Notes to Table 1–34:
(1) The memory output clock jitter measurements are for 200 consecutive clock cycles, as specified in the JEDEC DDR2 standard.
(2) The clock jitter specification applies to memory output clock pins generated using DDIO circuits clocked by a PLL output routed on a global
clock network.
Duty Cycle Distortion Specifications
Table 1–35 lists the worst case duty cycle distortion for Cyclone III devices.

Notes to Table 1–35:
(1) Duty cycle distortion specification applies to clock outputs from PLLs, global clock tree, and IOE driving dedicated
and general purpose I/O pins.
(2) Cyclone III devices meet specified duty cycle distortion at maximum output toggle rate for each combination of
I/O standard and current strength.
OCT Calibration Timing Specification
Table 1–36 lists the duration of calibration for series OCT with calibration at device
power-up for Cyclone III devices.
