Notes to Table 4–3:
(1) Supply voltage specifications apply to voltage readings taken at the device pins, not at the power supply.
(2) During transitions, the inputs may overshoot to the voltage shown in Table 4–2 based upon the input duty cycle. The DC case is equivalent to
100% duty cycle. During transitions, the inputs may undershoot to –2.0 V for input currents less than 100 mA and periods shorter than 20 ns.
(3) Maximum VCC rise time is 100 ms, and VCC must rise monotonically from ground to VCC
.
(4) VCCPD must ramp-up from 0 V to 3.3 V within 100 s to 100 ms. If VCCPD is not ramped up within this specified time, the Arria GX device will
not configure successfully. If the system does not allow for a VCCPD ramp-up time of 100 ms or less, hold nCONFIGlow until all power supplies
are reliable.
(5) All pins, including dedicated inputs, clock, I/O, and JTAG pins, can be driven before VCCINT, VCCPD, and VCCIO are powered.
(6) VCCIO maximum and minimum conditions for PCI and PCI-X are shown in parentheses.
