Initialization
Table 56 lists the initialization clock source option, the applicable configuration
schemes, and the maximum frequency for Cyclone V devices.

Note to Table 56:
(1) To enable CLKUSR as the initialization clock source, turn on the Enable user-supplied start-up clock (CLKUSR)
option in the Quartus II software from the General panel of the Device and Pin Options dialog box.
Configuration Files
Use Table 57 to estimate the file size before design compilation. Different
configuration file formats, such as a hexadecimal file (.hex) or tabular text file (.ttf)
format, have different file sizes.
For the different types of configuration file and file sizes, refer to the Quartus II
software. However, for a specific version of the Quartus II software, any design
targeted for the same device has the same uncompressed configuration file size.
Table 57 lists the uncompressed raw binary file (.rbf) sizes for Cyclone V devices. The
IOCSR .rbf size is specifically for the Configuration via Protocol (CvP) feature.
