Notes to Figure 2–57:
(1) Figure 2–57 is a top view of the silicon die that corresponds to a reverse view for flip-chip packages. It is a graphical
representation only.
(2) Depending on the size of the device, different device members have different numbers of VREF groups. Refer to the
pin list and the Quartus II software for exact locations.
(3) Banks 9 through 12 are enhanced PLL external clock output banks. These PLL banks utilize the adjacent VREF group
when voltage-referenced standards are implemented. For example, if an SSTL input is implemented in PLL bank
10, the voltage level at VREFB7 is the reference voltage level for the SSTL input.
(4) Horizontal I/O banks feature SERDES and DPA circuitry for high speed differential I/O standards. See the High
Speed Differential I/O Interfaces in Stratix II & Stratix II GX Devices chapter of the Stratix II Device Handbook, Volume 2
or the Stratix II GX Device Handbook, Volume 2 for more information on differential I/O standards.
