Chapter 1: Cyclone III Device Family Overview
Cyclone III Device Family Features
1–3
■
Wide collection of pre-built and verified IP cores from Altera and Altera
Megafunction Partners Program (AMPP) partners
Supports high-speed external memory interfaces such as DDR, DDR2,
SDR SDRAM, and QDRII SRAM
■
■
Auto-calibrating PHY feature eases the timing closure process and eliminates
variations with PVT for DDR, DDR2, and QDRII SRAM interfaces
Cyclone III device family supports vertical migration that allows you to migrate your
device to other devices with the same dedicated pins, configuration pins, and power
pins for a given package-across device densities. This allows you to optimize device
density and cost as your design evolves.
