Table 1–33 lists the differential I/O standard specifications for Arria II GZ devices.
Power Consumption for the Arria II Device Family
Altera offers two ways to estimate power for a design:
■
Using the Microsoft Excel-based Early Power Estimator
■
Using the Quartus II PowerPlay Power Analyzer feature
The interactive Microsoft Excel-based Early Power Estimator is typically used prior to
designing the FPGA in order to get a magnitude estimate of the device power. The
Quartus II PowerPlay Power Analyzer provides better quality estimates based on the
Analyzer can apply a combination of user-entered, simulation-derived, and estimated
signal activities which, when combined with detailed circuit models, can yield very
accurate power estimates.

(2) Vertical I/O (VIO) is top and bottom I/Os; horizontal I/O (HIO) is left and right I/Os.
(3) RL range: 90 RL 110 .
(4) There are no fixed VICM, VOD, and VOCM specifications for BLVDS. These specifications depend on the system topology.
