Timing Model and Specifications
Preliminary and Final Timing
This section describes the performance, internal, external, and UFM timing
specifications. All specifications are representative of the worst-case supply voltage
and junction temperature conditions.
Timing models can have either preliminary or final status. The Quartus II software
issues an informational message during the design compilation if the timing models
are preliminary. Table 3–16 lists the status of the MAX V device timing models.
Preliminary status means the timing model is subject to change. Initially, timing
numbers are created using simulation results, process data, and other known
parameters. These tests are used to make the preliminary numbers as close to the
actual timing parameters as possible.
Final timing numbers are based on actual device operation and testing. These
numbers reflect the actual performance of the device under the worst-case voltage
and junction temperature conditions.

Performance
Table 3–17 lists the MAX V device performance for some common designs. All
performance values were obtained with the Quartus II software compilation of
megafunctions.
