Cyclone FPGA Family Data Sheet
Preliminary Information
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 worst-
case voltage and junction temperature conditions.

Internal Timing Parameters
Internal timing parameters are specified on a speed grade basis
independent of device density. Tables 40 through 43 describe the Cyclone
device internal timing microparameters for LEs, IOEs, M4K memory
structures, and MultiTrack interconnects.
