
can also drive C4 and C12 (column interconnects) for connections from one row to
another. Additionally, R4 interconnects can drive R20 interconnects.

(2) This pattern is repeated for every LAB in the LAB row.
R20 row interconnects span 20 LABs and provide the fastest resource for row
connections between distant LABs, TriMatrix memory, DSP blocks, and row IOEs. R20
row interconnects drive LAB local interconnects via R4 and C4 interconnects. R20
interconnects can drive R20, R4, C12, and C4 interconnects.
The column interconnect operates similarly to the row interconnect. It vertically
routes signals to and from LABs, TriMatrix memory, DSP blocks, and IOEs. Each
column of LABs is served by a dedicated column interconnect. These column
interconnect resources include:
■ Shared arithmetic chain interconnects in a LAB and from LAB to LAB
■ Carry chain interconnects in a LAB and from LAB to LAB
■ Register chain interconnects in a LAB
■ C4 interconnects traversing a distance of four blocks in the same device column
■ C12 column interconnects for high-speed vertical routing through the device

Chapter 3: MultiTrack Interconnect in Stratix III Devices 3–3
Stratix III devices include an enhanced interconnect structure in LABs for

routing-shared arithmetic chains and carry chains for efficient arithmetic functions.
The register chain connection allows the register output of one ALM to connect
directly to the register input of the next ALM in the LAB for fast shift registers. These
ALM-to-ALM connections bypass the local interconnect. The Quartus II Compiler
automatically takes advantage of these resources to improve utilization and
performance. Figure 3–2 shows the shared arithmetic chain, carry chain, and register
chain interconnects.

The C4 interconnects span four adjacent interfaces in the same device column. C4
interconnects also pass by M144K and DSP blocks. A single M144K block utilizes
eight adjacent interfaces in the same column. A DSP block utilizes four adjacent
interfaces in the same column. Figure 3–3 shows the C4 interconnect connections from
a LAB in a column. The C4 interconnects can drive and be driven by all types of
architecture blocks, including DSP blocks, TriMatrix memory blocks, and column and
row IOEs. For LAB interconnection, a primary LAB or its LAB neighbor can drive a
given C4 interconnect. C4 interconnects can drive each other to extend their range as
well as drive row interconnects for column-to-column connections.

C12 column interconnects span a length of 12 LABs and provide the fastest resource
for column connections between distant LABs, TriMatrix memory blocks, DSP blocks,
and IOEs. C12 interconnects drive LAB local interconnects via C4 and R4
interconnects and do not drive LAB local interconnects directly.
All embedded blocks communicate with the logic array through interconnects similar
to LAB-to-LAB interfaces. Each block (for example, TriMatrix memory blocks and
DSP blocks) connects to row and column interconnects and has local interconnect
regions driven by row and column interconnects. These blocks also have direct link
interconnects for fast connections to and from a neighboring LAB.

Memory Block Interface
The R4 and C4 interconnects provide superior and flexible routing capabilities.

Stratix III has a three-sided routing architecture which allows the interconnect wires
from each LAB to reach the adjacent LABs to its right and left. A given LAB can drive
32 other LABs using one R4 or C4 interconnect, in one hop. This routing scheme
improves efficiency and flexibility by placing all the critical LABs within one hop of
the routing interconnects.
Table 3–2 shows how many LABs are reachable within one, two, or three hops using
the R4 and C4 interconnects.
Table 3–2. Number of LABs reachable using C4 and R4 interconnects

Hops Number of LABs
1 34
2 96
3 160

TriMatrix memory consists of three types of RAM blocks: MLAB, M9K, and M144K.
This section provides a brief overview of how the different memory blocks interface to
the routing structure.
The RAM blocks in Stratix III devices have local interconnects to allow ALMs and
interconnects to drive into RAM blocks. The MLAB RAM block local interconnect is
driven by the R4, C4, and direct link interconnects from adjacent LABs. The MLAB
RAM blocks can communicate with LABs on either the left or right side through these
row interconnects or with LAB columns on the left or right side with the column
interconnects. Each MLAB RAM block has up to 20 direct link input connections from
the left adjacent LAB and another 20 from the right adjacent LAB. MLAB RAM
outputs can also connect to left and right LABs through a direct link interconnect. The
MLAB RAM block has equal opportunity for access and performance to and from
LABs on either its left or right side. Figure 3–4 shows the MLAB RAM block to LAB
row interface.

DSP Block Interface

Stratix III device DSP block input registers can generate a shift register that cascades
down in the same DSP block column. Dedicated connections between DSP blocks
provide fast connections between the shift register inputs to cascade the shift register
chains. You can cascade registers within multiple DSP blocks for 9-bit or 18-bit finite
impulse response (FIR) filters larger than four taps, with additional adder stages
implemented in ALMs. If the DSP block is configured as 36-bit blocks, the adder,
subtractor, or accumulator stages are implemented in ALMs. Each DSP block can
route the shift register chain out of the block to cascade multiple columns of DSP
blocks.
The DSP block is divided into four block units that interface with four LAB rows on
the left and right. You can consider each block unit as two 18-bit multipliers followed
by an adder with 72 inputs and 36 outputs. A local interconnect region is associated
with each DSP block. Like a LAB, this interconnect region can be fed with 20 direct
link interconnects from the LAB to the left or right of the DSP block in the same row.
R4 and C4 routing resources can access the DSP block's local interconnect region.
These outputs work similarly to LAB outputs. Eighteen outputs from the DSP block
can drive to the left LAB through direct link interconnects and eighteen can drive to
the right LAB though direct link interconnects. All 36 outputs can drive to R4 and C4
routing interconnects. Outputs can drive right- or left-column routing. Figure 3–7 and
Figure 3–8 show the DSP block interfaces to LAB rows.

through the MultiTrack interconnect structures. The Quartus II compiler
automatically routes critical design paths on faster interconnects to improve design
performance and optimize the device resources.

4. TriMatrix Embedded Memory Blocks in
Stratix III Devices
SIII51004-1.8
Introduction
TriMatrix embedded memory blocks provide three different sizes of embedded
SRAM to efficiently address the needs of Stratix® III FPGA designs. TriMatrix memory
includes 640- (in ROM mode only) or 320-bit memory logic array blocks (MLABs),
9-Kbit M9K blocks, and 144-Kbit M144K blocks. The MLABs have been optimized to
implement filter delay lines, small first-in first-out (FIFO) buffers, and shift registers.
You can use the M9K blocks for general purpose memory applications, and the
M144K blocks are ideal for processor code storage, packet buffering, and video frame
buffering.
You can independently configure each embedded memory block to be a single- or
dual-port RAM, FIFO, ROM, or shift register via the Quartus® II
MegaWizardTM Plug-In Manager. You can stitch together multiple blocks of the same
type to produce larger memories with minimal timing penalty. TriMatrix memory
provides up to 20,491 Kbits of embedded SRAM at up to 600 MHz operation. This
chapter describes TriMatrix memory blocks, modes, features, and design
considerations.

TriMatrix Memory Block Types

While the M9K and M144K memory blocks are dedicated resources, the MLABs are
dual-purpose blocks. They can be configured as regular logic array blocks (LABs) or
as memory logic array blocks (MLABs). Ten adaptive logic modules (ALMs) make up
one MLAB. Each ALM in an MLAB can be configured as a 16 × 2 block, resulting in a
16 × 20 simple dual-port SRAM block in a single MLAB. In ROM mode, each ALM in
an MLAB can be configured as either a 64 × 1 or a 32 × 2 block, resulting in a 64 × 10
or 32 × 20 ROM block in a single MLAB.
1 All the ALMs share the same address bits. Therefore, you cannot combine multiple
memories with different address bits and implement them in a single MLAB.
1 When you are using an MLAB as memory, you will not be able to use the unused
ALMs in the MLAB even if you do not use the full capacity of an MLAB.
Parity Bit Support

All TriMatrix memory blocks have built-in parity-bit support. The ninth bit associated
with each byte can store a parity bit or serve as an additional data bit. No parity
function is actually performed on the ninth bit.
Byte-Enable Support
All TriMatrix memory blocks support byte-enables that mask the input data so that
only specific bytes of data are written. The unwritten bytes retain the previous written
value. The write enable (wren) signals, along with the byte-enable (byteena) signals,
control the RAM blocks’ write operations.

Overview
1 MLABs support byte-enable via emulation. There will be increased logic utilization
when the byte-enables are emulated.
The default value for the byte-enable signals is high (enabled), in which case writing
is controlled only by the write enable signals. The byte-enable registers have no clear
port. When using parity bits on the M9K and M144K blocks, the byte-enable controls
all nine bits (eight bits of data plus one parity bit). When using parity bits on the
MLAB, the byte-enable controls all 10 bits in the widest mode.
Byte-enables operate in a one-hot fashion, with the LSB of the byteena signal
corresponding to the least significant byte of the data bus. For example, if you are
using a RAM block in ×18 mode, with byteena = 01, data[8..0] is enabled and
data[17..9] is disabled. Similarly, if byteena = 11, both data[8..0] and
data[17..9] are enabled. Byte-enables are active high.
1 You cannot use the byte-enable feature when using the ECC feature on M144K blocks.
Figure 4–1 shows how the write enable (wren) and byte-enable (byteena) signals
control the operations of the M9K and M144K.
When a byte-enable bit is de-asserted during a write cycle, the corresponding data
byte output can appear as either a “don’t care” value or the current data at that
location. The output value for the masked byte is controllable via the Quartus II
software. When a byte-enable bit is asserted during a write cycle, the corresponding
data byte output also depends on the setting chosen in the Quartus II software.

Overview
Figure 4–2 shows how the write enable (wren) and byte-enable (byteena) signals
control the operations of the MLABs. The write operation in MLABs is triggered by
failing clock edges.

Packed Mode Support

Stratix III M9K and M144K blocks support packed mode. The packed mode feature
packs two independent single-port RAMs into one memory block. The Quartus II
software automatically implements packed mode where appropriate by placing the
physical RAM block into true dual-port mode and using the MSB of the address to
distinguish between the two logical RAMs. The size of each independent single-port
RAM must not exceed half of the target block size.
Address Clock Enable Support

All Stratix III memory blocks support address clock enable, which holds the previous
address value for as long as the signal is enabled (addressstall = 1). When the
memory blocks are configured in dual-port mode, each port has its own independent
address clock enable. The default value for the address clock enable signals is low
(disabled).

Overview
Figure 4–3 shows an address clock enable block diagram. The address clock enable is
referred to by the port name addressstall.

Mixed Width Support

M9K and M144K memory blocks inherently support mixed data widths. MLABs can
support mixed data widths through emulation via the Quartus II software. When
using simple dual-port or true dual-port mixed width support allows you to read and
write different data widths to a memory block. Refer to “Memory Modes” on
page 4–10 for details on the different widths supported per memory mode.
1 You cannot use the ECC on M144 memory blocks when using the mixed width
support.
1 MLABs do not support mixed-width FIFO mode.
Asynchronous Clear
Stratix III M9K and M144K memory blocks support asynchronous clears on the
output latches and output registers. MLABs supports asynchronous clear on the
output registers only as the output is not latched. Therefore, if your M9K and M144K
are not using the output registers, you can still clear the RAM outputs via the output
latch asynchronous clear. The functional waveform in Figure 4–7 shows this
functionality.

Overview

You can selectively enable asynchronous clears per logical memory via the Quartus II
RAM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager.
f For more information, refer to the RAM Megafunction User Guide.
Error Correction Code Support

Stratix III M144K blocks have built-in support for error correction code (ECC) when in
×64-wide simple dual-port mode. ECC allows you to detect and correct data errors in
the memory array. The M144K blocks have a single-error-correction
double-error-detection (SECDED) implementation. SECDED can detect and fix a
single-bit error in a 64-bit word or detect two-bit errors in a 64-bit word. It cannot
detect three or more errors.
The M144K ECC status is communicated via a three-bit status flag
eccstatus[2..0]. The status flag can be either registered or unregistered. When
registered, it uses the same clock and asynchronous clear signals as the output
registers. When not registered, it cannot be asynchronously cleared.
Table 4–3 shows the truth table for the ECC status flags.
Table 4–3. Truth Table for ECC Status Flags

Double error and no fix 1 0 1

1 Read during write “old data” mode is not supported when ECC is engaged.

Memory Modes
Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks allow you to implement fully synchronous SRAM
memory in multiple modes of operation. M9K and M144K blocks do not support
asynchronous memory (unregistered inputs). MLABs support asynchronous
(flow-through) read operations.
Depending on which TriMatrix memory block you target, the following modes may
be used:
■ Single-port
■ Simple dual-port
■ True dual-port
■ Shift-register
■ ROM
■ FIFO
1 When using the memory blocks in ROM, single-port, simple dual-port, or true
dual-port mode, you can corrupt the memory contents if you violate the setup or
hold-time on any of the memory block input registers. This applies to both read and
write operations.
Single Port RAM

All TriMatrix memory blocks support single-port mode. Single-port mode allows you
to do either one read or one write operation at a time. Simultaneous reads and writes
are not supported in single-port mode. Figure 4–9 shows the single-port RAM
configuration.

aclr

(1) You can implement two single-port memory blocks in a single M9K or M144K block. See “Packed Mode Support” on
page 4–5 for more details.
During a write operation, behavior of the RAM outputs is configurable. If you use the
read-enable signal and perform a write operation with the read enable deactivated,
the RAM outputs retain the values they held during the most recent active read
enable. If you activate read enable during a write operation, or if you are not using the
read-enable signal at all, the RAM outputs either show the new data being written,
the old data at that address, or a don’t care value. To choose the desired behavior, set
the read-during-write behavior to either new data, old data, or don’t care in the RAM
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager in the Quartus II software. See “Read During Write”
on page 4–21 for more details on this behavior.

blocks.

Overview
Figure 4–10 shows the timing waveforms for read and write operations in single-port
mode with unregistered outputs for M9K and M144K. In M9K and M144K registering
the RAM’s outputs would simply delay the q output by one clock cycle.

Simple Dual-Port Mode

All TriMatrix memory blocks support simple dual-port mode. Simple dual-port mode
allows you to perform one-read and one-write operation to different locations at the
same time. Figure 4–12 shows the simple dual-port configuration.

(1) Simple dual-port RAM supports input/output clock mode in addition to the read/write clock mode shown.
Simple dual-port mode supports different read and write data widths (mixed width
support). Table 4–5 shows the mixed width configurations for the M9K blocks in
simple dual-port mode. MLABs do not have native support for mixed width
operation. The Quartus II software can implement mixed width memories in MLABs
by using more than one MLAB.

Overview
In simple dual-port mode, M9K and M144K blocks support separate write-enable and
read-enable signals. You can save power by keeping the read-enable signal low
(inactive) when not reading. Read-during-write operations to the same address can
either output a don’t care value or old data. To choose the desired behavior, set the
read-during-write behavior to either don’t care or old data in the RAM MegaWizard
Plug-In Manager in the Quartus II software. See “Read During Write” on page 4–21
for more details about this behavior.
MLABs only support a write-enable signal. Read-during-write behavior for the
MLABs can be either don’t care, new data, or old data. The available choices depend
on the configuration of the MLAB.
Figure 4–13 shows the timing waveforms for read and write operations in simple
dual-port mode with unregistered outputs in M9K and M144K. Registering the
RAM’s outputs would simply delay the q output by one clock cycle in M9k and
M144K.

Overview
True Dual-Port Mode

Stratix III M9K and M144K blocks support true dual-port mode. Sometimes called
bi-directional dual-port, this mode allows you to perform any combination of two
port operations: two reads, two writes, or one read and one write at two different
clock frequencies. Figure 4–15 shows the true dual-port RAM configuration.

(1) True dual-port memory supports input/output clock mode in addition to the independent clock mode shown.
The widest bit configuration of the M9K and M144K blocks in true dual-port mode is
as follows:
■ 512 × 16-bit (×18-bit with parity) (M9K)
■ 4K × 32-bit (×36-bit with parity) (M144K)
Wider configurations are unavailable because the number of output drivers is
equivalent to the maximum bit width of the respective memory block. Because true
dual-port RAM has outputs on two ports, its maximum width equals half of the total
number of output drivers. Table 4–7 lists the possible M9K block mixed-port width
configurations in true dual-port mode.

In true dual-port mode, M9K and M144K blocks support separate write-enable and
read-enable signals. You can save power by keeping the read-enable signal low
(inactive) when not reading. Read-during-write operations to the same address can
either output new data at that location or old data. To choose the desired behavior, set
the read-during-write behavior to either new data or old data in the RAM
MegaWizard Plug-In Manager in the Quartus II software. See “Read During Write”
on page 4–21 for more details about this behavior.
In true dual-port mode you can access any memory location at any time from either
port. When accessing the same memory location from both ports, you must avoid
possible write conflicts. A write conflict happens when you attempt to write to the
same address location from both ports at the same time. This results in unknown data
being stored to that address location. No conflict resolution circuitry is built into the
Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks. You must handle address conflicts external to the
RAM block.
Figure 4–16 shows the true dual-port timing waveforms for the write operation at
port A and read operation at port B with the Read-During-Write behavior set to new
data. Registering the RAM’s outputs would simply delay the q outputs by one clock
cycle.

Shift-Register Mode
All Stratix III memory blocks support shift register mode. Embedded memory block
configurations can implement shift registers for digital signal processing (DSP)
applications, such as finite impulse response (FIR) filters, pseudo-random number
generators, multi-channel filtering, and auto- and cross-correlation functions. These
and other DSP applications require local data storage, traditionally implemented with
standard flipflops that quickly exhaust many logic cells for large shift registers. A
more efficient alternative is to use embedded memory as a shift-register block, which
saves logic cell and routing resources.
The size of a shift register (w × m × n) is determined by the input data width (w), the
length of the taps (m), and the number of taps (n). You can cascade memory blocks to
implement larger shift registers.

Overview
Figure 4–17 shows the TriMatrix memory block in shift-register mode.

ROM Mode
All Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks support ROM mode. A .mif file initializes the
ROM content of these blocks. The address lines of the ROM are registered on M9K
and M144K blocks, but can be unregistered on MLABs. The outputs can be registered
or unregistered. Output registers can be asynchronously cleared. The ROM read
operation is identical to the read operation in the single-port RAM configuration.
FIFO Mode
All TriMatrix memory blocks support FIFO mode. MLABs are ideal for designs with
many small, shallow FIFO buffers. To implement FIFO buffers in your design, use the
Quartus II software FIFO MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. Both single and dual-clock
(asynchronous) FIFOs are supported.
f For more information about implementing FIFO buffers, refer to the Single- and
Dual-Clock FIFO Megafunctions User Guide.
1 MLABs do not support mixed-width FIFO mode.

Clocking Modes
Clocking Modes
Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks support the following clocking modes:
■ Independent
■ Input/output
■ Read/write
■ Single clock
1 Violating the setup or hold time on the memory block address registers could corrupt
the memory contents. This applies to both read and write operations.
1 Altera recommends using a memory block clock that comes through global clock
routing from an on-chip PLL set to 50% output duty cycle to achieve the maximum
memory block performance. Use Quartus II to report timing for this and other
memory block clocking schemes.
f For more information refer to the Stratix III Device Family Errata Sheet.
Table 4–9 shows the clocking mode versus memory mode support matrix.

Independent Clock Mode

Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks can implement independent clock mode for true
dual-port memories. In this mode, a separate clock is available for each port (A and
B). Clock A controls all registers on the port A side, while clock B controls all registers
on the port B side. Each port also supports independent clock enables for port A and
port B registers. Asynchronous clears are supported only for output latches and
output registers on both ports.
Input/Output Clock Mode

Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks can implement input/output clock mode for true
and simple dual-port memories. In this mode, an input clock controls all registers
related to the data input to the memory block, including data, address, byte-enables,
read enables, and write enables. An output clock controls the data output registers.
Asynchronous clears are available on output latches and output registers only.

Design Considerations
Read/Write Clock Mode

Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks can implement read/write clock mode for simple
dual-port memories. In this mode, a write clock controls the data-input,
write-address, and write-enable registers. Similarly, a read clock control the
data-output, read-address, and read-enable registers. The memory blocks support
independent clock enables for both the read and write clocks. Asynchronous clears
are available on data output latches and registers only.
When using read/write mode, if you perform a simultaneous read/write to the same
address location, the output read data will be unknown. If you require the output data
to be a known value in this case, use either single-clock mode or input/output clock
mode and choose the appropriate read-during-write behavior in the Megawizard.
Single Clock Mode

Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks can implement single-clock mode for true
dual-port, simple dual-port, and single-port memories. In this mode, a single clock,
together with a clock enable, is used to control all registers of the memory block.
Asynchronous clears are available on output latches and output registers only.
This section describes guidelines for designing with TriMatrix memory blocks.
Selecting TriMatrix Memory Blocks

The Quartus II software automatically partitions user-defined memory into
embedded memory blocks by taking into account both speed and size constraints
placed on your design. For example, the Quartus II software may spread out a
memory across multiple memory blocks when resources are available to increase the
performance of the design. You can manually assign the memory to a specific block
size via the RAM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager.
MLABs can implement single-port SRAM through emulation via the Quartus II
software. Emulation results in minimal additional logic resources being used. Because
of the dual-purpose architecture of the MLAB, it only has data input registers and
output registers in the block. MLABs gain input address registers and additional
optional data output registers from adjacent ALMs by using register packing.
f For more information about register packing, refer to the Logic Array Blocks and
Adaptive Logic Modules in Stratix III Devices chapter in volume 1 of the Stratix III Device
Handbook.
Conflict Resolution
When using the memory blocks in true dual-port mode, it is possible to attempt two
write operations to the same memory location (address). Since no conflict resolution
circuitry is built into the memory blocks, this results in unknown data being written to
that location. Therefore, you must implement conflict resolution logic external to the
memory block to avoid address conflicts.

Read During Write

You can customize the read-during-write behavior of the Stratix III TriMatrix memory
blocks to suit your design needs. Two types of read-during-write operations are
available: same port and mixed port. Figure 4–18 shows the difference between the
two types.
Figure 4–18. Stratix III Read-During-Write Data Flow

data in data in
Mixed-port

Same-Port Read-During-Write Mode

This mode applies to either a single-port RAM or the same port of a true dual-port
RAM. In same-port read-during-write mode, three output choices are available: new
data mode (or flow-through), old data mode, or don’t care mode. In new data mode,
the new data is available on the rising edge of the same clock cycle on which it was
written. In old data mode, the RAM outputs reflect the old data at that address before
the write operation proceeds. In don’t care mode, the RAM outputs don’t care values
for a read-during-write operation.
If you are not using the new data mode or old data mode, you should select the don’t
care mode. Using the don’t care mode increases the flexibility in the type of memory
block used, provided you do not assign block type when instantiating a memory
block. You may also get potential performance gain by selecting the don’t care mode.

Figure 4–19 shows the sample functional waveforms of same-port read-during-write

behavior with new data.

behavior with old data mode.

(1) Dold is the old data bit at address A0, A0 (old data) is the old data at address A0, and A1 (old data) is the old data at address A1.
Mixed-Port Read-During-Write Mode

This mode applies to a RAM in simple or true dual-port mode which has one port
reading and the other port writing to the same address location with the same clock.
In this mode you also have two output choices: old data or don’t care. In old data
mode, a read-during-write operation to different ports causes the RAM outputs to
reflect the old data at that address location. In don’t care mode, the same operation
results in a “don’t care” or “unknown” value on the RAM outputs.

1 For more details about how to implement the desired behavior, read-during-write
behavior is controlled via the RAM MegaWizard Plug-In Manager refer to the RAM
Megafunction User Guide.
You should select don’t care mode if you do not use old data mode. This increases the
flexibility in the type of memory block used, if you do not assign block type when
instantiating a memory block. You may also get potential performance gain by
selecting don’t care mode.
Figure 4–21 shows a sample functional waveform of mixed-port read-during-write
behavior for the old data mode. In don’t care mode, the old data shown in the figure is
simply replaced with “don’t cares”.

q_b_(asyn) A0 (old data) AAAA AABB A1(old data) DDDD EEEE

(1) A0 (old data) is the old data at address A0 and A1 (old data) is the old data at address A1.
Mixed-port read-during-write using two different clocks in simple-dual port RAM

with old data output is supported via emulation. The Quartus II software takes two
memory blocks to implement the widest width mode.
Power-Up Conditions and Memory Initialization

M9K and M144K memory block outputs power up to zero (cleared), regardless of
whether the output registers are used or bypassed. MLABs power up to zero if output
registers are used and power up reading the memory contents if output registers are
not used. However, the actual RAM cells power up to an unknown state. Therefore,
after power-up, if an address is read before being written, the output from the read
operation is undefined because the contents are not initialized.
All memory blocks support initialization via .mif file. You can create .mif files in the
Quartus II software and specify their use with the RAM MegaWizard Plug-In
Manager when instantiating a memory in your design. Even if a memory is
pre-initialized (for example, by a .mif file), it still powers up with its outputs cleared.
f For more information about .mif files, refer to the RAM Megafunction User Guide and
the Quartus II Handbook.

Conclusion
Power Management
Stratix III memory block clock-enables allow you to control clocking of each memory
block to reduce AC power consumption. Use the read-enable signal to ensure that
read operations only occur when you need them to. If your design does not require
read-during-write, you can reduce your power consumption by de-asserting the
read-enable signal during write operations, or any period when no memory
operations occur.
The Quartus II software automatically places any unused memory blocks in low
power mode to reduce static power.
Programming File Compatibility

Beginning with version 8.1, the Quartus II software supports the logic option
STRATIXIII_MRAM_COMPATIBILITY. When this option is set to on, the Quartus II
software will generate programming files compatible with both affected and fixed
silicons (for write speed decrease in M144K blocks). The default setting for this option
is on.
f For the list of devices that is affected by the write speed decrease for M144K blocks
refer to the Stratix III Device Family Errata Sheet.
To set the STRATIXIII_MRAM_COMPATIBILITY variable, enter the following line

in the Quartus Settings File:
set_global_assignment –name STRATIXIII_MRAM_COMPATIBILITY ON
When targeting fixed silicon devices, set the STRATIXIII_MRAM_COMPATIBILITY

variable to OFF. When the STRATIXIII_MRAM_COMPATIBILITY option is set to
OFF, you will be able to achieve the higher FMAX that is published for M144K blocks in
fixed silicons and the programming files will only be compatible with fixed silicons.
These programming files will not configure other silicon revisions. The nSTATUS pin
will drive out low and configuration will fail.
Conclusion
The Stratix III TriMatrix embedded memory structure provides three different on-chip
RAM block sizes to address your design needs. All memory blocks are fully
customizable and can be cascaded to implement wider or deeper memories with
minimal speed penalty.
You can independently configure each embedded memory block to be a single- or
dual-port RAM, FIFO, ROM, or shift register via the Quartus II MegaWizard Plug-In
Manager software.

5. DSP Blocks in Stratix III Devices
SIII51005-1.7
Introduction
The Stratix ® III family of devices have dedicated high-performance digital signal
processing (DSP) blocks optimized for DSP applications. These DSP blocks of the
Altera® Stratix device family are the third generation of hardwired, fixed function
silicon blocks dedicated to maximizing signal processing capability, ease of use, and
lowest silicon cost.
Many complex systems such as WiMAX, 3GPP WCDMA, high-performance
computing (HPC), voice over Internet protocol (VoIP), H.264 video compression,
medical imaging, and HDTV use sophisticated digital signal processing techniques,
and this typically requires a large number of mathematical computations. Stratix III
devices are ideally suited as the DSP blocks consist of a combination of dedicated
elements that perform multiplication, addition, subtraction, accumulation,
summation, and dynamic shift operations. Along with the high-performance
Stratix III soft logic fabric and TriMatrix™ memory structures, you can configure
these blocks to build sophisticated fixed-point and floating-point arithmetic functions.
These can be manipulated easily to implement common larger computationally
intensive subsystems such as finite impulse response (FIR) filters, complex FIR filters,
infinite impulse response (IIR) filters, fast Fourier transform (FFT) functions, and
discrete cosine transform (DCT) functions.
DSP Block Overview

Each Stratix III device has two to seven columns of DSP blocks that implement
multiplication, multiply-add, multiply-accumulate (MAC), and dynamic shift
functions efficiently. The logical functionality of the Stratix III DSP block is a superset
of the previous generation of the DSP block found in Stratix and Stratix II devices.
Architectural highlights of the Stratix III DSP block include:
■ High-performance, power-optimized, fully registered and pipelined
multiplication operations
■ Natively supported 9-bit, 12-bit, 18-bit, and 36-bit wordlengths
■ Natively supported 18-bit complex multiplications
■ Efficiently supported floating-point arithmetic formats (24-bit for single precision
and 53-bit for double precision)
■ Signed and unsigned input support
■ Built-in addition, subtraction, and accumulation units to combine multiplication
results efficiently
■ Cascading 18-bit input bus to form tap-delay line for filtering applications
■ Cascading 44-bit output bus to propagate output results from one block to the next
block without external logic support
■ Rich and flexible arithmetic rounding and saturation units

(1) The EP3SE260 device is rich in LE, memory, and multiplier resources. Hence, it aligns with both logic (L) and enhanced (E) variants.
Table 5–1 lists that the largest Stratix III DSP centric device (EP3SE110) provides up to
896 18 × 18 multiplier functionality in the 36 × 36, complex 18 × 18, and summation
modes.
Each DSP block occupies four LAB blocks in height and can be divided further into
two half-blocks that share some common clock signals, but are for all common
purposes identical in functionality. The layout of each block is shown in Figure 5–1.
1 The Stratix III DSP block input data lines of 288-bits are double that of Stratix and
Stratix II, but the number of output data lines remains at 144 bits.

In Stratix and Stratix II devices, the fundamental building block consists of an 18-bit ×
18-bit multiplier that can also function as two 9-bit × 9-bit multipliers. For Stratix III,
the fundamental building block is a pair of 18-bit × 18-bit multipliers followed by a
first-stage 37-bit addition/subtraction unit, as shown in Equation 5–1 and Figure 5–2.
Note that for all signed numbers, input and output data is represented in 2’s
complement format only.

The structure shown in Figure 5–2 is very useful for building more complex
structures, such as complex multipliers and 36 × 36 multipliers, as described in later
sections.
Each Stratix III DSP block contains four Two-Multiplier Adder units (two
Two-Multiplier Adder units per half-block). Therefore, there are eight 18 × 18
multiplier functionalities per DSP block.
Following the Two-Multiplier Adder units are the pipeline registers, the second-stage
adders, and an output register stage. You can configure the second-stage adders to
provide the following alternative functions per Half-Block:

In these equations, n denotes sample time, and P[36..0] are the results from the
Two-Multiplier Adder units.
Equation 5–2 provides a sum of four 18-bit × 18-bit multiplication operations
(Four-Multiplier Adder), and Equation 5–3 provides a four 18-bit × 18-bit
multiplication operation but with maximum of a 44-bit accumulation capability by
feeding the output of the unit back to itself. This is shown in Figure 5–3.
You can bypass all register stages depending on which mode you select.

Half-DSP Block
To support commonly found FIR-like structures efficiently, a major addition to the

DSP block in Stratix III is the ability to propagate the result of one Half-Block to the
next Half-Block completely within the DSP block without additional soft logic
overhead. This is achieved by the inclusion of a dedicated addition unit and routing
that adds the 44-bit result of a previous Half-Block with the 44-bit result of the current
block. The 44-bit result is fed either to the next Half-Block or out of the DSP block
through the output register stage. This is shown in Figure 5–4. Detailed examples are
described in later sections.
The combination of a fast, low-latency Four-Multiplier Adder unit and the “chained
cascade” capability of the output-chaining adder provide an optimal FIR and vector
multiplication capability.
To support single-channel type FIR filters efficiently, you can configure one of the
multiplier input’s registers to form a tap delay line input, saving resources and
providing higher system performance.

Also shown in Figure 5–4 is the optional Rounding and Saturation Unit (RSU). This
unit provides a rich set of commonly found arithmetic round and saturation functions
used in signal processing.
In addition to the independent multipliers and sum modes, you can use the DSP
blocks to perform shift operations. The DSP block can dynamically switch between
logical shift left/right, arithmetic shift left/right, and rotation operation in one clock
cycle.
A top-level view of the Stratix III DSP block is shown in Figure 5–5. A more detailed

Operational Modes Overview
Operational Modes Overview

Each Stratix III DSP block can be used in one of five basic operational modes.
Table 5–2 lists the five basic operational modes and the number of multipliers that can
be implemented within a single DSP block, depending on the mode.

(1) This mode also supports the loopback mode. In loopback mode, the number of loopback multipliers per DSP block is two and the remaining
multipliers can be used in regular Two-Multiplier Adder mode.
(2) The dynamic shift mode supports arithmetic shift left, arithmetic shift right, logical shift left, logical shift right, and rotation operation.
(3) The dynamic shift mode operates on a 32-bit input vector but the multiplier width is configured as 36-bits.
(4) Unsigned value is also supported but you must make sure that the result can be contained within 36-bits.
The DSP block consists of two identical halves (top-half and bottom-half). Each half
has four 18 × 18 multipliers.
The Quartus® II software includes megafunctions used to control the mode of
operation of the multipliers. After making the appropriate parameter settings using
the megafunction’s MegaWizardTM Plug-In Manager, the Quartus II software
automatically configures the DSP block.
Stratix III DSP blocks can operate in different modes simultaneously. Each half-block
is fully independent except for the sharing of the four clock, ena, and aclr signals.
For example, you can break down a single DSP block to operate a 9 × 9 multiplier in
one Half-Block and an 18 × 18 two-multiplier adder in the other Half-Block. This
increases DSP block resource efficiency and allows you to implement more
multipliers within a Stratix III device. The Quartus II software automatically places
multipliers that can share the same DSP block resources within the same block.

DSP Block Resource Descriptions

The DSP block consists of the following elements:
■ Input register bank
■ Four Two-Multiplier Adders
■ Pipeline register bank
■ Two second-stage adders
■ Four round and saturation logic units
■ Second adder register and output register bank
A detailed overall architecture of the top half of the DSP block is shown in Figure 5–6.

(2) Block output for accumulator overflow and saturate overflow.
(3) Block output for saturation overflow of chainout.
(4) When the chainout adder is not in use, the second adder register banks are known as output register banks.

Input Registers
All of the DSP block registers are triggered by the positive edge of the clock signal and
are cleared upon power up. Each multiplier operand can feed an input register or
directly to the multiplier, bypassing the input registers. (This is configured at compile
time.) The following DSP block signals control the input registers within the DSP
block:
■ clock[3..0]
■ ena[3..0]
■ aclr[3..0]
Every DSP block has nine 18-bit data input register banks per half DSP block. Every
half DSP block has the option to use the eight data register banks as inputs to the four
multipliers. The special ninth register bank is a delay register required by modes that
use both the cascade and chainout features of the DSP block and is for balancing the
latency requirements when using the chained cascade feature.
A feature of the input register bank is to support a tap delay line. Therefore, the top
leg of the multiplier input (A) could be driven from general routing or from the
cascade chain, as shown in Figure 5–7.

Delay
Register
You must select whether the A-input comes from general routing or from the cascade
chain at compile time. In cascade mode, the dedicated shift outputs from one
multiplier block directly feeds input registers of the adjacent multiplier below it
(within the same half DSP block) or the first multiplier in the next half DSP block, to
form an 8-tap shift register chain per DSP Block. The DSP block can increase the
length of the shift register chain by cascading to the lower DSP blocks. The dedicated
shift register chain spans a single column, but you can implement longer shift register
chains requiring multiple columns using the regular FPGA routing resources.

Shift registers are useful in DSP functions such as FIR filters. When implementing
18 × 18 or smaller width multipliers, you do not need external logic to create the shift
register chain because the input shift registers are internal to the DSP block. This
implementation significantly reduces the logical element (LE) resources required,
avoids routing congestion, and results in predictable timing.
The first multiplier in every half DSP block (top- and bottom-half) in Stratix III
devices has a multiplexer for the first multiplier B-input (lower-leg input) register to
select between general routing and loopback, as shown in Figure 5–6. In loopback
mode, the most significant 18-bit registered outputs are connected as feedback to the
multiplier input of the first top multiplier in each half DSP block. Loopback modes are
used by recursive filters where the previous output is needed to compute the current
output.
The loopback mode is described in detail in “Two-Multiplier Adder Sum Mode” on
page 5–21.
Table 5–3 lists the input register modes for the DSP block.

(1) The multiplier operand input wordlengths are statically configured at compile time.
(2) Available only on the A-operand.
(3) Only one loopback input is allowed per Half-Block. See Figure 5–15 for details.
Multiplier and First-Stage Adder

The multiplier stage natively supports 9 × 9, 12 × 12, 18 × 18, or 36 × 36 multipliers.
Other wordlengths are padded up to the nearest appropriate native wordlength; for
example, 16 × 16 would be padded up to use 18 × 18. Refer to “Independent
Multiplier Modes” on page 5–15 for more details. Depending on the data width of the
multiplier, a single DSP block can perform many multiplications in parallel.
Each multiplier operand can be a unique signed or unsigned number. Two dynamic
signals, signa and signb, control the representation of each operand, respectively. A
logic 1 value on the signa/signb signal indicates that data A/data B is a
signed number; a logic 0 value indicates an unsigned number. Table 5–4 lists the
sign of the multiplication result for the various operand sign representations. The
result of the multiplication is signed if any one of the operands is a signed value.
Table 5–4. Multiplier Sign Representation

Data A Data B
Result
(signa Value) (signb Value)
Unsigned (logic 0) Unsigned (logic 0) Unsigned
Unsigned (logic 0) Signed (logic 1) Signed
Signed (logic 1) Unsigned (logic 0) Signed
Signed (logic 1) Signed (logic 1) Signed

Each Half Block has its own signa and signb signal. Therefore, all of the data A
inputs feeding the same DSP Half Block must have the same sign representation.
Similarly, all of the data B inputs feeding the same DSP Half Block must have the
same sign representation. The multiplier offers full precision regardless of the sign
representation in all operational modes except for full precision 18 x 18 loopback and
Two-Multiplier Adder modes. Refer to “Two-Multiplier Adder Sum Mode” on
page 5–21 for details.
1 When the signa and signb signals are unused, the Quartus II software sets the
multiplier to perform unsigned multiplication by default.
The outputs of the multipliers are the only outputs that can feed into the first-stage
adder, as shown in Figure 5–6. There are four first-stage adders in a DSP block (two
adders per half DSP block). The first-stage adder block has the ability to perform
addition and subtraction. The control signal for addition or subtraction is static and
has to be configured upon compile time. The first-stage adders are used by the sum
modes to compute the sum of two multipliers, 18 × 18-complex multipliers, and to
perform the first stage of a 36 × 36 multiply and shift operation.
Depending on your specifications, the output of the first-stage adder has the option to
feed into the pipeline registers, second-stage adder, round and saturation unit, or the
output registers.
Pipeline Register Stage

The output from the first-stage adder can either feed or bypass the pipeline registers,
as shown in Figure 5–6. Pipeline registers increase the DSP block’s maximum
performance (at the expense of extra cycles of latency), especially when using the
subsequent DSP block stages. Pipeline registers split up the long signal path between
the input-registers/multiplier/first-stage adder and the second-stage
adder/round-and-saturation/output-registers, creating two shorter paths.
Second-Stage Adder
There are four individual 44-bit second-stage adders per DSP block (2 adders per half
DSP block). You can configure the second-stage adders as follows:
■ The final stage of a 36-bit multiplier
■ A sum of four (18 × 18)
■ An accumulator (44-bits maximum)
■ A chained output summation (44-bits maximum)
1 The chained-output adder can be used at the same time as a second-level adder in
chained output summation mode.
1 The output of the second-stage adder has the option to go into the round and
saturation logic unit or the output register.
1 You cannot use the second-stage adder independently from the multiplier and
first-stage adder.

Round and Saturation Stage

The round and saturation logic units are located at the output of the 44-bit
second-stage adder (round logic unit followed by the saturation logic unit). There are
two round and saturation logic units per half DSP block. The input to the round and
saturation logic unit can come from one of the following stages:
■ Output of the multiplier (independent multiply mode in 18 × 18)
■ Output of the first-stage adder (Two-Multiplier Adder)
■ Output of the pipeline registers
■ Output of the second-stage adder (Four-Multiplier Adder, Multiply-Accumulate
Mode in 18 × 18)
These stages are discussed in detail in “Operational Mode Descriptions” on
page 5–15.
The round and saturation logic unit is controlled by the dynamic round and saturate
signals, respectively. A logic 1 value on the round, saturate, or both enables the
round, saturate, or both logic units.
1 You can use the round and saturation logic units together or independently.
Second Adder and Output Registers

The second adder register and output register banks are two banks of 44-bit registers
that can also be combined to form larger 72-bit banks to support 36 × 36 output
results.
The outputs of the different stages in the Stratix III devices are routed to the output
registers through an output selection unit. Depending on the operational mode of the
DSP block, the output selection unit selects whether the outputs of the DSP blocks
comes from the outputs of the multiplier block, first-stage adder, pipeline registers,
second-stage adder, or the round and saturation logic unit. The output selection unit
is set automatically by the software, based on the DSP block operational mode you
specified, and has the option to either drive or bypass the output registers. The
exception is when the block is used in shift mode, in which case the user dynamically
controls the output-select multiplexer directly.
When the DSP block is configured in “chained cascaded” output mode, both of the
second-stage adders are used. The first one is used for performing Four-Multiplier
Adder and the second is used for the chainout adder. The outputs of the
Four-Multiplier Adder are routed to the second-stage adder registers before it enters
the chainout adder. The output of the chainout adder goes to the regular output
register bank. Depending on the configuration, the chainout results can be routed to
the input of the next half-block’s chainout adder input or to the general fabric
(functioning as regular output registers). Refer to “Operational Mode Descriptions”
on page 5–15 for details.

Operational Mode Descriptions
The second-stage and output registers are triggered by the positive edge of the clock
signal and are cleared on power up. The following DSP block signals control the
output registers within the DSP block:
■ clock[3..0]
■ ena[3..0]
■ aclr[3..0]

The various modes of operation are discussed below.
Independent Multiplier Modes

In independent input and output multiplier mode, the DSP block performs individual
multiplication operations for general-purpose multipliers.
9-, 12-, and 18-Bit Multiplier

You can configure each DSP block multiplier for 9-, 12-, or 18-bit multiplication. A
single DSP block can support up to eight individual 9 × 9 multipliers, six 12 × 12
multipliers, or up to four individual 18 × 18 multipliers. For operand widths up to
9 bits, a 9 × 9 multiplier is implemented. For operand widths from 10 to 12 bits, a
12 × 12 multiplier is implemented, and for operand widths from 13 to 18 bits, an
18 × 18 multiplier is implemented. This is done by the Quartus II software by
zero-padding the LSBs. Figure 5–8, Figure 5–9, and Figure 5–10 show the DSP block in
the independent multiplier operation mode.

The multiplier operands can accept signed integers, unsigned integers, or a

combination of both. You can change the signa and signb signals dynamically and
can be registered in the DSP block. Additionally, the multiplier inputs and result can
be registered independently. You can use the pipeline registers within the DSP block
to pipeline the multiplier result, increasing the performance of the DSP block.
1 The round and saturation logic unit is supported for the 18-bit independent multiplier
mode only.

36-Bit Multiplier
You can efficiently construct a 36 × 36 multiplier using four 18 × 18 multipliers. This
simplification fits conveniently into one half-DSP block, and is implemented in the
DSP block automatically by selecting the 36 × 36 mode. Stratix III devices can have up
to two 36-bit multipliers per DSP block (one 36-bit multiplier per half DSP block). The
36-bit multiplier is also under the independent multiplier mode but uses the entire
half DSP block, including the dedicated hardware logic after the pipeline registers to
implement the 36 × 36 bit multiplication operation. This is shown in Figure 5–11.
The 36-bit multiplier is useful for applications requiring more than 18-bit precision;
for example, for the mantissa multiplication portion of single precision and extended
single precision floating-point arithmetic applications.

Double Multiplier
The Stratix III DSP block can be configured to efficiently support an unsigned 54 × 54
bit multiplier that is required to compute the mantissa portion of an IEEE double
precision floating point multiplication. A 54 × 54 bit multiplier can be built using basic
18 × 18 multipliers, shifters, and adders. In order to efficiently utilize the Stratix III
DSP block's built in shifters and adders, a special Double mode (partial 54 × 54
multiplier) is available that is a slight modification to the basic 36 × 36 Multiplier
mode. This is shown in Figure 5–12 and Figure 5–13.

Two-Multiplier Adder Sum Mode

In the two-multiplier adder configuration, the DSP block can implement four 18-bit
Two-Multiplier Adders (2 Two-Multiplier Adders per half DSP block). You can
configure the adders to take the sum or difference of two multiplier outputs.
Summation or subtraction has to be selected at compile time. The Two-Multiplier
Adder function is useful for applications such as FFTs, complex FIR, and IIR filters.
Figure 5–14 shows the DSP block configured in the two-multiplier adder mode.
The loopback mode is the other sub-feature of the two-multiplier adder mode.
Figure 5–15 shows the DSP block configured in the loopback mode. This mode takes
the 36-bit summation result of the two multipliers and feeds back the most significant
18-bits to the input. The lower 18-bits are discarded. You have the option to disable or
zero-out the loopback data by using the dynamic zero_loopback signal. A logic 1
value on the zero_loopback signal selects the zeroed data or disables the looped
back data, while a logic 0 selects the looped back data.
1 The option to use the loopback mode or the general two-multiplier adder mode must
be selected at compile time.
For the Two-Multiplier Adder mode, if all the inputs are full 18-bit and unsigned, the
result will require 37 bits. As the output data width in Two-Multiplier Adder mode is
limited to 36 bits, this 37-bit output requirement is not allowed. Any other
combination that does not violate the 36-bit maximum result is permitted; for
example, two 16 × 16 signed Two-Multiplier Adders is valid.
The two-multiplier adder mode supports the round and saturation logic unit. You can
use the pipeline registers and output registers within the DSP block to pipeline the
multiplier-adder result, increasing the performance of the DSP block.

18 × 18 Complex Multiply
You can configure the DSP block when used in Two-Multiplier Adder mode to
implement complex multipliers using the two-multiplier adder mode. A single half
DSP block can implement one 18-bit complex multiplier.
A complex multiplication can be written as shown in Equation 5–4.
Equation 5–4. Complex Multiplication Equation
(a + jb) × (c + jd) = ((a × c) – (b × d)) + j((a × d) + (b × c))
To implement this complex multiplication within the DSP block, the real part
((a × c) – (b × d)) is implemented using two multipliers feeding one subtractor block
while the imaginary part ((a × d) + (b × c)) is implemented using another two
multipliers feeding an adder block. Figure 5–16 shows an 18-bit complex
multiplication. This mode automatically assumes all inputs are using signed
numbers.

Four-Multiplier Adder
In the four-multiplier adder configuration shown in Figure 5–17, the DSP block can
implement two four-multiplier adders (one four-multiplier adder per half DSP block).
These modes are useful for implementing one-dimensional and two-dimensional
filtering applications. The four-multiplier adder is performed in two addition stages.
The outputs of two of the four multipliers are initially summed in the two first-stage
adder blocks. The results of these two adder blocks are then summed in the
second-stage adder block to produce the final four-multiplier adder result, as shown
by Equation 5–2 and Equation 5–3.

The four-multiplier adder mode supports the round and saturation logic unit. You can

multiplier-adder result, increasing the performance of the DSP block.

High Precision Multiplier Adder

In the high precision multiplier adder configuration shown in Figure 5–18, the DSP
block can implement two two-multiplier adders, with multiplier precision of 18 × 36
(one two-multiplier adder per DSP half block). This mode is useful in filtering or FFT
applications where a data path greater than 18 bits is required, yet 18 bits is sufficient
for the coefficient precision. This can occur in cases where that data has a high
dynamic range. If the coefficients are fixed, as in FFT and most filter applications, the
precision of 18 bits will provide a dynamic range over 100 dB if the largest coefficient
is normalized to the maximum 18-bit representation.
In these situations, the data path can be up to 36 bits, allowing ample headroom to bit
growth, or gain changes in the signal source without loss of precision. This mode is
also extremely useful in single precision block floating point applications.
The high precision multiplier adder is preformed in two stages. The 18 × 36 multiply
is decomposed into two 18 × 18 multipliers. The multiplier with the LSB of the data
source is performed unsigned, while the multiplier with the MSB of the data source
can be signed or signed. The latter multiplier has its result left shifted by 18 bits prior
to the first adder stage, creating an effective 18 × 36 multiplier. The results of these
two adder blocks are then summed in the second stage adder block to produce the
final result.

Multiply Accumulate Mode

In multiply accumulate mode, the second-stage adder is configured as a 44-bit
accumulator or subtractor. The output of the DSP block is looped back to the
second-stage adder and added or subtracted with the two outputs of the first-stage
adder block according to Equation 5–3. Figure 5–19 shows the DSP block configured
to operate in multiply accumulate mode.

Half-DSP Block

A single DSP block can implement up to two independent 44-bit accumulators.

The dynamic accum_sload control signal is used to clear the accumulation. A
logic 1 value on the accum_sload signal synchronously loads the accumulator
with the multiplier result only, while a logic 0 enables accumulation by adding or
subtracting the output of the DSP block (accumulator feedback) to the output of the
multiplier and first-stage adder.
1 The control signal for the accumulator and subtractor is static and therefore has to be
configured at compile time.
This mode supports the round and saturation logic unit as it is configured as an 18-bit
multiplier accumulator. You can use the pipeline registers and output registers within
the DSP block to increase the performance of the DSP block.
Shift Modes
Stratix III devices support the following shift modes for 32-bit input only:
■ Arithmetic shift left, ASL[N]
■ Arithmetic shift right, ASR[32-N]
■ Logical shift left, LSL[N]
■ Logical shift right, LSR[32-N]
■ 32-bit rotator or Barrel shifter, ROT[N]
1 You can switch the shift mode between these modes using the dynamic rotate and
shift control signals.
The shift mode in a Stratix III device can be easily used by the soft embedded
processor such as Nios® II to perform the dynamic shift and rotate operation.
Figure 5–20 shows the shift mode configuration.
The shift mode makes use of the available multipliers to logically or arithmetically
shift left, right, or rotate the desired 32-bit data. The DSP block is configured like the
independent 36-bit multiplier mode to perform the shift mode operations.
The arithmetic shift right requires signed input vector. During arithmetic shift right,
the sign is extended to fill the MSB of the 32-bit vector. The logical shift right uses
unsigned input vector. During logical shift right, zeros are padded in the most
significant bits shifting the 32-bit vector to the right. The barrel shifter uses unsigned
input vector and implements a rotation function on a 32-bit word length.
Two control signals rotate and shift_right together with the signa and signb
signals, determining the shifting operation. Examples of shift operations are listed in
Table 5–5 on page 5–31.

(1) The value of the shift is equal to the value in the bracket where [N] is the position of bit ‘1’ on the B-Input. In the above examples, [N] is 8
and is calculated from the LSB to the MSB where LSB=0 and MSB=31.
Rounding and Saturation Mode

Round and saturation functions are often required in DSP arithmetic. Rounding is
used to limit bit growth and its side effects and saturation is used to reduce overflow
and underflow side effects.
Two rounding modes are supported in Stratix III devices:
■ Round-to-nearest-integer mode
■ Round-to-nearest-even mode
You must select one of the two options at compile time.
Round-to-nearest-integer mode provides the biased rounding support and is the
simplest form of rounding commonly used in DSP arithmetic. The round-to-nearest-
even method provides unbiased rounding support and is used where DC offsets are a
concern. Table 5–6 lists how round-to-nearest-even mode works. Examples of the
difference between the two modes are listed in Table 5–7. In this example, a 6-bit input
is rounded to 4 bits. You can observe from Table 5–7 that the main difference between
the two rounding options is when the residue bits are exactly half way between its
nearest two integers and the LSB is zero (even).

110110 ⇒1110 110110 ⇒1110
110010 ⇒1101 110010 ⇒1100
Two saturation modes are supported in Stratix III:

■ Asymmetric saturation mode
■ Symmetric saturation mode
You must select one of the two options at compile time.
In 2’s complement format, the maximum negative number that can be represented is
–2(n–1) while the maximum positive number is 2 (n–1)–1. Symmetrical saturation will limit
the maximum negative number to –2 (n–1) + 1. For example, for 32 bits:
■ Asymmetric 32-bit saturation: Max = 0x7FFFFFFF, Min = 0x80000000
■ Symmetric 32-bit saturation: Max = 0x7FFFFFFF, Min = 0x80000001
Table 5–8 lists how the saturation works. In this example, a 44-bit input is saturated to
36-bits.
Table 5–8. Examples of Saturation

5926AC01342h 7FFFFFFFFh 7FFFFFFFFh
ADA38D2210h 800000001h 800000000h

Stratix III devices have up to 16 configurable bit positions out of the 44-bit bus
([43:0]) for the round and saturate logic unit providing higher flexibility. You must
select the 16 configurable bit positions at compile time. These 16-bit positions are
located at bits [21:6] for rounding and [43:28] for saturation, as shown in
Figure 5–21.
Figure 5–21. Round and Saturation Locations
16 User defined SAT Positions (bit 43-28)
43 42 29 28 1 0
16 User defined RND Positions (bit 21-6)
43 42 21 20 7 6 0
1 For symmetric saturation, the RND bit position is also used to determine where the
LSP for the saturated data is located.
You can use the rounding and saturation function described above in regular
supported multiplication operations as specified in Table 5–2. However, for
accumulation type operations, the following convention is used.
The functionality of the round logic unit is in the format of:
Result = RND[S(A × B)], when used for an accumulation type of operation.
Likewise, the functionality of the saturation logic unit is in the format of:
Result = SAT[S(A × B)], when used for an accumulation type of operation.
If both the round and saturation logic units are used for an accumulation type of
operation, the format is:
Result = SAT[RND[S(A × B)]]

DSP Block Control Signals

The Stratix III DSP block is configured using a set of static and dynamic signals. The
DSP block dynamic signals are user configurable and can be set to toggled or not at
run time. Table 5–10 lists the dynamic signals for the DSP block.

FIR Example
A finite impulse response filter is a common function used in many systems to
perform spectral manipulations. The basic form is shown in Equation 5–6.
Equation 5–6. Finite Impulse Response Filter Equation
N–1
y(n) = ∑ x(n – k) × c(k)

k=0
In this equation, x(n) is the input samples to the filter, c(k) are the filter coefficients,
and y(n) are the filtered output samples. Typically, the coefficients do not change in
time in most applications such as Digital Down Converters (DDC). FIR filters can be
implemented in many forms, the most simple being the tap-delay line approach.
Stratix III DSP block can implement various types of FIR filters very efficiently. To
form the tap-delay line, the input register stage of the DSP block has the ability to
cascade the input in a chained fashion in 18-bit wide format. Unlike the Stratix II DSP
block, which has two built-in parallel input register scan paths, Stratix III supports
only one built-in 18-bit parallel input register scan path for 288 data input.
For a pair of 18-bit input buses, the A input for the first 18-bit bus is fed back to be
registered again at the input of the second (lower) pair of inputs. Refer to Figure 5–22
for details.
The B input of the multiplier feeds from the general routing. You can scan in the data
in 18-bit parallel form and multiply it by the 18-bit input bus from general routing in
each cycle.

Normally in a FIR filter, the fixed data input (from general routing and not from
cascade) is the constant that needs to be multiplied by the cascaded input. In 18-bit
mode, the DSP block has enough input registers to register the general routing signals
and the cascaded signal buses before multiplying them. This makes having eight taps
for an 18-bit cascade mode possible. Each tap can be considered a single multiplier. If
all eight multiplier inputs for the full DSP block are cascaded in a parallel scan chain,
an eight-tap FIR filter is created, as shown in Figure 5–22.
The DSP block can be concatenated to have more than eight taps by enabling the
option to output the parallel scan chain to the next (lower) DSP block. Likewise, the
output of previous (above) cascade chain is used as an input to the current block. The
first (top) multiplier in each half block will have the option to select the 18-bit cascade
chain input from the regular routing or from the previous (above) cascade chain. Also,
the last cascaded chain in each half DSP block can exit the DSP block by routing the
cascade chain after the last (fourth from top) input register to the output routing
channel, bypassing both the pipeline and output registers. This concatenation allows
the user to easily construct their desired filter length.
You can use the Four-Multiplier Adder mode with one of the inputs to each multiplier
being in a form of chained cascaded input from the previous (above) register. This is
very similar to the regular Four-Multiplier Adder with the difference being that not all
the inputs are from general routing.
For a complete FIR, the results per individual Four-Multiplier Adder can be combined
in either a tree or chained cascade manner. Using external logic and adders, you can
very easily implement a tree summation, as shown in Figure 5–22.

For faster and more efficient chained cascade summation, the DSP block can
implement the chainout function in the cascade mode. This mode uses the
second-stage 44-bit adder to add the current Four-Multiplier Adder of the half DSP
block to the adjacent half DSP block of the Four-Multiplier Adder as shown in
Figure 5–23.
This scheme is possible because each half DSP block has two second-stage adders.
One of the two second-stage adders is used to add the current Four-Multiplier Adder.
The second second-stage adder takes the output of the first second-stage adder and
adds it to the adjacent half DSP block of the Four-Multiplier Adder result.

In Figure 5–23, the adder that adds the adjacent half DSP block to the current
Four-Multiplier Adder is shown as the chainout adder for clarity. This scheme is used
to chain and add multiple DSP blocks together. The output of the chainout adder can
be registered. The registered chainout output can feed the lower adjacent DSP block
for a chainout summation or it can feed general FPGA routing. The chainout result
can be zeroed out by applying logic 1 on the dynamic zerochainout signal. The
zerochainout signal can also be registered.

Half-DSP Block

When you use both the input cascade and chainout features, the DSP block uses an
18-bit delay register in the boundary of each half-DSP block or from block-to-block to
synchronize the input scan chain data with the chainout data. The top half computes
the sum of product and chains the output to the next block after the output register.
The output register uses the delay register to delay the cascade input by one clock
cycle to compensate the latency for the bottom half.
For applications in which the system clock is slower than the speed of the DSP block,
the multipliers can be time-multiplexed to improve efficiency. This makes
multi-channel and semi-parallel FIR structures possible. The structure to achieve this
is similar to Figure 5–22 and Figure 5–23. The main difference is that the input cascade
chain is no longer used and each half-DSP block is used in Four-Multiplier Mode with
independent inputs. Figure 5–24 shows an example for chained cascaded summation.
In most cases, only the final stage FIR tap with the rounding and saturation unit is
deployed.

FFT Example
The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is a very common DSP function used to convert
samples in the time domain to and from the frequency domain. A fundamental
building block of the FFT is the FFT butterfly. FFTs are most efficient when operating
on complex samples. You can use the Stratix III DSP block to form the core of a
complex FFT butterfly very efficiently.

Software Support
In Figure 5–25, a radix-4 butterfly is shown. Each butterfly requires three complex
multipliers. This can be implemented in Stratix III using three half-DSP blocks
assuming that the data and twiddle wordlengths are 18 bits or fewer.

Software Support
Altera provides two distinct methods for implementing various modes of the DSP
block in a design: instantiation and inference. Both methods use the following
Quartus II megafunctions:
■ LPM_MULT
■ ALTMULT_ADD
■ ALTMULT_ACCUM
■ ALTFP_MULT
You can instantiate the megafunctions in the Quartus II software to use the DSP block.
Alternatively, with inference, you can create an HDL design and synthesize it using a
third-party synthesis tool (such as LeonardoSpectrum, Synplify, or Quartus II Native
Synthesis) that infers the appropriate megafunction by recognizing multipliers,
multiplier adders, multiplier accumulators, and shift functions. Using either method,
the Quartus II software maps the functionality to the DSP blocks during compilation.

6. Clock Networks and PLLs in Stratix III
Devices
SIII51006-2.0
This chapter describes the hierarchical clock networks and multiple phase-locked
loops (PLLs) with advanced features in Stratix® III devices. The large number of
clocking resources, in combination with the clock synthesis precision provided by the
PLLs, provide a complete clock management solution. The Altera® Quartus® II
software compiler automatically turns off clock networks not used in the design,
thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the device.
Stratix III devices deliver abundant PLL resources with up to 12 PLLs per device and
up to 10 outputs per PLL. You can independently program every output, creating a
unique, customizable clock frequency. Inherent jitter filtration and fine granularity
control over multiply, divide ratios, and dynamic phase shift reconfiguration provide
the high performance precision required in today’s high-speed applications. Stratix III
device PLLs are feature-rich, supporting advanced capabilities such as clock
switchover, dynamic phase shifting, PLL reconfiguration, and reconfigurable
bandwidth. Stratix III PLLs also support external feedback mode, spread-spectrum
tracking, and post-scale counter cascading features.
The Quartus II software enables the PLLs and their features without requiring any
external devices. The following sections describe the Stratix III clock networks and
PLLs in detail.
Clock Networks in Stratix III Devices

The global clock networks (GCLKs), regional clock networks (RCLKs), and periphery
clock networks (PCLKs) available in Stratix III devices are organized into hierarchical
clock structures that provide up to 220 unique clock domains (16 GCLKs + 88 RCLKs
+ 116 PCLKs) within the Stratix III device and allow up to 67 unique GCLK, RCLK,
and PCLK clock sources (16 GCLKs + 22 RCLKs + 29 PCLKs) per device quadrant.
Table 6–1 lists the clock resources available in Stratix III devices.

Stratix III devices have up to 32 dedicated single-ended clock pins or 16 dedicated

differential clock pins (CLK[0:15]p and CLK[0:15]n) that can drive either the
GCLK or RCLK networks. These clock pins are arranged on the four sides of the
Stratix III device, as shown in Figure 6–1 to Figure 6–4.
Global Clock Networks

Stratix III devices provide up to 16 GCLKs that can drive throughout the entire
device, serving as low-skew clock sources for functional blocks such as adaptive logic
modules (ALMs), digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, TriMatrix memory blocks,
and PLLs. Stratix III device I/O elements (IOEs) and internal logic can also drive
GCLKs to create internally generated global clocks and other high fan-out control
signals; for example, synchronous or asynchronous clears and clock enables.
Figure 6–1 shows CLK pins and PLLs that can drive GCLK networks in Stratix III
devices.

Regional Clock Networks

The regional clock (RCLK) networks only pertain to the quadrant they drive into. The
RCLK networks provide the lowest clock delay and skew for logic contained within a
single device quadrant. Stratix III device I/O elements and internal logic within a
given quadrant can also drive RCLKs to create internally generated regional clocks
and other high fan-out control signals; for example, synchronous or asynchronous
clears and clock enables. Figure 6–2 to Figure 6–4 show CLK pins and PLLs that can
drive RCLK networks in Stratix III devices. The EP3SL50, EP3SL70, EP3SL110,
EP3SL150, EP3SE50, EP3SE80, and EP3SE110 devices contain 64 RCLKs; the
EP3SL200, EP3SE260, and EP3SL340 devices contain 88 RCLKs.

Periphery Clock Networks

Periphery clock (PCLK) networks shown in Figure 6–5 to Figure 6–9 are a collection of
individual clock networks driven from the periphery of the Stratix III device. Clock
outputs from the DPA block, horizontal I/O pins, and internal logic can drive the
PCLK networks. The EP3SL50, EP3SL70, and EP3SE50 devices contain 56 PCLKs; the
EP3SL110, EP3SL150, EP3SL200, EP3SE80, and EP3SE110 devices contain 88 PCLKs;
the EP3SE260 device contains 112 PCLKs, and the EP3SL340 device contains 132
PCLKs. These PCLKs have higher skew compared to GCLK and RCLK networks and
can be used instead of general purpose routing to drive signals into and out of the
Stratix III device.

Clocking Regions
Stratix III devices provide up to 104 distinct clock domains (16 GCLKs + 88 RCLKs) in
the entire device. You can utilize these clock resources to form the following three
different types of clock regions:
■ Entire device clock region
■ Regional clock region
■ Dual-regional clock region

In order to form the entire device clock region, a source (not necessarily a clock signal)
drives a global clock network that can be routed through the entire device. This clock
region has the maximum delay compared to other clock regions but allows the signal
to reach every destination within the device. This is a good option for routing global
reset/clear signals or routing clocks throughout the device.
In order to form a regional clock region, a source drives a single-quadrant of the
device. This clock region provides the lowest skew within a quadrant and is a good
option if all destinations are within a single device quadrant.
To form a dual-regional clock region, a single source (a clock pin or PLL output)
generates a dual-regional clock by driving two regional clock networks (one from
each quadrant). This technique allows destinations across two device quadrants to
use the same low-skew clock. The routing of this signal on an entire side has
approximately the same delay as in a regional clock region. Internal logic can also
drive a dual-regional clock network. Corner PLL outputs only span one quadrant and
hence cannot generate a dual-regional clock network. Figure 6–10 shows the
dual-regional clock region.
Figure 6–10. Stratix III Dual-Regional Clock Region

Clock pins or PLL outputs
can drive half of the device to
create side-wide clocking
regions for improved
interface timing.
Clock Network Sources

In Stratix III devices, clock input pins, PLL outputs, and internal logic can drive the
global and regional clock networks. Refer to Table 6–2 to Table 6–6 for the connectivity
between dedicated CLK[0..15] pins and the global and regional clock networks.
Dedicated Clock Inputs Pins

The CLK pins can either be differential clocks or single-ended clocks. Stratix III devices
support 16 differential clock inputs or 32 single-ended clock inputs. You can also use
the dedicated clock input pins CLK[15..0] for high fan-out control signals such as
asynchronous clears, presets, and clock enables for protocol signals such as TRDY and
IRDY for PCI through global or regional clock networks.

Logic Array Blocks (LABs)

You can also drive each global and regional clock network via LAB-routing to enable
internal logic to drive a high fan-out, low-skew signal.
1 Stratix III device PLLs cannot be driven by internally generated GCLKs or RCLKs.
The input clock to the PLL must come from dedicated clock input pins/PLL-fed
GCLKs or RCLKs only.
1 A spine clock is essentially another layer of routing below global/regional and

periphery clocks before each clock is connected to the clock routing for each LAB row.
The settings for a spine clock are transparent to all users. The Quartus II software
takes care of the spine clock routing based on the global/regional and periphery
clocks.
PLL Clock Outputs

Stratix III PLLs can drive both GCLK and RCLK networks, as detailed in Table 6–8 on
page 6–12 and Table 6–9 on page 6–13.
Table 6–2 lists the connection between the dedicated clock input pins and GCLKs.

Clock Output Connections

PLLs in Stratix III devices can drive up to 20 regional clock networks and four global
clock networks. Refer to Table 6–8 for Stratix III PLL connectivity to GCLK networks.
The Quartus II software automatically assigns PLL clock outputs to regional or global
clock networks.

Clock Source Control for PLLs

The clock input to Stratix III PLLs comes from clock input multiplexers. The clock
multiplexer inputs come from dedicated clock input pins, PLLs through the GCLK
and RCLK networks, or from dedicated connections between adjacent Top/Bottom
and Left/Right PLLs. The clock input sources to Top/Bottom and Left/Right PLLs
(L2, L3, T1, T2, B1, B2, R2, and R3) are shown in Figure 6–11; the corresponding clock
input sources to Left/Right PLLs (L1, L4, R1, and R4) are shown in Figure 6–12.
The multiplexer select lines are set in the configuration file (SRAM object file [.sof] or
programmer object file [.pof]) only. Once programmed, this block cannot be changed
without loading a new configuration file (.sof or .pof). The Quartus II software
automatically sets the multiplexer select signals depending on the clock sources
selected in the design.

(3) The global (GCLK) or regional (RCLK) clock input can be driven by an output from another PLL, a pin-driven global
or regional clock, or through a clock control block provided the clock control block is fed by an output from another
PLL or a pin driven dedicated global or regional clock. An internally generated global signal or general purpose I/O
pin cannot drive the PLL.

clock input for PLL_L1.
(2) The global (GCLK) or regional (RCLK) clock input can be driven by an output from another PLL, a pin-driven global
or regional clock, or through a clock control block provided the clock control block is fed by an output from another
PLL or a pin driven dedicated global or regional clock. An internally generated global signal or general purpose I/O
pin cannot drive the PLL.
(3) The center clock pins can feed the corner PLLs on the same side directly, through a dedicated path. However, these
paths may not be fully compensated.
Clock Control Block

Every global and regional clock network has its own clock control block. The control
block provides the following features:
■ Clock source selection (dynamic selection for global clocks)
■ Global clock multiplexing
■ Clock power down (static or dynamic clock enable or disable)
You can select the clock source for the global clock select block either statically or
dynamically. You can either statically select the clock source using a setting in the
Quartus II software, or you can dynamically select the clock source using internal
logic to drive the multiplexer select inputs. When selecting the clock source
dynamically, you can either select two PLL outputs (such as CLK0 or CLK1), or a
combination of clock pins or PLL outputs.

Figure 6–13 and Figure 6–14 show the global clock and regional clock select blocks,
respectively.

The clock source selection for the regional clock select block can only be controlled
statically using configuration bit settings in the configuration file (.sof or .pof)
generated by the Quartus II software.
The Stratix III clock networks can be powered down by both static and dynamic
approaches. When a clock net is powered down, all the logic fed by the clock net is in
an off-state, thereby reducing the overall power consumption of the device. The
unused global and regional clock networks are automatically powered down through
configuration bit settings in the configuration file (.sof or .pof) generated by the

Quartus II software. The dynamic clock enable or disable feature allows the internal
logic to control power-up or power-down synchronously on GCLK and RCLK
networks, including dual-regional clock regions. This function is independent of the
PLL and is applied directly on the clock network, as shown in Figure 6–13 and
Figure 6–14.
You can set the input clock sources and the clkena signals for the global and regional
clock network multiplexers through the Quartus II software using the ALTCLKCTRL
megafunction. You can also enable or disable the dedicated external clock output pins
using the ALTCLKCTRL megafunction.
When using the ALTCLKCTRL megafunction to implement clock source selection
(dynamic), the inputs from the clock pins feed the inclock[0..1] ports of the
multiplexer, while the PLL outputs feed the inclock[2..3] ports. You can choose
from among these inputs using the CLKSELECT[1..0] signal.

In Stratix III devices, the clkena signals are supported at the clock network level
instead of at the PLL output counter level. This allows you to gate off the clock even
when a PLL is not being used. You can also use the clkena signals to control the
dedicated external clocks from the PLLs. Figure 6–17 shows the waveform example
for a clock output enable. clkena is synchronous to the falling edge of the clock
output.
Stratix III devices also have an additional metastability register that aids in
asynchronous enable/disable of the GCLK and RCLK networks. This register can be
optionally bypassed in the Quartus II software.

PLLs in Stratix III Devices
The PLL can remain locked independently of the clkena signals because the
loop-related counters are not affected. This feature is useful for applications that
require a low power or sleep mode. The clkena signal can also disable clock outputs
if the system is not tolerant of frequency overshoot during resynchronization.

Stratix III devices offer up to 12 PLLs that provide robust clock management and
synthesis for device clock management, external system clock management, and
high-speed I/O interfaces. The nomenclature for the PLLs follows their geographical
location in the device floor plan. The PLLs that reside on the top and bottom sides of
the device are named PLL_T1, PLL_T2, PLL_B1 and PLL_B2; the PLLs that reside
on the left and right sides of the device are named PLL_L1, PLL_L2, PLL_L3,
PLL_L4, PLL_R1, PLL_R2, PLL_R3, and PLL_R4, respectively.

Stratix III PLL Hardware Overview

Stratix III devices contain up to 12 PLLs with advanced clock management features.
The main goal of a PLL is to synchronize the phase and frequency of an internal or
external clock to an input reference clock. There are a number of components that
comprise a PLL to achieve this phase alignment.
Stratix III PLLs align the rising edge of the input reference clock to a feedback clock
using the phase-frequency detector (PFD). The falling edges are determined by the
duty-cycle specifications. The PFD produces an up or down signal that determines
whether the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) needs to operate at a higher or lower
frequency. The output of the PFD feeds the charge pump and loop filter, which
produces a control voltage for setting the VCO frequency. If the PFD produces an up
signal, then the VCO frequency increases. A down signal decreases the VCO
frequency. The PFD outputs these up and down signals to a charge pump. If the
charge pump receives an up signal, current is driven into the loop filter. Conversely, if
the charge pump receives a down signal, current is drawn from the loop filter.

The loop filter converts these up and down signals to a voltage that is used to bias the
VCO. The loop filter also removes glitches from the charge pump and prevents
voltage overshoot, which filters the jitter on the VCO. The voltage from the loop filter
determines how fast the VCO operates. A divide counter (m) is inserted in the
feedback loop to increase the VCO frequency above the input reference frequency.
VCO frequency (fVCO) is equal to (m) times the input reference clock (fREF ). The input
reference clock (fREF ) to the PFD is equal to the input clock (fIN) divided by the pre-scale
counter (N). Therefore, the feedback clock (fFB) applied to one input of the PFD is
locked to the fREF that is applied to the other input of the PFD.
The VCO output from Left/Right PLLs can feed seven post-scale counters (C[0..6]),
while the corresponding VCO output from Top/Bottom PLLs can feed ten post-scale
counters (C[0..9]). These post-scale counters allow a number of harmonically
related frequencies to be produced by the PLL.

(2) This is the VCO post-scale counter K. If the design enables this ÷2 counter, the device can use a VCO frequency range of 300 to 650 MHz. The
VCO frequency reported by the Quartus II software is divided by the post-scale counter K.
(3) The FBOUT port is fed by the M counter in Stratix III PLLs.
(4) The global (GCLK) or regional (RCLK) clock input can be driven by an output from another PLL, a clock pin-driven global or regional clock, or
through a clock control block provided the clock control block is fed by an output from another PLL or a pin driven dedicated global or regional
clock. An internally generated global signal or general purpose I/O pin cannot drive the PLL.
PLL Clock I/O Pins

Each Top/Bottom PLL supports six clock I/O pins, organized as three pairs of pins:
■ 1st pair: 2 single-ended I/O or 1 differential I/O
■ 2nd pair: 2 single-ended I/O, 1 differential external feedback input (FBp/FBn), or
1 single-ended external feedback input (FBp)
■ 3rd pair: 2 single-ended I/O or 1 differential input

Figure 6–20 shows the clock I/O pins associated with Top/Bottom PLLs.

(2) The CLKOUT0p and CLKOUT0n pins can be either single-ended or differential clock outputs. CLKOUT1 and CLKOUT2 pins are dual-purpose
I/O pins that can be used as two single-ended outputs, one differential external feedback input pin pair or one single-ended external feedback input
pin (CLKOUT1 only). CLKOUT3 and CLKOUT4 pins are two single-ended output pins.
(3) These external clock enable signals are available only when using the ALTCLKCTRL megafunction.
Any of the output counters (C[9..0] on Top/Bottom PLLs and C[6..0] on

Left/Right PLLs) or the M counter can feed the dedicated external clock outputs, as
shown in Figure 6–20 and Figure 6–21. Therefore, one counter or frequency can drive
all output pins available from a given PLL.
Each Left/Right PLL supports two clock I/O pins, configured as either two
single-ended I/Os or one differential I/O pair. When using both pins as single-ended
I/Os, one of them can be the clock output while the other pin is the external feedback
input (FB) pin. Hence, Left/Right PLLs only support external feedback mode for
single-ended I/O standards.

(3) These external clock enable signals are available only when using the ALTCLKCTRL megafunction.
Each pin of a single-ended output pair can either be in-phase or 180-degrees

out-of-phase. The Quartus II software places the NOT gate in the design into the IOE
to implement 180-degrees phase with respect to the other pin in the pair. The clock
output pin pairs support the same I/O standards as standard output pins (in the top
and bottom banks) as well as LVDS, LVPECL, differential HSTL, and differential
SSTL.
f To determine which I/O standards are supported by the PLL clock input and output
pins, refer to the Stratix III Device I/O Features chapter.
Stratix III PLLs can also drive out to any regular I/O pin through the global or
regional clock network. You can use the external clock output pins as user I/O pins if
external PLL clocking is not needed.

Stratix III PLL Software Overview

Stratix III PLLs are enabled in the Quartus II software by using the ALTPLL
megafunction. Figure 6–22 shows the Stratix III PLL ports as they are named in the

Clock Feedback Modes

Stratix III PLLs support up to six different clock feedback modes. Each mode allows
clock multiplication and division, phase shifting, and programmable duty cycle.
Table 6–14 lists the clock feedback modes supported by Stratix III PLLs.

(1) External feedback mode supported for single-ended inputs and outputs only on Left/Right PLLs.
(2) High-bandwidth PLL settings are not supported in external feedback mode. Select a "low" or "medium" PLL
bandwidth in the ALTPLL MegaWizard TM Plug-in Manager when using PLLs in external feedback mode.
(3) Differential HSTL and SSTL I/O standards are not supported in Top/Bottom PLLs for external feedback mode.
1 The input and output delays are fully compensated by a PLL only when they are
using the dedicated clock input pins associated with a given PLL as the clock source.
Input and output delays are not compensated when cascading two adjacent top or
bottom PLLs even if they are using dedicated routing for cascading. For example,
when using PLL_T1 in normal mode, the clock delays from the input pin to the PLL
clock output-to-destination register are fully compensated provided the clock input
pin is one of the following four pins: CLK12, CLK13, CLK14, or CLK15. When an
RCLK or GCLK network drives the PLL, the input and output delays may not be fully
compensated in the Quartus II software.

Source Synchronous Mode

If the data and clock signals arrive at the same time on the input pins, the same phase
relationship is maintained at the clock and data ports of any IOE input register.
Figure 6–23 shows an example waveform of the clock and data in this mode. This
mode is recommended for source-synchronous data transfers. Data and clock signals
at the IOE experience similar buffer delays when you use the same I/O standard.

The source-synchronous mode compensates for the delay of the clock network used
plus any difference in the delay between these two paths:
■ Data pin to IOE register input
■ Clock input pin to the PLL PFD input
1 Set the input pin to register delay chain within the IOE to zero in the Quartus II
software for all data pins clocked by a source-synchronous mode PLL. Also, all data
pins must use the PLL COMPENSATED logic option in the Quartus II software.

Source-Synchronous Mode for LVDS Compensation

The goal of this mode is to maintain the same data and clock timing relationship seen
at the pins at the internal SERDES capture register, except that the clock is inverted
(180-degree phase shift). Thus, this mode ideally compensates for the delay of the
LVDS clock network plus any difference in delay between these two paths:
■ Data pin-to-SERDES capture register
■ Clock input pin-to-SERDES capture register. In addition, the output counter needs
to provide the 180-degree phase shift.
No-Compensation Mode
In the no-compensation mode, the PLL does not compensate for any clock networks.
This mode provides better jitter performance because the clock feedback into the PFD
passes through less circuitry. Both the PLL internal- and external-clock outputs are
phase-shifted with respect to the PLL clock input. Figure 6–25 shows an example
waveform of the PLL clocks’ phase relationship in this mode.

Normal Mode
An internal clock in normal mode is phase-aligned to the input clock pin. The external
clock-output pin has a phase delay relative to the clock input pin if connected in this
mode. The Quartus II software timing analyzer reports any phase difference between
the two. In normal mode, the delay introduced by the GCLK or RCLK network is fully
compensated. Figure 6–26 shows an example waveform of the PLL clocks’ phase
relationship in this mode.

Zero-Delay Buffer Mode

In zero-delay buffer (ZDB) mode, the external clock output pin is phase-aligned with
the clock input pin for zero delay through the device. When using this mode, you
must use the same I/O standard on the input clocks and output clocks in order to
guarantee clock alignment at the input and output pins. This mode is supported on all
Stratix III PLLs.
When using Stratix III PLLs in ZDB mode, along with single-ended I/O standards, to
ensure phase alignment between the clock input pin (CLK) and the external clock
output (CLKOUT) pin, you must instantiate a bi-directional I/O pin in the design to
serve as the feedback path connecting the FBOUT and FBIN ports of the PLL. The PLL
uses this bi-directional I/O pin to mimic, and hence compensate for, the output delay
from the clock output port of the PLL to the external clock output pin. Figure 6–27
shows ZDB mode implementation in Stratix III PLLs. You cannot use differential I/O
standards on the PLL clock input or output pins when using ZDB mode.
1 To avoid reflection, do not place a board trace on the bi-directional I/O pins.
1 The bi-directional I/O pin that you instantiate in your design should always be
assigned a single-ended I/O standard.

External Feedback Mode

In external feedback (EFB) mode, the external feedback input pin (fbin) is
phase-aligned with the clock input pin, as shown in Figure 6–30. Aligning these clocks
allows you to remove clock delay and skew between devices. This mode is supported
on all Stratix III PLLs.
In this mode, the output of the M counter (FBOUT) feeds back to the PLL fbin input
(using a trace on the board) becoming part of the feedback loop. Also, you can use one
of the dual-purpose external clock outputs as the fbin input pin in EFB mode.
When using this mode, you must use the same I/O standard on the input clock,
feedback input, and output clocks. Left/Right PLLs support EFB mode when using
single-ended I/O standards only. Figure 6–29 shows the EFB mode implementation in
Stratix III devices.
High-bandwidth PLL settings are not supported in external feedback mode. Select a
”low“ or “medium” PLL bandwidth in the ALTPLL MegaWizard Plug-In Manager
when using PLLs in external feedback mode.

Clock Multiplication and Division

Each Stratix III PLL provides clock synthesis for PLL output ports using
m/(n* post-scale counter) scaling factors. The input clock is divided by a pre-scale
factor, n, and is then multiplied by the m feedback factor. The control loop drives the
VCO to match fin (m/n). Each output port has a unique post-scale counter that divides
down the high-frequency VCO. For multiple PLL outputs with different frequencies,
the VCO is set to the least common multiple of the output frequencies that meets its
frequency specifications. For example, if output frequencies required from one PLL
are 33 and 66 MHz, then the Quartus II software sets the VCO to 660 MHz (the least
common multiple of 33 and 66 MHz within the VCO range). Then the post-scale
counters scale down the VCO frequency for each output port.
Each PLL has one pre-scale counter, n, and one multiply counter, m, with a range of 1
to 512 for both m and n. The n counter does not use duty-cycle control because the
only purpose of this counter is to calculate frequency division. There are seven generic
post-scale counters per Left/Right PLL and ten post-scale counters per Top/Bottom
PLL that can feed GCLKs, RCLKs, or external clock outputs. These post-scale counters
range from 1 to 512 with a 50% duty cycle setting. The high- and low-count values for
each counter range from 1 to 256. The sum of the high- and low-count values chosen
for a design selects the divide value for a given counter.
The Quartus II software automatically chooses the appropriate scaling factors
according to the input frequency, multiplication, and division values entered into the
ALTPLL megafunction.

Post-Scale Counter Cascading

The Stratix III PLLs support post-scale counter cascading to create counters larger
than 512. This is automatically implemented in the Quartus II software by feeding the
output of one C counter into the input of the next C counter as shown in Figure 6–31.

(1) n = 6 or n = 9
When cascading post-scale counters to implement a larger division of the

high-frequency VCO clock, the cascaded counters behave as one counter with the
product of the individual counter settings. For example, if C0 = 40 and C1 = 20, then
the cascaded value is C0*C1 = 800.
1 Post-scale counter cascading is set in the configuration file. It cannot be done using
PLL reconfiguration.
Programmable Duty Cycle

The programmable duty cycle allows PLLs to generate clock outputs with a variable
duty cycle. This feature is supported on the PLL post-scale counters. The duty-cycle
setting is achieved by a low and high time-count setting for the post-scale counters.
The Quartus II software uses the frequency input and the required multiply or divide
rate to determine the duty cycle choices. The post-scale counter value determines the
precision of the duty cycle. The precision is defined by 50% divided by the post-scale
counter value. For example, if the C0 counter is 10, then steps of 5% are possible for
duty-cycle choices between 5% to 90%.
If the PLL is in external feedback mode, you must set the duty cycle for the counter
driving the fbin pin to 50%. Combining the programmable duty cycle with
programmable phase shift allows the generation of precise non-overlapping clocks.

PLL Control Signals

You can use the following three signals to observe and control the PLL operation and
resynchronization.
pfdena
Use the pfdena signal to maintain the most recent locked frequency so your system
has time to store its current settings before shutting down. The pfdena signal
controls the PFD output with a programmable gate. If you disable the PFD, the VCO
is free running and the PLL output drifts. The PLL output jitter may not meet the
datasheet specifications. The lock signal cannot be used as an indicator when the PFD
is disabled.
areset
The areset signal is the reset or resynchronization input for each PLL. The device
input pins or internal logic can drive these input signals. When areset is driven
high, the PLL counters reset, clearing the PLL output and placing the PLL out-of-lock.
The VCO is then set back to its nominal setting. When areset is driven low again,
the PLL will resynchronize to its input as it re-locks.
You should assert the areset signal every time the PLL loses lock to guarantee the
correct phase relationship between the PLL input clock and output clocks. You can set
up the PLL to automatically reset (self reset) upon a loss-of-lock condition using the
Quartus II MegaWizard Plug-In Manager. You should include the areset signal in
designs if the following condition is true:
PLL reconfiguration or clock switchover is enabled in the design.
1 If the input clock to the PLL is not toggling or is unstable upon power up, assert the
areset signal after the input clock is stable and within specifications.
locked
The lock signal is an asynchronous output of the PLL. The locked output of the PLL
indicates that the PLL has locked onto the reference clock and the PLL clock outputs
are operating at the desired phase and frequency set in the Quartus II MegaWizard
Plug-In Manager. The lock detection circuit provides a signal to the core logic that
gives an indication if the feedback clock has locked onto the reference clock both in
phase and frequency.
1 Altera recommends that you use the areset and locked signals in your designs to
control and observe the status of your PLL.
Clock Switchover
The clock switchover feature allows the PLL to switch between two reference input
clocks. Use this feature for clock redundancy or for a dual-clock domain application
such as in a system that turns on the redundant clock if the previous clock stops
running. The design can perform clock switchover automatically, when the clock is no
longer toggling or based on a user control signal, clkswitch.

The following clock switchover modes are supported in Stratix III PLLs:
■ Automatic switchover—The clock sense circuit monitors the current reference
clock and if it stops toggling, automatically switches to the other clock inclk0 or
inclk1.
■ Manual clock switchover—Clock switchover is controlled via the clkswitch
signal in this mode. When the clkswitch signal goes from logic low to logic
high, and stays high for at least three clock cycles, the reference clock to the PLL is
switched from inclk0 to inclk1, or vice-versa.
■ Automatic switchover with manual override—This mode combines Modes 1 and
2. When the clkswitch signal goes high, it overrides automatic clock switchover
mode.
Stratix III device PLLs support a fully configurable clock switchover capability.
Figure 6–32 shows the block diagram of the switchover circuit built into the PLL.
When the current reference clock is not present, the clock sense block automatically
switches to the backup clock for PLL reference. The clock switchover circuit also sends
out three status signals—clkbad[0], clkbad[1], and activeclock—from the
PLL to implement a custom switchover circuit in the logic array. You can select a clock
source as the backup clock by connecting it to the inclk1 port of the PLL in your
design.

Automatic Clock Switchover

Use the switchover circuitry to automatically switch between inclk0 and inclk1
when the current reference clock to the PLL stops toggling. For example, in
applications that require a redundant clock with the same frequency as the reference
clock, the switchover state machine generates a signal (clksw) that controls the
multiplexer select input as shown in Figure 6–32. In this case, inclk1 becomes the
reference clock for the PLL. When using the automatic switchover mode, you can
switch back and forth between inclk0 and inclk1 clocks any number of times,
when one of the two clocks fails and the other clock is available.

When using the automatic clock switchover mode, the following requirements must
be satisfied:
■ Both clock inputs must be running.
■ The period of the two clock inputs can differ by no more than 100% (2×).
If the current clock input stops toggling while the other clock is also not toggling,
switchover will not be initiated and the clkbad[0..1] signals will not be valid.
Also, if both clock inputs are not the same frequency, but their period difference is
within 100%, the clock sense block will detect when a clock stops toggling, but the
PLL may lose lock after the switchover is completed and need time to re-lock.
1 Altera recommends resetting the PLL using the areset signal to maintain the phase
relationships between the PLL input and output clocks when using clock switchover.
When using automatic switchover mode, the clkbad[0] and clkbad[1] signals
indicate the status of the two clock inputs. When they are asserted, the clock sense
block has detected that the corresponding clock input has stopped toggling. These
two signals are not valid if the frequency difference between inclk0 and inclk1 is
greater than 20%.
The activeclock signal indicates which of the two clock inputs (inclk0 or
inclk1) is being selected as the reference clock to the PLL. When the frequency
difference between the two clock inputs is more than 20%, the activeclock signal is
the only valid status signal.
Figure 6–33 shows an example waveform of the switchover feature when using the
automatic switchover mode. In this example, the inclk0 signal remains low. After
the inclk0 signal remains low for approximately two clock cycles, the clock sense
circuitry drives the clkbad[0] signal high. Also, because the reference clock signal is
not toggling, the switchover state machine controls the multiplexer through the
clksw signal to switch to the backup clock, inclk1.

the falling edge of inclk1.

Manual Override
In the automatic switchover with manual override mode, you can use the clkswitch
input for user- or system-controlled switch conditions. You can use this mode for
same-frequency switchover or to switch between inputs of different frequencies. For
example, if inclk0 is 66 MHz and inclk1 is 200 MHz, you must control the
switchover using clkswitch because the automatic clock-sense circuitry cannot
monitor clock input (inclk0, inclk1) frequencies with a frequency difference of
more than 100% (2×). This feature is useful when the clock sources originate from
multiple cards on the backplane, requiring a system-controlled switchover between
the frequencies of operation. You should choose the backup clock frequency and set
the m, n, c, and k counters accordingly so the VCO operates within the recommended
operating frequency range of 600 to 1,300 MHz. The ALTPLL MegaWizard Plug-in
Manager notifies users if a given combination of inclk0 and inclk1 frequencies
cannot meet this requirement. In the Quartus II software, the VCO value reported is
divided by the post scale counter (K).
Figure 6–34 shows an example of a waveform illustrating the switchover feature
when controlled by clkswitch. In this case, both clock sources are functional and
inclk0 is selected as the reference clock. clkswitch goes high, which starts the
switchover sequence. On the falling edge of inclk0, the counter's reference clock,
muxout, is gated off to prevent any clock glitching. On the falling edge of inclk1, the
reference clock multiplexer switches from inclk0 to inclk1 as the PLL reference,
and the activeclock signal changes to indicate which clock is currently feeding the
PLL.

(1) Both inclk0 and inclk1 must be running when the clkswitch signal goes high to initiate a manual clock switchover event.
In this mode, the activeclock signal mirrors the clkswitch signal. As both clocks
are still functional during the manual switch, neither clkbad signal goes high. Since
the switchover circuit is positive-edge sensitive, the falling edge of the clkswitch
signal does not cause the circuit to switch back from inclk1 to inclk0. When the
clkswitch signal goes high again, the process repeats. clkswitch and automatic
switch only work if the clock being switched to is available. If the clock is not
available, the state machine waits until the clock is available.

Manual Clock Switchover

In manual clock switchover mode, the clkswitch signal controls whether inclk0
or inclk1 is selected as the input clock to the PLL. By default, inclk0 is selected. A
low-to-high transition on clkswitch and clkswitch being held high for at least
three inclk cycles initiates a clock switchover event. You must bring clkswitch
back low again in order to perform another switchover event in the future. If you do
not require another switchover event in the future, you can leave clkswitch in a
logic high state after the initial switch. Pulsing clkswitch high for at least three
inclk cycles performs another switchover event. If inclk0 and inclk1 are
different frequencies and are always running, the clkswitch minimum high time
must be greater than or equal to three of the slower frequency inclk0/inclk1
cycles. Take note that manual switchover is only applicable when both clocks are
switching. Figure 6–35 shows the block diagram of the manual switchover circuit.

Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when implementing clock switchover in Stratix III PLLs.
■ Automatic clock switchover requires that the inclk0 and inclk1 frequencies be
within 100% (2×) of each other. Failing to meet this requirement causes the
clkbad[0] and clkbad[1] signals to not function properly.
■ When using manual clock switchover, the difference between inclk0 and
inclk1 can be more than 100% (2×). However, differences in frequency and/or
phase of the two clock sources will likely cause the PLL to lose lock. Resetting the
PLL ensures that the correct phase relationships are maintained between input
and output clocks.
1 Both inclk0 and inclk1 must be running when the clkswitch signal
goes high to instantiate the manual clock switchover event. Failing to meet
this requirement causes the clock switchover to not function properly.

■ Applications that require a clock switchover feature and a small frequency drift
should use a low-bandwidth PLL. The low-bandwidth PLL reacts more slowly
than a high-bandwidth PLL to reference input clock changes. When the
switchover happens, a low-bandwidth PLL propagates the stopping of the clock to
the output more slowly than a high-bandwidth PLL. However, be aware that the
low-bandwidth PLL also increases lock time.
■ After a switchover occurs, there may be a finite resynchronization period for the
PLL to lock onto a new clock. The exact amount of time it takes for the PLL to
re-lock depends on the PLL configuration.
■ The phase relationship between the input clock to the PLL and the output clock
from the PLL is important in your design. Assert areset for at least 10 ns after
performing a clock switchover. Wait for the locked signal to go high and be stable
before re-enabling the output clocks from the PLL.
■ Figure 6–36 shows how the VCO frequency gradually decreases when the current
clock is lost and then increases as the VCO locks on to the backup clock.
Figure 6–36. VCO Switchover Operating Frequency

Primary Clock Stops Running
Switchover Occurs
VCO Tracks Secondary Clock

ΔFvco
■ Disable the system during clock switchover if it is not tolerant of frequency

variations during the PLL resynchronization period. You can use the clkbad[0]
and clkbad[1] status signals to turn off the PFD (PFDENA = 0) so the VCO
maintains its most recent frequency. You can also use the state machine to switch
over to the secondary clock. When the PFD is re-enabled, output clock-enable
signals (clkena) can disable clock outputs during the switchover and
resynchronization period. Once the lock indication is stable, the system can
re-enable the output clocks.

Programmable Bandwidth
Stratix III PLLs provide advanced control of the PLL bandwidth using the PLL loop's
programmable characteristics, including loop filter and charge pump.
Background
PLL bandwidth is the measure of the PLL's ability to track the input clock and its
associated jitter. The closed-loop gain 3-dB frequency in the PLL determines the PLL
bandwidth. The bandwidth is approximately the unity gain point for open loop PLL
response. As Figure 6–37 shows, these points correspond to approximately the same
frequency. Stratix III PLLs provide three bandwidth settings—low, medium (default),
and high.

A high-bandwidth PLL provides a fast lock time and tracks jitter on the reference
clock source, passing it through to the PLL output. A low-bandwidth PLL filters out
reference clock jitter but increases lock time. Stratix III PLLs allow you to control the
bandwidth over a finite range to customize the PLL characteristics for a particular
application. The programmable bandwidth feature in Stratix III PLLs benefits
applications requiring clock switchover.
A high-bandwidth PLL can benefit a system that needs to accept a spread-spectrum
clock signal. Stratix III PLLs can track a spread-spectrum clock by using a
high-bandwidth setting. Using a low-bandwidth in this case could cause the PLL to
filter out the jitter on the input clock.
A low-bandwidth PLL can benefit a system using clock switchover. When the clock
switchover happens, the PLL input temporarily stops. A low-bandwidth PLL reacts
more slowly to changes on its input clock and takes longer to drift to a lower
frequency (caused by the input stopping) than a high-bandwidth PLL.
Implementation
Traditionally, external components such as the VCO or loop filter control a PLL's
bandwidth. Most loop filters consist of passive components such as resistors and
capacitors that take up unnecessary board space and increase cost. With Stratix III
PLLs, all the components are contained within the device to increase performance and
decrease cost.
When you specify the bandwidth setting (low, medium, or high) in the ALTPLL
MegaWizard Plug-in Manager, the Quartus II software automatically sets the
corresponding charge pump and loop filter (Icp, R, C) values to achieve the desired
bandwidth range.
Figure 6–38 shows the loop filter and the components that you can set using the
Quartus II software. The components are the loop filter resistor, R, the high frequency
capacitor, CH, and the charge pump current, IUP or IDN.

Phase-Shift Implementation
Phase shift is used to implement a robust solution for clock delays in Stratix III
devices. Phase shift is implemented by using a combination of the VCO phase output
and the counter starting time. The VCO phase output and counter starting time is the
most accurate method of inserting delays, since it is based purely on counter settings,
which are independent of process, voltage, and temperature.
You can phase-shift the output clocks from the Stratix III PLLs in either of these two
resolutions:
■ Fine resolution using VCO phase taps
■ Coarse resolution using counter starting time
Fine-resolution phase shifts are implemented by allowing any of the output counters
(C[n..0]) or the m counter to use any of the eight phases of the VCO as the reference
clock. This allows you to adjust the delay time with a fine resolution. The minimum
delay time that you can insert using this method is defined by Equation 6–1.
Equation 6–1.
1 1 N
Φfine = T = =
8 VCO 8fVCO 8MfREF
where fREF is the input reference clock frequency.

For example, if fREF is 100 MHz, n is 1, and m is 8, then fVCO is 800 MHz and Φfine equals
156.25 ps. This phase shift is defined by the PLL operating frequency, which is
governed by the reference clock frequency and the counter settings.
Coarse-resolution phase shifts are implemented by delaying the start of the counters
for a predetermined number of counter clocks. You can express coarse phase shift as
shown in Equation 6–2.
Equation 6–2.
C − 1 (C − 1)N
Φcoarse = =
fVco MfREF
where C is the count value set for the counter delay time (this is the initial setting in
the PLL usage section of the compilation report in the Quartus II software). If the
initial value is 1, C – 1 = 0° phase shift.
Figure 6–39 shows an example of phase-shift insertion with the fine resolution using
the VCO phase taps method. The eight phases from the VCO are shown and labeled
for reference. For this example, CLK0 is based off the 0phase from the VCO and has
the C value for the counter set to one. The CLK0 signal is divided by four, two VCO
clocks for high time and two VCO clocks for low time. CLK1 is based off the 135°
phase tap from the VCO and also has the C value for the counter set to one. The CLK1
signal is also divided by 4. In this case, the two clocks are offset by 3Φfine. CLK2 is based
off the 0phase from the VCO but has the C value for the counter set to three. This
arrangement creates a delay of 2Φcoarse (two complete VCO periods).

You can use the coarse- and fine-phase shifts to implement clock delays in Stratix III
devices.
Stratix III devices support dynamic phase-shifting of VCO phase taps only. The phase
shift is reconfigurable any number of times, and each phase shift takes about one
SCANCLK cycle, allowing you to implement large phase shifts quickly.
PLL Reconfiguration
PLLs use several divide counters and different VCO phase taps to perform frequency
synthesis and phase shifts. In Stratix III PLLs, you can reconfigure both the counter
settings and phase-shift the PLL output clock in real time. You can also change the
charge pump and loop-filter components, which dynamically affects the PLL
bandwidth. You can use these PLL components to update the output-clock frequency
and the PLL bandwidth and to phase-shift in real time, without reconfiguring the
entire Stratix III device.
The ability to reconfigure the PLL in real time is useful in applications that operate at
multiple frequencies. It is also useful in prototyping environments, allowing you to
sweep PLL output frequencies and adjust the output-clock phase dynamically. For
example, a system generating test patterns is required to generate and transmit
patterns at 75 or 150 MHz, depending on the requirements of the device under test.
Reconfiguring the PLL components in real time allows you to switch between two
such output frequencies within a few microseconds. You can also use this feature to
adjust clock-to-out (tCO) delays in real time by changing the PLL output clock phase
shift. This approach eliminates the need to regenerate a configuration file with the
new PLL settings.

PLL Reconfiguration Hardware Implementation

The following PLL components are reconfigurable in real time:
■ Pre-scale counter (n)
■ Feedback counter (m)
■ Post-scale output counters (C0 – C9)
■ Post VCO Divider (K)
■ Dynamically adjust the charge-pump current (Icp) and loop-filter components (R,
C) to facilitate reconfiguration of the PLL bandwidth
Figure 6–40 shows how PLL counter settings can be dynamically adjusted by shifting
their new settings into a serial shift-register chain or scan chain. Serial data is input to
the scan chain via the scandataport and shift registers are clocked by scanclk.
The maximum scanclk frequency is 100 MHz. Serial data is shifted through the scan
chain as long as the scanclkena signal stays asserted. After the last bit of data is
clocked, asserting the configupdate signal for at least one scanclk clock cycle
causes the PLL configuration bits to be synchronously updated with the data in the
scan registers.

2. Serial data (scandata) is shifted into the scan chain on the second rising edge of
scanclk.
3. After all 234 bits (Top/Bottom PLLs) or 180 bits (Left/Right PLLs) have been
scanned into the scan chain, the scanclkena signal is de-asserted to prevent
inadvertent shifting of bits in the scan chain.
4. The configupdate signal is asserted for one scanclk cycle to update the PLL
counters with the contents of the scan chain.
5. The scandone signal goes high indicating the PLL is being reconfigured. A falling

6. Reset the PLL using the areset signal if you make any changes to the M, N, or

7. Steps 1 through 5 can be repeated to reconfigure the PLL any number of times.

1 When you reconfigure the counter clock frequency, you cannot reconfigure the
corresponding counter phase shift settings using the same interface. Instead,
reconfigure the phase shifts in real time using the dynamic phase shift reconfiguration
interface. If you reconfigure the counter frequency, but wish to keep the same
non-zero phase shift setting (for example, 90 degrees) on the clock output, you must
reconfigure the phase shift immediately after reconfiguring the counter clock
frequency.
Post-Scale Counters (C0 to C9)

The multiply or divide values and duty cycle of post-scale counters can be
reconfigured in real time. Each counter has an 8-bit high-time setting and an 8-bit
low-time setting. The duty cycle is the ratio of output
high- or low-time to the total cycle time, which is the sum of the two. Additionally,
these counters have two control bits, rbypass, for bypassing the counter, and
rselodd, to select the output clock duty cycle.
When the rbypass bit is set to 1, it bypasses the counter, resulting in a divide by 1.
When this bit is set to 0, the high- and low-time counters are added to compute the
effective division of the VCO output frequency. For example, if the post-scale divide
factor is 10, the high- and low-count values could be set to 5 and 5, respectively, to
achieve a 50-50% duty cycle. The PLL implements this duty cycle by transitioning the
output clock from high to low on the rising edge of the VCO output clock. However, a
4 and 6 setting for the high- and low-count values, respectively, would produce an
output clock with 40-60% duty cycle.

The rselodd bit indicates an odd divide factor for the VCO output frequency along
with a 50% duty cycle. For example, if the post-scale divide factor is 3, the high- and
low-time count values could be set to 2 and 1, respectively, to achieve this division.
This implies a 67%-33% duty cycle. If you need a 50%-50% duty cycle, you can set the
rselodd control bit to 1 to achieve this duty cycle despite an odd division factor. The
PLL implements this duty cycle by transitioning the output clock from high to low on
a falling edge of the VCO output clock. When you set rselodd = 1, you subtract 0.5
cycles from the high time and you add 0.5 cycles to the low time. For example:
■ High-time count = 2 cycles
■ Low-time count = 1 cycle
■ rselodd = 1 effectively equals:
■ High-time count = 1.5 cycles
■ Low-time count = 1.5 cycles
■ Duty cycle = (1.5/3) % high-time count and (1.5/3) % low-time count
Scan Chain Description

The length of the scan chain varies for different Stratix III PLLs. The Top/Bottom
PLLs have 10 post-scale counters and a 234-bit scan chain, while the Left/Right PLLs
have 7 post-scale counters and a 180-bit scan chain. Table 6–16 lists the number of bits

Dynamic Phase-Shifting
The dynamic phase-shifting feature allows the output phases of individual PLL
outputs to be dynamically adjusted relative to each other and to the reference clock
without the need to send serial data through the scan chain of the corresponding PLL.
This feature simplifies the interface and allows you to quickly adjust clock-to-out (tCO)
delays by changing the output clock phase-shift in real time. This adjustment is
achieved by incrementing or decrementing the VCO phase-tap selection to a given C
counter or to the M counter. The phase is shifted by 1/8 of the VCO frequency at a
time. The output clocks are active during this phase-reconfiguration process.
Table 6–21 lists the control signals that are used for dynamic phase-shifting.

The procedure to perform one dynamic phase-shift step is as follows:

1. Set phaseupdown and phasecounterselect as required.
2. Assert phasestep for at least two scanclk cycles. Each phasestep pulse
enables one phase shift.
3. De-assert phasestep.
4. Wait for phasedone to go high.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 as many times as required to perform multiple
phase-shifts.
All signals are synchronous to scanclk. They are latched on scanclk edges and
must meet tsu/th requirements with respect to scanclk edges.

Dynamic phase-shifting can be repeated indefinitely. All signals are synchronous to

scanclk and must meet tsu/th requirements with respect to scanclk edges.
The phasestep signal is latched on the negative edge of scanclk. In Figure 6–44,
this is shown by the second scanclk falling edge. phasestep must stay high for at
least two scanclk cycles. On the second scanclk rising edge after phasestep is
latched (the fourth scanclk rising edge in Figure 6–44), the values of phaseupdown
and phasecounterselect are latched and the PLL starts dynamic phase-shifting
for the specified counters and in the indicated direction. On the fourth scanclk
rising edge, phasedone goes high to low and remains low until the PLL finishes
dynamic phase-shifting. You can perform another dynamic phase-shift after the
phasedone signal goes from low to high.
Depending on the VCO and scanclk frequencies, phasedone low time (tCONFIGPHASE )
may be greater than or less than one scanclk cycle.
After phasedone goes from low to high, you can perform another dynamic phase
shift. Phasestep pulses must be at least one scanclk cycle apart.

PLL Cascading and Clock Network Guidelines

When cascading PLLs in Stratix III devices, the source (upstream) PLL must have a
low-bandwidth setting while the destination (downstream) PLL must have a
high-bandwidth setting. There must be no overlap of the bandwidth ranges of the two
PLLs.
To ensure that the memory interface’s PLL is configured correctly in the external
memory interface design, the following settings are required:
■ The PLL used to generate the memory output clock signals and write data/clock
signals must be set to No compensation mode to minimize output clock jitter.
■ The reference input clock signal to the PLL must be driven by the dedicated clock
input pin located adjacent to the PLL, or from the clock output signal from the
adjacent PLL. To minimize output clock jitter, the reference input clock pin must
not be routed through the core using global or regional clock networks. If reference
clock is cascaded from another PLL, that upstream PLL must be configured in No
compensation mode and Low bandwidth mode.
Spread-Spectrum Tracking
Stratix III devices can accept a spread-spectrum input with typical modulation
frequencies. However, the device cannot automatically detect that the input is a
spread-spectrum signal. Instead, the input signal looks like deterministic jitter at the
input of PLL. Stratix III PLLs can track a spread-spectrum input clock as long as it is
within the input-jitter tolerance specifications and the modulation frequency of the
input clock is below the PLL bandwidth which is specified in the fitter report.
Stratix III devices cannot internally generate spread-spectrum clocks.
PLL Specifications
f For information about PLL timing specifications, refer to the DC and Switching
Characteristics of Stratix III Devices chapter.

Modular I/O Banks

The I/O pins in Stratix III devices are arranged in groups called modular I/O banks.
Depending on device densities, the number of I/O banks range from 16 to 24 banks.
The size of each bank is 24, 32, 36, 40, or 48 I/O pins. Figure 7–3 to Figure 7–5 show
the number of I/O pins available in each I/O bank and packaging information for
different sets of available devices.
In Stratix III devices, the maximum number of I/O banks per side is four or six,
depending on the device density. When migrating between devices with a different
number of I/O banks per side, it is the middle or “B” bank which is removed or
inserted. For example, when moving from a 24-bank device to a 16-bank device, the
banks that are dropped are “B” banks, namely: 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, and 8B.
Similarly, when moving from a 16-bank device to a 24-bank device, the banks that are
added are “B” banks, namely: 1B, 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7B, and 8B.
During migration from a smaller device to a larger device, the bank size increases or
remains the same but never decreases. For example, banks may increase from a size of
24 I/O to a bank of size 32, 36, 40, or 48 I/O, but never decrease. Table 7–3 lists the
increase in bank size when migrating from a smaller device to a larger device.

The I/O element (IOE) in Stratix III devices contains a bi-directional I/O buffer and
I/O registers to support a complete embedded bi-directional single data rate or DDR
transfer. The IOEs are located in I/O blocks around the periphery of the Stratix III
device. There are up to four IOEs per row I/O block and four IOEs per column I/O
block. The row IOEs drive row, column, or direct link interconnects. The column IOEs
drive column interconnects.
The Stratix III bi-directional IOE also supports the following features:
■ Programmable input delay
■ Programmable output-current strength
■ Programmable slew rate
■ Programmable output delay
■ Programmable bus-hold
■ Programmable pull-up resistor
■ Open-drain output
■ On-chip series termination with calibration

■ On-chip series termination without calibration

■ On-chip parallel termination with calibration (OCT RT)
■ On-chip differential termination (OCT RD)
■ PCI clamping diode
The I/O registers are composed of the input path for handling data from the pin to the
core, the output path for handling data from the core to the pin, and the output-enable
(OE) path for handling the OE signal for the output buffer. These registers allow faster
source-synchronous register-to-register transfers and resynchronization. The input
path consists of the DDR input registers, alignment and synchronization registers,
and HDR. You can bypass each block of the input path.

applications, refer to the External Memory Interfaces in Stratix III Devices chapter.

3.3-V I/O Interface

Stratix III I/O buffers are fully compatible with 3.3-V I/O standards, and you can use
them as transmitters or receivers in your system. The output high voltage (VOH ),
output low voltage (V OL), input high voltage (VIH), and input low voltage (VIL ) levels
meet the 3.3-V I/O standards specifications defined by EIA/JEDEC Standard JESD8-B
with margin when the Stratix III V CCIO voltage is powered by 3.3 V or 3.0 V.
For device reliability and proper operation when interfacing with a 3.3 V I/O system
using Stratix III devices, ensure that the absolute maximum ratings of Stratix III
devices are not violated. Altera recommends performing IBIS simulation to determine
that the overshoot and undershoot voltages are within the guidelines.
When using a Stratix III device as a transmitter, some techniques can limit the
overshoot and undershoot at the I/O pins, such as slow slew rate and series
termination, but they are not mandatory. Transmission line effects that cause large
voltage deviation at the receiver are associated with impedance mismatch between
the driver and transmission line. By matching the impedance of the driver to the
characteristic impedance of the transmission line, overshoot voltage can be
significantly reduced. You can use a series termination resistor placed physically close
to the driver to match the total driver impedance to the transmission line impedance.
Stratix III devices support OCT RS for all LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O standards in all I/O
banks.
When using a Stratix III device as a receiver, a clamping diode can be used to limit the
overshoot (on-chip or off-chip), but it is not mandatory. Stratix III devices provide an
optional on-chip PCI-clamp diode for column I/O pins. You can use this diode to
protect I/O pins against overshoot voltage.
Another method for limiting overshoot is reducing the bank supply voltage (VCCIO) to
3.0 V. With this method, the clamp diode (on-chip or off-chip), though not mandatory,
can sufficiently clamp overshoot voltage to within the DC and AC input voltage
specification. The clamped voltage can be expressed as the sum of the supply voltage
(VCCIO ) and the diode forward voltage. By lowering VCCIO to 3.0 V you can reduce
overshoot and undershoot for all I/O standards, including 3.3-V LVTTL/LVCMOS,
3.0-V LVTTL/LVCMOS, and 3.0-V PCI/PCI-X. Additionally, lowering V CCIO to 3.0 V
reduces power consumption.
f For more information about absolute maximum rating and maximum allowed
overshoot during transitions, refer to the DC and Switching Characteristics of Stratix III
Devices chapter.
External Memory Interfaces

In addition to the I/O registers in each IOE, Stratix III devices also have dedicated
registers and phase-shift circuitry on all I/O banks for interfacing with external
memory interfaces. Table 7–4 lists the memory interfaces and the corresponding I/O
standards supported by Stratix III devices.

High-Speed Differential I/O with DPA Support

Stratix III devices contain dedicated circuitry for supporting differential standards at
speeds up to 1.6 Gbps. The high-speed differential I/O circuitry supports the
following high speed I/O interconnect standards and applications: Utopia IV, SPI-4.2,
SFI-4, 10 Gigabit Ethernet XSBI, RapidIOTM, and NPSI. Stratix III devices support ×2,
×4, ×6, ×7, ×8, and ×10 SERDES modes for high-speed differential I/O interfaces and
×4, ×6, ×7, ×8, and ×10 SERDES modes with dedicated DPA circuitry. DPA minimizes
bit errors, simplifies PCB layout and timing management for high-speed data transfer,
and eliminates channel-to-channel and channel-to-clock skew in high-speed data
transmission systems.
1 ×2 mode is supported by the DDR registers and is not included in SERDES. For
Stratix III devices, SERDES can be bypassed in the Quartus II MegaWizardTM Plug-In
Manager for the ALTLVDS megafunction to support DDR (×2) operation.
I/O support:
■ DPA
■ Phase-locked loops (PLLs)
f For more information about DPA support, refer to the High-Speed Differential I/O
Interfaces with DPA in Stratix III Devices chapter.
Programmable Current Strength

The output buffer for each Stratix III device I/O pin has a programmable
current-strength control for certain I/O standards. You can use programmable current
strength to mitigate the effects of high signal attenuation due to a long transmission
line or a legacy backplane. The LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, and HSTL standards have
several levels of current strength that you can control. Table 7–5 lists information
about programmable current strength.

I/O standards.
Altera recommends performing IBIS or SPICE simulations to determine the right

current strength setting for your specific application.
Programmable Slew Rate Control

The output buffer for each Stratix III device regular- and dual-function I/O pin has a
programmable output slew-rate control that you can configure for low-noise or
high-speed performance. A faster slew rate provides high-speed transitions for
high-performance systems. A slow slew rate can help reduce system noise, but adds a
nominal delay to rising and falling edges. Each I/O pin has an individual slew-rate
control, allowing you to specify the slew rate on a pin-by-pin basis.
1 You cannot use the programmable slew rate feature when using OCT RS.
The Quartus II software allows four settings for programmable slew rate control—0,
1, 2, and 3—where 0 is slow slew rate and 3 is fast slew rate. Table 7–6 lists the default
setting for the I/O standards supported in the Quartus II software.

You can use faster slew rates to improve the available timing margin in
memory-interface applications or when the output pin has high-capacitive loading.
Altera recommends performing IBIS or SPICE simulations to determine the right slew
rate setting for your specific application.
Programmable Delay
The Stratix III device IOE includes programmable delays (refer to Figure 7–7) that you
can activate to ensure zero hold times, minimize setup times, or increase
clock-to-output times. Each pin can have a different input delay from pin to input
register or a delay from the output register to the output pin values to ensure that the
bus has the same delay going into or out of the device. This feature helps read and
time margins as it minimizes the uncertainties between signals in the bus.
f For the programmable IOE delay specifications, refer to the DC and Switching
Programmable Output Buffer Delay

Stratix III devices support delay chains built inside the single-ended output buffer, as
shown in Figure 7–7 on page 7–13. The delay chains can independently control the
rising and falling edge delays of the output buffer, providing the ability to adjust the
output-buffer duty cycle, compensate channel-to-channel skew, reduce simultaneous
switching output (SSO) noise by deliberately introducing channel-to-channel skew,
and improve high-speed memory-interface timing margins. Stratix III devices support
four levels of output buffer delay settings. The default setting is No Delay.
f For the programmable output buffer delay specifications, refer to the DC and
Switching Characteristics of Stratix III Devices chapter.
Open-Drain Output
Stratix III devices provide an optional open-drain output (equivalent to an
open-collector output) for each I/O pin. When configured as open-drain, the logic
value of the output is either high-Z or 0. Typically, an external pull-up resistor is
required to provide logic high.

Bus Hold
Each Stratix III device I/O pin provides an optional bus-hold feature. The bus-hold
circuitry can weakly hold the signal on an I/O pin at its last-driven state. Because the
bus-hold feature holds the last-driven state of the pin until the next input signal is
present, you do not need an external pull-up or pull-down resistor to hold a signal
level when the bus is tri-stated.
The bus-hold circuitry also pulls non-driven pins away from the input threshold
voltage where noise can cause unintended high-frequency switching. You can select
this feature individually for each I/O pin. The bus-hold output drives no higher than
VCCIO to prevent over-driving signals. If the bus-hold feature is enabled, the
programmable pull-up option cannot be used. Disable the bus-hold feature if the I/O
pin is configured for differential signals.
The bus-hold circuitry uses a resistor with a nominal resistance (RBH) of approximately
7 kΩ to weakly pull the signal level to the last-driven state.
f For the specific sustaining current driven through this resistor and the overdrive
current used to identify the next-driven input level, refer to the DC and Switching
Characteristics of Stratix III Devices chapter. This information is provided for each V CCIO
voltage level.
The bus-hold circuitry is active only after configuration. When going into user mode,
the bus-hold circuit captures the value on the pin present at the end of configuration.
Programmable Pull-Up Resistor

Each Stratix III device I/O pin provides an optional programmable pull-up resistor
during user mode. If you enable this feature for an I/O pin, the pull-up resistor
(typically 25 kΩ) weakly holds the I/O to the VCCIO level.
Programmable pull-up resistors are only supported on user I/O pins and are not
supported on dedicated configuration pins, JTAG pins, or dedicated clock pins. If the
programmable pull-up option is enabled, you cannot use the bus-hold feature.
1 When the optional DEV_OE signal drives low, all I/O pins remain tri-stated even with
programmable pull-up option enabled.
Programmable Pre-Emphasis
Stratix III LVDS transmitters support programmable pre-emphasis to compensate for
the frequency dependent attenuation of the transmission line. The Quartus II software
allows four settings for programmable pre-emphasis—zero, low, medium, and high.
The default setting is low.
f For more information about programmable pre-emphasis, refer to the High-Speed

Differential I/O Interfaces with DPA in the Stratix III Devices chapter.

Programmable Differential Output Voltage

Stratix III LVDS transmitters support programmable V OD. The programmable V OD
settings enable you to adjust output eye height to optimize for trace length and power
consumption. A higher VOD swing improves voltage margins at the receiver end while
a smaller VOD swing reduces power consumption. The Quartus II software allows four
settings for programmable VOD—low, medium low, medium high, and high. The
default setting is medium low.
f For more information about programmable V OD, refer to the High Speed Differential I/O
Interfaces with DPA in the Stratix III Devices chapter.
MultiVolt I/O Interface

The Stratix III architecture supports the MultiVoltTM I/O interface feature that allows
Stratix III devices in all packages to interface with systems of different supply
voltages.
You can connect the VCCIO pins to a 1.2-, 1.5-, 1.8-, 2.5-, 3.0 or 3.3-V power supply,
depending on the output requirements. The output levels are compatible with
systems of the same voltage as the power supply. (For example, when VCCIO pins are
connected to a 1.5-V power supply, the output levels are compatible with 1.5-V
systems.)
You must connect the Stratix III VCCPD power pins to a 2.5-, 3.0 or 3.3-V power supply.
Using these power pins to supply the pre-driver power to the output buffers increases
the performance of the output pins. Table 7–7 summarizes Stratix III MultiVolt I/O
support.
1 For VCCIO = 3.3 V, VCCPD=3.3 V. For VCCIO = 3.0 V, VCCPD = 3.0 V. For VCCIO = 2.5 V or less,
VCCPD = 2.5 V.

Input Signal (V) Output Signal (V)

(1) The pin current may be slightly higher than the default value. You must verify that the driving device’s VOL maximum and VOH minimum voltages
do not violate the applicable Stratix III VIL maximum and VIH minimum voltage specifications.
(2) Use on-chip PCI clamp diode for column I/Os or external PCI clamp diode for row I/Os to protect the input pins against overshoot voltage.
(3) Each I/O bank of a Stratix III device has its own VCCIO pins and supports only one Vccio , either 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, or 3.0 V. The LVDS I/O standard
requires that a VCCIO of 2.5 V cannot be assigned in a same bank with a 3.0-V or 3.3-V output signal.

OCT Support
OCT Support
Stratix III devices feature dynamic series and parallel on-chip termination to provide
I/O impedance matching and termination capabilities. OCT improves signal quality
over external termination by reducing parasitic, saving board space, and reducing
external component costs.
Stratix III devices support OCT RS with or without calibration, OCT RT with
calibration, and dynamic series and parallel termination for single-ended I/O
standards as well as OCT RD for differential LVDS I/O standards. Stratix III devices
support OCT in all I/O banks by selecting one of the OCT I/O standards.
Stratix III devices support OCT RS and R T in the same I/O bank for different I/O
standards if they use the same VCCIO supply voltage. Each I/O in an I/O bank can be
independently configured to support OCT R S, programmable current strength, or
OCT RT.
1 You cannot configure both OCT R S and programmable current strength for the same
I/O buffer.
A pair of RUP and RDN pins are available in a given I/O bank, and are shared for
series- and parallel-calibrated termination. The RUP and RDN pins share the same VCCIO
and GND, respectively, with the I/O bank where they are located. The RUP and RDN
pins are dual-purpose I/Os, and function as regular I/Os if you do not use the
calibration circuit. When used for calibration, the RUP pin is connected to V CCIO
through an external 25-Ω ±1% or 50-Ω ±1% resistor for an OCT R S value of 25 Ω or 50
Ω, respectively; the RDN pin is connected to GND through an external 25-Ω ±1% or
50-Ω ±1% resistor for an OCT RS value of 25 Ω or 50 Ω, respectively. For OCT RT, the
RUP pin is connected to VCCIO through an external 50-Ω ±1% resistor; the RDN pin is
connected to GND through an external 50-Ω±1% resistor.
On-Chip Series Termination without Calibration

Stratix III devices support driver-impedance matching to provide the I/O driver with
controlled output impedance that closely matches the impedance of the transmission
line. As a result, you can significantly reduce reflections. Stratix III devices support
OCT RS for single-ended I/O standards (see Figure 7–8).
The R S shown in Figure 7–8 is the intrinsic impedance of the output transistors. The
typical RS values are 25 Ω and 50 Ω. When matching impedance is selected, current
strength is no longer selectable.

To use OCT for the SSTL Class I standard, you should select the 50-Ω on-chip series
termination setting, eliminating the external 25-Ω RS (to match the 50-Ω transmission
line). For the SSTL Class II standard, you should select the 25-Ω on-chip series
termination setting (to match the 50-Ω transmission line and the near-end external
50-Ω pull-up to VTT ).
On-Chip Series Termination with Calibration

Stratix III devices support OCT RS with calibration in all banks. The OCT RS
calibration circuit compares the total impedance of the I/O buffer to the external
25-Ω ±1% or 50-Ω ±1% resistors connected to the RUP and RDN pins, and dynamically
enables or disables the transistors until they match. The R S shown in Figure 7–9 is the
intrinsic impedance of transistors. Calibration occurs at the end of device
configuration. When the calibration circuit finds the correct impedance, it powers
down and stops changing the characteristics of the drivers. When calibration is not
taking place, the RUP and RDN pins go to a tri-state condition.

Expanded On-Chip Series Termination with Calibration

OCT calibration circuits always adjust OCT R S to match the external resistors
connected to the RUP and RDN pins, it is possible to achieve different OCT R S values
besides the 25- and 50-Ω resistors. Theoretically you can always change the resistance
connected to the RUP and RDN pins accordingly if you require a different OCT RS
value. Practically, the OCT R S range, which Stratix III devices can support, is limited
due to the output buffer size and granularity limitations. Table 7–9 shows expanded
OCT RS with calibration supported in Stratix III devices.The Quartus II software only
allows discrete OCT R S calibration settings of 25 Ω, 40 Ω, 50 Ω, and 60 Ω. You can select
the closest discrete value of OCT RS with calibration settings in the Quartus II software
to your system to get the closest timing and IBIS model information. For example, if
you use 20-Ω OCT R S with calibration in your system, you can select 25-Ω OCT RS with
calibration setting in the Quartus II software to get the closest timing and IBIS model
information.

(1) The expanded On-Chip Series Termination with calibration of SSTL and HSTL is for impedance matching to improve signal integrity and not for
meeting JEDEC standard.
Left Shift Series Termination Control

Stratix III devices support left shift series termination control. You can use the left
shift series termination control to get the calibrated OCT RS with half of the
impedance value of the external reference resistors connected to RUP and RDN pins.
This feature is useful in applications which require both 25-Ω and 50-Ω calibrated
OCT RS at the same VCCIO. For example, if your applications require 25-Ω and 50-Ω
calibrated OCT RS for SSTL–2 Class I and Class II I/O standards, you would only
require one OCT calibration block with 50-Ω external reference resistors. You can
enable this feature in the ALTIOBUF megafunction in the Quartus II software. The
Quartus II software only allows the left shift series termination control for 25-Ω
calibrated OCT RS with 50-Ω external reference resistors connected to RUP and RDN
pins. You can only use left shift series termination control for I/O standards that
support 25 Ω-calibrated OCT RS .
1 Left shift series termination control is automatically enabled if you use a bidirectional
I/O with 25- Ω calibrated OCT RS and 50- Ω parallel OCT.
f For more information about how to enable left shift series termination in the
ALTIOBUF megafunction, refer to the ALTIOBUF Megafunction User Guide.

OCT Support
On-Chip Parallel Termination with Calibration

Stratix III devices support OCT RT with calibration in all banks. OCT RT with
calibration is only supported for input or bi-directional pin configurations. For input
pins, you can enable OCT RT continuously. However, for bi-directional I/O, OCT RT is
enabled or disabled depending on whether or not the bi-directional I/O acts as a
transmitter or receiver. Output pin configurations do not support OCT RT with
calibration. Figure 7–10 shows OCT RT with calibration. When OCT RT is used, the
VCCIO of the bank has to match the I/O standard of the pin where the parallel OCT is
enabled.

The OCT R T calibration circuit compares the total impedance of the I/O buffer to the
external 50-Ω ±1% resistors connected to the RUP and RDN pins and dynamically
enables or disables the transistors until they match. Calibration occurs at the end of
device configuration. When the calibration circuit finds the correct impedance, it
powers down and stops changing the characteristics of the drivers. Table 7–10 lists the
I/O standards that support OCT RT with calibration.

Dynamic OCT
Stratix III devices support on-off dynamic series and parallel termination for a
bi-directional I/O in all I/O banks. Figure 7–11 shows the termination schemes
supported in the Stratix III device. Dynamic parallel termination is enabled only
when the bi-directional I/O acts as a receiver and is disabled when it acts as a driver.
Similarly, dynamic series termination is enabled only when the bi-directional I/O acts
as a driver and is disabled when it acts as a receiver. This feature is useful for
terminating any high-performance bi-directional path because the signal integrity is
optimized depending on the direction of the data.
You should connect a bi-directional pin that uses both 25-Ω or 50-Ω series termination
and 50-Ω input termination to a calibration block that has a 50-Ω external resistor
connected to its RUP and RDN pins. The 25-Ω series termination on the bi-directional
pin is achieved through internal divide by two circuits.

LVDS Input On-Chip Termination (RD)

Stratix III devices support OCT for differential LVDS input buffers with a nominal
resistance value of 10 Ω, as shown in Figure 7–12. You can enable OCT RD in row I/O
banks when VCCIO and VCCPD are set to 2.5 V. The column I/O banks do not support
OCT RD. The dedicated clock input pairs CLK[1,3,8,10][p,n],
PLL_L[1,4]_CLK[p,n], and PLL_R[1,4]_CLK[p,n] on the row I/O banks of the
Stratix III devices do not support OCT RD. Dedicated clock input pairs

OCT Calibration
Sharing an OCT Calibration Block in Multiple I/O Banks

An OCT calibration block has the same VCCIO as the I/O bank that contains the block.
OCT RS calibration is supported on all I/O banks with different VCCIO voltage
standards, up to the number of available OCT calibration blocks. You can configure
I/O banks to receive calibrated codes from any OCT calibration block with the same
VCCIO. All I/O banks with the same VCCIO can share one OCT calibration block, even if
that particular I/O bank has an OCT calibration block.
For example, Figure 7–16 shows a group of I/O banks that have the same VCCIO
voltage. If a group of I/O banks have the same VCCIO voltage, you can use one OCT
calibration block to calibrate the group of I/O banks placed around the periphery.
Because 3B, 4C, 6C, and 7B have the same V CCIO as bank 7A, you can calibrate all four
I/O banks (3B, 4C, 6C, and 7B) with the OCT calibration block located in bank 7A.
You can enable this by serially shifting out OCT RS calibration codes from the OCT
calibration block located in bank 7A to the I/O banks located around the periphery.

OCT Calibration Block Modes of Operation

Stratix III devices support calibration OCT RS and OCT RT in all I/O banks. The
calibration can occur in either power-up mode or user mode.
Power-Up Mode
In power-up mode, OCT calibration is automatically performed at power up and
calibrated codes are shifted to selected I/O buffers before transitioning to user mode.

OCT Calibration
User Mode
During user mode, OCTUSRCLK, ENAOCT, nCLRUSR, and ENASER[9..0] signals are
used to calibrate and serially transfer calibrated codes from each OCT calibration
block to any I/O. Table 7–12 lists the user controlled calibration block signal names
and their descriptions.
Table 7–12. OCT Calibration Block Ports for User Control and Description
Signal Name Description
OCTUSRCLK Clock for OCT block.
ENAOCT Enable OCT Termination (generated by user IP).
ENASER[9..0] When ENAOCT = 0, each signal enables the OCT serializer for the
corresponding OCT calibration block.
When ENAOCT = 1, each signal enables OCT calibration for the
corresponding OCT calibration block.
S2PENA_<bank#> Serial-to-parallel load enable per I/O bank.
nCLRUSR Clear user.
Figure 7–17 shows the flow of the user signal. When ENAOCT is 1, all OCT calibration
blocks are in calibration mode, and when ENAOCT is 0, all OCT calibration blocks are
in serial data transfer mode. The OCTUSRCLK clock frequency must be 20 MHz or less.
1 You must generate all user signals on the rising edge of OCTUSRCLK.

OCT Calibration
OCT Calibration
Figure 7–18 shows the user-mode signal-timing waveforms. To calibrate OCT
block[N] (where N is a calibration block number), you must assert ENAOCT one cycle
before asserting ENASER[N]. Also, nCLRUSR must be set to low for one OCTUSRCLK
cycle before ENASER[N] signal is asserted. An asserted ENASER[N] signals for 1000
OCTUSRCLK cycles to perform OCTRS and OCTRT calibration. ENAOCT can be
deasserted one clock cycle after the last ENASER is deasserted.
Serial Data Transfer

When calibration is complete, you must serially shift out the 28-bit OCT calibration
code (14-bit OCT RS code and 14-bit OCT RT) from each OCT calibration block to the
corresponding I/O buffers. Only one OCT calibration block can send out the codes at
any given time by asserting only one ENASER[N] signal at a time. After ENAOCT is
deasserted, you must wait at least 1 OCTUSRCLK cycle to enable any ENASER[N]
signal to begin serial transfer. To shift 28-bit code from OCT calibration block[N],
ENASER[N] must be asserted for exactly 28 OCTUSRCLK cycles. There must be at least
one OCTUSRCLK cycle gap between two consecutive asserted ENASER signals. For
these requirements, refer to Figure 7–18.

After calibrated codes are shifted serially to the corresponding I/O buffers, they must
be converted from serial format to parallel format before being used in the I/O
buffers. Figure 7–18 shows S2PENA signals that can be asserted at any time to update
the calibration codes in each I/O bank. All I/O banks that received the codes from the
same OCT calibration block can have S2PENA asserted at the same time, or at a
different time, even while another OCT calibration block is calibrating and serially
shifting codes. The S2PENA signal is asserted one OCTUSRCLK cycle after ENASER is
deasserted for at least 25 ns. You cannot use I/Os for transmitting or receiving data
when their S2PENA is asserted for parallel codes transfer.
Example of Using Multiple OCT Calibration Blocks

Figure 7–19 shows a signal timing waveform for two OCT calibration blocks doing RS
and RT calibration. Calibration blocks can start calibrating at different times by
asserting ENASER signals at different times. ENAOCT must stay asserted while any
calibration is ongoing. nCLRUSR must be set to low for one OCTUSRCLK cycle before
each ENASER[N] signal is asserted. In Figure 7–19, when nCLRUSR is set to 0 for the
second time to initialize OCT calibration block 0, this does not affect OCT calibration
block 1, whose calibration is already in progress.

signal must be asserted for 240 OCTUSRCLK cycles for calibration.
1 You still have to assert the ENASER signal for 28 OCTUSRCLK cycles for serial transfer.

Implementing OCT Calibration in Stratix III Devices.

The following section describes the different termination schemes for the I/O
standards used in Stratix III devices.
Single-Ended I/O Standards Termination

Voltage-referenced I/O standards require both an input reference voltage, VREF, and a
termination voltage (VTT). The reference voltage of the receiving device tracks the
termination voltage of the transmitting device. Figure 7–20 and Figure 7–21 show the
details of SSTL and HSTL I/O termination on Stratix III devices.

Differential I/O Standards Termination

Stratix III devices support differential SSTL-2 and SSTL-18, differential HSTL-18,
HSTL-15, HSTL-12, LVDS, LVPECL, RSDS, and mini-LVDS. Figure 7–22 through
Figure 7–28 show the details of various differential I/O termination on Stratix III
devices.
1 Differential HSTL and SSTL outputs are not true differential outputs. They use two
single-ended outputs with the second output programmed as inverted.

LVDS
The LVDS I/O standard is a differential high-speed, low-voltage swing, low-power,
general-purpose I/O interface standard. In Stratix III devices, the LVDS I/O standard
requires a 2.5-V VCCIO level. The LVDS input buffer requires 2.5-V VCCPD. Use this
standard in applications requiring high-bandwidth data transfer, backplane drivers,
and clock distribution. LVDS requires a 100-Ω termination resistor between the two
signals at the input buffer. Stratix III devices provide an optional 100-Ω differential
termination resistor in the device using on-chip differential termination.
Figure 7–24 shows the details of LVDS termination. The OCT R D is only available in
row I/O banks.

(3) Column and row I/O banks support LVDS_E_1R and LVDS_E_3R I/O standards using two single-ended output buffers.

Differential LVPECL
In Stratix III devices, the LVPECL I/O standard is supported on input clock pins on
column and row I/O banks. LVPECL output operation is not supported by Stratix III
devices. LVDS input buffers are used to support LVPECL input operation. AC
coupling is required when LVPECL common mode voltage of the output buffer is
higher than Stratix III LVPECL input common mode voltage. Figure 7–25 shows the
AC coupled termination scheme. The 50-Ω resistors used at the receiver end are
external to the device.
DC-coupled LVPECL is supported if the driving device’s LVPECL output common
mode voltage is within the Stratix III LVPECL input buffer specification (see
Figure 7–26).

single-ended output buffers with the external one- or three-resistor networks, as

While Stratix III devices feature various I/O capabilities for high-performance and
high-speed system designs, there are several other considerations that require
attention to ensure the success of those designs.

I/O Termination
I/O termination requirements for single-ended and differential I/O standards are
discussed in this section.
Single-Ended I/O Standards

Although single-ended, non-voltage-referenced I/O standards do not require
termination, impedance matching may be necessary to reduce reflections and
improve signal integrity.
Voltage-referenced I/O standards require both an input reference voltage, VREF, and a
termination voltage, VTT. The reference voltage of the receiving device tracks the
termination voltage of the transmitting device. Each voltage-referenced I/O standard
requires a unique termination setup. For example, a proper resistive signal
termination scheme is critical in SSTL2 standards to produce a reliable DDR memory
system with superior noise margin.
Stratix III OCT RS and OCT RT provide the convenience of no external components.
Alternatively, you can use external pull-up resistors to terminate the
voltage-referenced I/O standards, such as SSTL and HSTL.
Differential I/O Standards

Differential I/O standards typically require a termination resistor between the two
signals at the receiver. The termination resistor must match the differential load
impedance of the signal line. Stratix III devices provide an optional differential
on-chip resistor when using LVDS.
f For PCB layout guidelines, refer to AN 224: High-Speed Board Layout Guidelines and
AN 315: Guidelines for Designing High-Speed FPGA PCBs.
I/O Banks Restrictions

Each I/O bank can simultaneously support multiple I/O standards. The following
sections provide guidelines for mixing non-voltage-referenced and voltage-referenced
I/O standards in Stratix III devices.
Non-Voltage-Referenced Standards
Each Stratix III device I/O bank has its own VCCIO pins and supports only one VCCIO,
either 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, 2.5, 3.0, or 3.3 V. An I/O bank can simultaneously support any
number of input signals with different I/O standard assignments, as listed in
Table 7–2.
For output signals, a single I/O bank supports non-voltage-referenced output signals
that are driving at the same voltage as VCCIO. Since an I/O bank can only have one
VCCIO value, it can only drive out that one value for non-voltage-referenced signals.
For example, an I/O bank with a 2.5-V VCCIO setting can support 2.5-V standard inputs
and outputs and 3-V LVCMOS inputs (not output or bi-directional pins).

Voltage-Referenced Standards
To accommodate voltage-referenced I/O standards, each Stratix III device I/O bank
has one VREF pin feeding a common VREF bus. If it is not used as a VREF pin, it cannot
be used as a generic I/O pin and should be tied to VCCIO or GND. Each bank can only
have a single VCCIO voltage level and a single VREF voltage level at a given time.
An I/O bank featuring single-ended or differential standards can support
voltage-referenced standards as long as all voltage-referenced standards use the same
VREF setting.
For performance reasons, voltage-referenced input standards use their own V CCPD level
as the power source. This feature allows you to place voltage-referenced input signals
in an I/O bank with a V CCIO of 2.5 or below. For example, you can place HSTL-15 input
pins in an I/O bank with a 2.5-V VCCIO. However, voltage-referenced input with
parallel OCT enabled requires the VCCIO of the I/O bank to match the voltage of the
input standard.
Voltage-referenced bi-directional and output signals must be the same as the I/O
bank’s VCCIO voltage. For example, you can only place SSTL-2 output pins in an I/O
bank with a 2.5-V VCCIO.
Mixing Voltage-Referenced and Non-Voltage-Referenced Standards

An I/O bank can support both non-voltage-referenced and voltage-referenced pins by
applying each of the rule sets individually. For example, an I/O bank can support
SSTL-18 inputs and 1.8-V inputs and outputs with a 1.8-V V CCIO and a 0.9-V VREF.
Similarly, an I/O bank can support 1.5-V standards, 1.8-V inputs (but not outputs),
and HSTL and HSTL-15 I/O standards with a 1.5-V VCCIO and 0.75-V VREF.

Guidelines.

8. External Memory Interfaces in
Stratix III Devices
SIII51008-1.9
The Stratix ® III I/O structure has been completely redesigned to provide flexible,
high-performance support for existing and emerging external memory standards.
These include high-performance double data rate (DDR) memory standards such as
DDR3, DDR2, DDR SDRAM, QDR II+, QDR II SRAM, and RLDRAM II.
Packed with features such as dynamic on-chip termination (OCT), trace mismatch
compensation, read and write leveling, half data rate (HDR) blocks, and 4- to 36- bit
programmable DQ group widths, Stratix III I/O elements provide easy-to-use built-in
functionality required for a rapid and robust implementation.
DDR external memory support is found on all sides of the Stratix III FPGA. Stratix III
devices provide an efficient architecture to quickly and easily fit wide
external–memory interfaces with the new small modular I/O bank structure.
A self-calibrating megafunction (ALTMEMPHY) is optimized to take advantage of the
Stratix III I/O structure, along with the Quartus® II software’s TimeQuest Timing
Analyzer, which provides the total solution for the highest reliable frequency of
operation across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) variations.
f While this chapter describe the silicon capability of Stratix III devices, for more
information about the external memory system specifications, implementation, board
guidelines, timing analysis, simulation, and design debugging, refer to the
Literature: External Memory Interfaces section of the Altera website.

(1) Each register block can be bypassed.
(2) The blocks for each memory interface may differ slightly.
(3) These signals may be bi-directional or uni-directional, depending on the memory standard. When bi-directional, the signal is active during both
read and write operations.
This chapter describes the hardware features in Stratix III devices that facilitate
high-speed memory interfacing for each DDR memory standard. Stratix III devices
feature DLLs, PLLs, dynamic OCT, read and write leveling, and deskew ciruitry.

A typical memory interface requires data (D, Q, or DQ), data strobe (DQS/CQ and
DQSn/CQn), address, command, and clock pins. Some memory interfaces use data
mask (DM) pins to enable write masking and QVLD pins to indicate that the read data
is ready to be captured. This section describes how Stratix III devices support all these
different pins.
f For more information on memory interfaces, refer to the Stratix III Pin Connection
Guidelines.

Data and Data-Strobe/Clock Pins

Read data-strobes or clocks are called DQS pins. Depending on the memory
specifications, DQS pins can be bi-directional single-ended signals (in DDR2 and DDR
SDRAM), uni-directional differential signals (in RLDRAM II), bi-directional
differential signals (DDR3 and DDR2 SDRAM), or uni-directional complementary
signals (QDR II+ and QDR II SRAM). Connect the uni-directional read and write
data-strobes or clocks to Stratix III DQS pins.
Stratix III devices offer differential input buffers for differential read
data-strobe/clock operations and provide an independent DQS logic block for each
CQn pin for complementary read data-strobe/clock operations. The differential DQS
pin-pairs are denoted as DQS and DQSn pins, while the complementary DQS signals
are denoted as CQ and CQn pins. DQSn and CQn pins are marked separately in the
pin table. Each CQn pin connects to a DQS logic block and the shifted CQn signals go
to the negative-edge input registers in the IOE registers.
1 Use differential DQS signaling for DDR2 SDRAM interfaces running higher than
333 MHz.
1 For DDR3 and DDR2 SDRAM application, pseudo-differential DQS signaling is used
for write operation.
Stratix III DDR memory interface data pins are called DQ pins. DQ pins can be
bi-directional signals (in DDR3, DDR2, and DDR SDRAM, and RLDRAM II common
I/O (CIO) interfaces), or uni-directional signals (in QDR II+, QDR II SRAM, and
RLDRAM II separate I/O (SIO) devices). Connect the uni-directional read data signals
to Stratix III DQ pins and the uni-directional write data signals to a different DQS/DQ
group other than the read DQS/DQ group. You must assign the write clocks to the
DQS/DQSn pins associated to this write DQS/DQ group. Do not use the CQ/CQn
pin-pair for write clocks.
1 Using a DQS/DQ group for write data signals minimizes output skew, allows access
to the write leveling circuitry (for DDR3 SDRAM interfaces), and allows for vertical
migration. These pins also have access to deskewing circuitry that can compensate for
delay mismatch between signals on the bus.
f For more information about pin planning, refer to Section I. Device and Pin Planning
chapter in volume 2 of the External Memory Interface Handbook.
The DQS and DQ pin locations are fixed in the pin table. Memory interface circuitry is
available in every Stratix III I/O bank. All memory interface pins support the I/O
standards required to support DDR3, DDR2, DDR SDRAM, QDR II+, QDR II SRAM,
and RLDRAM II devices.
The Stratix III device supports DQS and DQ signals with DQ bus modes of ×4, ×8/×9,
×16/×18, or ×32/×36, although not all devices support DQS bus mode ×32/×36.
When any of these pins are not used for memory interfacing, you can use them as user
I/Os. In addition, you can use any DQSn or CQn pins not used for clocking as DQ
(data) pins. Table 8–1 lists pin support per DQS/DQ bus mode, including the
DQS/CQ and DQSn/CQn pin pair.

×32/×36 (6) Yes Yes Yes Yes 32 or 36 47
(1) The QVLD pin is not used in the ALTMEMPHY megafunction.
(2) This represents the maximum number of DQ pins (including parity, data mask, and QVLD pins) connected to the DQS bus network with
single-ended DQS signaling. When you use differential or complementary DQS signaling, the maximum number of data per group decreases
by one. This number may vary per DQS/DQ group in a particular device. Check with the pin table for the accurate number per group. For DDR3,
DDR2, and DDR interfaces, the number of pins is further reduced for interfaces larger than ×8 mode because a DQS pin for each ×8/×9 group
that is used to form the ×16/×18 and ×32/×36 groups is required.
(3) The DM pin can be supported if differential DQS is not used and the group does not have additional signals.
(4) Two ×4 DQS/DQ groups are stitched to make a ×8/×9 group, so there are a total of 12 pins in this group.
(5) Four ×4 DQS/DQ groups are stitched to make a ×16/×18 group.
(6) Eight ×4 DQS/DQ groups are stitched to make a ×32/×36 group.
Using RUP /RDN Pins in a DQS/DQ Group Used for Memory Interfaces
You can also use DQS/DQSn pins in some of the ×4 groups as R UP/R DN pins (listed in
Table 8–1). You cannot use a ×4 DQS/DQ group for memory interfaces if any of its pin
members are being used as RUP and RDN pins for OCT calibration. You may be able to
use the ×8/×9 group that includes this ×4 DQS/DQ group, if either of the following
applies:
■ You are not using DM pins with your differential DQS pins
■ You are not using complementary or differential DQS pins
This is because a DQS/DQ ×8/×9 group is comprised of 12 pins, as the groups are
formed by stitching two DQS/DQ groups in ×4 mode with six total pins each
(refer to Table 8–1). A typical ×8 memory interface consists of one DQS, one DM, and
eight DQ pins which add up to 10 pins. If you choose your pin assignment carefully,
you can use the two extra pins for RUP and RDN. In a DDR3 SDRAM interface, you
have to use differential DQS, which means that you only have one extra pin. In this
case, pick different pin locations for the RUP and RDN pins (for example, in the bank
that contains the address and control/command pins).
You cannot use RUP and RDN pins shared with DQS/DQ group pins when using ×9
QDR II+/QDR II SRAM devices, as the RUP and RDN pins may have dual purpose
with the CQn pins. In this case, pick different pin locations for RUP and RDN pins to
avoid conflicts with the memory interface pin placement. In this case, you have the
choice of placing the RUP and RDN pins in the data-write group or in the same bank as
the address and control/command pins. There is no restriction when using ×16/×18
or ×32/×36 DQS/DQ groups that include the ×4 groups whose pin members are
being used as RUP and RDN pins, because there are enough extra pins that you can use
as DQS pins.

You must pick your DQS and DQ pins manually for the ×8, ×16/×18, or ×32/×36
DQS/DQ group whose members are being used for RUP and RDN because the
Quartus II software might not be able to place this correctly when there are no specific
pin assignments and might give you a “no-fit” instead.
Table 8–2 lists the maximum number of DQS/DQ groups per side of the Stratix III
device. For a more detailed listing of the number of DQS/DQ groups available per
bank in each Stratix III device, refer to Figure 8–3 through Figure 8–7. These figures

The DQS and DQSn pins are listed in the Stratix III pin tables as
DQSXY and DQSnXY, respectively, where X denotes the DQS/DQ grouping number,
and Y denotes whether the group is located on the top (T), bottom (B), left (L), or right
(R) side of the device.
The corresponding DQ pins are marked as DQXY, where X indicates which DQS
group the pins belong to and Y indicates whether the group is located on the top (T),
bottom (B), left (L), or right (R) side of the device. For example, DQS1L indicates a
DQS pin, located on the left side of the device. Refer to Figure 8–8 for an illustration.
The DQ pins belonging to that group are shown as DQ1L in the pin table.
The numbering scheme starts from the top-left side of the device going
counter-clockwise. Figure 8–8 shows how the DQS/DQ groups are numbered in a
package bottom view of the device. The top and bottom sides of the device can
contain up to 44 ×4 DQS/DQ groups. The left and right sides of the device can contain
up to 40 ×4 DQS/DQ groups.
The parity, DM, BWSn, NWSn, ECC, and QVLD pins are shown as DQ pins in the pin
table. When not used as memory interface pins, these pins are available as regular I/O
pins.

DQ pin numbering is based on ×4 mode. In ×4 mode, there are up to eight DQS/DQ

groups per I/O bank. Each ×4 mode DQS/DQ group consists of a DQS pin, a DQSn
pin, and four DQ pins. In ×8/×9 mode, the I/O bank combines two adjacent ×4
DQS/DQ groups; one pair of DQS and DQSn/CQn pins can drive all the DQ and
parity pins in the new combined group that consists of up to 10 DQ pins (including
parity or DM and QVLD pins) and a pair of DQS and DQSn/CQn pins.

Similarly, in ×16/×18 mode, the I/O bank combines four adjacent ×4 DQS/DQ
groups to create a group with a maximum of 19 DQ pins (including parity or DM and
QVLD pins) and a pair of DQS/CQ and DQSn/CQn pins. In ×32/×36 mode, the I/O
bank combines eight adjacent ×4 DQS DQ groups together to create a group with a
maximum of 37 DQ pins (including parity or DM and QVLD pins) and a pair of
DQS/CQ and DQSn/CQn pins.
Stratix III modular I/O banks allow easy formation of the DQS/DQ groups. If all the
pins in the I/O banks are user I/O pins and are not used for programming, RUP/RDN
used for OCT calibration, or PLL clock output pins, you can divide the number of I/O
pins in the bank by six to get the maximum possible number of ×4 groups. You can
then divide that number by two, four, or eight to get the maximum possible number
of ×8/×9, ×16/×18, or ×32/×36, respectively (refer to Table 8–3). However, some of
the pins in the I/O bank may be used for other functions.

(1) Some of the ×4 groups may use RUP/RDN pins. You cannot use these groups if you use the Stratix III calibrated OCT feature, as described in
Table 8–1 on page 8–5.
Combining ×16/×18 DQS/DQ groups for ×36 QDR II+/QDR II SRAM Interface
This implementation combines two ×16/×18 DQS/DQ groups to interface with a ×36
QDR II+/QDR II SRAM device. The ×36 read data bus uses two ×16/×18 groups,
while the ×36 write data uses another two ×16/×18 groups or four ×8/×9 groups. The
CQ/CQn signal traces are split on the board trace to connect two pairs of DQS/CQn
pins in the FPGA. This is the only connection on the board that you need to change for
this implementation. Other QDR II+/QDR II SRAM interface rules for Stratix III
devices also apply for this implementation.
1 Altera’s ALTMEMPHY megafunction does not use the QVLD signal, so you can leave
the QVLD signal unconnected as in any QDR II+/QDR II SRAM interfaces in the
f For more information about the ALTMEMPHY megafunction, refer to the

ALTMEMPHY Megafunction User Guide.
Rules to Combine Groups

In 780- and 1152-pin package devices, there is at most one ×16/×18 group per I/O
sub-bank. You can combine ×16/×18 groups from a single side of the device for a ×36
interface. For devices that do not have four ×16/×18 groups in a single side of the
device to form two ×36 groups for read and write data, you can form one ×36 group
on one side of the device, and another ×36 group on the other side of the device. For

vertical migration with the ×36 emulation implementation, check if migration is

possible by enabling device migration in the Quartus II project. Table 8–4 shows the
possible I/O sub-bank combinations to form two ×36 groups. On Stratix III devices
that do not have ×36 groups. Other Stratix III devices in the 1517 - and 1760 - pin
packages support this implementation as well.
1 Splitting the read or write data bus over more than one device edge is not
recommended.

(1) This device supports ×36 DQ/DQS groups on the top and bottom I/O banks natively.
(2) You can combine the ×16/×18 DQ/DQS groups from I/O banks 1A and 1C, 2A and 2C, 5A and 5C, 6A and 6C. However, this process is
discouraged because of the size of the package. Similarly, crossing a bank number (for example combining groups from I/O banks 6C and 5C)
is not supported in this package.

Optional Parity, DM, BWSn, NWSn, ECC and QVLD Pins

In Stratix III devices, you can use any of the DQ pins from the same DQS/DQ group
for data as parity pins. The Stratix III device family supports parity in ×8/×9,
×16/×18, and ×32/×36 modes. There is one parity bit available per eight bits of data
pins. Use any of the DQ (or D) pins in the same DQS/DQ group as data for parity as
they are treated, configured, and generated like a DQ pin.
DM pins are only required when writing to DDR3, DDR2, DDR SDRAM, and
RLDRAM II devices. QDR II+ and QDR II SRAM devices use the BWSn (or NWSn in
the ×8 QDR II SRAM devices) signal to select which byte to write into the memory.
Each group of DQS and DQ signals in DDR3, DDR2, and DDR SDRAM devices
require a DM pin. There is one DM pin per RLDRAM II device and one BWSn pin per
9 bits of data in ×9, ×18, and ×36 QDR II+/QDR II SRAM. The ×8 QDR II SRAM
device has two BWSn pins per 8 data bits, which are referred to as NWSn pins.
A low signal on DM, NWSn, or BWSn indicates that the write is valid. If the
DM/BWSn/NWSn signal is high, the memory masks the DQ signals. If the system
does not require write data masking, connect the memory DM pins low to indicate
every write data is valid. You can use any of the DQ pins in the same DQS/DQ group
as write data for the DM/BWSn/NWSn signals. Generate the DM or BWSn signals
using DQ pins and configure the signals similar to the DQ (or D) output signals.
Stratix III devices do not support the DM signal in ×4 DDR3 SDRAM or in ×4 DDR2
SDRAM interfaces with differential DQS signaling.
Some DDR3, DDR2, and DDR SDRAM devices or modules support error correction
coding (ECC), which is a method of detecting and automatically correcting errors in
data transmission. In a 72-bit DDR3, DDR2, or DDR SDRAM interface, typically eight
ECC pins are used in addition to the 64 data pins. Connect the DDR3, DDR2, and
DDR SDRAM ECC pins to a Stratix III device DQS/DQ group. These signals are also
generated similar to DQ pins. The memory controller requires encoding and decoding
logic for ECC data. You can also use the extra byte of data for other error checking
methods.
QVLD pins are used in RLDRAM II and QDR II+ SRAM interfaces to indicate read
data availability. There is one QVLD pin per memory device. A high on QVLD
indicates that the memory is outputting the data requested. Similar to DQ inputs, this
signal is edge-aligned with the read clock signals (CQ/CQn in
QDR II+/QDR II SRAM and QK/QK# in RLDRAM II) and is sent half a clock cycle
before data starts coming out of the memory. The QVLD pin is not used in the
ALTMEMPHY megafunction solution for QDR II+ SRAM.
For more information about the parity, ECC, and QVLD pins as these pins are treated
as DQ pins refer to “Data and Data-Strobe/Clock Pins” on page 8–4.
Address and Control/Command Pins

Address and control/command signals are typically sent at a single data rate. The
only exception is in QDR II SRAM burst-of-two devices, where the read address must
be captured on the rising edge of the clock while the write address must be captured
on the falling edge of the clock by the memory. There is no special circuitry required
for the address and control/command pins. You can use any of the user I/O pins in
the same I/O bank as the data pins.

Stratix III External Memory Interface Features
Memory Clock Pins

In addition to DQS (and CQn) signals to capture data, DDR3, DDR2, DDR SDRAM,
and RLDRAM II use an extra pair of clocks, called CK and CK# signals, to capture the
address and control/command signals. The CK/CK# signals must be generated to
mimic the write data-strobe using Stratix III DDR I/O registers (DDIOs) to ensure that
timing relationships between the CK/CK# and DQS signals (tDQSS in DDR3, DDR2, and
DDR SDRAM or tCKDK in RLDRAM II) are met. QDR II+ and QDR II SRAM devices
use the same clock (K/K#) to capture data, address, and control/command signals.
Memory clock pins in Stratix III devices are generated with a DDIO register going to
differential output pins, marked in the pin table with DIFFOUT, DIFFIO_TX, and
DIFFIO_RX prefixes.
f For more information about which pins to use for memory clock pins, refer to the
Section I. Device and Pin Planning chapter in volume 2 of the External Memory Interface
Handbook.

(1) For more information about pin location requirements for these pins, refer Section I. Device and Pin Planning chapter in volume 2 of the External
Memory Interface Handbook.
(2) The mem_clk[0] and mem_clk_n[0] pins for DDR3, DDR2, and DDR SDRAM interfaces use the I/O input buffer for feedback; therefore,
bi-directional I/O buffers are used for these pins. For memory interfaces using a differential DQS input, the input feedback buffer is configured as
differential input; for memory interfaces using a single-ended DQS input, the input buffer is configured as a single-ended input. Using a
single-ended input feedback buffer requires that I/O standard’s VREF voltage is provided to that I/O bank’s VREF pins.

Stratix III devices are rich with features that allow robust high-performance external
memory interfacing. The ALTMEMPHY megafunction allows you to set these
external memory interface features and helps set up the physical interface (PHY) best
suited for your system. This section describes each Stratix III device feature that is
used in external memory interfaces from the DQS phase-shift circuitry, DQS logic
block, leveling multiplexers, dynamic OCT control block, IOE registers, IOE features,
and PLLs.

1 When using the Altera memory controller MegaCore® functions, the PHY is
instantiated for you.
1 The ALTMEMPHY megafunction and the Altera memory controller MegaCore

functions can run at half the frequency of the I/O interface of the memory devices to
allow better timing management in high-speed memory interfaces. Stratix III devices
have built-in registers to convert data from full-rate (I/O frequency) to half-rate
(controller frequency) and vice versa. You can bypass these registers if your memory
controller is not running at half the rate of the I/O frequency.
DQS Phase-Shift Circuitry

Stratix III phase-shift circuitry provides phase shift to the DQS and CQn pins on read
transactions, when the DQS/CQ and CQn pins are acting as input clocks or strobes to
the FPGA. DQS phase-shift circuitry consists of DLLs that are shared between
multiple DQS pins and the phase-offset module to further fine-tune the DQS phase
shift for different sides of the device. Figure 8–10 shows how the DQS phase-shift
circuitry is connected to the DQS/CQ and CQn pins in the device.

(1) For possible reference input clock pins for each DLL, refer to“DLL” on page 8–21.
(2) You can configure each DQS/CQn signal pair with a phase shift based on one of two possible DLL output settings.
DQS phase-shift circuitry is connected to the DQS logic blocks that control each
DQS/CQ or CQn pin. The DQS logic blocks allow the DQS delay settings to be
updated concurrently at every DQS/CQ or CQn pin.

DLL
DQS phase-shift circuitry uses a DLL to dynamically measure the clock period
required by the DQS/CQ and CQn pin. The DLL, in turn, uses a frequency reference
to dynamically generate control signals for the delay chains in each of the DQS/CQ
and CQn pins, allowing it to compensate for PVT variations. The DQS delay settings
are Gray-coded to reduce jitter when the DLL updates the settings. The phase-shift
circuitry requires a maximum of 1280 clock cycles to lock and calculate the correct
input clock period when the DLL is in low jitter mode. Otherwise, only 256 clock
cycles are required. Do not send data during these clock cycles because there is no
guarantee it can be properly captured. As the settings from the DLL may not be stable
until this lock period has elapsed, you should be aware that anything using these
settings (including the leveling delay system) may be unstable during this period.
1 Use the DQS phase-shift circuitry for any memory interfaces that are less than
100 MHz. The DQS signal is shifted by 2.5 ns. Even if the DQS signal is not shifted
exactly to the middle of the DQ valid window, the I/O element should still be able to
capture the data in low frequency applications where a large amount of timing
margin is available.
There are four DLLs in a Stratix III device, located in each corner of the device. These
DLLs support a maximum of four unique frequencies, with each DLL running at one
frequency. Each DLL can have two outputs with different phase offsets, which allow
one Stratix III device to have eight different DLL phase shift settings. Figure 8–11
shows the DLL and I/O bank locations in Stratix III devices from a package bottom
view.

The DLL can access the two adjacent sides from its location within the device. For
example, DLL0 on the top left of the device can access the top side (I/O banks 7A, 7B,
7C, 8A, 8B, and 8C) and the left side of the device (I/O banks 1A, 1B, 1C, 2A, 2B, and
2C). This means that each I/O bank is accessible by two DLLs, giving more flexibility
to create multiple frequencies and multiple-type interfaces. For example, you can
design an interface spanning one side of the device or within two sides adjacent to the
DLL. The DLL outputs the same DQS delay settings for both sides of the device
adjacent to the DLL.
Each bank can use settings from either or both DLLs that the bank is adjacent to. For
example, DQS1L can get its phase-shift settings from DLL0, while DQS2L can get its
phase-shift settings from DLL1. Table 8–5 lists the DLL location and supported I/O
banks for Stratix III devices.

1 You can only have one memory interface in each I/O sub-bank (such as I/O
sub-banks 1A, 1B, and 1C) when you use leveling delay chains. This is
because there is only one leveling delay chain per I/O sub-bank.

DLL3 Top right corner 5A, 5B, 5C, 6A, 6B, 6C, 7A, 7B, 7C, 8A, 8B, 8C
The reference clock for each DLL may come from PLL output clocks or any of the two
dedicated clock input pins located in either side of the DLL. Table 8–6 through
Table 8–9 lists the available DLL reference clock input resources for the Stratix III
device family.
When you have a dedicated PLL that only generates the DLL input reference clock, set
the PLL mode to No Compensation, or the Quartus II software changes it
automatically. As the PLL does not use any other outputs, it does not require to
compensate for any clock paths.

Figure 8–12 shows a simple block diagram of the DLL. The input reference clock goes
into the DLL to a chain of up to 16 delay elements. The phase comparator compares
the signal coming out of the end of the delay chain block to the input reference clock.
The phase comparator then issues the upndn signal to the Gray-code counter. This
signal increments or decrements a 6-bit delay setting (DQS delay settings) that
increases or decreases the delay through the delay element chain to bring the input
reference clock and the signals coming out of the delay element chain in phase.

(1) All features of the DQS phase-shift circuitry are accessible from the ALTMEMPHY megafunction in the Quartus II software.
(2) The input reference clock for the DQS phase-shift circuitry can come from a PLL output clock or an input clock pin. For the exact PLL and input
clock pin location, refer to Table 8–6 through Table 8–9.
(3) Phase offset settings can only go to the DQS logic blocks.
(4) DQS delay settings can go to the logic array, the DQS logic block, and the leveling circuitry.
1 The phase offset control block ‘A’ is designated as

DLLOFFSETCTRL_<coordinate x>_<coordinate y>_N1 and phase offset
control block ‘B’ is designated as
DLLOFFSETCTRL_<coordinate x>_<coordinate y>_N2 in the Quartus II
assignment.
You can reset the DLL from either the logic array or a user I/O pin. Each time the DLL
is reset, you must wait for 1280 clock cycles before you can capture the data properly.
Depending on the DLL frequency mode, the DLL can shift the incoming DQS signals
by 0°, 22.5°, 30°, 36°, 45°, 60°, 67.5°, 72°, 90°, 108°, 120°, 135°, 144°, or 180°. The shifted
DQS signal is then used as the clock for the DQ IOE input registers.
All DQS and CQn pins referenced to the same DLL can have their input signal phase
shifted by a different degree amount but all must be referenced at one particular
frequency. For example, you can have a 90° phase shift on DQS1T and a 60° phase shift
on DQS2T referenced from a 200-MHz clock. Not all phase-shift combinations are
supported, however. The phase shifts on the DQS pins referenced by the same DLL
must all be a multiple of 22.5° (up to 90°), a multiple of 30° (up to 120°), a multiple
of 36° (up to 144°), or a multiple of 45° (up to 180°).
There are seven different frequency modes for the Stratix III DLL, as listed in
Table 8–10. Each frequency mode provides different phase shift selections. In
frequency modes 0, 1, 2, and 3, the 6-bit DQS delay settings vary with PVT to
implement the phase-shift delay. In frequency modes 4, 5, 6, and 7, only 5 bits of the
DQS delay settings vary with PVT to implement a phase-shift delay; the most
significant bit of the DQS delay setting is set to 0.

f For the frequency range of each mode, refer to the DC and Switching Characteristics of
Table 8–10. Stratix III DLL Frequency Modes

Frequency Mode Available Phase Shift Number of Delay Chains
0 22.5°, 45°, 67.5°, 90° 16
1 30°, 60°, 90°, 120° 12
2 36°, 72°, 108°, 144° 10
3 45°, 90°, 135°, 180° 8
4 30°, 60°, 90°, 120° 12
5 36°, 72°, 108°, 144° 10
6 45°, 90°, 135°, 180° 8
7 60°, 120°, 180°, 240° 6
For 0° shift, the DQS signal bypasses both the DLL and DQS logic blocks. The
Quartus II software automatically sets DQ input delay chains so that the skew
between the DQ and DQS pin at the DQ IOE registers is negligible when the 0° shift is
implemented. You can feed the DQS delay settings to the DQS logic block and logic
array.
The shifted DQS signal goes to the DQS bus to clock the IOE input registers of the DQ
pins. The signal can also go into the logic array for resynchronization if you are not
using the IOE resynchronization registers. The shifted CQn signal can only go to the
negative-edge input register in the DQ IOE and is only used for QDR II+ and
QDR II SRAM interfaces.
Phase Offset Control

Each DLL has two phase-offset modules and can provide two separate DQS delay
settings with independent offset, one for the top and bottom I/O bank and one for the
left and right I/O bank, so you can fine-tune the DQS phase shift settings between
two different sides of the device. Even though you have independent phase offset
control, the frequency of the interface using the same DLL has to be the same. Use the
phase offset control module for making small shifts to the input signal; Use the DQS
phase-shift circuitry for larger signal shifts. For example, if the DLL only offers a
multiple of 30° phase shift, but your interface requires a 67.5° phase shift on the DQS
signal, you can use two delay chains in the DQS logic blocks to give you 60° phase
shift and use the phase offset control feature to implement the extra 7.5° phase shift.
You can either use a static phase offset or a dynamic phase offset to implement the
additional phase shift. The available additional phase shift is implemented in
2’s-complement in Gray-code between settings –64 to +63 for frequency modes 0, 1, 2,
and 3, and between settings –32 to +31 for frequency modes 4, 5, and 6. An additional
bit indicates whether the setting has a positive or negative value. The DQS phase shift
is the sum of the DLL delay settings and the user selected phase offset settings. The
maximum is setting 64 for frequency modes 0, 1, 2, and 3, and setting 32 for frequency
modes 4, 5, 6, and 7 so the actual physical offset setting range is 64 or 32 subtracted by
the DQS delay settings from the DLL.

1 When using this feature, you must to monitor the DQS delay settings to know how
many offsets you can add and subtract in the system. The DQS delay settings output
by the DLL are also Gray-coded.
For example, if the DLL determines that DQS delay settings of 28 is required to
achieve a 30° phase shift in DLL frequency mode 1, you can subtract up to 28 phase
offset settings and you can add up to 35 phase offset settings to achieve the optimal
delay that you require. However, if the same DQS delay settings of 28 is required to
achieve 30° phase shift in DLL frequency mode 4, you can still subtract up to 28 phase
offset settings, but you can only add up to 3 phase offset settings before the DQS delay
settings reach their maximum settings because DLL frequency mode 4 only uses 5-bit
DLL delay settings.
f For more information about the value for each step, refer to the DC and Switching
When using static phase offset, you can specify the phase offset amount in the
ALTMEMPHY megafunction as a positive number for addition or a negative number
for subtraction. You can also have a dynamic phase offset that is always added to,
subtracted from, or both added to and subtracted from the DLL phase shift. When
you always add or subtract, you can dynamically input the phase offset amount into
the dll_offset[5..0] port. When you want to both add and subtract dynamically,
you control the addnsub signal in addition to the dll_offset[5..0] signals.

DQS Logic Block

Each DQS and CQn pin is connected to a separate DQS logic block, which consists of
the DQS delay chains, update enable circuitry, and DQS postamble circuitry, as shown
in Figure 8–13.

clock pin location, refer to Table 8–6 through Table 8–9.
(2) The dqsenable signal can also come from the Stratix III FPGA fabric.
DQS Delay Chain

The DQS delay chains consist of a set of variable delay elements to allow the input
DQS/CQ and CQn signals to be shifted by the amount specified by the DQS
phase-shift circuitry or the logic array. There are four delay elements in the DQS delay
chain; the first delay chain closest to the DQS/CQ pin can either be shifted by the
DQS delay settings or by the sum of the DQS delay setting and the phase-offset
setting. The number of delay chains required is transparent because the
ALTMEMPHY megafunction automatically sets it when you choose the operating
frequency. The DQS delay settings can come from the DQS phase-shift circuitry on
either end of the I/O banks or from the logic array.
Delay elements in the DQS logic block have the same characteristics as the delay
elements in the DLL. When the DLL is not used to control the DQS delay chains, you
can input your own Gray-coded 6-bit or 5-bit settings using the
dqs_delayctrlin[5..0]signals available in the ALTMEMPHY megafunction.
These settings control 1, 2, 3, or all 4 delay elements in the DQS delay chains. The
ALTMEMPHY megafunction can also dynamically choose the number of DQS delay
chains required for the system. The amount of delay is equal to the sum of the delay
element’s intrinsic delay and the product of the number of delay steps and the value
of the delay steps.

You can also bypass the DQS delay chain to achieve 0° phase shift.
Update Enable Circuitry

Both the DQS delay settings and phase-offset settings pass through a register before
going into the DQS delay chains. The registers are controlled by the update enable
circuitry to allow enough time for any changes in the DQS delay setting bits to arrive
at all the delay elements. This allows them to be adjusted at the same time. The update
enable circuitry enables the registers to allow enough time for the DQS delay settings
to travel from the DQS phase-shift circuitry or core logic to all the DQS logic blocks
before the next change. It uses the input reference clock or a user clock from the core
to generate the update enable output. The ALTMEMPHY megafunction uses this
circuit by default. See Figure 8–14 for an example waveform of the update enable
circuitry output.

DQS Postamble Circuitry

For external memory interfaces that use a bi-directional read strobe like DDR3, DDR2,
and DDR SDRAM, the DQS signal is low before going to or coming from a
high-impedance state. The state where DQS is low, just after a high-impedance state,
is called the preamble. The state where DQS is low, just before it returns to a
high-impedance state, is called the postamble. There are preamble and postamble
specifications for both read and write operations in DDR3, DDR2, and DDR SDRAM.
The DQS postamble circuitry ensures that the data is not lost if there is noise on the
DQS line during the end of a read operation that occurs while the DQS is in a
postamble state.
Stratix III devices have a dedicated postamble register that you can control to ground
the shifted DQS signal used to clock the DQ input registers at the end of a read
operation. This ensures that any glitches on the DQS input signals at the end of the
read postamble time do not affect the DQ IOE registers.
In addition to the dedicated postamble register, Stratix III devices also have an HDR
block inside the postamble enable circuitry. These registers are used if the controller is
running at half the frequency of the I/Os.

Using the HDR block as the first stage capture register in the postamble enable
circuitry block is optional. The HDR block is clocked by the half-rate
resynchronization clock, which is the output of the I/O clock divider circuit (shown in
Figure 8–20 on page 8–35). There is an AND gate after the postamble register outputs
that is used to avoid postamble glitches from a previous read burst on a
non-consecutive read burst. This scheme allows a half-a-clock cycle latency for
dqsenable assertion and zero latency for dqsenable deassertion, as shown in
Figure 8–15.

Leveling Circuitry
DDR3 SDRAM unbuffered modules use a fly-by clock distribution topology for better
signal integrity. This means that the CK/CK# signals arrive at each DDR3 SDRAM
device in the module at different times. The difference in arrival time between the first
DDR3 SDRAM device and the last device on the module can be as long as 1.6 ns.
Figure 8–16 shows the clock topology in DDR3 SDRAM unbuffered modules.

Figure 8–16. DDR3 SDRAM Unbuffered Module Clock Topology
DQS/DQ DQS/DQ DQS/DQ DQS/DQ CK/CK# DQS/DQ DQS/DQ DQS/DQ DQS/DQ
Stratix III
Because the data and read strobe signals are still point-to-point, special consideration
must be taken to ensure that the timing relationship between CK/CK# and DQS
signals (tDQSS) during a write is met at every device on the modules. Furthermore, read
data coming back into the FPGA from the memory is also staggered in a similar way.
Stratix III FPGAs have leveling circuitry to take care of these two requirements. There
is one group of leveling circuitry per I/O bank, with the same I/O number (for
example, there is one leveling circuitry shared between I/O bank 1A, 1B, and 1C)
located in the middle of the I/O bank. These delay chains are PVT-compensated by
the same DQS delay settings as the DLL and DQS delay chains. For frequencies equal
to and above 400 MHz, the DLL uses eight delay chains such that each delay chain
generates a 45° delay.
The generated clock phases are distributed to every DQS logic block that is available
in the I/O bank. The delay chain taps, then feeds a multiplexer controlled by the
ALTMEMPHY megafunction to select which clock phases are to be used for that ×4 or
×8 DQS group. Each group can use a different tap output from the read-leveling and
write-leveling delay chains to compensate for the different CK/CK# delay going into
each device on the module.

memory controller in these I/O banks when you use leveling delay chains.

The –90° write clock of the ALTMEMPHY megafunction feeds the write-leveling
circuitry to produce the clock that generates the DQS and DQ signals. During
initialization, the ALTMEMPHY megafunction picks the correct write-leveled clock
for the DQS and DQ clocks for each DQS/DQ group after sweeping all the available
clocks in the write calibration process. The DQ clock output is –90° phase-shifted
compared to the DQS clock output.
Similarly, the resynchronization clock feeds the read-leveling circuitry to produce the
optimal resynchronization and postamble clock for each DQS/DQ group in the
calibration process. Resynchronization and the postamble clocks can use different
clock outputs from the leveling circuitry. Output from the read-leveling circuitry can
also generate the half-rate resynchronization clock that goes to the FPGA fabric.

dynamically during the initialization process.

IOE Registers
The IOE registers have been expanded to allow source-synchronous systems to have
faster register-to-register transfers and resynchronization. Both top/bottom and
left/right IOEs have the same capability with left/right IOEs having extra features to
support LVDS data transfer.
Figure 8–20 shows the registers available in the Stratix III input path. The input path
consists of the DDR input registers, resynchronization registers, and HDR block. You
can bypass each block of the input path.

(1) You can bypass each register block in this path.
(2) This is the 0-phase resynchronization clock (from the read-leveling delay chain).
(3) The input clock can be from the DQS logic block (whether the postamble circuitry is bypassed or not) or from a global clock line.
(4) This input clock comes from the CQn logic block.
(5) This resynchronization clock can come either from the PLL or from the read-leveling delay chain.
(6) The I/O clock divider resides adjacent to the DQS logic block. In addition to the PLL and read-leveled resync clock, the I/O clock divider can also be fed by the DQS bus or CQn bus.
(7) The half-rate data and clock signals feed into a dual-port RAM in the FPGA core.
(8) You can dynamically change the dataoutbypass signal after configuration to select either the directin input or the output from the half data rate register to feed dataout.
(9) You must invert the strobe signal needs for DDR, DDR2, and DDR3 interfaces, except for QDR II or QDR II+ SRAM interfaces. This inversion is automatically done if you use the Altera external memory
interface IPs.
(10) Each divider feeds up to six pins (from a × 4 DQS group) in the device. To feed wider DQS groups, you must chain multiple clock dividers together by feeding the slaveout output of one divider to the
masterin input of the neighboring pins’ divider.
(11) The bypass_output_register option allows you to select either the output from the second mux or the output of the fourth alignment/ synchronization register to feed dataout.

There are three registers in the DDR input registers block. Two registers capture data
on the positive and negative edges of the clock, while the third register aligns the
captured data. You can choose to have the same clock for the positive edge and
negative edge registers, or two different clocks (DQS for positive edge register, and
CQn for negative edge register). The third register that aligns the captured data uses
the same clock as the positive edge registers.
Resynchronization registers consist of up to three levels of registers to resynchronize
the data to the system clock domain. These registers are clocked by the
resynchronization clock that is either generated by the PLL or the read-leveling delay
chain. The outputs of the resynchronization registers can go straight to the core or to
the HDR blocks, which are clocked by the divided-down resynchronization clock.
For more information about the read-leveling delay chain, refer to “Leveling
Circuitry” on page 8–31.
Figure 8–21 shows the registers available in the Stratix III output and output-enable
paths. The path is divided into the HDR block, resynchronization registers, and
output/output-enable registers. The device can bypass each block of the output and
output-enable path.

(2) Data coming from the FPGA core are at half the frequency of the memory interface.
(3) Half-rate and alignment clocks come from the PLL.
(4) These registers are only used in DDR3 SDRAM interfaces for write-leveling purposes.
(5) The write clock can come from either the PLL or from the write-leveling delay chain. The DQ write clock and DQS write clock have a 90° offset between them.
The output path is designed to route combinatorial or registered single data rate
(SDR) outputs and full-rate or half-rate DDR outputs from the FPGA core. Half-rate
data is converted to full-rate using the HDR block and is clocked by the half-rate clock
from the PLL. Resynchronization registers are also clocked by the same 0° system
clock, except in the DDR3 SDRAM interface where the leveling registers are clocked
by the write-leveling clock.
For more information about the write leveling delay chain, refer to “Leveling
Circuitry” on page 8–31.
The output-enable path has structure similar to the output path. You can have a
combinatorial or registered output in SDR applications and you can use half-rate or
full-rate operation in DDR applications. You also have the resynchronization registers
similar to the output path registers structure, ensuring that the output-enable path
goes through the same delay and latency as the output path.
Delay Chain
Stratix III devices have run-time adjustable delay chains in the I/O blocks and the
DQS logic blocks. You can control the delay chain setting through the I/O or the DQS
configuration block output. Figure 8–22 shows the delay chain ports.

I/O Configuration Block and DQS Configuration Block

The I/O configuration block and the DQS configuration block are shift registers that
you can use to dynamically change the settings of various device configuration bits.
The shift registers power-up low. Every I/O pin contains one I/O configuration
register, while every DQS pin contains one DQS configuration block in addition to the
I/O configuration register. Figure 8–25 shows the I/O configuration block and the

IOE Features
This section briefly describes how OCT, programmable delay chains, programmable
output delay, slew rate adjustment, and programmable drive strength are useful in
memory interfaces.
f For more information about the features listed below, refer to the Stratix III Device I/O
Features chapter.

OCT
Stratix III devices feature dynamic calibrated OCT, in which series termination (OCT
RS) is turned on when driving signals and turned off when receiving signals, while the
parallel termination (OCT RT) is turned off when driving signals and turned on when
receiving signals. This feature complements the DDR3/DDR2 SDRAM on-die
termination (ODT), whereby memory termination is turned off when the memory is
sending data and turned on when receiving data. You can also use OCT for other
memory interfaces to improve signal integrity.
1 You cannot use the programmable drive strength and programmable slew rate
features when using OCT RS.
To use dynamic calibrated OCT, you must use the RUP and RDN pins to calibrate the
OCT calibration block. You can use one OCT calibration block to calibrate one type of
termination with the same VCCIO on the entire device. There are up to ten OCT
calibration blocks to allow for different types of terminations throughout the device.
For more information, refer to “Dynamic OCT Control” on page 8–33.
1 You have the option to use the OCT RS feature with or without calibration. However,
the OCT RT feature is only available with calibration.
You can also use the RUP and R DN pins as DQ pins. However, you cannot use the ×4
DQS/DQ groups where the RUP and RDN pins are located if you are planning to use
dynamic calibrated OCT. The RUP and RDN pins are located in the first and last ×4
DQS/DQ group on each side of the device.
Use the OCT RT/RS setting for uni-directional read and write data; use a dynamic
OCT setting for bi-directional data signals.
Programmable IOE Delay Chains

You can use programmable delay chains in the Stratix III I/O registers as deskewing
circuitry. Each pin can have a different input delay from the pin to input register or a
delay from the output register to the output pin to ensure that the bus has the same
delay going into or out of the FPGA. This feature helps read and write time margins
as it minimizes the uncertainties between signals in the bus.
1 Deskewing circuitry and programmable IOE delay chains are the same circuit.

In addition to allowing output buffer duty cycle adjustment, the programmable
output buffer delay chain allows you to adjust the delays between data bits in your
output bus to introduce or compensate channel-to-channel skew. Incorporating skew
to the output bus helps to minimize simultaneous switching events by enabling
smaller parts of the bus to switch simultaneously, instead of the whole bus. This
feature is particularly useful in DDR3 SDRAM interfaces where the memory system
clock delay can be much larger than the data and data clock/strobe delay. Use this
delay chain to add delay to the data and data clock/strobe to better match the
memory system clock delay.

Programmable Slew Rate Control

Stratix III devices provide four levels of static output slew rate control: 0, 1, 2, and 3,
where 0 is the slowest slew rate setting and 3 is the fastest slew rate setting. The
default setting for the HSTL and SSTL I/O standards is 3. A fast slew rate setting
allows you to achieve higher I/O performance; a slow slew-rate setting reduces
system noise and signal overshoot. This feature is disabled if you are using the OCT
RS features.
Programmable Drive Strength

You can choose the optimal drive strength required for your interface after
performing a board simulation. Higher drive strength helps provide a larger voltage
swing, which in turn provides bigger eye diagrams with greater timing margin.
However, higher drive strengths typically require more power, faster slew rates, and
add to simultaneous switching noise. You can use programmable slew rate control
along with this feature to minimize simultaneous switching noise with higher drive
strengths.
This feature is disabled if you use the OCT RS feature, which is the default drive
strength in Stratix III devices. Use the OCT RT/R S setting for uni-directional
read/write data; use the dynamic OCT setting for bi-directional data signals. You
must simulate the system to determine the drive strength required for command,
address, and clock signals.
PLL
PLLs are used to generate the memory interface controller clocks, similar to the 0°
system clock, the –90° or 270° phase-shifted write clock, the half-rate PHY clock, and
the resynchronization clock. You can use the PLL reconfiguration feature to calibrate
resynchronization phase shift to balance the setup and hold margin.
The VCO and counter setting combinations may be limited for high-performance
memory interfaces.

LVDS Channels
LVDS Channels
The Stratix III device supports LVDS on both side I/O banks and column I/O banks.
Single-ended reference clocks are supported when using the source-synchronous
SERDES in DPA and soft-CDR mode. There are true LVDS input and output buffers
on the side I/O banks. On column I/O banks, there are true LVDS input buffers but
do not have true LVDS output buffers. However, you can configure all column user
I/Os—including I/Os with true LVDS input buffers—as emulated LVDS output
buffers. When using emulated LVDS standards, you must implement the logic driving
these pins in soft logic (logic elements) and not hard SERDES.
1 Emulated differential output buffers support tri-state capability starting with the
Quartus® II software version 9.1.

The Stratix III transmitter has dedicated circuitry to provide support for LVDS
signaling. The dedicated circuitry consists of a differential buffer, a serializer, and a
shared analog PLL (left/right PLL). The differential buffer can drive out LVDS,
mini-LVDS, and RSDS signaling levels. The serializer takes up to 10-bits wide parallel
data from the FPGA core, clocks it into the load registers, and serializes it using shift
registers clocked by the left/right PLL before sending the data to the differential
buffer. The most significant bit (MSB) of the parallel data is transmitted first.
The load and shift registers are clocked by the load enable (load_en) signal and the
diffioclk (clock running at serial data rate) signal generated from PLL_Lx (left
PLL) or PLL_Rx (right PLL). The serialization factor can be statically set to ×3, ×4, ×5,
×6, ×7, ×8, ×9, or ×10 with the Quartus II software. The load enable signal is derived
from the serialization factor setting. Figure 9–2 shows a block diagram of the
Stratix III transmitter.

You can configure any Stratix III transmitter data channel to generate a
source-synchronous transmitter clock output. This flexibility allows placing the
output clock near the data outputs to simplify board layout and reduce clock-to-data
skew. Different applications often require specific clock-to-data alignments or specific
data rate-to-clock rate factors. The transmitter can output a clock signal at the same
rate as the data with a maximum frequency of 800 MHz. You can also divide the
output clock by a factor of 2, 4, 8, or 10, depending on the serialization factor. The
phase of the clock in relation to the data can be set at 0° or 180° (edge or center
aligned). The left and right PLLs (PLL_Lx/PLL_Rx) provide additional support for
other phase shifts in 45° increments. These settings are statically made in the
MegaWizard® Plug-In Manager in the Quartus II software.

Differential Receiver
You can bypass the Stratix III serializer to support DDR (×2) and SDR (×1) operations
to achieve a serialization factor of 2 and 1, respectively. The I/O element (IOE)
contains two data output registers that can each operate in either DDR or SDR mode.
The clock source for the registers in the IOE can come from any routing resource, from
the left/right PLL (PLL_Lx/PLL_Rx) or from the top/bottom (PLL_Tx/PLL_Bx) PLL.

The Stratix III device has dedicated circuitry to receive high-speed differential signals.
The receiver has a differential buffer, a shared PLL_Lx/PLL_Rx, DPA block,
synchronization FIFO buffer, data realignment block, and a deserializer. The
differential buffer can receive LVDS, mini-LVDS, and RSDS signal levels, which are
statically set in the Quartus II software Assignment Editor. The PLL receives the
external source clock input that is transmitted with the data and generates different
phases of the same clock. The DPA block chooses one of the clocks from the left/right
PLL and aligns the incoming data on each channel.
The synchronizer circuit is a 1-bit wide by 6-bit deep FIFO buffer that compensates for
any phase difference between the DPA clock and the data realignment block. If
necessary, the data realignment circuit can insert a single bit of latency in the serial bit
stream to align to the word boundary. The deserializer includes shift registers and
parallel load registers, and sends a maximum of 10 bits to the internal logic. The data
path in the Stratix III receiver is clocked by either a dffioclk signal or the DPA
recovered clock. The deserialization factor can be statically set to ×3, ×4, ×5, ×6, ×7, ×8,
×9, or ×10 with the Quartus II software. The left/right PLLs (PLL_Lx/PLL_Rx)
generate the load enable signal, which is derived from the deserialization factor
setting.
To support DDR (×2) or SDR (×1) operations, you can bypass the Stratix III
deserializer in MegaWizard Plug-In Manager in the Quartus II software. You cannot
use the DPA and the data realignment circuit when the deserializer is bypassed. The
IOE contains two data input registers that can operate in DDR or SDR mode. The
clock source for the registers in the IOE can come from any routing resource, from the
left/right PLLs or from the top/bottom PLLs. Figure 9–5 shows the block of the
Stratix III receiver.

Receiver Data Realignment Circuit (Bit Slip)

Skew in the transmitted data along with skew added by the link causes
channel-to-channel skew on the received serial data streams. If DPA is enabled, the
received data is captured with different clock phases on each channel. This may cause
the received data to be misaligned from channel to channel. To compensate for this
channel-to-channel skew and establish the correct received word boundary at each
channel, each receiver channel has a dedicated data realignment circuit that realigns
the data by inserting bit latencies into the serial stream.
An optional RX_CHANNEL_DATA_ALIGN port controls the bit insertion of each
receiver independently controlled from the internal logic. The data slips one bit for
every pulse on the RX_CHANNEL_DATA_ALIGN. The following are requirements for
the RX_CHANNEL_DATA_ALIGN signal:
■ The minimum pulse width is one period of the parallel clock in the logic array
■ The minimum low time between pulses is one period of parallel clock
■ There is no maximum high or low time
■ Valid data is available two parallel clock cycles after the rising edge of
RX_CHANNEL_DATA_ALIGN

Figure 9–7 shows receiver output (RX_OUT) after one bit slip pulse with the
deserialization factor set to 4.

rx_out 3210 321x xx21 0321
The data realignment circuit can have up to 11 bit-times of insertion before a rollover
occurs. The programmable bit rollover point can be from 1 to 11 bit-times,
independent of the deserialization factor. An optional status port, RX_CDA_MAX, is
available to the FPGA from each channel to indicate when the preset rollover point is
reached.
Dynamic Phase Aligner (DPA)

The DPA block takes in high-speed serial data from the differential input buffer and
selects one of the eight phase clocks from the left/right PLL to sample the data. The
DPA chooses the phase closest to the phase of the serial data. The maximum phase
offset between the received data and the selected phase is 1/8 UI, which is the
maximum quantization error of the DPA. The eight phases of the clock are equally
divided, giving a 45° resolution.
Figure 9–8 shows the possible phase relationships between the DPA clocks and the
incoming serial data.

The DPA block continuously monitors the phase of the incoming serial data and
selects a new clock phase if required. You can prevent the DPA from selecting a new
clock phase by asserting the optional RX_DPLL_HOLD port, which is available for each
channel.

The DPA circuitry does not require a fixed training pattern to lock to the optimum
phase out of the 8 phases. After reset or power up, the DPA circuitry requires
transitions on the received data to lock to the optimum phase. The ALTLVDS
megafunction provides an optional output port, rx_dpa_locked to indicate if the
DPA has locked to the optimum phase. When the DPA locks to the optimum phase,
the rx_dpa_locked signal always stays high unless you assert the rx_reset signal
of the associated LVDS channel or the pll_areset signal of the receiver PLL
providing the 8 DPA clock phases.
1 The rx_dpa_locked signal only indicates an initial DPA lock condition to the
optimum phase after power up or reset. You must not use the rx_dpa_locked signal
to validate the integrity of the LVDS link. Use error checkers, for example cyclical
redundancy check (CRC) and diagonal interleave parity (DIP4), to validate the
integrity of the LVDS link.
An independent reset port (RX_RESET) is available to reset the DPA circuitry. You
must retrain the DPA circuitry after reset.
Soft-CDR Mode
The Stratix III LVDS channel offers the soft-CDR mode to support the Gigabit
Ethernet/SGMII protocols. Clock-data recovery (CDR) is required to extract the clock
out of the clock-embedded data to support SGMII. In Stratix III devices, the CDR
circuit is implemented in soft-logic as an IP.
In soft-CDR mode, the DPA circuitry selects an optimal DPA clock phase to sample
the data and carry on the bit-slip operation and deserialization. The selected DPA
clock is also divided down by the deserialization factor, and then forwarded to the
PLD core along with the deserialized data. The LVDS block has an output called
DIVCLKOUT (rx_divfwdclk port of the ALTLVDS megafunction) for the forwarded
clock signal. This signal is put on the newly introduced periphery clock (PCLK)
network. When using soft-CDR mode, the rx_reset port should not be asserted
when the rx_dpa_lock is asserted because the DPA will continually choose new
phase taps from the PLL to track parts per million (PPM) differences between the
reference clock and incoming data. In Stratix III devices, you can use every LVDS
channel in soft-CDR mode and can drive the core via the PCLK network.

Figure 9–9 shows the path enabled in soft-CDR mode.

1 The synchronizer FIFO is bypassed in soft-CDR mode. The reference clock frequency
must be suitable for the PLL to generate a clock that matches the data rate of the
interface. The DPA circuitry can track PPM differences between the reference clock
and the data stream.
Synchronizer
The synchronizer is a 1-bit × 6-bit deep FIFO buffer that compensates for the phase
difference between the recovered clock from the DPA circuit and the diffioclk that
clocks the rest of the logic in the receiver. The synchronizer can only compensate for
phase differences, not frequency differences between the data and the receiver’s
INCLK.
An optional port (RX_FIFO_RESET) is available to the internal logic to reset the
synchronizer. Altera® recommends using RX_FIFO_RESET to reset the synchronizer
once after the RX_DPA_LOCKED signal gets asserted and before valid data is received.

Programmable Pre-Emphasis and Programmable VOD
Programmable Pre-Emphasis and Programmable V OD
Stratix III LVDS transmitters support programmable pre-emphasis and

programmable voltage output differential (V OD). Pre-emphasis increases the
amplitude of the high frequency component of the output signal, and thus helps
compensate for the frequency dependent attenuation along the transmission line.
Figure 9–10 shows an LVDS output with pre-emphasis. The overshoot is produced by
pre-emphasis. This overshoot should not be included in the VOD voltage. The
definition of V OD is also shown in Figure 9–10.
Figure 9–10. Programmable VOD

Overshoot
OUT
VOD
OUT
Overshoot
Pre-emphasis is an important feature for high-speed transmission. Without

pre-emphasis, the output current is limited by the VOD setting and the output
impedance of the driver. At high frequency, the slew rate may not be fast enough to
reach the full VOD before the next edge, producing a pattern dependent jitter.
With pre-emphasis, the output current is boosted momentarily during switching to
increase the output slew rate. The overshoot introduced by the extra current happens
only during switching and does not ring, unlike the overshoot caused by signal
reflection. The amount of pre-emphasis required depends on the attenuation of the
high-frequency component along the transmission line.
Stratix III pre-emphasis is programmable to create the right amount of overshoot at
different transmission conditions. There are four settings for pre-emphasis: zero, low,
medium, and high. The default setting is low. In the Quartus II Assignment Editor,
pre-emphasis settings are represented in numbers with 0 (zero), 1 (low), 2 (medium)
and 3 (high). For a particular design, simulation with an LVDS buffer and
transmission line can be used to determine the best pre-emphasis setting.
The VOD is also programmable with four settings: low, medium low, medium high,
and high. The default setting is medium low. In the Quartus II Assignment Editor,
programmable VOD settings are represented in numbers with 0 (low), 1 (medium low),
2 (medium high) and 3 (high).

Differential I/O Termination
Differential I/O Termination

Stratix III devices provide a 100-Ω OCT RD option on each differential receiver channel
for LVDS standards. OCT saves board space by eliminating the need to add external
resistors on the board. You can enable OCT in the Quartus II software Assignment
Editor.
OCT RD is supported on all row I/O pins and SERDES block clock pins:
CLK (0, 2, 9, and 11). It is not supported for column I/O pins, high-speed clock pins
CLK [1, 3, 8, 10], or the corner PLL clock inputs.
Figure 9–11 shows the device OCT.

Left/Right PLLs (PLL_Lx/ PLL_Rx)

Stratix III devices contain up to eight left/right PLLs, with up to four PLLs located on
the left side and four on the right side of the device. The left PLLs can support
high-speed differential I/O banks on the left side and the right PLLs can support
banks on the right side of the device. The high-speed differential I/O receiver and
transmitter channels use these left/right PLLs to generate the parallel global clocks
(rx- or tx-clock) and high-speed clocks (diffioclk). Figure 9–1 shows the locations
of the left/right PLLs. The PLL VCO operates at the clock frequency of the data rate.
Each left/right PLL offers a single serial data rate support, but up to two separate
serialization and/or deserialization factors (from the C0 and C1 left/right PLL clock
outputs). Clock switchover and dynamic left/right PLL reconfiguration is available in
high-speed differential I/O support mode.

Source-Synchronous Timing Budget

This section discusses the timing budget, waveforms, and specifications for
source-synchronous signaling in Stratix III devices. LVDS I/O standards enable
high-speed data transmission. This high data transmission rate results in better
overall system performance. To take advantage of fast system performance, it is
important to understand how to analyze timing for these high-speed signals. Timing
analysis for the differential block is different from traditional synchronous timing
analysis techniques.
Rather than focusing on clock-to-output and setup times, source synchronous timing
analysis is based on the skew between the data and the clock signals. High-speed
differential data transmission requires the use of timing parameters provided by IC
vendors and is strongly influenced by board skew, cable skew, and clock jitter. This
section defines the source-synchronous differential data orientation timing
parameters, the timing budget definitions for Stratix III devices, and ways to use these
timing parameters to determine the maximum performance of your design.
Differential Data Orientation

There is a set relationship between an external clock and the incoming data. For an
operation at 1 Gbps and SERDES factor of 10, the external clock is multiplied by 10,
and phase-alignment can be set in the PLL to coincide with the sampling window of
each data bit. The data is sampled on the falling edge of the multiplied clock.
Figure 9–15 shows the data bit orientation of the ×10 mode.

Data synchronization is necessary for successful data transmission at high
frequencies. Figure 9–16 shows the data bit orientation for a channel operation. These
figures are based on the following:
■ SERDES factor equals clock multiplication factor
■ Edge alignment is selected for phase alignment
■ Implemented in hard SERDES
For other serialization factors, use the Quartus II software tools and find the bit
position within the word and the bit positions after deserialization.

Receiver Skew Margin for Non-DPA

Changes in system environment, such as temperature, media (cable, connector, or
PCB) loading effect, the receiver’s setup and hold times, and internal skew, reduce the
sampling window for the receiver. The timing margin between the receiver ’s clock
input and the data input sampling window is called receiver skew margin (RSKM).
Figure 9–17 shows the relationship between the RSKM and the sampling window of
the receiver.
Transmit channel-to-channel skew (TCCS), RSKM, and the sampling window
specifications are used for high-speed source-synchronous differential signals without
DPA. When using DPA, these specifications are exchanged for the simpler single DPA
jitter tolerance specification. For instance, the receiver skew is why each input with
DPA selects a different phase of the clock, thus removing the requirement for this
margin. In the timing diagram, TSW represents time for the sampling window.

Differential Pin Placement Guidelines

To ensure proper high-speed operation, differential pin placement guidelines have
been established. The Quartus II compiler automatically checks that these guidelines
are followed and issues an error message if they are not met.
Because DPA usage adds some constraints on the placement of high-speed differential
channels, this section is divided into pin placement guidelines with and without DPA
usage.
Guidelines for DPA-Enabled Differential Channels

The Stratix III device has differential receivers and transmitters in I/O banks on the
left and right sides of the device. Each receiver has a dedicated DPA circuit to align the
phase of the clock to the data phase of its associated channel. When DPA-enabled
channels are used in differential banks, you must adhere to the guidelines listed in the
following sections.
DPA-Enabled Channels and Single-Ended I/Os

When there is a DPA channel enabled in a bank, both single-ended I/Os and
differential I/O standards are allowed in the bank.
Single-ended I/Os are allowed in the same I/O bank as long as the single-ended I/O
standard uses the same VCCIO as the DPA-enabled differential I/O bank.
DPA-Enabled Channel Driving Distance

If the number of DPA channels driven by each left/right PLL exceeds 25 LAB rows,
Altera recommends implementing data realignment (bit-slip) circuitry for all the DPA
channels.
Using Corner and Center Left/Right PLLs

If a differential bank is being driven by two left/right PLLs, where the corner
left/right PLL is driving one group and the center left/right PLL is driving another
group, there must be at least one row of separation between the two groups of
DPA-enabled channels (refer to Figure 9–18). The two groups can operate at
independent frequencies.
No separation is necessary if a single left/right PLL is driving DPA-enabled channels
as well as DPA-disabled channels.

Using Both Center Left/Right PLLs

Both center left/right PLLs can be used to drive DPA-enabled channels
simultaneously, as long as they drive these channels in their adjacent banks only, as
shown in Figure 9–19.
If one of the center left/right PLLs drive the top and bottom banks, the other center
left/right PLL cannot be used to drive the differential channels, as shown in
Figure 9–19.
If the top PLL_L2/PLL_R2 drives DPA-enabled channels in the lower differential
bank, the PLL_L3/PLL_R3 cannot drive DPA-enabled channels in the upper
differential banks and vice versa. In other words, the center left/right PLLs cannot
drive cross-banks simultaneously, as shown in Figure 9–20.

Guidelines for DPA-Disabled Differential Channels

When DPA-disabled channels are used in the left and right banks of a Stratix III
device, you must adhere to the guidelines in the following sections.
DPA-Disabled Channels and Single-Ended I/Os

The placement rules for DPA-disabled channels and single-ended I/Os are the same
as those for DPA-enabled channels and single-ended I/Os.
DPA-Disabled Channel Driving Distance

Each left/right PLL can drive all the DPA-disabled channels in the entire bank.
Using Corner and Center Left/Right PLLs

A corner left/right PLL can be used to drive all transmitter channels and a center
left/right PLL can be used to drive all DPA-disabled receiver channels within the
same differential bank. In other words, a transmitter channel and a receiver channel in
the same LAB row can be driven by two different PLLs, as shown in Figure 9–21.
A corner left/right PLL and a center left/right PLL can drive duplex channels in the
same differential bank as long as the channels driven by each PLL are not interleaved.
No separation is necessary between the group of channels driven by the corner and
center left/right PLLs. Refer to Figure 9–21 and Figure 9–22.

PLL can drive the lower differential bank at the same time the lower center left/right

10. Hot Socketing and Power-On Reset in
Stratix III Devices
SIII51010-1.7
This chapter describes information about hot-socketing specifications, power-on reset

(POR) requirements, and their implementation in Stratix ® III devices.
Stratix III devices offer hot socketing, also known as hot plug-in or hot swap, and
power sequencing support without the use of any external devices. You can insert or
remove a Stratix III device or a board in a system during system operation without
causing undesirable effects to the running system bus or board that is inserted into the
system.
The hot socketing feature also removes some of the difficulty when you use Stratix III
devices on PCBs that contain a mixture of 3.3-, 3.0-, 2.5-, 1.8-, 1.5-, and 1.2-V devices.
With the Stratix III hot socketing feature, you no longer need to ensure a proper
power-up sequence for each device on the board.
The Stratix III hot-socketing feature provides:
■ Board or device insertion and removal without external components or board
manipulation
■ Support for any power-up sequence
■ I/O buffers non-intrusive to system buses during hot insertion
This section also describes the POR circuitry in Stratix III devices. POR circuitry keeps
the devices in the reset state until the power supplies are within operating range.
Stratix III Hot-Socketing Specifications

Stratix III devices are hot-socketing compliant without the need for external
components or special design requirements. Hot socketing support in Stratix III
devices has the following advantages:
■ You can drive the device before power-up without damaging it.
■ I/O pins remain tri-stated during power-up. The device does not drive out before
or during power-up, thereby not affecting other buses in operation.
■ You can insert a Stratix III device into or remove it from a powered-up system
board without damaging or interfering with normal system/board operation.
Stratix III Devices Can Be Driven Before Power Up

You can drive signals into I/O pins, dedicated input pins, and dedicated clock pins of
Stratix III devices before or during power up or power down without damaging the
device. Stratix III devices support power up or power down of the power supplies in
any sequence in order to simplify system-level design.

10–2 Chapter 10: Hot Socketing and Power-On Reset in Stratix III Devices
Hot-Socketing Feature Implementation in Stratix III Devices
I/O Pins Remain Tri-Stated During Power Up

A device that does not support hot socketing can interrupt system operation or cause
contention by driving out before or during power up. In a hot-socketing situation, the
Stratix III device's output buffers are turned off during system power up or power
down. Also, the Stratix III device does not drive out until the device is configured and
working within recommended operating conditions.
Insertion or Removal of a Stratix III Device from a Powered-Up System

Devices that do not support hot socketing can short power supplies when powered
up through the device signal pins. This irregular power up can damage both the
driving and driven devices and can disrupt card power up.
You can insert a Stratix III device into or remove it from a powered-up system board
without damaging the system board or interfering with its operation.
You can power up or power down the core voltage supplies (V CC, VCCL , VCCPT, VCCA_PLL,
and VCCD_PLL), VCCIO, VCCPMG , VCC_CLKIN , and VCCPD supplies in any sequence and at any
time between them. The individual power supply ramp-up and ramp-down rates can
range from 50 μs to 12 ms or 100 ms depending on the PORSEL setting. During hot
socketing, the I/O pin capacitance is less than 15 pF and the clock pin capacitance is
less than 20 pF.
f For more information about the hot socketing specification, refer to the DC and
Switching Characteristics of Stratix III Devices chapter and the Hot-Socketing and
Power-Sequencing Feature and Testing for Altera Devices White Paper.
A possible concern regarding hot socketing is the potential for “latch-up”.

Nevertheless, Stratix III devices are immune to latch-up when hot socketing. Latch-up
can occur when electrical subsystems are hot socketed into an active system. During
hot socketing, the signal pins can be connected and driven by the active system before
the power supply can provide current to the device's power and ground planes. This
condition can lead to latch-up and cause a low-impedance path from power to ground
within the device. As a result, the device draws a large amount of current, possibly
causing electrical damage.

The hot-socketing feature turns off the output buffer during power up and power
down of the V CC, VCCIO, VCCPGM, or VCCPD power supplies. The hot-socketing circuitry
generates an internal HOTSCKT signal when the VCC, VCCIO, VCCPGM, or V CCPD power
supplies are below the threshold voltage. Hot-socketing circuitry is designed to
prevent excess I/O leakage during power up. When the voltage ramps up very
slowly, it is still relatively low, even after the POR signal is released and the
configuration is completed. The CONF_DONE, nCEO, and nSTATUS pins fail to
respond, as the output buffer cannot flip from the state set by the hot-socketing circuit
at this low voltage. Therefore, the hot-socketing circuit has been removed on these
configuration pins to make sure that they are able to operate during configuration.
Thus, it is expected behavior for these pins to drive out during power-up and
power-down sequences.

The POR circuit monitors the voltage level of power supplies (VCC, VCCL, VCCPD, VCCPGM
and VCCPT) and keeps the I/O pins tri-stated until the device is in user mode. The weak
pull-up resistor (R) in the Stratix III input/output element (IOE) keeps the I/O pins
from floating. The 3.3-V tolerance control circuit permits the I/O pins to be driven by
3.3 V before V CCIO, VCC, VCCPD, and/or VCCPGM supplies are powered, and it prevents the
I/O pins from driving out when the device is not in user mode.
1 Altera uses GND as reference for hot-socketing operation and I/O buffer designs. To
ensure proper operation, you must connect the GND between boards before
connecting the power supplies. This will prevent the GND on your board from being
pulled up inadvertently by a path to power through other components on your board.
A pulled up GND could otherwise cause an out-of-specification I/O voltage or
current condition with the Altera device.

Power-On Reset Circuitry
Figure 10–2 shows a transistor-level cross section of the Stratix III device I/O buffers.
This design prevents leakage current from I/O pins to the V CCIO supply when VCCIO is
powered before the other voltage supplies or if the I/O pad voltage is higher than
VCCIO. This also applies for sudden voltage spikes during hot insertion. The VPAD
leakage current charges the 3.3-V tolerant circuit capacitance.

Power-On Reset Circuitry

When power is applied to a Stratix III device, a POR event occurs when all the power
supplies reach the recommended operating range within a certain period of time
(specified as a maximum power supply ramp time; tRAMP). Hot socketing feature in
Stratix III allows the required power supplies to be powered up in any sequence and
at any time between them with each individual power supply must reach the
recommended operating range within t RAMP.
1 For maximum power supplies ramp-up time for Stratix III Devices, refer Table 10–1.
Stratix III devices provide a dedicated input pin (PORSEL) to select a POR delay time
during power up. When the PORSEL pin is connected to ground, the POR delay time
is 100 ms. When the PORSEL pin is set to high, the POR delay time is 12 ms.
The POR block consists of a regulator POR, satellite POR, and main POR to check the
power supply levels for proper device configuration. The satellite POR monitors VCCPD
and VCCPGM power supplies that are used in the configuration buffers for device
programming. The POR block also checks for functionality of I/O level shifters
powered by VCCPD and VCCPGM during power-up mode. The main POR checks the VCC
and VCCL supplies used in core. The internal configuration memory supply, which is
used during device configuration, is checked by the regulator POR block and is gated
in the main POR block for the final POR trip. A simplified block diagram of the POR
block is shown in Figure 10–3.
1 All configuration-related dedicated and dual function I/O pins must be powered by
VCCPGM.

1 During power up, all power supplies listed in Table 10–2 and Table 10–3 are required
to monotonically reach their full-rail values within tRAMP.
The POR specification is designed to ensure that all the circuits in the Stratix III device
are at certain known states during power up.
The POR signal pulse width is programmable using the PORSEL input pin. When
PORSEL is set to low, the POR signal pulse width is set to 100 ms. A POR pulse width
of 100 ms allows serial flash devices with 65 ms to 100 ms internal POR delay to be
powered up and ready to receive the nSTATUS signal from Stratix III. When the
PORSEL is set to high, the POR signal pulse width is set to 12 ms. A POR pulse width
of 12 ms allows time for power supplies to ramp-up to full rail.

Characteristics chapter.

11. Configuring Stratix III Devices
SIII51011-2.0
This chapter contains complete information about Stratix® III supported configuration
schemes, how to execute the required configuration schemes, and all necessary option
pin settings.
Stratix III devices use SRAM cells to store configuration data. Because SRAM memory
is volatile, you must download configuration data to the Stratix III device each time
the device powers up. You can configure Stratix III devices using one of four
configuration schemes:
■ Fast passive parallel (FPP)
■ Fast active serial (AS)
■ Passive serial (PS)
■ Joint Test Action Group (JTAG)
All configuration schemes use an external controller (for example, a MAX® II device
or microprocessor), a configuration device, or a download cable. Refer to
“Configuration Features” on page 11–3 for more information.
Configuration Devices
The Altera® serial configuration devices (EPCS128, EPCS64, and EPCS16) support a
single-device and multi-device configuration solution for Stratix III devices and are
used in the fast AS configuration scheme. Serial configuration devices offer a
low-cost, low-pin count configuration solution.
f For information about serial configuration devices, refer to the Serial Configuration
Devices (EPCS1, EPCS4, EPCS16, EPCS64, and EPCS128) Data Sheet in volume 2 of the
Configuration Handbook.
All minimum timing information in this handbook covers the entire Stratix III family.
Some devices may work at less than the minimum timing stated in this handbook due
to process variation.
Configuration Schemes
Select the configuration scheme by driving the Stratix III device MSEL pins either high
or low, as detailed in Table 11–1. The MSEL pins are powered by the VCCPGM power
supply of the bank they reside in. The MSEL[2..0] pins have 5-kΩ internal
pull-down resistors that are always active. During power-on reset (POR) and
reconfiguration, the MSEL pins must be at LVTTL VIL and VIH levels to be considered a
logic low and logic high.
1 To avoid any problems with detecting an incorrect configuration scheme, hard-wire

the MSEL[] pins to VCCPGM and GND, without any pull-up or pull-down resistors. Do
not drive the MSEL[] pins with a microprocessor or another device.

(2) These modes are only supported when using a MAX® II device or a microprocessor with flash memory for
configuration. In these modes, the host system must output a DCLK that is ×4 the data rate.
(3) Do not leave the MSEL pins floating. Connect them to VCCPGM or ground. These pins support the non-JTAG
configuration scheme used in production. If you only use JTAG configuration, connect the MSEL pins to ground.
(4) JTAG-based configuration takes precedence over other configuration schemes, which means MSEL pin settings
are ignored.

Use the data in Table 11–2 to estimate the file size before design compilation. Different
configuration file formats, such as a hexadecimal (.hex) or tabular text file (.ttf)
format, have different file sizes. Refer to the Quartus ® II software for the different
types of configuration file and the file sizes. However, for any specific version of the
Quartus II software, any design targeted for the same device will have the same
uncompressed configuration file size. If you are using compression, the file size can
vary after each compilation because the compression ratio is dependent on the design.
f For more information about setting device configuration options or creating

configuration files, refer to the Device Configuration Options and Configuration File
Formats chapters in volume 2 of the Configuration Handbook.

Chapter 11: Configuring Stratix III Devices 11–3
Configuration Features
Stratix III devices offer design security, decompression, and remote system upgrade
features. Design security using configuration bitstream encryption is available in
Stratix III devices, which protects your designs. Stratix III devices can receive a
compressed configuration bitstream and decompress this data in real-time, reducing
storage requirements and configuration time. You can make real-time system
upgrades from remote locations of your Stratix III designs with the remote system
upgrade feature.

(1) In these modes, the host system must send a DCLK that is ×4 the data rate.
(2) Remote system upgrade is only available in the fast AS configuration scheme. Only remote update mode is supported when using the fast AS
configuration scheme. Local update mode is not supported.
If your system already contains a common flash interface (CFI) flash memory, you can
use it for the Stratix III device configuration storage as well. The MAX II parallel flash
loader (PFL) feature in MAX II devices provides an efficient method to program CFI
flash memory devices through the JTAG interface, and the logic to control
configuration from the flash memory device to the Stratix III device. Both PS and FPP
configuration modes are supported using the PFL feature.
f For more information about PFL, refer to AN 386: Using the MAX II Parallel Flash
Loader with the Quartus II Software.
f For more information about programming Altera serial configuration devices, refer to
“Programming Serial Configuration Devices” on page 11–25.

Configuration Data Decompression

Stratix III devices support configuration data decompression, which saves
configuration memory space and time. This feature allows you to store compressed
configuration data in configuration devices or other memory and transmit this
compressed bitstream to Stratix III devices. During configuration, the Stratix III
device decompresses the bitstream in real time and programs its SRAM cells.
1 Preliminary data indicates that compression typically reduces the configuration

bitstream size by 35 to 55%, based on the designs used.
Stratix III devices support decompression in the FPP (when using a MAX II
device/microprocessor + flash), fast AS, and PS configuration schemes. The Stratix III
decompression feature is not available in the JTAG configuration scheme.
1 When using FPP mode, the intelligent host must provide a DCLK that is ×4 the data
rate. Therefore, the configuration data must be valid for four DCLK cycles.
In PS mode, use the Stratix III decompression feature, because sending compressed
configuration data reduces configuration time.
When you enable compression, the Quartus II software generates configuration files
with compressed configuration data. This compressed file reduces the storage
requirements in the configuration device or flash memory, and decreases the time
needed to transmit the bitstream to the Stratix III device. The time required by a
Stratix III device to decompress a configuration file is less than the time needed to
transmit the configuration data to the device.
There are two ways to enable compression for Stratix III bitstreams: before design
compilation (in the Compiler Settings menu) and after design compilation (in the
Convert Programming Files window).
To enable compression in the project's Compiler Settings menu, perform the following
steps:
1. On the Assignments menu, click Device. The Settings dialog box appears.
2. In the Family list, select Stratix III and then click the Device and Pin Options
button.
3. On the Configuration tab, turn on the Generate compressed bitstreams
option(Figure 11–1).

Figure 11–1. Enabling Compression for Stratix III Bitstreams in Compiler Settings
You can also enable compression when creating programming files from the Convert
Programming Files window.
1. On the File menu, click Convert Programming Files.
2. In the (.pof, .sram, .hex, .rbf, or .ttf) list, select the programming file type.
3. For POF output files, select a configuration device from (.pof, .sram, .hex, .rbf, or
.ttf).
4. Under Input files to convert, select SOF Data.
5. Select Add File and add a Stratix III device SOF or SOFs.
6. Select the name of the file you added to the SOF Data area and click Properties.
7. Check the Compression check box.
When multiple Stratix III devices are cascaded, you can selectively enable the
compression feature for each device in the chain if you are using a serial configuration
scheme. Figure 11–2 shows a chain of two Stratix III devices. The first Stratix III device
has compression enabled, and receives a compressed bitstream from the configuration
device. The second Stratix III device has the compression feature disabled, and
receives uncompressed data.
In a multi-device FPP configuration chain (with a MAX II device/microprocessor +
flash), all Stratix III devices in the chain must either enable or disable the
decompression feature. You cannot selectively enable the compression feature for
each device in the chain because of the DATA and DCLK relationship.

Design Security Using Configuration Bitstream Encryption

Stratix III devices support decryption of configuration bitstreams using the advanced
encryption standard (AES) algorithm—the most advanced encryption algorithm
available today. Both non-volatile and volatile key programming are supported using
Stratix III devices. When using the design security feature, a 256-bit security key is
stored in the Stratix III device. To successfully configure a Stratix III device that has
the design security feature enabled, the device must be configured with a
configuration file that was encrypted using the same 256-bit security key. Non-volatile
key programming does not require any external devices, such as a battery backup, for
storage. However, for certain applications, you can store the security keys in volatile
memory in the Stratix III device. An external battery is needed for this volatile key
storage.
1 When using a serial configuration scheme such as PS or fast AS, configuration time is
the same whether or not the design security feature is enabled. If the FPP scheme is
used with the design security or decompression feature, a ×4 DCLK is required. This
results in a slower configuration time when compared to the configuration time of a
Stratix III device that has neither the design security nor the decompression feature
enabled.
f For more information about this feature, refer to the Design Security in Stratix III
Devices chapter in volume 1 of the Stratix III Device Handbook.

Remote System Upgrade

f Stratix III devices contain the remote update feature. For more information about this
feature, refer to the Remote System Upgrades with Stratix III Devices in volume 1 of the
Stratix III Device Handbook.
Power-On Reset Circuit

The POR circuit keeps the entire system in reset until the power supply voltage levels
have stabilized on power-up. On power-up, the device does not release nSTATUS
until VCCPT, VCCL, VCC, VCCPD, and VCCPGM are above the device’s POR trip point. On
power down, brown-out occurs if VCC or V CCL ramps down below the POR trip point
and VCC, VCCPD, or VCCPGM drops below the threshold voltage.
In Stratix III devices, a pin-selectable option (PORSEL) is provided that allows you to
select a typical POR time setting of 12 ms or 100 ms. In both cases, you can extend the
POR time by using an external component to assert the nSTATUS pin low.
VCCPGM Pins
Stratix III devices offer a new power supply, V CCPGM, for all the dedicated configuration
pins and dual function pins. The configuration voltages supported are 1.8 V, 2.5 V,
3.0 V, and 3.3 V. Stratix III devices do not support the 1.5 V configuration.
Use this pin to power all dedicated configuration inputs, dedicated configuration
outputs, dedicated configuration bi-directional pins, and some of the dual functional
pins that you use for configuration. With VCCPGM, configuration input buffers do not
have to share power lines with the regular I/O buffer in Stratix III devices.
The operating voltage for the configuration input pin is independent of the I/O
bank’s power supply V CCIO during the configuration. Therefore, no configuration
voltage constraints on VCCIO are needed in Stratix III devices.
VCCPD Pins
Stratix III devices have a dedicated programming power supply, VCCPD, which must be
connected to 3.3 V/3.0 V/2.5 V to power the I/O pre-drivers, the JTAG input and
output pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and TRST), and the design security circuitry.
1 VCCPGM and VCCPD must ramp up from 0 V to the desired voltage level within 100 ms. If
these supplies are not ramped up within this specified time, your Stratix III device
will not configure successfully. If your system does not allow ramp-up time of 100 ms
or less, you must hold nCONFIG low until all power supplies are stable.
f For more information about the configuration pins power supply, refer to “Device
Configuration Pins” on page 11–43.

Fast Passive Parallel Configuration

Fast passive parallel (FPP) configuration in Stratix III devices is designed to meet the
continuously increasing demand for faster configuration times. Stratix III devices are
designed with the capability of receiving byte-wide configuration data per clock
cycle. Table 11–4 lists the MSEL pin settings when using the FPP configuration scheme.

configuration. In these modes, the host system must output a DCLK that is ×4 the data rate.
You can perform FPP configuration of Stratix III devices using an intelligent host,
such as a MAX II device, or a microprocessor.
FPP Configuration Using a MAX II Device as an External Host

FPP configuration using compression and an external host provides the fastest
method to configure Stratix III devices. In this configuration scheme, you can use a
MAX II device as an intelligent host that controls the transfer of configuration data
from a storage device, such as flash memory, to the target Stratix III device. You can
store configuration data in .rbf, .hex, or .ttf format. When using the MAX II device as
an intelligent host, a design that controls the configuration process, such as fetching
the data from flash memory and sending it to the device, must be stored in the MAX II
device.
1 If you are using the Stratix III decompression feature, design security feature or both,
the external host must be able to send a DCLK frequency that is four times the data
rate.
The ×4 DCLK signal does not require an additional pin and is sent on the DCLK pin.
The maximum DCLK frequency is 100 MHz, which results in a maximum data rate of
200 Mbps. If you are not using the Stratix III decompression or design security
features, the data rate is the same as the DCLK frequency.

Figure 11–3 shows the configuration interface connections between the Stratix III
device and a MAX II device for single device configuration.

(1) Connect the resistor to a supply that provides an acceptable input signal for the Stratix III device. VCCPGM should be
high enough to meet the V IH specification of the I/O on the external host. It is recommended to power up all
configuration system’s I/O with VCCPGM.
Upon power-up, the Stratix III device goes through a POR. The POR delay is
dependent on the PORSEL pin setting. When PORSEL is driven low, the POR time is
approximately 100 ms. When PORSEL is driven high, the POR time is approximately
12 ms. During POR, the device resets, holds nSTATUS low, and tri-states all user I/O
pins. After the device successfully exits POR, all user I/O pins continue to be
tri-stated. If nIO_pullup is driven low during power-up and configuration, the user
I/O pins and dual-purpose I/O pins have weak pull-up resistors, which are on (after
POR) before and during configuration. If nIO_pullup is driven high, the weak
pull-up resistors are disabled.
The configuration cycle consists of three stages: reset, configuration, and initialization.
While nCONFIG or nSTATUS is low, the device is in the reset stage. To initiate
configuration, the MAX II device must drive the nCONFIG pin from low to high.
1 VCC, VCCIO, VCCPGM, and VCCPD of the banks where the configuration and JTAG pins
reside must be fully powered to the appropriate voltage levels to begin the
configuration process.
When nCONFIG goes high, the device comes out of reset and releases the open-drain
nSTATUS pin, which is then pulled high by an external 10-kΩ pull-up resistor. After
nSTATUS is released, the device is ready to receive configuration data and the
configuration stage begins. When nSTATUS is pulled high, the MAX II device places
the configuration data one byte at a time on the DATA[7..0] pins.
1 Stratix III devices receive configuration data on the DATA[7..0] pins and the clock is
received on the DCLK pin. Data is latched into the device on the rising edge of DCLK. If
you are using the Stratix III decompression feature, design security feature, or both,
the configuration data is latched on the rising edge of every fourth DCLK cycle. After
the configuration data is latched in, it is processed during the following three DCLK
cycles.

Data is continuously clocked into the target device until CONF_DONE goes high. A
low-to-high transition on CONF_DONE indicates configuration is complete and
initialization of the device can begin. The CONF_DONE pin must have an external
10-kΩ pull-up resistor for the device to initialize.
In Stratix III devices, the initialization clock source is either the internal oscillator
(typically 10 MHz) or the optional CLKUSR pin. By default, the internal oscillator is
the clock source for initialization. If you use the internal oscillator, the Stratix III
device receives enough clock cycles for proper initialization. Therefore, if the internal
oscillator is the initialization clock source, sending the entire configuration file to the
device is sufficient to configure and initialize the device. Driving DCLK to the device
after configuration is complete does not affect device operation.
You can also synchronize initialization of multiple devices or delay initialization with
the CLKUSR option. You can turn on the Enable user-supplied start-up clock
(CLKUSR) option in the Quartus II software from the General tab of the Device and
Pin Options dialog box. Supplying a clock on CLKUSR does not affect the
configuration process. After the CONF_DONE pin transitions high, CLKUSR is enabled
after the time specified as tCD2CU. When this time period elapses, Stratix III devices
require 4,436 clock cycles to initialize properly and enter user mode. Stratix III devices
support a CLKUSR fMAX of 100 MHz.
An optional INIT_DONE pin is available, which signals the end of initialization and
the start of user mode with a low-to-high transition. The Enable INIT_DONE Output
option is available in the Quartus II software on the General tab of the Device and
Pin Options dialog box. If you use the INIT_DONE pin, it is high because of an
external 10-kΩ pull-up resistor when nCONFIG is low and during the beginning of
configuration. After the option bit to enable INIT_DONE is programmed into the
device (during the first frame of configuration data), the INIT_DONE pin goes low.
When initialization is complete, the INIT_DONE pin is released and pulled high. The
MAX II device must be able to detect this low-to-high transition, which signals the
device has entered user mode. When initialization is complete, the device enters user
mode. In user mode, the user I/O pins no longer have weak pull-up resistors and
function as assigned in your design.
To ensure DCLK and DATA[7..0] are not left floating at the end of configuration, the
MAX II device must drive them either high or low, whichever is convenient on your
board. During configuration, DATA[7..0] pins are powered by V CCPGM. After
entering user mode, these pins are available as user I/O pins that are powered by
VCCIO. When you select the FPP scheme as a default in the Quartus II software, these
I/O pins are tri-stated in user mode. To change this default option in the Quartus II
software, select the Dual-Purpose Pins tab of the Device and Pin Options dialog box.
The configuration clock (DCLK) speed must be below the specified frequency to
ensure correct configuration. No maximum DCLK period exists, which means you can
pause configuration by halting DCLK for an indefinite amount of time.
1 If you are using the Stratix III decompression feature, design security feature, or both
and need to stop DCLK, it can only be stopped three clock cycles after the last data byte
was latched into the Stratix III device. If you are using the Stratix III device without
decompression or design security feature, the DCLK can only be stopped two clock
cycles after the last data byte was latched into the Stratix III device.

By stopping DCLK, the configuration circuit allows enough clock cycles to process the
last byte of latched configuration data. When the clock restarts, the MAX II device
must provide data on the DATA[7..0] pins prior to sending the first DCLK rising
edge.
If an error occurs during configuration, the device drives its nSTATUS pin low,
resetting itself internally. The low signal on the nSTATUS pin also alerts the MAX II
device that there is an error. If the Auto-restart configuration after error option
(available in the Quartus II software on the General tab of the Device and Pin
Options dialog box) is turned on, the device releases nSTATUS after a reset time-out
period (maximum of 100 μs). After nSTATUS is released and pulled high by a pull-up
resistor, the MAX II device can try to reconfigure the target device without needing to
pulse nCONFIG low. If this option is turned off, the MAX II device must generate a
low-to-high transition (with a low pulse of at least 2 μs) on nCONFIG to restart the
1 If you have enabled the Auto-restart configuration after error option, the nSTATUS pin
transitions from high to low and back again to high when a configuration error is
detected. This appears as a low pulse at the nSTATUS pin with a minimum pulse width
of 10 μs to a maximum pulse width of 500 μs, as defined in the tSTATUS specification.
The MAX II device can also monitor the CONF_DONE and INIT_DONE pins to ensure
successful configuration. The MAX II device must monitor the CONF_DONE pin to
detect errors and determine when programming completes. If all configuration data is
sent, but the CONF_DONE or INIT_DONE signals have not gone high, the MAX II
device will reconfigure the target device.
1 If you use the optional CLKUSR pin and the nCONFIG is pulled low to restart
configuration during device initialization, you must ensure CLKUSR continues
toggling during the time nSTATUS is low (maximum of 100 µs).
When the device is in user mode, transitioning the nCONFIG pin low to high initiates
a reconfiguration. The nCONFIG pin should be low for at least 2 μs. When nCONFIG is
pulled low, the device also pulls nSTATUS and CONF_DONE low and all I/O pins are
tri-stated. After nCONFIG returns to a logic high level and nSTATUS is released by the
device, reconfiguration begins.

Figure 11–4 shows how to configure multiple devices using a MAX II device. This
circuit is similar to the FPP configuration circuit for a single device, except the
Stratix III devices are cascaded for multi-device configuration.

(1) Connect the resistor to a supply that provides an acceptable input signal for all Stratix III devices on the chain. V CCPGM should be high enough to
meet the V IH specification of the I/O on the external host. It is recommended to power up all configuration system’s I/O with V CCPGM.
In a multi-device FPP configuration, the first device’s nCE pin is connected to GND
while its nCEO pin is connected to nCE of the next device in the chain. The last
device’s nCE input comes from the previous device, while its nCEO pin is left floating.
After the first device completes configuration in a multi-device configuration chain,
its nCEO pin drives low to activate the second device’s nCE pin, which prompts the
second device to begin configuration. The second device in the chain begins
configuration within one clock cycle; therefore, the transfer of data destinations is
transparent to the MAX II device. All other configuration pins (nCONFIG, nSTATUS,
DCLK, DATA[7..0], and CONF_DONE) are connected to every device in the chain. The
configuration signals may require buffering to ensure signal integrity and prevent
clock skew problems. Ensure that the DCLK and DATA lines are buffered for every
fourth device. Because all device CONF_DONE pins are tied together, all devices
initialize and enter user mode at the same time.
All nSTATUS and CONF_DONE pins are tied together. If any device detects an error,
configuration stops for the entire chain and you must reconfigure the entire chain. For
example, if the first device flags an error on nSTATUS, it resets the chain by pulling its
nSTATUS pin low. This behavior is similar to a single device detecting an error.
If the Auto-restart configuration after error option is turned on, the devices release
their nSTATUS pins after a reset time-out period (maximum of 100 μs). After all
nSTATUS pins are released and pulled high, the MAX II device tries to reconfigure the
chain without pulsing nCONFIG low. If this option is turned off, the MAX II device
must generate a low-to-high transition (with a low pulse of at least 2 μs) on nCONFIG
to restart the configuration process.

In a multi-device FPP configuration chain, all Stratix III devices in the chain must
either enable or disable the decompression feature, design security feature, or both.
You cannot selectively enable the decompression feature, design security feature, or
both for each device in the chain because of the DATA and DCLK relationship. If the
chain contains devices that do not support design security, you should use a serial
If a system has multiple devices that contain the same configuration data, tie all
device nCE inputs to GND, and leave nCEO pins floating. All other configuration pins
(nCONFIG, nSTATUS, DCLK, DATA[7..0], and CONF_DONE) are connected to every
device in the chain. Configuration signals may require buffering to ensure signal
integrity and prevent clock skew problems. Ensure that the DCLK and DATA lines are
buffered for every fourth device. Devices must be the same density and package. All
devices start and complete configuration at the same time. Figure 11–5 shows a
multi-device FPP configuration when both Stratix III devices are receiving the same
configuration data.

(2) The nCEO pins of both devices are left unconnected when configuring the same configuration data into multiple devices.
You can use a single configuration chain to configure Stratix III devices with other
Altera devices that support FPP configuration, such as other types of Stratix devices.
To ensure that all devices in the chain complete configuration at the same time, or that
an error flagged by one device initiates reconfiguration in all devices, tie all of the
device CONF_DONE and nSTATUS pins together.

configuration chain, refer to Configuring Mixed Altera FPGA Chains in the Configuration
Handbook.

FPP Configuration Using a Microprocessor

In this configuration scheme, a microprocessor can control the transfer of
configuration data from a storage device, such as flash memory, to the target Stratix III
device.
1 All information in “FPP Configuration Using a MAX II Device as an External Host”

on page 11–8 is also applicable when using a microprocessor as an external host. Refer
to this section for all configuration and timing information.

Fast Active Serial Configuration (Serial Configuration Devices)

In the fast AS configuration scheme, Stratix III devices are configured using a serial
configuration device. These configuration devices are low-cost devices with
non-volatile memory that feature a simple four-pin interface and a small form factor.
These features make serial configuration devices an ideal low-cost configuration
solution.
f For more information about serial configuration devices, refer to the Serial
Configuration Devices Data Sheet in the Configuration Handbook.
Serial configuration devices provide a serial interface to access configuration data.

During device configuration, Stratix III devices read configuration data through the
serial interface, decompress data if necessary, and configure their SRAM cells. This
scheme is referred to as the AS configuration scheme, because the Stratix III device
controls the configuration interface. This scheme contrasts with the PS configuration
scheme, where the configuration device controls the interface.
1 The Stratix III decompression and design security features are fully available when
configuring your Stratix III device using fast AS mode.
Table 11–7 lists the MSEL pin settings for the AS configuration scheme.

Fast AS (40 MHz) 0 1 1
Remote system upgrade fast AS (40 MHz) 0 1 1
(1) Use EPCS16, EPCS64, or EPCS128 devices.
Serial configuration devices have a four-pin interface: serial clock input (DCLK), serial
data output (DATA), AS data input (ASDI), and an active-low chip select (nCS). This
four-pin interface connects to Stratix III device pins, as shown in Figure 11–8.

(1) Connect the pull-up resistors to VCCPGM at 3.3-V supply.
(2) Stratix III devices use the ASDO-to-ASDI path to control the configuration device.
Upon power-up, the Stratix III devices go through a POR. The POR delay is
approximately 100 ms. If PORSEL is driven high, the POR time is approximately
12 ms. During POR, the device will reset, hold nSTATUS and CONF_DONE low, and
tri-state all user I/O pins. After the device successfully exits POR, all user I/O pins
continue to be tri-stated. If nIO_pullup is driven low during power-up and
configuration, the user I/O pins and dual-purpose I/O pins will have weak pull-up
resistors which are on (after POR) before and during configuration. If nIO_pullup is
driven high, the weak pull-up resistors are disabled.
While nCONFIG or nSTATUS are low, the device is in reset. After POR, the Stratix III
device releases nSTATUS, which is pulled high by an external 10-kΩ pull-up resistor
and enters configuration mode.
1 To begin configuration, power the VCC, VCCIO, VCCPGM, and VCCPD voltages (for the banks
where the configuration and JTAG pins reside) to the appropriate voltage levels.
The serial clock (DCLK) generated by the Stratix III device controls the entire
configuration cycle and provides the timing for the serial interface. Stratix III devices
use an internal oscillator to generate DCLK. Using the MSEL[] pins, you can select to
use a 40 MHz oscillator.
In fast AS configuration schemes, Stratix III devices drive out control signals on the
falling edge of DCLK. The serial configuration device responds to the instructions by
driving out configuration data on the falling edge of DCLK. Then the data is latched
into the Stratix III device on the following falling edge of DCLK.

In configuration mode, Stratix III devices enable the serial configuration device by
driving the nCSO output pin low, which connects to the chip select (nCS) pin of the
configuration device. The Stratix III device uses the serial clock (DCLK) and serial data
output (ASDO) pins to send operation commands, read address signals, or both to the
serial configuration device. The configuration device provides data on its serial data
output (DATA) pin, which connects to the DATA0 input of the Stratix III devices.
After all configuration bits are received by the Stratix III device, it releases the
open-drain CONF_DONE pin, which is pulled high by an external 10-kΩ resistor.
Initialization begins only after the CONF_DONE signal reaches a logic high level. All AS
configuration pins (DATA0, DCLK, nCSO, and ASDO) have weak internal pull-up
resistors that are always active. After configuration, these pins are set as input
tri-stated and are driven high by the weak internal pull-up resistors. The CONF_DONE
pin must have an external 10-kΩ pull-up resistor for the device to initialize.
In Stratix III devices, the initialization clock source is either the 10 MHz (typical)
internal oscillator (separate from the active serial internal oscillator) or the optional
CLKUSR pin. By default, the internal oscillator is the clock source for initialization. If
you use the internal oscillator, the Stratix III device has enough clock cycles for proper
initialization. You also have the flexibility to synchronize initialization of multiple
devices or to delay initialization with the CLKUSR option. You can turn on the Enable
user-supplied start-up clock (CLKUSR) option in the Quartus II software on the
General tab of the Device and Pin Options dialog box. When you enable the user
supplied start-up clock option, the CLKUSR pin is the initialization clock source.
Supplying a clock on CLKUSR does not affect the configuration process. When all
configuration data has been accepted and CONF_DONE goes high, CLKUSR is enabled
after 600 ns. After this time period elapses, Stratix III devices require 4,436 clock cycles
to initialize properly and enter user mode. Stratix III devices support a CLKUSR fMAX of
100 MHz.
the start of user-mode with a low-to-high transition. The Enable INIT_DONE Output
Pin Options dialog box. If you use the INIT_DONE pin, it will be high due to an
configuration. When the option bit to enable INIT_DONE is programmed into the
device (during the first frame of configuration data), the INIT_DONE pin goes low.
When initialization is complete, the INIT_DONE pin is released and pulled high. This
low-to-high transition signals that the device has entered user mode. When
initialization is complete, the device enters user mode. In user mode, the user I/O
pins no longer have weak pull-up resistors and function as assigned in your design.
If an error occurs during configuration, Stratix III devices assert the nSTATUS signal
low, indicating a data frame error, and the CONF_DONE signal stays low. If the
Auto-restart configuration after error option (available in the Quartus II software on
the General tab of the Device and Pin Options dialog box) is turned on, the Stratix III
device resets the configuration device by pulsing nCSO, releases nSTATUS after a reset
time-out period (maximum of 100 μs), and retries configuration. If this option is
turned off, the system must monitor nSTATUS for errors and then pulse nCONFIG low
for at least 2 μs to restart configuration.

When the Stratix III device is in user mode, you can initiate reconfiguration by pulling
the nCONFIG pin low. The nCONFIG pin should be low for at least 2 μs. When
nCONFIG is pulled low, the device also pulls nSTATUS and CONF_DONE low and all
I/O pins are tri-stated. When nCONFIG returns to a logic high level and nSTATUS is
released by the Stratix III device, reconfiguration begins.
You can configure multiple Stratix III devices using a single serial configuration
device. You can cascade multiple Stratix III devices using the chip-enable (nCE) and
chip-enable-out (nCEO) pins. The first device in the chain must have its nCE pin
connected to ground. You must connect its nCEO pin to the nCE pin of the next device
in the chain. When the first device captures all of its configuration data from the
bitstream, it drives the nCEO pin low, enabling the next device in the chain. You must
leave the nCEO pin of the last device unconnected. The nCONFIG, nSTATUS,
CONF_DONE, DCLK, and DATA0 pins of each device in the chain are connected (refer to
Figure 11–9).
This first Stratix III device in the chain is the configuration master and controls
configuration of the entire chain. You must connect its MSEL pins to select the AS
configuration scheme. The remaining Stratix III devices are configuration slaves. You
must connect their MSEL pins to select the PS configuration scheme. Any other Altera
device that supports PS configuration can also be part of the chain as a configuration
slave. Figure 11–9 shows the pin connections for this setup.

configuration data), it releases its CONF_DONE pin. The subsequent devices in the
chain keep this shared CONF_DONE line low until they have received their
configuration data. When all target devices in the chain have received their
configuration data and released CONF_DONE, the pull-up resistor drives a high level
on this line and all devices simultaneously enter initialization mode.
If an error occurs at any point during configuration, the nSTATUS line is driven low
by the failing device. If you enable the Auto-restart configuration after error option,
reconfiguration of the entire chain begins after a reset time-out period (maximum of
100 µs). If the Auto-restart configuration after error option is turned off, the external
system must monitor nSTATUS for errors and then pulse nCONFIG low to restart
configuration. The external system can pulse nCONFIG if it is under system control
rather than tied to VCCPGM.
1 While you can cascade Stratix III devices, you cannot cascade or chain together serial
configuration devices.

If the configuration bitstream size exceeds the capacity of a serial configuration

device, you must select a larger configuration device, enable the compression feature,
or both. When configuring multiple devices, the size of the bitstream is the sum of the
individual devices’ configuration bitstreams.
A system may have multiple devices that contain the same configuration data. In
active serial chains, you can implement this by storing one copy of the SOF in the
serial configuration device. The same copy of the SOF configures the master Stratix III
device and all remaining slave devices concurrently. All Stratix III devices must be the
same density and package. The master device is set up in active serial mode and the
slave devices are set up in passive serial mode.
To configure four identical Stratix III devices with the same SOF, you could set up the
chain similar to the example shown in Figure 11–10. The first device is the master
device, and its MSEL pins should be set to select AS configuration. The other three
slave devices are set up for concurrent configuration, and their MSEL pins should be
set to select PS configuration. The nCE input pins from the master and slave are
connected to GND, and the DATA and DCLK pins connect in parallel to all four devices.
During the configuration cycle, the master device reads its configuration data from
the serial configuration device and transmits the second copy of the configuration
data to all three slave devices, configuring all of them simultaneously.

Estimating Active Serial Configuration Time

Active serial configuration time is dominated by the time it takes to transfer data from
the serial configuration device to the Stratix III device. This serial interface is clocked
by the Stratix III DCLK output (generated from an internal oscillator). Because the
Stratix III device only supports fast AS configuration, the DCLK frequency needs to be
set to 40 MHz (25 ns). The minimum configuration time estimate for an EP3SL50
device (15 MBits of uncompressed data) is shown in Equation 11–1 and Example 11–1.
Equation 11–1.
RBF Size × (minimum DCLK period / 1 bit per DCLK cycle) = estimated minimum configuration
time
Example 11–1.
15 Mbits × (25 ns / 1 bit) = 375 ms

Enabling compression reduces the amount of configuration data that is transmitted to

the Stratix III device, which also reduces configuration time. On average, compression
reduces configuration time, depending on the design.

Programming Serial Configuration Devices

Serial configuration devices are non-volatile, flash-memory-based devices. You can
program these devices in-system using the USB-Blaster™ or ByteBlaster™ II
download cable. Alternatively, you can program them using the Altera programming
unit (APU), supported third-party programmers, or a microprocessor with the
SRunner software driver.
You can perform in-system programming of serial configuration devices by using the
conventional AS programming interface or JTAG interface solution.
Because serial configuration devices do not support the JTAG interface, the
conventional method to program them is by using the AS programming interface. The
configuration data used to program serial configuration devices is downloaded by
using the programming hardware.
During in-system programming, the download cable disables device access to the AS
interface by driving the nCE pin high. Stratix III devices are also held in reset by a low
level on nCONFIG. After programming is complete, the download cable releases nCE
and nCONFIG, allowing the pull-down and pull-up resistors to drive GND and
VCCPGM, respectively. Figure 11–12 shows the download cable connections to the serial
configuration device.
Altera has developed the Serial FlashLoader (SFL), which is an in-system
programming solution for serial configuration devices using the JTAG interface. This
solution requires the Stratix III device to be a bridge between the JTAG interface and
the serial configuration device.
f For more information about the SFL, refer to AN 370: Using the Serial FlashLoader with
the Quartus II Software.

Download Cable User Guide. For more information about the ByteBlaster II cable, refer

You can program serial configuration devices with the Quartus II software using the
Altera programming hardware and the appropriate configuration device
programming adapter.
In production environments, you can program serial configuration devices using
multiple methods. You can use Altera programming hardware or other third-party
programming hardware to program blank serial configuration devices before they are
mounted onto PCBs. Alternatively, you can use an on-board microprocessor to
program the serial configuration device in-system using C-based software drivers
provided by Altera.
You can program a serial configuration device in-system by an external
microprocessor using SRunner. SRunner is a software driver developed for embedded
serial configuration device programming that can be easily customized to fit in
different embedded systems. SRunner is able to read a raw programming data (.rpd)
file and write to the serial configuration devices. The serial configuration device
programming time using SRunner is comparable to the programming time with the
Quartus II software.
f For more information about SRunner, refer to AN 418: SRunner: An Embedded Solution
for EPCS Programming and the source code on the Altera website at www.altera.com.

EPCS16, EPCS64, and EPCS128) Data Sheet in the Configuration Handbook.

You can program PS configuration of Stratix III devices using an intelligent host, such
as a MAX II device or microprocessor with flash memory, or a download cable. In the
PS scheme, an external host (a MAX II device, embedded processor, or host PC)
controls configuration. Configuration data is clocked into the target Stratix III device
by using the DATA0 pin at each rising edge of DCLK.
1 The Stratix III decompression and design security features are fully available when
configuring your Stratix III device using PS mode.
Table 11–9 lists the MSEL pin settings when using the PS configuration scheme.

PS Configuration Using a MAX II Device as an External Host

In this configuration scheme, you can use a MAX II device as an intelligent host that
controls the transfer of configuration data from a storage device, such as flash
memory, to the target Stratix III device. You can store configuration data in .rbf, .hex,
or .ttf format. Figure 11–13 shows the configuration interface connections between a
Stratix III device and a MAX II device for single device configuration.

(1) Connect the resistor to a supply that provides an acceptable input signal for the Stratix III device. VCCPGM must be
high enough to meet the V IH specification of the I/O on the external host. It is recommended to power up all
configuration systems’ I/O with V CCPGM.

Upon power-up, Stratix III devices go through a POR. The POR delay is dependent on
the PORSEL pin setting. When PORSEL is driven low, the POR time is approximately
100 ms. When PORSEL is driven high, the POR time is approximately 12 ms. During
POR, the device resets, holds nSTATUS low, and tri-states all user I/O pins. When the
device successfully exits POR, all user I/O pins continue to be tri-stated. If
nIO_pullup is driven low during power-up and configuration, the user I/O pins
and dual-purpose I/O pins will have weak pull-up resistors that are on (after POR)
before and during configuration. If nIO_pullup is driven high, the weak pull-up
resistors are disabled.
While nCONFIG or nSTATUS are low, the device is in reset. To initiate configuration,
the MAX II device must generate a low-to-high transition on the nCONFIG pin.
1 VCC, VCCIO, VCCPGM, and VCCPD of the banks where the configuration and JTAG pins
reside must be fully powered to the appropriate voltage levels to begin the
nSTATUS pin, which is then pulled high by an external 10-kΩ pull-up resistor. When
configuration stage begins. When nSTATUS is pulled high, the MAX II device should
place the configuration data one bit at a time on the DATA0 pin. If you are using
configuration data in .rbf, .hex, or .ttf format, you must send the least significant bit
(LSB) of each data byte first. For example, if the RBF contains the byte sequence 02
1B EE 01 FA, the serial bitstream you must transmit to the device is 0100-0000
1101-1000 0111-0111 1000-0000 0101-1111.
The Stratix III device receives configuration data on the DATA0 pin and the clock is
received on the DCLK pin. Data is latched into the device on the rising edge of DCLK.
Data is continuously clocked into the target device until CONF_DONE goes high. After
the device has received all configuration data successfully, it releases the open-drain
CONF_DONE pin, which is pulled high by an external 10-kΩ pull-up resistor. A
low-to-high transition on CONF_DONE indicates configuration is complete and
initialization of the device can begin. The CONF_DONE pin must have an external
10-kΩ pull-up resistor for the device to initialize.
In Stratix III devices, the initialization clock source is either the internal oscillator
(typically 10 MHz) or the optional CLKUSR pin. By default, the internal oscillator is
the clock source for initialization. If you use the internal oscillator, the Stratix III
device has enough clock cycles for proper initialization. Therefore, if the internal
oscillator is the initialization clock source, sending the entire configuration file to the
device is sufficient to configure and initialize the device. Driving DCLK to the device
after configuration is complete does not affect device operation.
You also have the flexibility to synchronize initialization of multiple devices or to
delay initialization with the CLKUSR option. You can turn on the Enable
user-supplied start-up clock (CLKUSR) option in the Quartus II software on the
General tab of the Device and Pin Options dialog box. If you supply a clock on
CLKUSR, it will not affect the configuration process. After all configuration data has
been accepted and CONF_DONE goes high, CLKUSR will be enabled after the time
specified as tCD2CU. After this time period elapses, Stratix III devices require 4,436 clock
cycles to initialize properly and enter user mode. Stratix III devices support a CLKUSR
fMAX of 100 MHz.

the start of user-mode with a low-to-high transition. The Enable INIT_DONE Output
Pin Options dialog box. If you use the INIT_DONE pin, it will be high due to an
configuration. When the option bit to enable INIT_DONE is programmed into the
device (during the first frame of configuration data), the INIT_DONE pin will go low.
When initialization is complete, the INIT_DONE pin will be released and pulled high.
The MAX II device must be able to detect this low-to-high transition, which signals
the device has entered user mode. When initialization is complete, the device enters
user mode. In user mode, the user I/O pins will no longer have weak pull-up resistors
and will function as assigned in your design.
To ensure DCLK and DATA0 are not left floating at the end of configuration, the
MAX II device must drive them either high or low, whichever is convenient on your
board. The DATA[0] pin is available as a user I/O pin after configuration. When you
choose the PS scheme as a default in the Quartus II software, this I/O pin is tri-stated
in user mode and should be driven by the MAX II device. To change this default
option in the Quartus II software, click the Dual-Purpose Pins tab of the Device and
Pin Options dialog box.
The configuration clock (DCLK) speed must be below the specified frequency to
ensure correct configuration. No maximum DCLK period exists, which means you can
pause configuration by halting DCLK for an indefinite amount of time.
If an error occurs during configuration, the device drives its nSTATUS pin low,
resetting itself internally. The low signal on the nSTATUS pin also alerts the MAX II
device that there is an error. If the Auto-restart configuration after error option
(available in the Quartus II software on the General tab of the Device and Pin
Options dialog box) is turned on, the Stratix III device releases nSTATUS after a reset
time-out period (maximum of 100 μs). After nSTATUS is released and pulled high by a
pull-up resistor, the MAX II device can attempt to reconfigure the target device
without needing to pulse nCONFIG low. If this option is turned off, the MAX II device
must generate a low-to-high transition (with a low pulse of at least 2 μs) on nCONFIG
to restart the configuration process.
The MAX II device can also monitor the CONF_DONE and INIT_DONE pins to ensure
successful configuration. The CONF_DONE pin must be monitored by the MAX II
device to detect errors and determine when programming completes. If all
configuration data is sent, but CONF_DONE or INIT_DONE have not gone high, the
MAX II device must reconfigure the target device.
1 If you use the optional CLKUSR pin and nCONFIG is pulled low to restart
configuration during device initialization, you must ensure that CLKUSR continues
toggling during the time nSTATUS is low (maximum of 100 µs).

When the device is in user mode, you can initiate a reconfiguration by transitioning
the nCONFIG pin low-to-high. The nCONFIG pin must be low for at least 2 μs. When
nCONFIG is pulled low, the device also pulls nSTATUS and CONF_DONE low and all
I/O pins are tri-stated. When nCONFIG returns to a logic high level and nSTATUS is
released by the device, reconfiguration begins.
Figure 11–14 shows how to configure multiple devices using a MAX II device. This
circuit is similar to the PS configuration circuit for a single device, except Stratix III
devices are cascaded for multi-device configuration.

(1) Connect the resistor to a supply that provides an acceptable input signal for all Stratix III devices on the chain. VCCPGM must be high enough to
meet the V IH specification of the I/O on the external host. It is recommended to power up all configuration systems’ I/O with VCCPGM.
In multi-device PS configuration, the first device’s nCE pin is connected to GND while
its nCEO pin is connected to nCE of the next device in the chain. The last device’s nCE
input comes from the previous device, while its nCEO pin is left floating. After the first
device completes configuration in a multi-device configuration chain, its nCEO pin
drives low to activate the second device’s nCE pin, which prompts the second device
to begin configuration. The second device in the chain begins configuration within
one clock cycle. Therefore, the transfer of data destinations is transparent to the
MAX II device. All other configuration pins (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, DCLK, DATA0, and
CONF_DONE) are connected to every device in the chain. Configuration signals can
require buffering to ensure signal integrity and prevent clock skew problems. Ensure
that the DCLK and DATA lines are buffered for every fourth device. Because all device
CONF_DONE pins are tied together, all devices initialize and enter user mode at the
same time.
Since all nSTATUS and CONF_DONE pins are tied together, if any device detects an
error, configuration stops for the entire chain and you must reconfigure the entire
chain. For example, if the first device flags an error on nSTATUS, it resets the chain by
pulling its nSTATUS pin low. This behavior is similar to a single device detecting an
error.

If the Auto-restart configuration after error option is turned on, the devices release
their nSTATUS pins after a reset time-out period (maximum of 100 μs). After all
nSTATUS pins are released and pulled high, the MAX II device can attempt to
reconfigure the chain without needing to pulse nCONFIG low. If this option is turned
off, the MAX II device must generate a low-to-high transition (with a low pulse of at
least 2 μs) on nCONFIG to restart the configuration process.
In your system, you can have multiple devices that contain the same configuration
data. To support this configuration scheme, all device nCE inputs are tied to GND,
while nCEO pins are left floating. All other configuration pins (nCONFIG, nSTATUS,
DCLK, DATA0, and CONF_DONE) are connected to every device in the chain.
Configuration signals can require buffering to ensure signal integrity and prevent
clock skew problems. Ensure that the DCLK and DATA lines are buffered for every
fourth device. Devices must be the same density and package. All devices will start
and complete configuration at the same time. Figure 11–15 shows multi-device PS
configuration when both Stratix III devices are receiving the same configuration data.

devices, all of the device CONF_DONE and nSTATUS pins must be tied together.

PS Configuration Using a Microprocessor

In this PS configuration scheme, a microprocessor can control the transfer of
configuration data from a storage device, such as flash memory, to the target Stratix III
device.
f You can do a PS configuration using MicroBlaster™ Passive Serial Software Driver.

For more information, refer to AN423: Configuring the MicroBlaster Passive Serial
Software Driver.
1 For all configuration and timing information, refer to “PS Configuration Using a
MAX II Device as an External Host” on page 11–27. This section is also applicable
when using a microprocessor as an external host.
PS Configuration Using a Download Cable

In this section, the generic term download cable includes the Altera USB-Blaster USB
port download cable, MasterBlaster™ serial/USB communications cable,
ByteBlaster II parallel port download cable, ByteBlasterMV™ parallel port download
cable, and the EthernetBlaster download cable.
In PS configuration with a download cable, an intelligent host (such as a PC) transfers
data from a storage device to the device by using the USB-Blaster, MasterBlaster,
ByteBlaster II, EthernetBlaster, or ByteBlasterMV cable.

Upon power-up, the Stratix III devices go through a POR. The POR delay is
approximately 100 ms. If PORSEL is driven high, the POR time is approximately
12 ms. During POR, the device will reset, hold nSTATUS low, and tri-state all user I/O
pins. After the device successfully exits POR, all user I/O pins continue to be
tri-stated. If nIO_pullup is driven low during power-up and configuration, the user
I/O pins and dual-purpose I/O pins will have weak pull-up resistors which are on
(after POR) before and during configuration. If nIO_pullup is driven high, the weak
pull-up resistors are disabled.
The configuration cycle consists of three stages: reset, configuration and initialization.
While nCONFIG or nSTATUS are low, the device is in reset. To initiate configuration in
this scheme, the download cable generates a low-to-high transition on the nCONFIG
pin.
1 To begin configuration, power the VCC, VCCIO, VCCPGM, and VCCPD voltages (for the banks
where the configuration and JTAG pins reside) to the appropriate voltage levels.
nSTATUS pin, which is then pulled high by an external 10-kΩ pull-up resistor. After
configuration stage begins. The programming hardware or download cable then
places the configuration data one bit at a time on the device's DATA0 pin. The
configuration data is clocked into the target device until CONF_DONE goes high. The
CONF_DONE pin must have an external 10-kΩ pull-up resistor in order for the device
to initialize.
When using a download cable, setting the Auto-restart configuration after error
option does not affect the configuration cycle because you must manually restart
configuration in the Quartus II software when an error occurs. Additionally, the
Enable user-supplied start-up clock (CLKUSR) option has no affect on the device
initialization since this option is disabled in the SOF when programming the device
using the Quartus II programmer and download cable. Therefore, if you turn on the
CLKUSR option, you do not need to provide a clock on CLKUSR when you are
configuring the device with the Quartus II programmer and a download cable.
Figure 11–17 shows PS configuration for Stratix III devices using a USB-Blaster,
MasterBlaster, ByteBlaster II, ByteBlasterMV, or EthernetBlaster cable.

(1) You should connect the pull-up resistor to the same supply voltage (VCC PGM ) as the USB-Blaster, MasterBlaster (VIO pin), ByteBlaster II,
ByteBlasterMV, or EthernetBlaster cable.
(2) You only need the pull-up resistors on DATA0 and DCLK if the download cable is the only configuration scheme used on your board. This ensures
that DATA0 and DCLK are not left floating after configuration. For example, if you are also using a configuration device, you do not need the
pull-up resistors on DATA0 and DCLK.
(3) Pin 6 of the header is a VIO reference voltage for the MasterBlaster output driver. VIO should match the device's V C CP GM. Refer to the MasterBlaster
Serial/USB Communications Cable Data Sheet for this value. In the USB-Blaster, ByteBlaster II, ByteBlasterMV, or EthernetBlaster cable, this pin
is a no connect.
You can use a download cable to configure multiple Stratix III devices by connecting
each device's nCEO pin to the subsequent device's nCE pin. The first device's nCE pin
is connected to GND while its nCEO pin is connected to the nCE of the next device in
the chain. The last device's nCE input comes from the previous device, while its nCEO
pin is left floating. All other configuration pins (nCONFIG, nSTATUS, DCLK, DATA0,
and CONF_DONE) are connected to every device in the chain. Because all CONF_DONE
pins are tied together, all devices in the chain initialize and enter user mode at the
same time.
In addition, because the nSTATUS pins are tied together, the entire chain halts
configuration if any device detects an error. The Auto-restart configuration after
error option does not affect the configuration cycle because you must manually restart
configuration in the Quartus II software when an error occurs.

(2) You only need the pull-up resistors on DATA0 and DCLK if the download cable is the only configuration scheme used on your board. This is to
ensure that DATA0 and DCLK are not left floating after configuration. For example, if you are also using a configuration device, you do not need
the pull-up resistors on DATA0 and DCLK.
(3) Pin 6 of the header is a VIO reference voltage for the MasterBlaster output driver. VIO should match the device's VC CP GM. Refer to the MasterBlaster
Serial/USB Communications Cable Data Sheet for this value. In the USB-Blaster, ByteBlaster II, ByteBlasterMV, or EthernetBlaster cable, this pin
is a no connect.

JTAG Configuration
JTAG Configuration
The JTAG has developed a specification for boundary-scan testing. This
boundary-scan test (BST) architecture offers the capability to efficiently test
components on PCBs with tight lead spacing. The BST architecture can test pin
connections without using physical test probes and capture functional data while a
device is operating normally. You can also use the JTAG circuitry to shift
configuration data into the device. The Quartus II software automatically generates
SOFs that can be used for JTAG configuration with a download cable in the Quartus II
software programmer.
f For more information about JTAG boundary-scan testing and commands available
using Stratix III devices, refer to the following documents:
■ IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary Scan Testing in Stratix III Device chapter of the
Stratix III Device Handbook
■ AN 425: Using the Command-Line Jam STAPL Solution for Device Programming
Stratix III devices are designed such that JTAG instructions have precedence over any
device configuration modes. Therefore, JTAG configuration can take place without
waiting for other configuration modes to complete. For example, if you attempt JTAG
configuration of Stratix III devices during PS configuration, PS configuration is
terminated and JTAG configuration begins.
1 You cannot use the Stratix III decompression or design security features if you are
configuring your Stratix III device when using JTAG-based configuration.
1 A device operating in JTAG mode uses four required pins, TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK,
and one optional pin, TRST. The TCK pin has an internal weak pull-down resistor,
while the TDI, TMS, and TRST pins have weak internal pull-up resistors (typically
25 kΩ). JTAG output pin TDO and all JTAG input pins are powered by the
2.5 V/3.0 V/3.3 V VCCPD power supply of I/O bank 1A. All the JTAG pins support
only LVTTL I/O standard.
All user I/O pins are tri-stated during JTAG configuration. Table 11–11 explains each
JTAG pin's function.
f The TDO output is powered by the VCCPD power supply of I/O bank 1A. For
recommendations on how to connect a JTAG chain with multiple voltages across the
devices in the chain, refer to the IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary Scan Testing in Stratix III
Devices chapter of the Stratix III Device Handbook.

During JTAG configuration, you can download data to the device on the PCB through
the USB-Blaster, MasterBlaster, ByteBlaster II, ByteBlasterMV, or EthernetBlaster
download cables. Configuring devices through a cable is similar to programming
devices in-system, except you should connect the TRST pin to VCCPD. This ensures that
the TAP controller is not reset.

JTAG mode through the ByteBlaster II or ByteBlasterMV download cables for
embedded configurations. For more information, refer to AN 414: The JRunner

no connect.
(4) You must connect nCE to GND or drive it low for successful JTAG configuration.
(5) Pull-up resistor values can vary from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ.
To configure a single device in a JTAG chain, the programming software places all
other devices in bypass mode. In bypass mode, devices pass programming data from
the TDI pin to the TDO pin through a single bypass register without being affected
internally. This scheme enables the programming software to program or verify the
target device. Configuration data driven into the device appears on the TDO pin one
clock cycle later.
The Quartus II software verifies successful JTAG configuration upon completion. At
the end of configuration, the software checks the state of CONF_DONE through the
JTAG port. When Quartus II generates a JAM file (.jam) for a multi-device chain, it
contains instructions so that all the devices in the chain will be initialized at the same
time. If CONF_DONE is not high, the Quartus II software indicates that configuration
has failed. If CONF_DONE is high, the software indicates that configuration was
successful. After the configuration bitstream is transmitted serially through the JTAG
TDI port, the TCK port is clocked an additional 1,094 cycles to perform device
initialization.

JTAG Configuration
Stratix III devices have dedicated JTAG pins that always function as JTAG pins. Not
only can you perform JTAG testing on Stratix III devices before and after, but also
during configuration. While other device families do not support JTAG testing during
configuration, Stratix III devices support the bypass, id code, and sample instructions
during configuration without interrupting configuration. All other JTAG instructions
may only be issued by first interrupting configuration and reprogramming I/O pins
using the CONFIG_IO instruction.
The CONFIG_IO instruction allows I/O buffers to be configured by using the JTAG
port and when issued, interrupts configuration. This instruction allows you to
perform board-level testing prior to configuring the Stratix III device or waiting for a
configuration device to complete configuration. When configuration has been
interrupted and JTAG testing is complete, you must reconfigure the part by using
JTAG (PULSE_CONFIG instruction) or by pulsing nCONFIG low.
The chip-wide reset (DEV_CLRn) and chip-wide output enable (DEV_OE) pins on
Stratix III devices do not affect JTAG boundary-scan or programming operations.
Toggling these pins does not affect JTAG operations (other than the usual
boundary-scan operation).
When designing a board for JTAG configuration of Stratix III devices, consider the
dedicated configuration pins. Table 11–12 lists how these pins should be connected
during JTAG configuration.
Table 11–12. Dedicated Configuration Pin Connections During JTAG Configuration

Signal Description
On all Stratix III devices in the chain, nCE should be driven low by connecting it to ground, pulling it low by
using a resistor, or driving it by some control circuitry. For devices that are also in multi-device FPP, AS, or
nCE
PS configuration chains, the nCE pins should be connected to GND during JTAG configuration or JTAG
configured in the same order as the configuration chain.
On all Stratix III devices in the chain, you can leave nCEO floating or connected to the nCE of the next
nCEO
device.
These pins must not be left floating. These pins support whichever non-JTAG configuration is used in
MSEL
production. If you only use JTAG configuration, tie these pins to ground.
nCONFIG Driven high by connecting to VC CPGM , pull up by using a resistor, or driven high by some control circuitry.
Pull to VCC PGM by using a 10-kΩ resistor. When configuring multiple devices in the same JTAG chain, each
nSTATUS
nSTATUS pin should be pulled up to VCC PGM individually.
Pull to VCC PGM by using a 10-kΩ resistor. When configuring multiple devices in the same JTAG chain, each
CONF_DONE CONF_DONE pin should be pulled up to VCC PGM individually. CONF_DONE going high at the end of JTAG
configuration indicates successful configuration.
DCLK Should not be left floating. Drive low or high, whichever is more convenient on your board.
When programming a JTAG device chain, one JTAG-compatible header is connected

to several devices. The number of devices in the JTAG chain is limited only by the
drive capability of the download cable. When four or more devices are connected in a
JTAG chain, Altera recommends buffering the TCK, TDI, and TMS pins with an
on-board buffer.
JTAG-chain device programming is ideal when the system contains multiple devices,
or when testing your system using JTAG BST circuitry. Figure 11–20 shows
multi-device JTAG configuration.

(1) Connect the pull-up resistor to the same supply voltage as the USB-Blaster, MasterBlaster (VIO pin), ByteBlaster II, ByteBlasterMV, or
EthernetBlaster cables. The voltage supply can be connected to the VCCPD of the device.
(2) Connect the nCONFIG, MSEL[2..0] pins to support a non-JTAG configuration scheme. If you only use JTAG configuration, connect nCONFIG
to VC CPGM , and MSEL[2..0] to ground. Pull DCLK either high or low, whichever is convenient on your board.
(3) Pin 6 of the header is a VIO reference voltage for the MasterBlaster output driver. V IO should match the device's VC CP D . Refer to the MasterBlaster
Serial/USB Communications Cable Data Sheet for this value. In the USB-Blaster, ByteBlaster II, ByteBlasterMV, and EthernetBlaster, this pin is a
no connect.
(5) Pull-up resistor values can vary from 1 kΩ to 10 kΩ.
You must connect the nCE pin to GND or drive it low during JTAG configuration. In
multi-device FPP, AS, and PS configuration chains, the first device's nCE pin is
connected to GND while its nCEO pin is connected to nCE of the next device in the
chain. The last device's nCE input comes from the previous device, while its nCEO pin
is left floating. In addition, the CONF_DONE and nSTATUS signals are all shared in
multi-device FPP, AS, or PS configuration chains so the devices can enter user mode at
the same time after configuration is complete. When the CONF_DONE and nSTATUS
signals are shared among all the devices, you must configure every device when JTAG
configuration is performed.
If you only use JTAG configuration, Altera recommends that you connect the circuitry
as shown in Figure 11–20, where each of the CONF_DONE and nSTATUS signals are
isolated, so that each device can enter user mode individually.
After the first device completes configuration in a multi-device configuration chain,
its nCEO pin drives low to activate the second device's nCE pin, which prompts the
second device to begin configuration. Therefore, if these devices are also in a JTAG
chain, make sure the nCE pins are connected to GND during JTAG configuration or
that the devices are JTAG configured in the same order as the configuration chain. As
long as the devices are JTAG configured in the same order as the multi-device
configuration chain, the nCEO of the previous device will drive the nCE of the next
device low when it has successfully been JTAG configured.

JTAG Configuration
You can place other Altera devices that have JTAG support in the same JTAG chain for
device programming and configuration.

devices to be cascaded in a JTAG chain.

You can configure Stratix III devices using multiple configuration schemes on the
same board. Combining JTAG configuration with passive serial (PS) or active serial
(AS) configuration on your board is useful in the prototyping environment because it
allows multiple methods to configure your FPGA.

schemes, refer to the Combining Different Configuration Schemes chapter in the

Dedicated power pin. Use this pin to power all dedicated
configuration inputs, dedicated configuration outputs,
dedicated configuration bi-direction pins, and some of
the dual functional pins that are used for configuration.
You must connect this pin to 1.8-V, 2.5-V, 3.0-V, or
VCCPGM N/A All Power 3.3-V. VC CP GM must ramp-up from 0-V to 3.3-V within 100
ms. If VC CP GM is not ramped up within this specified time,
your Stratix III device will not configure successfully. If
your system does not allow for a VCCPGM ramp-up
time of 100 ms or less, you must hold nCONFIG low
until all power supplies are stable.
Dedicated power pin. Use this pin to power the I/O
pre-drivers, the JTAG input and output pins, and the
design security circuitry.
You must connect this pin to 2.5-V, 3.0-V, or 3.3-V
depending on the I/O standards selected. For 3.3-V I/O
standards, VCCPD=3.3-V, for 3.0-V I/O standards, VCC PD
VCCPD N/A All Power = 3.0 V, for 2.5-V or below I/O standards, VC CP D = 2.5 V.
VC CP D must ramp-up from 0-V to 2.5-V / 3.0-V/3.3-V
within 100 ms. If VCC PD is not ramped up within this
specified time, your Stratix III device will not configure
successfully. If your system does not allow for a VC CPD
ramp-up time of 100 ms or less, you must hold
nCONFIG low until all power supplies are stable.
Dedicated input which selects either a POR time of 12
ms or 100 ms. A logic high (1.8 V, 2.5 V, 3.0 V, 3.3 V)
selects a POR time of approximately 12 ms and a logic
low selects a POR time of approximately 100 ms.
PORSEL N/A All Input
The PORSEL input buffer is powered by VCCPGM and
has an internal 5-kΩ pull-down resistor that is always
active. You should tie the PORSEL pin directly to
VCCPGM or GND.

Configuration
Scheme
Dedicated input that chooses whether the internal
pull-up resistor on the user I/O pins and dual-purpose
I/O pins (nCSO, nASDO, DATA[7..0], nWS, nRS,
RDYnBSY, nCS, CLKUSR, INIT_DONE) are on or off
before and during configuration. A logic high (1.8 V, 2.5
V, 3.0 V, 3.3 V) turns off the weak internal pull-up
nIO_PULLUP N/A All Input resistors, while a logic low turns them on.
The nIO-PULLUP input buffer is powered by VCCPGM
and has an internal 5-kΩ pull-down resistor that is
always active. You can tie the nIO-PULLUP directly to
VCCPGM or use a 1-kΩ pull-up resistor or tie it directly
to GND.
3-bit configuration input that sets the Stratix III device
configuration scheme. Refer to Table 11–1 for the
appropriate connections.
MSEL[2..0] N/A All Input
You must hard-wire these pins to VCCPGM or GND.
The MSEL[2..0] pins have internal 5-kΩ pull-down
resistors that are always active.
Configuration control input. Pulling this pin low during
user-mode will cause the device to lose its configuration
data, enter a reset state, and tri-state all I/O pins.
Returning this pin to a logic high level will initiate a
nCONFIG N/A All Input reconfiguration.
Configuration is possible only if this pin is high, except
in JTAG programming mode when nCONFIG is
ignored.

Configuration
Scheme
The device drives nSTATUS low immediately after
power-up and releases it after the POR time.
During user mode and regular configuration, this pin is
pulled high by an external 10-kΩ resistor.
This pin, when driven low by Stratix III, indicates that
the device is being initialized and has encountered an
error during configuration.
Status output. If an error occurs during configuration,
nSTATUS is pulled low by the target device.
Status input. If an external source drives the nSTATUS
pin low during configuration or initialization, the target
device enters an error state.
Bi-directional Driving nSTATUS low after configuration and
nSTATUS N/A All
open-drain initialization does not affect the configured device. If you
use a configuration device, driving nSTATUS low will
cause the configuration device to attempt to configure
the device, but since the device ignores transitions on
nSTATUS in user-mode, the device does not
reconfigure. To initiate a reconfiguration, nCONFIG
must be pulled low.
If you have enabled the Auto-restart configuration after
error option, the nSTATUS pin transitions from high to
low and back again to high when a configuration error is
detected. This appears as a low pulse at the nSTATUS
pin with a minimum pulse width of 10 μs to a maximum
pulse width of 500 μs, as defined in the tSTATUS
specification.
If VCC PGM and VC CIO are not fully powered up, the following
could occur:
■ VCC PGM and VC CIO are powered high enough for the
nSTATUS buffer to function properly, and
nSTATUS is driven low. When VC CPGM and VC CIO are
ramped up, POR trips and nSTATUS is released after
POR expires.
nSTATUS ■ VCC PGM and VC CIO are not powered high enough for the
— — — nSTATUS buffer to function properly. In this
(continued)
situation, nSTATUS might appear logic high,
triggering a configuration attempt that would fail
because POR did not yet trip. When VCC PD and VC CIO are
powered up, nSTATUS is pulled low because POR
did not yet trip. When POR trips after VCC PGM and VC CIO
are powered up, nSTATUS is released and pulled
high. At that point, reconfiguration is triggered and
the device is configured.

Scheme
Status output. The target device drives the CONF_DONE
pin low before and during configuration. After all

Table 11–15 describes the optional configuration pins. If these optional configuration
pins are not enabled in the Quartus II software, they are available as general-purpose
user I/O pins. Therefore, during configuration, these pins function as user I/O pins
and are tri-stated with weak pull-up resistors.

12. Remote System Upgrades with
Stratix III Devices
SIII51012-1.5
This chapter describes the functionality and implementation of the dedicated remote
system upgrade circuitry. It also defines several concepts related to remote system
upgrade, including factory configuration, application configuration, remote update
mode, and user watchdog timer. Additionally, this chapter provides design guidelines
for implementing remote system upgrades with the supported configuration
schemes.
System designers sometimes face challenges such as shortened design cycles,
evolving standards, and system deployments in remote locations. Stratix® III devices
help overcome these challenges with their inherent re-programmability and dedicated
circuitry to perform remote system upgrades. Remote system upgrades help deliver
feature enhancements and bug fixes without costly recalls, reduce time-to-market,
and extend product life.
Stratix III devices feature dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry. Soft logic (either
the Nios® II embedded processor or user logic) implemented in a Stratix III device can
download a new configuration image from a remote location, store it in configuration
memory, and direct the dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry to initiate a
reconfiguration cycle. The dedicated circuitry performs error detection during and
after the configuration process, recovers from any error condition by reverting back to
a safe configuration image, and provides error status information. This dedicated
remote system upgrade circuitry is unique to the Stratix series and helps to avoid
system downtime.
Remote system upgrade is supported in fast active serial (FAS) Stratix III
configuration schemes. You can also implement remote system upgrade in
conjunction with advanced Stratix III features such as real-time decompression of
configuration data and design security using the advanced encryption standard (AES)
for secure and efficient field upgrades.
Functional Description
The dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry in Stratix III devices manage remote
configuration and provides error detection, recovery, and status information. User
logic or a Nios II processor implemented in the Stratix III device logic array provides
access to the remote configuration data source and an interface to the system's
configuration memory.
Stratix III devices have remote system upgrade processes that involves the following
steps:
1. A Nios II processor (or user logic) implemented in the Stratix III device logic array
receives new configuration data from a remote location. The connection to the
remote source uses a communication protocol such as the transmission control
protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP), peripheral component interconnect (PCI),
user datagram protocol (UDP), universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter
(UART), or a proprietary interface.
2. The Nios II processor (or user logic) stores this new configuration data in
non-volatile configuration memory.

12–2 Chapter 12: Remote System Upgrades with Stratix III Devices
3. The Nios II processor (or user logic) initiates a reconfiguration cycle with the new
or updated configuration data.
4. The dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry detects and recovers from any
error(s) that might occur during or after the reconfiguration cycle, and provides
error status information to the user design.
Figure 12–1 shows the steps required for performing remote configuration updates.

Quartus® II software and insert the ALTREMOTE_UPDATE megafunction to access
the circuitry. Refer to “ALTREMOTE_UPDATE Megafunction” on page 12–13 for
more information.
Enabling Remote Update

You can enable remote update for Stratix III devices in the Quartus II software before
design compilation (in the Compiler Settings menu). To enable remote update in the
project’s compiler settings, perform the following steps in the Quartus II software:
1. On the Assignment menu, click Device. The Settings dialog box appears.
2. Click Device and Pin Options. The Device and Pin Options dialog box appears.
3. Click the Configuration tab.
4. From the Configuration scheme list, select Active Serial (can use Configuration
Device) (Figure 12–3).
5. From the Configuration Mode list, select Remote. (Figure 12–3).
6. Click OK.
7. In the Setting dialog box, click OK.

Figure 12–3. Enabling Remote Update for Stratix III Devices in Compiler Settings
Configuration Image Types

When using a remote system upgrade, Stratix III device configuration bitstreams are
classified as factory configuration images or application configuration images. An
image, also referred to as a configuration, is a design loaded into the Stratix III device
that performs certain user-defined functions.
Each Stratix III device in your system requires one factory configuration image or the
addition of one or more application configuration images. The factory configuration
image is a user-defined fall-back, or safe configuration, and is responsible for
administering remote updates in conjunction with the dedicated circuitry. Application
configuration images implement user-defined functionality in the target Stratix III
device. You may include the default application configuration image functionality in
the factory configuration image.
A remote system upgrade involves storing a new application configuration image or
updating an existing one through the remote communication interface. After an
application configuration image is stored or updated remotely, the user design in the
Stratix III device initiates a reconfiguration cycle with the new image. Any errors
during or after this cycle are detected by the dedicated remote system upgrade
circuitry and cause the device to automatically revert to the factory configuration
image. The factory configuration image then performs error processing and recovery.
The factory configuration is written to the serial configuration device only once by the
system manufacturer and should not be remotely updated. On the other hand,
application configurations may be remotely updated in the system. Both images can
initiate system reconfiguration.

Remote System Upgrade Mode

Remote system upgrade has one mode of operation: remote update mode. The remote
update mode allows you to determine the functionality of your system upon
power-up and offers different features.
In remote update mode, Stratix III devices load the factory configuration image upon
power up. The user-defined factory configuration determines which application
configuration is to be loaded and triggers a reconfiguration cycle. The factory
configuration may also contain application logics.
When used with serial configuration devices, the remote update mode allows an
application configuration to start at any flash sector boundary. This translates to a
maximum of 128 pages in the EPCS64 device and 32 pages in the EPCS16 device,
where the minimum size of each page is 512 KBits. Additionally, the remote update
mode features a user watchdog timer that determines the validity of an application
configuration.
Remote Update Mode

When a Stratix III device is first powered-up in remote update mode, it loads the
factory configuration located at page zero (page registers PGM[23:0] = 24'b0). You
should always store the factory configuration image for your system at page address
zero. This corresponds to the start address location 0×000000 in the serial
configuration device.
The factory configuration image is user-designed and contains soft logic to do the
following:
■ Process any errors based on status information from the dedicated remote system
upgrade circuitry
■ Communicate with the remote host and receive new application configurations
and store this new configuration data in the local non-volatile memory device
■ Determine which application configuration is to be loaded into the Stratix III
device
■ Enable or disable the user watchdog timer and load its time-out value (optional)
■ Instruct the dedicated remote system upgrade circuitry to initiate a
reconfiguration cycle
Figure 12–4 shows the transitions between the factory and application configurations
in remote update mode.

Configuration Error
After power up or a configuration error, the factory configuration logic is loaded

automatically. The factory configuration also needs to specify whether to enable the
user watchdog timer for the application configuration and if enabled, to include the
timer setting information as well.
The user watchdog timer ensures that the application configuration is valid and
functional. The timer must be continually reset within a specific amount of time
during user mode operation of an application configuration. Only valid application
configurations contain the logic to reset the timer in user mode. This timer reset logic
should be part of a user-designed hardware and/or software health monitoring signal
that indicates error-free system operation. If the timer is not reset in a specific amount
of time, for example, the user application configuration detects a functional problem
or if the system hangs, the dedicated circuitry updates the remote system upgrade
status register, triggering the loading of the factory configuration.
1 The user watchdog timer is automatically disabled for factory configurations. For
more information about the user watchdog timer, refer to “User Watchdog Timer” on
page 12–11.
If there is an error while loading the application configuration, the cause of the
reconfiguration is written by the dedicated circuitry to the remote system upgrade
status register. Actions that cause the remote system upgrade status register to be
written:
■ nSTATUS driven low externally
■ Internal CRC error
■ User watchdog timer time out

Dedicated Remote System Upgrade Circuitry
■ A configuration reset (logic array nCONFIG signal or external nCONFIG pin

assertion to low)
Stratix III devices automatically load the factory configuration located at page address
zero. This user-designed factory configuration reads the remote system upgrade
status register to determine the reason for the reconfiguration. The factory
configuration then takes appropriate error recovery steps and writes to the remote
system upgrade control register to determine the next application configuration to be
loaded.
When Stratix III devices successfully load the application configuration, they enter
into user mode. In user mode, the soft logic (Nios II processor or state machine and
the remote communication interface) assists the Stratix III device in determining
when a remote system update is arriving. When a remote system update arrives, the
soft logic receives the incoming data, writes it to the configuration memory device,
and triggers the device to load the factory configuration. The factory configuration
reads the remote system upgrade status register and control register, determines the
valid application configuration to load, writes the remote system upgrade control
register accordingly, and initiates system reconfiguration.

This section explains the implementation of the Stratix III remote system upgrade
dedicated circuitry. The remote system upgrade circuitry is implemented in hard
logic. This dedicated circuitry interfaces to the user-defined factory and application
configurations implemented in the Stratix III device logic array to provide the
complete remote configuration solution. The remote system upgrade circuitry
contains the remote system upgrade registers, a watchdog timer, and a state machine
that controls those components. Figure 12–5 shows the remote system upgrade block's
data path.

ALTREMOTE_MUPDATE Megafunction User Guide.
Remote System Upgrade Registers

The remote system upgrade block contains a series of registers that store the page
addresses, watchdog timer settings, and status information. These registers are
detailed in Table 12–2.
Table 12–2. Remote System Upgrade Registers (Part 1 of 2)

Register Description
Accessible by the logic array and allows the update, status, and control registers to be written and
Shift register sampled by user logic. Write access is enabled in remote update mode for factory configurations to allow
writes to the update register.
Contains the current page address, the user watchdog timer settings, and one bit specifying whether the
current configuration is a factory configuration or an application configuration. During a read operation of
Control register
an application configuration, this register is read into the shift register. When a reconfiguration cycle is
initiated, the contents of the update register are written into the control register.

Table 12–2. Remote System Upgrade Registers (Part 2 of 2)

Contains data similar to that in the control register. However, it can only be updated by the factory
configuration by shifting data into the shift register and issuing an update operation. When a
Update register reconfiguration cycle is triggered by the factory configuration, the control register is updated with the
contents of the update register. During a capture in a factory configuration, this register is read into the
shift register.
Written to by the remote system upgrade circuitry on every reconfiguration to record the cause of the
Status register reconfiguration. This information is used by the factory configuration to determine the appropriate action
following a reconfiguration. During a capture cycle, this register is read into the shift register.
The remote system upgrade control and status registers are clocked by the 10-MHz
internal oscillator (the same oscillator that controls the user watchdog timer).
However, the remote system upgrade shift and update registers are clocked by the
user clock input (RU_CLK).
Remote System Upgrade Control Register

The remote system upgrade control register stores the application configuration page
address and user watchdog timer settings. The control register functionality depends
on the remote system upgrade mode selection. In remote update mode, the control
register page address bits are set to all zeros (24'b0 = 0×000000) at power up in
order to load the factory configuration. A factory configuration in remote update
mode has write access to this register.
The control register bit positions are shown in Figure 12–6 and defined in Table 12–3.
In the figure, the numbers show the bit position of a setting within a register. For
example, bit number 8 is the enable bit for the watchdog timer.

Wd_timer[11..0] Wd_en PGM[23..0] AnF
The application-not-factory (AnF) bit indicates whether the current configuration

loaded in the Stratix III device is the factory configuration or an application
configuration. This bit is set low by the remote system upgrade circuitry when an
error condition causes a fall-back to the factory configuration. When the AnF bit is
high, the control register access is limited to read operations. When the AnF bit is low,
the register allows write operations and disables the watchdog timer.
In remote update mode, factory configuration design sets this bit high (1'b1) when
updating the contents of the update register with the application page address and
watchdog timer settings.

(2) This is the default value of the control register bit.
Remote System Upgrade Status Register

The remote system upgrade status register specifies the reconfiguration trigger
condition. The various trigger and error conditions include in the following:
■ Cyclic redundancy check (CRC) error during application configuration
■ nSTATUS assertion by an external device due to an error
■ Stratix III device logic array triggers a reconfiguration cycle, possibly after
downloading a new application configuration image
■ External configuration reset (nCONFIG) assertion
■ User watchdog timer time out
Figure 12–7 and Table 12–4 specify the contents of the status register. The numbers in
the figure show the bit positions within a 5-bit register.

This occurs after the factory configuration specifies the appropriate application configuration page address by
updating the update register.

Remote System Upgrade State Machine

The remote system upgrade control and update registers have identical bit
definitions, but serve different roles (refer to Table 12–2). While both registers can only
be updated when the device is loaded with a factory configuration image, the update
register writes are controlled by the user logic; the control register writes are
controlled by the remote system upgrade state machine.
In factory configurations, the user logic sends the AnF bit (set high), the page address,
and the watchdog timer settings for the next application configuration bit to the
update register. When the logic array configuration reset (RU_nCONFIG) goes high,
the remote system upgrade state machine updates the control register with the
contents of the update register and initiates system reconfiguration from the new
application page.
1 To ensure the successful reconfiguration between the pages, assert RU_nCONFIG

signal for a minimum of 250 ns. This is equivalent to strobing the reconfig input of
the ALTREMOTE_UPDATE megafunction high for a minimum of 250 ns.
In the event of an error or reconfiguration trigger condition, the remote system

upgrade state machine directs the system to load a factory or application
configuration (page zero or page one, based on the mode and error condition) by
setting the control register accordingly. Table 12–5 lists the contents of the control
register after such an event occurs for all possible error or trigger conditions.
The remote system upgrade status register is updated by the dedicated error
monitoring circuitry after an error condition but before the factory configuration is
loaded.
Table 12–5. Control Register Contents After an Error or Reconfiguration Trigger Condition
Control Register Setting
Reconfiguration Error/Trigger
Remote Update
nCONFIG reset All bits are 0
nSTATUS error All bits are 0
CORE triggered reconfiguration Update register
CRC error All bits are 0
Wd time out All bits are 0
Capture operations during factory configuration access the contents of the update
register. This feature is used by the user logic to verify that the page address and
watchdog timer settings were written correctly. Read operations in application
configurations access the contents of the control register. This information is used by
the user logic in the application configuration.
User Watchdog Timer

The user watchdog timer prevents a faulty application configuration from stalling the
device indefinitely. The system uses the timer to detect functional errors after an
application configuration is successfully loaded into the Stratix III device.

Quartus II Software Support
The user watchdog timer is a counter that counts down from the initial value loaded
into the remote system upgrade control register by the factory configuration. The
counter is 29-bits wide and has a maximum count value of 229. When specifying the
user watchdog timer value, specify only the most significant 12 bits. The granularity
of the timer setting is 2 15 cycles. The cycle time is based on the frequency of the
10-MHz internal oscillator. Table 12–6 specifies the operating range of the 10-MHz
internal oscillator.
Table 12–6. 10-MHz Internal Oscillator Specifications

Minimum Typical Maximum Unit
5 6.5 10 MHz
The user watchdog timer begins counting once the application configuration enters
device user mode. This timer must be periodically reloaded or reset by the application
configuration before the timer expires by asserting RU_nRSTIMER. If the application
configuration does not reload the user watchdog timer before the count expires, a
time-out signal is generated by the remote system upgrade dedicated circuitry. The
time-out signal tells the remote system upgrade circuitry to set the user watchdog
timer status bit (Wd) in the remote system upgrade status register and reconfigures the
device by loading the factory configuration.
1 To allow remote system upgrade dedicated circuitry to reset the watchdog timer, you
must assert the RU_nRSTIMER signal active for a minimum of 250 ns. This is
equivalent to strobing the reset_timer input of the ALTREMOTE_UPDATE
megafunction high for a minimum of 250 ns.
The user watchdog timer is disabled during the configuration cycle of the device.
Errors during configuration are detected by the CRC engine. Also, the timer is
disabled for factory configurations. Functional errors should not exist in the factory
configuration since it is stored and validated during production and is never updated
remotely.
1 The user watchdog timer is disabled in factory configurations and during the
configuration cycle of the application configuration. It is enabled after the application
configuration enters user mode. If you do not wish to use the user watchdog timer
feature during application configuration user mode operation, turn this feature off by
setting Wd_en bit to 1’b0 in the update register during factory configuration user
mode operation.

The Quartus II software provides the flexibility to include the remote system upgrade
interface between the Stratix III device logic array and the dedicated circuitry,
generate configuration files for productions, and remote programming of the system
configuration memory.
The implementation of the ALTREMOTE_UPDATE megafunction option in the
Quartus II software is for the interface between the remote system upgrade circuitry
and the device logic array interface. Using the megafunction block instead of creating
your own logic saves design time and offers more efficient logic synthesis and device
implementation.

ALTREMOTE_UPDATE Megafunction
The ALTREMOTE_UPDATE megafunction provides a memory-like interface to the
remote system upgrade circuitry and handles the shift register read/write protocol in
Stratix III device logic. This implementation is suitable for designs that implement the
factory configuration functions using a Nios II processor or user logic in the device.
Figure 12–8 shows the interface signals between the ALTREMOTE_UPDATE
megafunction and Nios II processor / user logic.

13. IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary-Scan
Testing in Stratix III Devices
SIII51013-1.9
This chapter discusses how to use the IEEE Std. 1149.1 boundary-scan test (BST)
circuitry in Stratix® III devices. The BST architecture offers the capability to test
efficiently components on PCBs with tight lead spacing. BST architecture tests pin
connections without using physical test probes and captures functional data while a
device is operating normally. Boundary-scan cells in a device can force signals onto
pins or capture data from pin or logic array signals. Forced test data is serially shifted
into the boundary-scan cells. Captured data is serially shifted out and externally
compared to expected results. Figure 13–1 shows the concept of BST.

In addition to BST, you can use the IEEE Std. 1149.1 controller for Stratix III device
in-circuit reconfiguration (ICR). However, this chapter only discusses the BST feature
of the IEEE Std. 1149.1 circuitry.
f For information about configuring Stratix III devices by using the IEEE Std. 1149.1
circuitry, refer to the Configuring Stratix III Devices, Hot Socketing and Power-On Reset in
Stratix III Devices, and the Remote System Upgrades with Stratix III Devices chapters.
IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Architecture

A Stratix III device operating in IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST mode uses four required pins,
TDI, TDO, TMS, and TCK, and one optional pin, TRST. The TCK pin has an internal
weak pull-down resistor; the TDI, TMS, and TRST pins have weak internal pull-ups.
The TDO output pin and all of the JTAG input pins are powered by the
2.5-V/3.0-V/3.3-V VCCPD supply of I/O Bank 1A. All user I/O pins are tri-stated
during JTAG configuration.
f For recommendations about how to connect a JTAG chain with multiple voltages
across the devices in the chain, refer to “I/O Voltage Support in JTAG Chain” on
page 13–17.

Pin Description Function
Serial input pin for instructions as well as test and programming data. Signal applied
TDI Test data input to TDI is expected to change state at the falling edge of TCK. Data is shifted in on
the rising edge of TCK.
TDO Test data output shifted out on the falling edge of TCK. The pin is tri-stated if data is not being shifted
out of the device.

access port (TAP) controller state machine. Transitions within the state machine
TMS Test mode select occur at the rising edge of TCK. Therefore, you must set up TMS before the rising
edge of TCK. TMS is evaluated on the rising edge of TCK. During non-JTAG
operation, Altera recommends you drive TMS high.
The clock input to the BST circuitry. Some operations occur at the rising edge, while
TCK Test clock input
others occur at the falling edge.
Test reset input Active-low input to asynchronously reset the boundary-scan circuit. For non-JTAG
TRST (1)
(optional) users, you should permanently tie the pin to GND.
(1) The minimum TRST pulse width to reset the JTAG TAP controller is 60 ns.
The IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST circuitry requires the following registers:
■ The instruction register determines the action to be performed and the data
register to be accessed.
■ The bypass register is a one-bit-long data register that provides a minimum-length
serial path between TDI and TDO.
■ The boundary-scan register is a shift register composed of all the boundary-scan
cells of the device.

IEEE Std. 1149.1 boundary-scan testing is controlled by a TAP controller. For more
information about the TAP controller, refer to “IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Operation
Control” on page 13–7. The TMS and TCK pins operate the TAP controller. The TDI
and TDO pins provide the serial path for the data registers. The TDI pin also provides
data to the instruction register, which then generates control logic for the data
registers.

IEEE Std. 1149.1 Boundary-Scan Register

The boundary-scan register is a large serial shift register that uses the TDI pin as an
input and the TDO pin as an output. The boundary-scan register consists of three-bit
peripheral elements that are associated with Stratix III I/O pins. You can use the
boundary-scan register to test external pin connections or to capture internal data.
f For the Stratix III family device boundary-scan register lengths, refer to the
Configuring Stratix III Devices chapter in volume 1 of the Stratix III Device Handbook.
Figure 13–3 shows how test data is serially shifted around the periphery of the IEEE
Std. 1149.1 device.

Boundary-Scan Cells of a Stratix III Device I/O Pin

The Stratix III device three-bit boundary-scan cell (BSC) consists of a set of capture
registers and a set of update registers. The capture registers can connect to internal
device data through the OUTJ, OEJ, and PIN_IN signals, while the update registers
connect to external data through the PIN_OUT and PIN_OE signals.
The global control signals for the IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST registers (such as shift,
clock, and update) are generated internally by the TAP controller. The MODE signal
is generated by a decode of the instruction register. The HIGHZ signal is high when
executing the HIGHZ instruction. The data signal path for the boundary-scan register
runs from the serial data in (SDI) signal to the serial data out (SDO) signal. The scan
register begins at the TDI pin and ends at the TDO pin of the device.
Figure 13–4 shows the Stratix III device's user I/O boundary-scan cell.

The IEEE Std. 1149.1 TAP controller, a 16-state machine clocked on the rising edge of
TCK, uses the TMS pin to control IEEE Std. 1149.1 operation in the device. Figure 13–5
shows the TAP controller state machine.

When the TAP controller is in the TEST_LOGIC/RESET state, the BST circuitry is
disabled, the device is in normal operation, and the instruction register is initialized
with IDCODE as the initial instruction. At device power-up, the TAP controller starts
in this TEST_LOGIC/RESET state. In addition, forcing the TAP controller to the
TEST_LOGIC/RESET state is achieved by holding TMS high for five TCK clock cycles,
or by holding the TRST pin low. In the TEST_LOGIC/RESET state, the TAP controller
remains in this state as long as TMS is held high (while TCK is clocked) or TRST is held
low. Figure 13–6 shows the timing requirements for the IEEE Std. 1149.1 signals.

To start IEEE Std. 1149.1 operation, select an instruction mode by advancing the TAP
controller to the shift instruction register (SHIFT_IR) state and shift in the
appropriate instruction code on the TDI pin. The waveform diagram in Figure 13–7
shows the entry of the instruction code into the instruction register. It also shows the
values of TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO, and the states of the TAP controller. From the RESET
state, TMS is clocked with the pattern 01100 to advance the TAP controller to
SHIFT_IR.

The TDO pin is tri-stated in all states except in the SHIFT_IR and SHIFT_DR states.
The TDO pin is activated at the first falling edge of TCK after entering either of the shift
states and is tri-stated at the first falling edge of TCK after leaving either of the shift
states.
When the SHIFT_IR state is activated, TDO is no longer tri-stated, and the initial state
of the instruction register is shifted out on the falling edge of TCK. TDO continues to
shift out the contents of the instruction register as long as the SHIFT_IR state is
active. The TAP controller remains in the SHIFT_IR state as long as TMS remains low.

During the SHIFT_IR state, an instruction code is entered by shifting data on the TDI
pin on the rising edge of TCK. The last bit of the instruction code is clocked at the same
time that the next state, EXIT1_IR, is activated. Set TMS high to activate the
EXIT1_IR state. After the EXIT1_IR state is activated, TDO becomes tri-stated again.
TDO is always tri-stated except in the SHIFT_IR and SHIFT_DR states. After an
instruction code is entered correctly, the TAP controller advances to serially shift test
data in one of three modes.
The three serially shift test data instruction modes are discussed in the following
sections:
■ “SAMPLE/PRELOAD Instruction Mode” on page 13–11
■ “EXTEST Instruction Mode” on page 13–13
■ “BYPASS Instruction Mode” on page 13–15

SAMPLE/PRELOAD Instruction Mode

The SAMPLE/PRELOAD instruction mode allows you to take a snapshot of device data
without interrupting normal device operation. However, this instruction is most often
used to preload the test data into the update registers prior to loading the EXTEST
instruction. Figure 13–8 shows the capture, shift, and update phases of the
SAMPLE/PRELOAD mode.

During the capture phase, multiplexers preceding the capture registers select the
active device data signals. This data is then clocked into the capture registers. The
multiplexers at the outputs of the update registers also select active device data to
prevent functional interruptions to the device. During the shift phase, the
boundary-scan shift register is formed by clocking data through the capture registers
around the device periphery and then out of the TDO pin. The device can
simultaneously shift new test data into TDI and replace the contents of the capture
registers. During the update phase, data in the capture registers is transferred to the
update registers. You can then use this data in the EXTEST instruction mode. Refer to
“EXTEST Instruction Mode” on page 13–13 for more information.
Figure 13–9 shows the SAMPLE/PRELOAD waveforms. The SAMPLE/PRELOAD
instruction code is shifted in through the TDI pin. The TAP controller advances to the
CAPTURE_DR state and then to the SHIFT_DR state, where it remains if TMS is held
low. The data that was present in the capture registers after the capture phase is
shifted out of the TDO pin. New test data shifted into the TDI pin appears at the TDO
pin after being clocked through the entire boundary-scan register. If TMS is held high
on two consecutive TCK clock cycles, the TAP controller advances to the UPDATE_DR
state for the update phase.

EXTEST Instruction Mode

Use the EXTEST instruction mode primarily to check external pin connections
between devices. Unlike the SAMPLE/PRELOAD mode, EXTEST allows test data to be
forced onto the pin signals. By forcing known logic high and low levels on output
pins, you can detect opens and shorts at pins of any device in the scan chain.

EXTEST mode selects data differently than SAMPLE/PRELOAD mode. EXTEST chooses
data from the update registers as the source of the output and output-enable signals.
After the EXTEST instruction code is entered, the multiplexers select the update
register data. Therefore, data stored in these registers from a previous EXTEST or
SAMPLE/PRELOAD test cycle can be forced onto the pin signals. In the capture phase,
the results of this test data are stored in the capture registers and then shifted out of
TDO during the shift phase. You can then store new test data in the update registers
during the update phase.
The EXTEST waveform diagram in Figure 13–11 resembles the SAMPLE/PRELOAD
waveform diagram, except for the instruction code. The data shifted out of TDO
consists of the data that was present in the capture registers after the capture phase.
New test data shifted into the TDI pin appears at the TDO pin after being clocked

BYPASS Instruction Mode

The BYPASS mode is activated when an instruction code of all ones is loaded in the
instruction register. This mode allows the boundary scan data to pass the selected
device synchronously to adjacent devices when no test operation of the device is
needed at the board level. The waveforms in Figure 13–12 show how scan data passes
through a device after the TAP controller is in the SHIFT_DR state. In this state, data
signals are clocked into the bypass register from TDI on the rising edge of TCK and
out of TDO on the falling edge of the same clock pulse.

IDCODE Instruction Mode

Use the IDCODE instruction mode to identify the devices in an IEEE Std. 1149.1 chain.
When IDCODE is selected, the device identification register is loaded with the 32-bit
vendor-defined identification code. The device ID register is connected between the
TDI and TDO ports, and the device IDCODE is shifted out. Table 13–5 lists the IDCODE
information for Stratix III devices.

(1) The most significant bit (MSB) is on the left.
(2) The IDCODE’s least significant bit (LSB) is always 1.
USERCODE Instruction Mode

Use the USERCODE instruction mode to examine the user electronic signature (UES)
within the devices along an IEEE Std. 1149.1 chain. When you select this instruction,
the device identification register is connected between the TDI and TDO ports. The
user-defined UES is shifted into the device ID register in parallel from the 32-bit
USERCODE register. The UES is then shifted out through the device ID register.
1 The UES value is not user defined until after the device is configured. This value is
stored in the programmer object file (.pof) and only loaded to the device during
configuration. Before configuration, the UES value is set to the default value.
CLAMP Instruction Mode

Use the CLAMP instruction mode to allow the state of the signals driven from the pins
to be determined from the boundary-scan register while the bypass register is selected
as the serial path between the TDI and TDO ports. The states of all signals driven from
the pins are completely defined by the data held in the boundary-scan register.

I/O Voltage Support in JTAG Chain
HIGHZ Instruction Mode

The HIGHZ instruction mode sets all of the user I/O pins to an inactive drive state.
These pins are tri-stated until a new JTAG instruction is executed. When this
instruction is loaded into the instruction register, the bypass register is connected
between the TDI and TDO ports.
I/O Voltage Support in JTAG Chain

The JTAG chain supports several devices. However, you should use caution if the
chain contains devices that have different VCCIO levels. The output voltage level of the
TDO pin must meet the specifications of the TDI pin it drives. The TDI and TDO pins of
Stratix III device are powered by the VCCPD (2.5 V / 3.0 V / 3.3 V) of I/O Bank 1A. You
should connect V CCPD according to the I/O standard used in the same bank. For 3.3-V
I/O standards, you should connect VCCPD to 3.3 V. For 3.0-V I/O standards, you should
connect VCCPD to 3.0 V; for 2.5-V and below I/O standards, you should connect VCCPD to
2.5 V. Table 13–6 lists board design recommendations to ensure proper JTAG chain
operation.

You can interface the TDI and TDO lines of the devices that have different VCCIO levels
by inserting a level shifter between the devices. If possible, you should build the JTAG
chain in such a way that a device with a higher VCCIO level drives to a device with an
equal or lower V CCIO level. This way, a level shifter is used only to shift the TDO level to
a level acceptable to the JTAG tester. Figure 13–13 shows the JTAG chain of mixed
voltages and how a level shifter is inserted in the chain.

IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Circuitry

Stratix III devices have dedicated JTAG pins and the IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST circuitry is
enabled upon device power-up. You can perform BST on Stratix III FPGAs before,
during, and after configuration. Stratix III FPGAs support the BYPASS, IDCODE, and
SAMPLE instructions during configuration without interrupting configuration. To
send all other JTAG instructions, you must interrupt configuration using the
CONFIG_IO instruction.
The CONFIG_IO instruction allows you to configure I/O buffers through the JTAG
port, and when issued, interrupts configuration. This instruction allows you to
perform board-level testing prior to configuring the Stratix III FPGA or you can wait
for the configuration device to complete configuration. After configuration is
interrupted and JTAG BST is complete, you must reconfigure the part through JTAG
(PULSE_CONFIG instruction) or by pulsing nCONFIG low.
1 When you perform JTAG boundary-scan testing before configuration, the nCONFIG
pin must be held low.
The chip-wide reset (DEV_CLRn) and chip-wide output enable (DEV_OE) pins on
Stratix III devices do not affect JTAG boundary-scan or configuration operations.
Toggling these pins does not disrupt BST operation (other than the expected BST
behavior).
When you design a board for JTAG configuration of Stratix III devices, you must
consider the connections for the dedicated configuration pins.
f For more information about using the IEEE Std.1149.1 circuitry for device
configuration, refer to the Configuring Stratix III Devices chapter in volume 1 of the
Stratix III Device Handbook.

IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Circuitry (Disabling)
IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Circuitry (Disabling)

The IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST circuitry for Stratix III devices is enabled upon device
power-up. Because the IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST circuitry is used for BST or in-circuit
reconfiguration, you must enable the circuitry only at specific times as mentioned in,
“IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Circuitry” on page 13–18.
1 If you are not using the IEEE Std. 1149.1 circuitry in Stratix III, you should
permanently disable the circuitry to ensure that you do not inadvertently enable it
when it is not required.
Table 13–7 lists the pin connections necessary for disabling the IEEE Std. 1149.1
circuitry in Stratix III devices.

IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST Guidelines

Use the following guidelines when performing boundary-scan testing with IEEE Std.
1149.1 devices:
■ If the “10...” pattern does not shift out of the instruction register through the TDO
pin during the first clock cycle of the SHIFT_IR state, the TAP controller did not
reach the proper state. To solve this problem, try one of the following procedures:
■ Verify that the TAP controller has reached the SHIFT_IR state correctly. To
advance the TAP controller to the SHIFT_IR state, return to the RESET state
and send the code 01100 to the TMS pin.
■ Check the connections to the VCC, GND, JTAG, and dedicated configuration
pins on the device.
Do NOT use the following private instructions as they may render the device
inoperable:
11 0001 0000
00 1100 1001
11 0001 0011
11 0001 0111
You should take precautions to avoid invoking these instructions at any time.

Boundary-Scan Description Language (BSDL) Support
■ Perform a SAMPLE/PRELOAD test cycle prior to the first EXTEST test cycle to
ensure that known data is present at the device pins when you enter the EXTEST
mode. If the OEJ update register contains a 0, the data in the OUTJ update register
is driven out. The state must be known and correct to avoid contention with other
devices in the system.
■ Do not perform EXTEST testing during ICR. This instruction is supported before
or after ICR, but not during ICR. Use the CONFIG_IO instruction to interrupt
configuration and then perform testing, or wait for configuration to complete.
■ If performing testing before configuration, hold the nCONFIG pin low.
f For more information about boundary scan testing, contact Altera ® Application at
www.altera.com.
Boundary-Scan Description Language (BSDL) Support

The Boundary-Scan Description Language (BSDL), a subset of VHDL, provides a
syntax that allows you to describe the features of an IEEE Std. 1149.1 BST-capable
device that can be tested. Test software development systems then use the BSDL files
for test generation, analysis, and failure diagnostics.
f For more information about BSDL files for IEEE Std. 1149.1-compliant Stratix III
devices, refer to the Stratix III BSDL Files page on the Altera website.
To perform BST on a configured device, you will require a post configuration BSDL
file that is customized to your design. This file can be generated with the BSDL
Customizer script.

page on the Altera website.

14. Design Security in Stratix III Devices
SIII51014-1.5
Introduction
This chapter provides an overview of the design security feature and its
implementation on Stratix® III devices using advanced encryption standard (AES) as
well as security modes available in Stratix III devices.
As Stratix III devices start to play a role in larger and more critical designs in
competitive commercial and military environments, it is increasingly important to
protect the designs from copying, reverse engineering, and tampering. Stratix III
devices address these concerns and are the industry’s only high-density,
high-performance devices with both volatile and non-volatile security feature
support. Stratix III devices have the ability to decrypt configuration bitstreams using
the AES algorithm, an industry standard encryption algorithm that is FIPS-197
certified. They also have a design security feature that utilizes a 256-bit security key.
Altera® Stratix III devices store configuration data in static random access memory
(SRAM) configuration cells during device operation. Because SRAM memory is
volatile, SRAM cells must be loaded with configuration data each time the device
powers-up. It is possible to intercept configuration data when it is being transmitted
from the memory source (flash memory or a configuration device) to the device. The
intercepted configuration data could then be used to configure another device.
When using the Stratix III design security feature, the security key is stored in the
Stratix III device. Depending on the security mode, you can configure the Stratix III
device using a configuration file that is encrypted with the same key, or for board
testing, configured with a normal configuration file.
The design security feature is available when configuring Stratix III devices using the
fast passive parallel (FPP) configuration mode with an external host (such as a
MAX ® II device or microprocessor), or when using fast active serial (AS) or passive
serial (PS) configuration schemes. However, the design security feature is also
available in remote update with fast AS configuration mode. The design security
feature is not available when you are configuring your Stratix III device using Joint
Test Action Group (JTAG)-based configuration. For more information, refer to
“Supported Configuration Schemes” on page 14–5.
Stratix III Security Protection

Stratix III device designs are protected from copying, reverse engineering, and
tampering using configuration bitstream encryption.
Security Against Copying

The security key is securely stored in the Stratix III device and cannot be read out
through any interfaces. In addition, as configuration file read-back is not supported in
Stratix III devices, the design information cannot be copied.

14–2 Chapter 14: Design Security in Stratix III Devices
AES Decryption Block
Security Against Reverse Engineering

Reverse engineering from an encrypted configuration file is very difficult and time
consuming because the Stratix III configuration file formats are proprietary and the
file contains million of bits which require specific decryption. Reverse engineering the
Stratix III device is just as difficult because the device is manufactured on the most
advanced 65-nm process technology.
Security Against Tampering

The non-volatile keys are one-time programmable. Once the tamper protection bit is
set in the key programming file generated by the Quartus® II software, the Stratix III
device can only be configured with configuration files encrypted with the same key.
f For more information about why this feature is secured, refer to the Design Security in
Stratix III Devices white paper.
AES Decryption Block

The main purpose of the AES decryption block is to decrypt the configuration
bitstream prior to entering data decompression or configuration.
Prior to receiving encrypted data, you must enter and store the 256-bit security key in
the device. You can choose between a non-volatile security key and a volatile security
key with battery backup.
The security key is scrambled prior to storing it in key storage in order to make it
more difficult for anyone to retrieve the stored key using de-capsulation of the device.
Flexible Security Key Storage

Stratix III devices support two types of security key programming: volatile and
non-volatile. Table 14–1 shows the differences between volatile keys and non-volatile
keys.

You can program the non-volatile key to the Stratix III device without an external
battery. Also, there are no additional requirements to any of the Stratix III power
supply inputs.

Stratix III Design Security Solution
VCCBAT is a dedicated power supply for volatile key storage and not shared with other
on-chip power supplies, such as V CCIO or VCC. VCCBAT continuously supplies power to
the volatile register regardless of the on-chip supply condition.

1 After power-up, you need to wait 100 ms (PORSEL = 0) or 12 ms (PORSEL = 1) before

beginning the key programming to ensure that VCCBAT is at its full rail.
1 As an example, here are some lithium coin-cell type batteries used for volatile key
storage purposes: BR1220 (-30° to +80°C) and BR2477A (-40°C to +125°C).
f For more information about battery specifications, refer to the DC and Switching
Characteristics of Stratix III Devices chapter in volume 2 of the Stratix III Device
Handbook.
Stratix III Design Security Solution

Stratix III devices are SRAM-based devices. To provide design security, Stratix III
devices require a 256-bit security key for configuration bitstream encryption.
To carry out secure configuration, complete the following steps. Figure 14–1 also
describes secure configuration.
1. Program the security key into the Stratix III device.
Program the user-defined 256-bit AES keys to the Stratix III device through the
JTAG interface.
2. Encrypt the configuration file and store it in the external memory.
Encrypt the configuration file with the same 256-bit keys used to program the
Stratix III device. Encryption of the configuration file is done using the Quartus II
software. The encrypted configuration file is then loaded into external memory,
such as a configuration or flash device.
3. Configure the Stratix III device.
At system power-up, the external memory device sends the encrypted
configuration file to the Stratix III device.

Security Modes Available

There are several security modes available on the Stratix III device, which are
described as follows:
Volatile Key
Secure operation with volatile key programmed and required external battery—this
mode accepts both encrypted and unencrypted configuration bitstreams. Use the
unencrypted configuration bitstream support for board-level testing only.
Non-Volatile Key
Secure operation with one time programmable (OTP) security key programmed—this
mode accepts both encrypted and unencrypted configuration bitstreams. Use the
unencrypted configuration bitstream support for board-level testing only.
Non-Volatile Key with Tamper Protection Bit Set

Secure operation in tamper resistant mode with OTP security key programmed—only
encrypted configuration bitstreams are allowed to configure the device.
Tamper protection disables JTAG configuration with unencrypted configuration
bitstream.

Supported Configuration Schemes
1 Setting the tamper protection bit disables test mode in Stratix III devices. This process
is irreversible and prevents Altera from carrying-out failure analysis if test mode is
disabled. Contact Altera Technical Support to set the tamper protection bit.
1 You can perform Boundary Scan testing or use the SignalTap II logic analyzer to
analyze functional data with the tamper-protection bit set programmed into the
Stratix III FPGA.
No Key Operation
Only unencrypted configuration bitstreams are allowed to configure the device.
Table 14–3 summarizes the different security modes and the configuration bitstream
supported for each mode.

1 The design security feature with encrypted configuration file is available in all
configuration methods, except JTAG. Therefore, use the design security feature in FPP
mode (when using external controller, such as a MAX II device or a microprocessor
and a flash memory), or in fast AS and PS configuration schemes.
Table 14–5 summarizes the configuration schemes that support the design security
feature both for volatile and non-volatile key programming.

(1) In this mode, the host system must send a DCLK that is 4× the data rate.
(2) JTAG configuration supports only unencrypted configuration file.
Use the design security feature with other configuration features, such as compression
and remote system upgrade features. When you use compression with the design
security feature, the configuration file is first compressed and then encrypted using
the Quartus II software. During configuration, the Stratix III device first decrypts and
then decompresses the configuration file.

Conclusion
Conclusion
The need for design security is increasing as devices move from glue logic to
implementing critical system functions. Stratix III devices address this concern by
providing built-in design security. These devices not only offer high density, fast
performance, and cutting-edge features to meet your design needs, but also protect
your designs against IP theft and tampering of your configuration files.

15. SEU Mitigation in Stratix III Devices
SIII51015-1.7
This chapter describes how to use the error detection cyclical redundancy check
(CRC) feature when a Stratix ® III device is in user mode and recovers from CRC
errors. The purpose of the error detection CRC feature is to detect a flip in any of the
configuration CRAM bits in Stratix III devices due to a soft error. By using the error
detection circuitry, you can continuously verify the integrity of the configuration
CRAM bits.
In critical applications such as avionics, telecommunications, system control, and
military applications, it is important to be able to do the following:
■ Confirm that the configuration data stored in a Stratix III device is correct.
■ Alert the system to the occurrence of a configuration error.
1 The error detection feature has been enhanced in the Stratix III device family. In
addition, the error detection and recovery time for single event upset (SEU) in
Stratix III devices is reduced compared to Stratix II devices.
1 For Stratix III devices, use of the error detection CRC feature is provided in the
Quartus® II software version 6.1 and onwards.
1 Stratix III devices only support the error detection CRC feature at 1.1 V for VCCL. This
feature is not supported in Stratix III devices operating at 0.9 V for VCCL.
Dedicated circuitry is built into Stratix III devices and consists of a CRC error
detection feature that can optionally check for SEUs continuously and automatically.
This section describes how to activate and use the error detection CRC feature when
your Stratix III device is in user mode and describes how to recover from
configuration errors caused by CRC errors.
f Information about SEU is located on the Products page of the Altera ® website at
www.altera.com.
f For more information regarding the test methodology for the enhanced error
detection in Stratix III, refer to AN 539: Test Methodology of Error Detection and Recovery
using CRC in Altera FPGA Devices.
f For more information, refer to the Robust SEU Mitigation with Stratix III FPGAs White
Paper.
Using CRC error detection for the Stratix III family has no impact on fitting or
performance of your device.

15–2 Chapter 15: SEU Mitigation in Stratix III Devices
Error Detection Fundamentals
Error Detection Fundamentals

Error detection determines if the data received through a medium is corrupted during
transmission. To accomplish this, the transmitter uses a function to calculate a
checksum value for the data and appends the checksum to the original data frame.
The receiver uses the same calculation methodology to generate a checksum for the
received data frame and compares the received checksum to the transmitted
checksum. If the two checksum values are equal, the received data frame is correct
and no data corruption occurred during transmission or storage.
The error detection CRC feature uses the same concept. When Stratix III devices have
been configured successfully and are in user mode, the error detection CRC feature
ensures the integrity of the configuration data.
1 There are two CRC error checks. One always runs during configuration, the second
optional CRC error check runs in the background in user mode. Both CRC error
checks use the same CRC polynomial but different error detection implementations.
For more information, refer to “Configuration Error Detection” and “User Mode Error
Detection”.
Configuration Error Detection

In configuration mode, a frame-based CRC is stored within the configuration data
and contains the CRC value for each data frame.
During configuration, the Stratix III device calculates the CRC value based on the
frame of data that is received and compares it against the frame CRC value in the data
stream. Configuration continues until either the device detects an error or
configuration is complete.
In Stratix III devices, the CRC value is calculated during the configuration stage. A
parallel CRC engine generates 16 CRC check bits per frame and stores them into
CRAM. The CRAM chain used for storing CRC check bits is 16 bits wide; its length is
equal to the number of frames in the device.
User Mode Error Detection

Stratix III devices have built-in error detection circuitry to detect data corruption by
soft errors in the CRAM cells. This feature allows all CRAM contents to be read and
verified to match a configuration-computed CRC value. Soft errors are changes in a
CRAM’s bit state due to an ionizing particle.
The error detection capability continuously computes the CRC of the configured
CRAM bits and compares it with the pre-calculated CRC. If the CRCs match, there is
no error in the current configuration CRAM bits. The process of error detection
continues until the device is reset (by setting nCONFIG low).
As soon as the device transitions into user mode, you can enable the error detection
process if you enable the CRC error detection option. The internal 100-MHz
configuration oscillator is divided down by a factor of 2 to 256 (at powers of 2) to be
used as the clock source during the error detection process. Set the clock divide factor
in the option setting in the Quartus II software.

Chapter 15: SEU Mitigation in Stratix III Devices 15–3
A single 16-bit CRC calculation is done on a per-frame basis. Once it has finished the
CRC calculation for a frame, the resulting 16-bit signature is hex 0000 if there are no
detected CRAM bit errors in a frame by the error detection circuitry and the output
signal CRC_ERROR is 0. If a CRAM bit error is detected by the circuitry within a frame
in the device, the resulting signature is non-zero. This causes the CRC engine to start
searching the error bit location.
Error detection in Stratix III devices calculates CRC check bits for each frame and
pulls the CRC_ERROR pin high when it detects bit errors in the chip. Within a frame, it
can detect all single-bit, double-bit, and three-bit errors. The probability of more than
three CRAM bits being flipped by an SEU event is very low. In general, for all error
patterns the probability of detection is 99.998%.
The CRC engine reports the bit location and determines the type of error for all
single-bit errors and over 99.641% of double-adjacent errors. The probability of other
error patterns is very low and the report of the bit flips error location is not
guaranteed by the CRC engine.
You can also read-out the error bit location through the Joint Test Action Group
(JTAG) and the core interface. You must shift these bits out through either the JTAG
instruction, SHIFT_EDERROR_REG, or the core interface before the CRC detects the
next error in another frame. If the next frame also has an error, you have to shift these
bits out within the amount of time of one frame CRC verification. You can choose to
extend this time interval by slowing down the error detection clock frequency, but this
slows down the error recovery time for the SEU event. Refer to Table 15–6 on
page 15–10 for the minimum update interval for Stratix III devices. If these bits are not
shifted out before the next error location is found, the previous error location and
error message is overwritten by the new information. The CRC circuit continues to
run, and if an error is detected, you must decide whether to complete a
reconfiguration or to ignore the CRC error.
The error detection logic continues to calculate the CRC_ERROR and 16-bit signatures
for the next frame of data regardless if any error has occurred in the current frame or
not. You must monitor these signals and take the appropriate actions if a soft error
occurs.
Error detection circuitry in Stratix III devices uses a 16-bit CRC-ANSI standard (16-bit
polynomial) as the CRC generator.
The computed 16-bit CRC signature for each frame is stored in registers within the
core. The total storage register size is 16 (number of bits per frame) × the number of
frames.
The Stratix III device error detection feature does not check memory blocks and I/O
buffers. These memory blocks support parity bits that are used to check the contents
of memory blocks for any error. The I/O buffers are not verified during error
detection because these bits use flip-flops as storage elements that are more resistant
to soft errors compared to CRAM cells.
The M144K TriMatrix memory block has a built-in error correction code block that
checks and corrects errors in the block. However, for logic array blocks (LABs) that are
used as MLAB memory blocks, they are ignored during error detection verification.
Thus, the CRC_ERROR signal may stay solid high or low depending on the error status
of the previous checked CRAM frame.

f For more information about error detection in the Stratix III TriMatrix memory blocks,
refer to the TriMatrix Embedded Memory Blocks in Stratix III Devices chapter.
In order to provide testing capability of the error detection block, a JTAG instruction
EDERROR_INJECT is provided. This instruction can change the content of the 21-bit
JTAG fault injection register, used for error injection in Stratix III devices, hence
enabling testing of the error detection block.
1 You can only execute the EDERROR_INJECT JTAG instruction when the device is in
user mode.
Table 15–1 lists the EDERROR_INJECT JTAG instruction.
Table 15–1. EDERROR_INJECT JTAG Instruction

JTAG Instruction Instruction Code Description
This instruction controls the 21-bit JTAG fault
EDERROR_INJECT 00 0001 0101 injection register, which is used for error
injection.
1 You can only execute the EDERROR_INJECT JTAG instruction at error detection
frequency 50 MHz. Refer to “Error Detection Timing” on page 15–9 for instructions
about how to set the error detection frequency in the Quartus II software. For the
testing of the CRC detection block with the frequency lower than 50 MHz, contact

You can create Jam™ files (.jam) to automate the testing and verification process. This
allows you to verify the CRC functionality in-system, on-the-fly, without having to
reconfigure the device. You can then switch to the CRC circuit to check for real errors
induced by an SEU.
You can introduce a single error, double errors, or double errors adjacent to each other
to the configuration memory. This provides an extra way to facilitate design
verification and system fault tolerance characterization. Use the JTAG fault injection
register with EDERROR_INJECT instruction to flip the readback bits. The Stratix III
device is then forced into error test mode.
The content of the JTAG fault injection register is not loaded into the fault injection
register during the processing of the last and the first frame. It is only loaded at the
end of this period.
1 You can only introduce error injection in the first data frame, but you can monitor the
error information at any time.
For more information about the JTAG fault injection register and fault injection
register, refer to“Error Detection Registers” on page 15–7.

Table 15–2 lists how the fault injection register is implemented and describes error
injection.

Automated Single Event Upset Detection

Stratix III devices offer on-chip circuitry for automated checking of single-event upset
detection. Some applications that require the device to operate error-free in
high-neutron flux environments require periodic checks to ensure continued data
integrity. The error detection CRC feature ensures data reliability and is one of the
best options for mitigating SEU.
You can implement the error detection CRC feature with existing circuitry in
Stratix III devices, eliminating the need for external logic. The CRC_ERROR pin reports
a soft error when configuration CRAM data is corrupted and you would have to
decide whether to reconfigure the device or to ignore the error.

Error Detection Pin Description
Error Detection Pin Description

Depending on the type of error detection feature you choose, you will need to use
different error detection pins to monitor the data during user mode. The different
error detection pins available are described in the following sections.
CRC_ERROR Pin
Table 15–3 lists the CRC_ERROR pin.
Table 15–3. CRC_ERROR Pin Description

Pin Name Pin Type Description
Active high signal that indicates the error detection circuit has detected errors in
the configuration CRAM bits. This pin is optional and is used when the error
detection CRC circuit is enabled. When the error detection CRC circuit is
disabled, it is a user I/O pin.
The CRC error output, when using the WYSIWYG function, is a dedicated path to
the CRC_ERROR pin. By default, the Quartus II software sets the CRC_ERROR
pin as a dedicated output.
I/O, output, or
CRC_ERROR open-drain If CRC_ERROR is used as a dedicated output, make sure VCC IO of the bank where
output (optional) the pin resides meets the input voltage specification of the system receiving the
signal. Optionally, you can set this pin to be an open-drain output by enabling the
option in the Quartus II software from the Error Detection CRC tab of the
Device & Pin Options dialog box.
Using this pin as open-drain provides advantage on voltage leveling. To use this
pin as open-drain, tie the pin to VCC PGM through a 10-kΩ resistor. Alternatively,
depending on the voltage input voltage specification of the system receiving the
signal, you can tie the pull-up resistor to a different pull-up voltage.
1 WYSIWYG is a design primitive that corresponds to device features and can be

directly instantiated into your RTL design.
f The CRC_ERROR pin information for Stratix III devices is reported in Device Pin-Outs
on the Literature page of the Altera website (www.altera.com).

Error Detection Block

You can enable the Stratix III device error detection block in the Quartus II software
(refer to“Software Support” on page 15–11). This block contains the logic necessary to
calculate the 16-bit CRC signature for the configuration CRAM bits in the device.
The CRC circuit continues running even if an error occurs. When a soft error occurs,
the device sets the CRC_ERROR pin high. Two types of CRC detection check the
configuration bits:
■ The CRAM error checking ability (16-bit CRC) during user mode, for use by the
CRC_ERROR pin.
■ For each frame of data, the pre-calculated 16-bit CRC enters the CRC circuit
right at the end of the frame data and determines whether or not there is an
error.
■ If an error occurs, the search engine starts to find the location of the error.
■ You can shift the error messages out through the JTAG instruction or core
interface logic while the error detection block continues running.
■ The JTAG interface reads out the 16-bit CRC result for the first frame and also
shifts the 16-bit CRC bits to the 16-bit CRC storage registers for test purposes.
■ You can deliberately introduce single error, double errors, or double errors
adjacent to each other to configuration memory for testing and design
verification.
1 The “Error Detection Registers” section focuses on the first type, the 16-bit CRC only
when the device is in user mode.
■ The 16-bit CRC that is embedded in every configuration data frame.

■ During configuration, after a frame of data is loaded into the Stratix III device,
the pre-computed CRC is shifted into the CRC circuitry.
■ At the same time, the CRC value for the data frame shifted-in is calculated. If
the pre-computed CRC and calculated CRC values do not match, nSTATUS is
set low. Every data frame has a 16-bit CRC; therefore, there are many 16-bit
CRC values for the whole configuration bitstream. Every device has different
lengths of the configuration data frame.
Error Detection Registers

There is one set of 16-bit registers in the error detection circuitry that stores the
computed CRC signature. A non-zero value on the syndrome register causes the
CRC_ERROR pin to be set high. Figure 15–1 shows the block diagram of the error
detection circuitry, syndrome registers, and error injection block.

updated.

When the CRC feature is enabled through the Quartus II software, the device
automatically activates the CRC process upon entering user mode, after
configuration, and after initialization is complete.
If an error is detected within a frame, CRC_ERROR is driven high at the end of the error
location search, and after the Error Message Register gets updated. At the end of this
cycle, the CRC_ERROR pin is pulled low for a minimum 32 clock cycles. If the next
frame also contains an error, the CRC_ERROR is driven high again after the Error
Message Register gets overwritten by the new value. You can start to unload the error
message on each rising edge of CRC_ERROR pin. The error detection runs until the
device is reset.
Error detection circuitry runs off an internal configuration oscillator with a divisor
that sets the maximum frequency. Table 15–5 lists the minimum and maximum error
detection frequencies.
Table 15–5. Minimum and Maximum Error Detection Frequencies

You can set a lower clock frequency by specifying a division factor in the Quartus II
software (refer to “Software Support” on page 15–11). The divisor is a power of two
(2), where n is between 1 and 8. The divisor ranges from 2 through 256. Refer to
Equation 15–1.

1 The error detection frequency reflects the frequency of the error detection process for
a frame because the CRC calculation in Stratix III devices is done on a per-frame basis.

You must monitor the error message to avoid missing information in the Error
Message Register. The Error Message Register is updated whenever an error occurs.
The minimum interval time between each update for the Error Message Register
depends on the device and the error detection clock frequency. Table 15–6 lists the
estimated minimum interval time between each update for the Error Message
Register for Stratix III devices.

Software Support
The Quartus II software, starting with version 6.1, supports the error detection CRC
feature for Stratix III devices. Enabling this feature generates the CRC_ERROR output
to the optional dual purpose CRC_ERROR pin.
The error detection CRC feature is controlled by the Device and Pin Options dialog
box in the Quartus II software.
Enable the error detection feature using CRC by performing the following steps:
1. Open the Quartus II software and load a project that uses a Stratix III device.
2. On the Assignments menu, click Settings. The Settings dialog box is shown.
3. In the Category list, select Device. The Device page is shown.
4. Click Device and Pin Options. The Device and Pin Options dialog box is shown
(Figure 15–2).
5. In the Device and Pin Options dialog box, click the Error Detection CRC tab.
6. Turn on Enable error detection CRC (Figure 15–2).

in Table 15–5 on page 15–9.
1 The divide value divides the frequency of the configuration oscillator output clock
that clocks the CRC circuitry.
8. Click OK.

Recovering From CRC Errors
Recovering From CRC Errors

The system that contains the Stratix III device must control the device reconfiguration.
After detecting an error on the CRC_ERROR pin, strobing the nCONFIG signal low
directs the system to perform the reconfiguration at a time when it is safe for the
system to reconfigure the device.
When the data bit is rewritten with the correct value by reconfiguring the device, the
device functions correctly.
While soft errors are uncommon in Altera devices, certain high-reliability applications
may require a design to account for these errors.

16. Programmable Power and
Temperature-Sensing Diodes
SIII51016-1.5
Introduction
The total power of an FPGA includes static power and dynamic power. Static power is
the power consumed by the FPGA when it is programmed but no clocks are
operating. Dynamic power is comprised of switching power when the device is
configured and running. Dynamic power is calculated with the Equation 16–1:
Equation 16–1. Dynamic Power Equation

1 2
P = --- CV × frequency × toggle rate
2
Equation 16–1 shows that the frequency and toggle rate are design-dependent.
However, voltage can be varied to lower dynamic power consumption by the square
value of the voltage difference. Stratix ® III devices minimize static and dynamic
power with advanced process optimizations, selectable core voltage, and
programmable power technology. These technologies enable Stratix III designs to
optimally meet design-specific performance requirements with the lowest possible
power.
The Quartus® II software optimizes all designs with Stratix III power technology to
ensure performance is met at the lowest power consumption. This automatic process
allows you to concentrate on the functionality of your design, instead of the power
consumption of the design.
Power consumption also affects thermal management. Stratix III offers a temperature
sensing diode (TSD), which you can use with external circuitry to monitor the device
junction temperature for activities such as controlling air flow to the FPGA.
Stratix III Power Technology

The following section provides details about Stratix III selectable core voltage and
programmable power technology.
Selectable Core Voltage

Altera offers a series of low-voltage Stratix products that have the ability to power the
core logic of the device with either a 0.9-V or 1.1-V power supply. This power supply,
called VCCL, powers the logic array block (LAB), memory logic array block (MLAB),
digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, TriMatrix TM memory blocks, clock networks,
and routing lines. The periphery, consisting of the I/O registers and their routing
connections are powered by V CC with a 1.1-V power supply. You can use the
same 1.1-V power supply if you want both VCC and VCCL to be 1.1 V.

16–2 Chapter 16: Programmable Power and Temperature-Sensing Diodes in Stratix III Devices
Stratix III Power Technology
Lowering the core voltage reduces both static and dynamic power, but causes a
reduction in performance. You need to set the correct core supply voltage in the
Quartus II software settings under Operating Conditions, since the Quartus II
software analyzes the core power consumption and timing delays based on this
selection. When you compile a design, you can select either 0.9-V or 1.1-V core
voltage. You can compare the power and performance trade-offs of a 0.9-V core
voltage compilation result and a 1.1-V core voltage compilation result and then
choose the most desirable core voltage for your design. By default, the Quartus II
software sets the core voltage to 1.1 V.
Ensure that the board has a separate 0.9-V power supply to utilize the lower voltage
option and be sure to connect VCCL to the voltage level that you set in the Quartus II
software. The Stratix III device cannot distinguish which core voltage level is used on
the board. Connecting to the wrong voltage level gives you different timing delays
and power consumption than what is reported by the Quartus II software.
f For information about selectable core voltage performance and power effects on
sample designs, refer to AN 437: Power Optimization Techniques.
Programmable Power Technology

In addition to the variable core voltage, Stratix III devices also offer the ability to
configure portions of the core, called tiles, for high-speed or low-power mode of
operation performed by the Quartus II software without user intervention. This
programmable power technology, used to reduce static power, uses an on-chip
voltage regulator powered by VCCPT. In a design compilation, the Quartus II software
determines whether a tile needs to be in high-speed or low-power mode based on the
timing constraints of the design.
f For more information about how the Quartus II software uses programmable power
technology when compiling a design, refer to AN 437: Power Optimization Techniques.
A Stratix III tile can consist of the following:

■ MLAB/LAB pairs with routing to the pair
■ MLAB/LAB pairs with routing to the pair and to adjacent DSP/memory block
routing
■ TriMatrix memory blocks
■ DSP blocks
■ I/O interfaces
All blocks and routing associated with the tile share the same setting of either high
speed or low power. Tiles that include DSP blocks, memory blocks, or I/O interfaces
are set to high-speed mode by default for optimum performance when used in the
design. Unused DSP blocks, memory blocks, and I/O elements are set to low-power
mode to minimize static power. Clock networks do not support programmable power
technology.

Chapter 16: Programmable Power and Temperature-Sensing Diodes in Stratix III Devices 16–3
Stratix III External Power Supply Requirements
With programmable power technology, faster speed grade FPGAs may require less
power, as there are fewer high-speed MLAB and LAB pairs, compared to slower
speed grade FPGAs. The slower speed grade device may need to use more high-speed
MLAB and LAB pairs to meet the performance requirements, while the faster speed
grade device can meet the performance requirements with MLAB and LAB pairs in
low-power mode.
The Quartus II software sets unshared inputs and unused device resources in the
design to low-power mode to reduce static and dynamic power. The Quartus II
software sets the following resources to low power when they are not used in the
design:
■ LABs and MLABs
■ TriMatrix memory blocks
■ External memory interface circuitry
■ DSP blocks
■ phase-locked loop (PLL)
■ serializer/deserializer (SERDES) and DPA blocks
If the PLL is instantiated in the design, asserting a reset high keeps the PLL in low
power.
Relationship Between Selectable Core Voltage and Programmable Power Technology

Table 16–1 shows available Stratix III programmable power capabilities. You can
speed grade considerations to the permutations to give you flexibility in designing
your system.

This section describes the different external power supplies needed to power
Stratix III devices. Table 16–2 lists the external power supply pins for Stratix III
devices. Some of the power supply pins can be supplied with the same external power
supply, provided they need the same voltage level, as noted in the recommended
board connection column.

f For possible values of each power supply, refer to the DC and Switching Characteristics
of Stratix III Devices chapter in volume 2 of the Stratix III Device Handbook.
f For detailed guidelines about how to connect and isolate VCCL and VCC power supply
pins, refer to the Stratix III Device Family Pin Connections Guidelines.

(1) You can minimize the number of external power sources by driving the left column and supplies with the same voltage regulator. Note that
separate power planes, decoupling capacitors, and ferrite beads are required for VCCA_PLL and VCCPT when implementing this scheme.
(2) VCC PD can be either 2.5 V, 3.0 V, or 3.3 V. For a 3.3-V standard, VCC PD = 3.3 V. For a 3.0-V I/O standard, VC CP D = 3.0 V. For 2.5 V and below I/O
standards, VCC PD = 2.5 V.
(3) This scheme is for VCCIO = 2.5 V.
(4) There is one VREF pin per I/O bank. Use an external power supply or a resistor divider network to supply this voltage.

(1) When VCCL = 0.9 V, you need a separate voltage regulator.
(2) When VCCL = 0.9 V, VCCPT and VCC must be ramped before VCCL to minimize VCCL standby current during VCCPT and VCC ramping to full rail.
Temperature Sensing Diode

Knowing the junction temperature is crucial for thermal management. A Stratix III
device monitors its die temperature with an embedded temperature sensing diode
(TSD). This is done by sensing the voltage level across the TSD. Each temperature
level produces a unique voltage across the diode. Use an external analog-to-digital
converter that measures the voltage difference across the TSD and then converts it to a
temperature reading.

Conclusion
External Pin Connections

The Stratix III TSD, located in the top-right corner of the die, requires two pins for
voltage reference. Connect the TEMPDIODEP and TEMPDIODEN pins to the external
analog-to-digital converter, as shown in Figure 16–2.

Sensing device

TSD
Stratix III TEMPDIODEN
The TSD is a very sensitive circuit which can be influenced by the noise coupled from
traces on the board, and possibly within the device package itself, depending on
device usage. The interfacing device registers temperature based on milivolts of
difference as seen at the TSD. Switching I/O near the TSD pins can affect the
temperature reading. Altera recommends you take temperature readings during
periods of no activity in the device (for example, standby mode where no clocks are
toggling in the device), such as when the nearby I/Os are at a DC state and the clock
networks in the device are disabled.

Conclusion
As process geometries get smaller, power and thermal management is becoming more
crucial in FPGA designs. Stratix III devices offer programmable power technology
and selectable core voltage options for low-power operation. Use these features, along
with speed grade choices, in different permutations to get the best power and
performance combination. Taking advantage of the silicon, the Quartus II software is
able to manipulate designs to use the best combination to achieve the lowest power at
the required performance.
For thermal management, use the Stratix III temperature sensing diode with an
external analog-to-digital converter in production devices. This allows you to easily
incorporate this feature in your designs. Being able to monitor the junction
temperature of the device at any time also allows you to control air flow to the device
and save power for the whole system.

Electrical Characteristics
This chapter 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.
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
Stratix III devices, system designers must consider the operating requirements
described in this chapter.
Stratix III 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 speed grades.
1 In this chapter, a prefix associated with the operating temperature range is attached to
the speed grades; commercial with a “C” prefix and industrial with an “I” prefix. For
example, commercial devices are 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 Stratix III
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 Table 1–1 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.

(1) Supply voltage specifications apply to voltage readings taken at the device pins, not the power supply.
Sinusoidal Maximum Allowed Overshoot/Undershoot Voltage

During transitions, input signals may overshoot to the voltage listed in Table 1–2 and
undershoot to –2.0 V for input currents less than 100 mA and periods shorter than
20 ns.
Table 1–2 lists the maximum allowed input overshoot voltage and the duration of the
overshoot voltage as a percentage over the lifetime of the device. The maximum
allowed overshoot duration is specified as percentage of high-time over the lifetime of
the device.
A DC signal is equivalent to 100% duty cycle. For example, a signal that overshoots to
4.2 V can only be at 4.2 V for 15.8% over the lifetime of the device; for a device lifetime
of 10 years, this is equivalent to 15.8% of ten years which is 18.96 months. Figure 1–1
shows how to determine the overshoot duration.
Figure 1–1. Overshoot Duration

3.15 V
3.0 V
ΔT
1 In the example shown in Figure 1–1, the overshoot voltage is shown in red and is
present at the Stratix III pin, up to 4.1 V. From Table 1–2, for an overshoot of up to 4.1
V, the percentage of high time for overshoot > 3.15 V can be as high as 46% over an
11.4-year period. The percentage of high time is calculated as (delta T/T) * 100. This
11.4-year period assumes the device is always turned on with 100% I/O toggle rate
and 50% duty cycle signal. For lower I/O toggle rates and situations where the device
is in an idle state, lifetimes are increased.

(1) VCCPD is 2.5, 3.0, 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.

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. Because these currents vary
largely with the resources used, use the Excel-based Early Power Estimator (EPE) to
get supply current estimates for your design.
Table 1–4 lists supply current specifications for VCC_CLKIN and VCCPGM. Use the EPE to get
supply current estimates for the remaining power supplies.

Power Consumption
Altera offers two ways to estimate power for a design: the Excel-based Early Power
Estimator (EPE) 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 Quartus II
PowerPlay Power Analyzer provides estimation based on the specifics of the design
after place-and-route is complete. The PowerPlay Power Analyzer can apply a
combination of user-entered, simulation-derived, and estimated signal activities
which, when combined with detailed circuit models, can yield very accurate power
estimation.
Refer to Table 1–4 on page 1–5 for supply current estimates for V CCPGM and VCC_CLKIN.
Use the EPE and PowerPlay Power Analyzer for current estimates of remaining
power supplies.
f For more information about power estimation tools, refer to the PowerPlay Early Power
Estimator User Guide For Stratix III FPGAs and the PowerPlay Power Analysis chapter in
the Quartus II Handbook.

This section provides performance characteristics of Stratix III 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—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.

(1) This specification is limited in the Quartus II software by the I/O maximum frequency. The maximum I/O frequency is different for each I/O standard.
(2) This specification is limited by the lower of the two: I/O fmax or fout of the PLL.
(3) A high input jitter directly affects the PLL output jitter. To have low PLL output clock jitter, you must provide a clean clock source, which is less than 120 ps.
(4) FREF is fIN/N when N = 1.
(5) Peak-to-peak jitter with a probability level of 10–12 (14 sigma, 99.99999999974404% confidence level). The output jitter specification applies to the intrinsic jitter of the PLL, when an input jitter of 30 ps
is applied.
(6) High bandwidth PLL settings are not supported in external feedback mode.
(7) The cascaded PLL specification is only applicable with the following conditions:
a) Upstream PLL: 0.59 MHz  Upstream PLL BW < 1 MHz
© July 2010
b) Downstream PLL: Downstream PLL BW > 2 MHz

(8) External memory interface clock output jitter specifications use a different measurement method and are available in Table 1–33 on page 1–29.

(1) Use a memory block clock that comes through global clock routing from an on-chip PLL set to 50% output duty cycle to achieve the maximum memory block
performance. Use the Quartus II software to report timing for this and other memory block clocking schemes.
(2) The Fmax shown for M9K degrades 2% when you use the Error Detection CRC feature on the device, except for the C4L speed grade with VCCL = 0.9 V. For the
C4L speed grade with VCCL = 0.9V, there is no degradation in Fmax when you use the Error Detection CRC feature.
(3) The Fmax shown for M144K degrades 10 MHz when you use byte-enable support on M144K.
(4) Fmax is applicable when the COMPTABILITY option is turned ON.
(5) Fmax is applicable when the COMPTABILITY option is turned OFF. This option is turned ON by default in Quartus II software.
(6) The Fmax for the EP3SL200, EP3SE260, and EP3SL340 devices at the C2 speed grade is 7% slower than the C2 values shown in the table.

Periphery Performance
This section describes periphery performance, including high-speed I/O and external
memory interface.
I/O performance supports several system interfacing, such as the LVDS high-speed
I/O interface, external memory interface, and the PCI/PCI-X bus interface. For
example, Stratix III devices I/O configured with voltage referenced I/O standards can
achieve up to the stated system interfacing speed as indicated in “External Memory
Interface Specifications” on page 1–25. General-purpose I/O standards such as 3.3,
3.0, 2.5, 1.8, or 1.5 LVTTL/LVCMOS are capable of typical 167 MHz and 1.2 LVCMOS
at 100MHz interfacing frequency with 10pF load.
1 Actual achievable frequency depends on design- and system-specific factors. You

must perform HSPICE/IBIS simulations based on your specific design and system
setup to determine the maximum achievable frequency in your system.
High-Speed I/O Specifications

Refer to the “Glossary” on page 1–326 for the definitions of the high-speed timing
specifications.
Table 1–25 lists the true and emulated LVDS specifications for Stratix III devices.

(1) When J = 3 to 10, the SERDES block is used.
(2) When J = 1 or 2, the SERDES block is bypassed.
(3) Clock Boost Factor (W) is the ratio between the input data rate to the input clock rate.
(4) The minimum and maximum specification depends on the clock source (for example, the PLL and clock pin) and the clock routing resource (global, regional, or
local) used. The I/O differential buffer and input register do not have a minimum toggle rate.
(5) The txJitter specification is for the true LVDS I/O standard only.
(6) You can estimate the achievable maximum data rate for non-DPA mode by performing link timing closure analysis. Consider the board skew margin, transmitter
delay margin, as well as the receiver sampling margin to determine the maximum data rate supported.
(7) This is achieved by using the LVDS and DPA clock network.
(8) If the receiver (with DPA enabled) and the transmitter are using shared PLLs, the minimum data rate is 150 Mbps.
(9) This is only applied to DPA and Soft-CDR modes.

(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 ± 20 ps 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.

IOE delay, programmable output buffer delay, user I/O timing, and dedicated clock

Timing Model
The DirectDrive technology and MultiTrack interconnect ensure predictable
performance, accurate simulation, and accurate timing analysis across all Stratix III
device densities and speed grades. This section describes the performance of the
Stratix III device I/Os.
All specifications except the fast model are representative of worst-case supply
voltage and junction temperature conditions. Fast model specifications are
representative of best case process, supply voltage, and junction temperature
conditions.
The timing numbers listed in this section are extracted from the Quartus II software
version 8.1.

I/O Timing
Preliminary and Final Timing

Timing models can have either preliminary or final status. The Quartus II software
issues an informational message during design compilation if the timing models are
preliminary. Table 1–36 lists the status of the Stratix III device timing models.
Preliminary status means that the timing models are subject to change in future
Quartus II releases. Initially, timing numbers are created using simulation results,
process data, and other known parameters. Parts of the timing models may be
correlated to silicon measurements. Various tests are used to make the preliminary
numbers as close to the actual timing parameters as possible.
Final timing models are based on simulation models that are characterized versus the
actual device measurements under all allowable operating conditions. When the
timing models are final, all or most of the Stratix III family devices have been
completely characterized and no further changes to the timing model are expected.

I/O Timing Measurement Methodology

Altera characterizes timing delays at the worst-case process, minimum voltage, and
maximum temperature for input register setup time (tsu) and hold time (th). The
Quartus II software uses the following equations to calculate tsu and th timing for the
Stratix III devices input signals.
tsu =
+ data delay from the input pin to the input register
+ micro setup time of the input register
- clock delay from the input pin to the input register
th =
- data delay from the input pin to the input register
+ micro hold time of the input register
+ clock delay from the input pin to the input register

Input Clock Delay
For output timing, 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 0 pF (except for PCI and PCI-X,
which use 10 pF) loading. The timing is specified up to the output pin of the FPGA
device. The Quartus II software calculates 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 listed in Table 1–37 on
page 1–34. The following equation describes clock-pin-to-output-pin timing for
The tco from the clock pin to the I/O pin =
+ delay from the clock pad to the I/O output register
+ IOE output register clock-to-output delay
+ delay from the output register to the output pin

Register delay output pin delay
Simulation using IBIS models is required to determine the delays on the PCB traces in
addition to the output pin delay timing reported by the Quartus II software and the
timing model in the Stratix III Device Handbook. Perform the following steps:
1. Simulate the output driver of choice into the generalized test setup using values
from Table 1–37.
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.

I/O Timing
5. Compare the results of steps 2 and 4. The increase or decrease in delay must be
added to or subtracted from the I/O Standard Output Adder delays to yield the
actual worst-case propagation delay (clock-to-output) of the PCB trace.
The Quartus II software reports the timing with the conditions listed in Table 1–37
using Equation 1–1 on page 1–7. Figure 1–6 shows the circuit that is represented by
the output timing of the Quartus II software.

I/O Timing
Table 1–129 and Table 1–130 list the EP3SE110 regional clock (RCLK) adder values
that must be added to the GCLK values. Use these adder values to determine I/O
timing when the I/O pin is driven using the regional clock. This applies to all I/O
Table 1–129 lists the EP3SE110 column pin delay adders when using the regional
clock.

S The period of time during which the data must be valid in order to capture it correctly. The
setup and hold times determine the ideal strobe position within the sampling window (the
following figure):

(SW)
The JEDEC standard for SSTl and HSTL I/O standards defines both the AC and DC input
signal values. The AC values indicate the voltage levels at which the receiver must meet its
timing specifications. The DC values indicate the voltage levels at which the final logic state of
the receiver is unambiguously defined. After the receiver input has crossed the AC value, the
receiver changes to the new logic state.
The new logic state is maintained as long as the input stays beyond the DC threshold. This
approach is intended to provide predictable receiver timing in the presence of input waveform
ringing (The following figure):
