Switching Characteristics
PLL Specifications
Table 1–20 describes the PLL specifications for Cyclone III devices when operating in
the commercial junction temperature range (0°C to 85°C), the industrial junction
temperature range (–40°C to 100°C), and the automotive junction temperature range
(–40°Cto 125°C). For more information about PLL block, refer to “PLL Block” in
“Glossary” on page 1–27.
