Operating Conditions

When Cyclone IV devices are implemented in a system, they are rated according to a

set of defined parameters. To maintain the highest possible performance and

reliability of Cyclone IV devices, you must consider the operating requirements

described in this chapter.

Cyclone IV devices are offered in commercial, industrial, extended industrial and,

automotive grades. Cyclone IV E devices offer –6 (fastest), –7, –8, –8L, and –9L speed

grades for commercial devices, –8L speed grades for industrial devices, and –7 speed

grade for extended industrial and automotive devices. Cyclone IV GX devices offer

–6 (fastest), –7, and –8 speed grades for commercial devices and –7 speed grade for

industrial devices.

devices, refer to the Cyclone IV FPGA Device Family Overview chapter.

devices with a core voltage of 1.0 V have an ‘L’ prefix attached to the speed grade.

In this chapter, a prefix associated with the operating temperature range is attached to

the speed grades; commercial with a “C” prefix, industrial with an “I” prefix, and

automotive with an “A” prefix. Therefore, commercial devices are indicated as C6, C7,

C8, C8L, or C9L per respective speed grade. Industrial devices are indicated as I7, I8,

or I8L. Automotive devices are indicated as A7.
