Volume 1: Device Overview and Datasheet
PMA Support
To prevent core and I/O noise from coupling into the transceivers, the PMA block is
isolated from the rest of the chip, ensuring optimal signal integrity. The transceiver
channels consist of the PMA, PCS, and clock networks. You can also use the unused
receiver PMA channels as additional transmit PLLs.
Table 1–5 lists the transceiver PMA features.
PCS Support
The Arria V core logic connects to the PCS through an 8-, 10-, 16-, 20-, 32-, or 40-bit
interface, depending on the transceiver data rate and protocol. Arria V devices
contain PCS hard IP to support PCIe Gen1 and Gen2, XAUI, GbE, Serial
RapidIO®(SRIO), and CPRI protocols. All other standard and proprietary protocols
from 611 Mbps to 6.5536 Gbps are supported through the custom double-width mode
(up to 6.5536 Gbps) and custom single-width mode (up to 3.75 Gbps) transceiver PCS
hard IP. A dedicated 80-bit interface to the core logic connects directly from the PMA,
bypassing the PCS hard IP, to support all protocols beyond 6.5536 Gbps up to 10.3125
Gbps.
Table 1–6 lists the transceiver PCS features.

PCIe Gen1 and Gen2 Hard IP
Arria V Device Handbook February 2012 Altera Corporation
Volume 1: Device Overview and Datasheet
PCIe Gen1 and Gen2 Hard IP
Arria V devices contain PCIe hard IP designed for performance, ease-of-use, and
increased functionality. The PCIe hard IP consists of the PHY MAC, data link, and
transaction layers. The PCIe hard IP supports PCIe Gen2 end point and root port for
up to x4 lane configurations, and PCIe Gen1 end point and root port for up to x8 lane
configurations. PCIe endpoint support includes multifunction support for up to eight
functions, as shown in Figure 1–2.
The Arria V PCIe hard IP operates independently from the core logic, which allows
the PCIe link to wake up and complete link training in less than 100 ms, while the
Arria V device completes loading the programming file for the rest of the device. In
addition, the Arria V PCIe hard IP has improved end-to-end data path protection
using ECC.
FPGA GPIOs
Arria V devices offer highly configurable GPIOs. The following list describes the
many features of the GPIOs:
■Programmable bus hold and weak pull-up.
■LV D S output buffer with programmable differential output voltage (VOD) and
programmable pre-emphasis.
■Dynamic on-chip parallel termination (RT OCT) for all I/O banks with OCT
calibration to limit the termination impedance variation.
■On-chip dynamic termination to swap between serial and parallel termination,
depending on whether there is reading or writing on a common bus for signal
integrity.
■Configurable unused voltage reference (
VREF
) pins as user I/Os.
■Easy timing closure support using the hardened read FIFO in the input register
path, and delay-locked loop (DLL) delay chain with fine and coarse architecture.

ALM
Arria V Device Handbook February 2012 Altera Corporation
Volume 1: Device Overview and Datasheet
ALM
Arria V devices use a 28-nm ALM as the basic building block of the device fabric. The
ALM shown in Figure 1–3 uses an 8-input fracturable look-up table (LUT) with four
dedicated registers to help improve timing closure in register-rich designs and
achieve an even higher design packing capability than previous generations.
You can configure up to 25% of the ALMs in Arria V devices as distributed MLABs.
For more information, refer to “Embedded Memory” on page 1–14.
Variable-Precision DSP Block
Arria V devices feature a variable-precision DSP block that you can configure to
support signal processing with precision ranging from 9 x 9, 18 x 19, and 27 x 27 bits
natively.
You can independently configure each DSP block during compilation as a triple 9 x 9,
a dual 18 x 19 multiply, or a single 27 x 27. With a dedicated 64-bit cascade bus, you
can cascade multiple variable-precision DSP blocks to implement even higher
precision DSP functions efficiently.
The variable precision DSP block also supports these features:
■64-bit accumulator that is the largest in the industry,
■Double accumulator
■Hard pre-adder that is available in both 18- and 27-bit modes
■Cascaded output adders for efficient systolic FIR filters
■Dynamic coefficients
■18-bit internal coefficient register banks
■Enhanced independent multiplier operation
■Efficient support for single floating point arithmetic
■Inferability of all modes by the Altera Complete Design Suite

Volume 1: Device Overview and Datasheet
Embedded Memory
The Arria V memory blocks are flexible and designed to provide an optimal amount
of small- and large-sized memory arrays. Arria V devices contain two types of
embedded memory blocks:
■640-bit MLAB blocks—for wide and shallow memories. You can use up to 25% of
the device LABs as MLAB. The MLAB operates at up to 500 MHz.
■10-Kb M10K blocks—for larger memory configurations. The M10K embedded
memory operates at up to 400 MHz.
Table 1–10 lists the supported memory configurations for Arria V devices.
Dynamic and Partial Reconfiguration
Dynamic reconfiguration enables transceiver data rates or encoding schemes to be
changed dynamically while maintaining data transfer on adjacent transceiver
channels in Arria V devices. Dynamic reconfiguration is ideal for applications
requiring on-the-fly multi-protocol or multi-rate support. You can reconfigure the
PMA, PCS, and PCIe hard IP blocks with dynamic reconfiguration.
Partial reconfiguration allows you to reconfigure part of the device while other
sections remain running. Partial reconfiguration is required in systems where the
uptime is critical because it allows you to make updates or adjust functionality
without disrupting other services. While lowering power and cost, partial
reconfiguration also increases the effective logic density by removing the necessity to
place the device functions that do not operate simultaneously. Instead, you can store
these functions in external memory and load them as required. This reduces the size
of the required device by allowing multiple applications on a single device, which
saves board space and reduces power consumption.
Altera simplifies the time-intensive task of partial reconfiguration by building the
partial reconfiguration capability on top of the proven incremental compile and
design flow in the Quartus®II software. With this Altera solution, you do not need to
know all the intricate device architecture details to perform a partial reconfiguration.
Partial reconfiguration is supported through the FPP x16 configuration interface. You
can seamlessly use partial reconfiguration in tandem with dynamic reconfiguration to
enable partial reconfiguration of both the core and transceiver simultaneously.

Volume 1: Device Overview and Datasheet
Clock Networks and PLL Clock Sources
The Arria V clock network architecture is based on Altera’s proven global, quadrant,
and peripheral clock structure, which is supported by dedicated clock input pins and
fractional PLLs. Arria V devices have 16 global clock networks capable of up to
625 MHz operation. The Quartus II software identifies all unused sections of the clock
network and powers them down, which reduces power consumption.
Arria V devices have up to 16 PLLs with 18 output counters per PLL. One fractional
PLL can use up to 18 output counters and two adjacent fractional PLLs share the 18
output counters. You can use fractional PLLs to reduce the number of oscillators
required on your board, as well as reduce the clock pins used in the device by
synthesizing multiple clock frequencies from a single reference clock source. You can
use the PLLs for frequency synthesis, on-chip clock deskew, jitter attenuation,
dynamic phase-shift, zero delay buffers, counters reconfiguration, bandwidth
reconfiguration, programmable output clock duty cycles, PLL cascading, and
reference clock switchover.
Arria V devices use a fractional PLL architecture in addition to the historical integer
PLL. When you use fractional PLL mode, you can use the PLLs for precision
fractional-N frequency synthesis—removing the need for an off-chip reference clock.
Transceiver fractional PLLs, when not used by the Transceiver I/O, can be used as
general-purpose fractional PLLs by the FPGA fabric.

You can configure Arria V devices through PCIe using CvP instead of an external
flash or ROM. The CvP mode offers the fastest configuration rate and flexibility with
the easy-to-use PCIe hard IP block interface. The Arria V CvP implementation
conforms to the PCIe 100-ms power-up-to-active time requirement.
fFor more information regarding CvP, refer to the Configuration via Protocol (CvP)
Implementation in Altera FPGAs User Guide.
Table 1–11 lists the configuration modes that Arria V devices support.
Power Management
Arria V devices leverage FPGA architectural features and process technology
advancements to reduce the total device core power consumption by as much as 50%
when compared with Stratix IV devices at the same performance level.
Additionally, Arria V devices have a number of hard IP blocks that not only reduce
logic resources but also deliver substantial power savings when compared with soft
implementations. The list includes PCIe Gen1 and Gen2, XAUI, GbE, SRIO, GPON
and CPRI protocols. The hard IP blocks consume up to 25% less power than
equivalent soft implementations.

Arria V transceivers are also designed for power efficiency. As a result, the transceiver
channels consume 50% less power than the previous generation of Arria devices.
SoC FPGA with HPS
Each SoC FPGA device combines an FPGA fabric and an HPS in a single device. This
combination delivers the flexibility of programmable logic with the power and cost
savings of hard IP in the following ways:
■Reduces board space, system power, and bill of materials cost by eliminating a
discrete embedded processor
■Allows you to differentiate the end product in both the hardware and software,
and to support virtually any interface standard
■Extends the product life and revenue through in-field hardware and software
updates
Features of the HPS
The HPS consists of a dual-core ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore processor, a rich set of
peripherals, and a shared multiport SDRAM memory controller, as shown in

Arria V Device Handbook February 2012 Altera Corporation
Volume 1: Device Overview and Datasheet
System Peripherals
The Ethernet MAC, USB OTG controller, NAND flash controller and SD/MMC/SDIO
controller modules have an integrated DMA controller. For modules without an
integrated DMA controller, an additional DMA controller module provides up to
eight channels for high-bandwidth data transfers. The debug access port provides
interfaces to industry standard JTAG debug probes and supports ARM CoreSight
debug and core traces to facilitate software development.
HPS-FPGA AXI Bridges
The HPS–FPGA bridges, which support the Advanced Microcontroller Bus
Architecture (AMBA®) Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI™) specifications, consist
of the following bridges:
■FPGA-to-HPS AXI bridge—a high-performance bus supporting 32-, 64-, and
128-bit data widths that allows the FPGA fabric to master transactions to the slaves
in the HPS
■HPS-to-FPGA AXI bridge—a high-performance bus supporting 32-, 64-, and
128-bit data widths that allows the HPS to master transactions to the slaves in the
FPGA fabric.
■Lightweight HPS-to-FPGA AXI bridge—a lower performance 32-bit width bus
that allows the HPS to master transactions to the slaves in the FPGA fabric.
The HPS–FPGA AXI bridges also allow the FPGA fabric to access the memory shared
by one or both microprocessors, and provide asynchronous clock crossing with the
clock from the FPGA fabric.
HPS SDRAM Controller Subsystem
The HPS SDRAM controller subsystem contains a multiport SDRAM controller and
DDR PHY that is shared between the FPGA fabric (through the
FPGA-to-HPS SDRAM interface), the level 2 (L2) cache, and the level 3 (L3) system
interconnect. The FPGA-to-HPS SDRAM interface supports AMBA AXI and Avalon®
Memory-Mapped (Avalon-MM) interface standards, and provides up to four ports
with separate read and write directions.
To maximize memory performance, the HPS SDRAM controller subsystem supports
command and data reordering, deficit round-robin arbitration with aging, and
high-priority bypass features. The HPS SDRAM controller subsystem supports DDR2,
DDR3, LPDDR, or LPDDR2 devices up to 4 Gb and runs up to 533 MHz (1066 Mbps
data rate).
For easy migration, the FPGA-to-HPS SDRAM interface is compatible with the
interface of the soft SDRAM memory controller IPs and hard SDRAM memory
controllers in the FPGA fabric.
FPGA Configuration and Processor Booting
The FPGA fabric and HPS in the SoC FPGA are powered independently. You can
reduce the clock frequencies or gate the clocks to reduce dynamic power, or shut
down the entire FPGA fabric to reduce total system power.
You can configure the FPGA fabric and boot the HPS independently, in any order,
providing you with more design flexibility:
Chapter 1: Overview for the Arria V Device Family 1–19
SoC FPGA with HPS
February 2012 Altera Corporation Arria V Device Handbook
Volume 1: Device Overview and Datasheet
■You can boot the HPS before you power up and configure the FPGA fabric. After
the system is running, the HPS reconfigures the FPGA fabric at any time under
program control or through the FPGA configuration controller.
■You can power up both the HPS and the FPGA fabric together, configure the FPGA
fabric first, and then upload the boot code to the HPS from the FPGA fabric.
Hardware and Software Development
For hardware development, you can configure the HPS and connect your soft logic in
the FPGA fabric to the HPS interfaces using the Qsys system integration tool in the
Quartus II software.
For software development, the ARM-based SoC FPGA devices inherit the rich
software development ecosystem available for the ARM Cortex-A9 MPCore
processor. The software development process for Altera SoC FPGAs follows the same
steps as those for other SoC devices. Altera also provides support for the Linux and
VxWorks® operating systems.
You can begin device-specific firmware and software development on the Altera
SoC FPGA Virtual Target. The Virtual Target is a PC-based fast-functional simulation
of a target development system—a model of a complete development board that runs
on a PC. The Virtual Target enables the development of device-specific production
software that can run unmodified on actual hardware.

Maximum Allowed Overshoot and Undershoot Voltage
During transitions, input signals may overshoot to the voltage listed in Table 2–2 and
undershoot to –2.0 V for input currents less than 100 mA and periods shorter than
20 ns.
Table 2–2 lists the maximum allowed input overshoot voltage and the duration of the
overshoot voltage as a percentage of device lifetime. The maximum allowed
overshoot duration is specified as a percentage of high time over the lifetime of the
device. A DC signal is equivalent to 100% duty cycle. For example, a signal that
overshoots to 3.95 V can only be at 3.95 V for ~5% over the lifetime of the device; for a
device lifetime of 10 years, this amounts to half a year.

Power Consumption
Altera offers two ways to estimate power consumption for a design—the Excel-based
Early Power Estimator (EPE) and the Quartus® II PowerPlay Power Analyzer feature.
1You typically use the interactive Excel-based EPE before designing the FPGA to get a
magnitude estimate of the device power. The Quartus II PowerPlay Power Analyzer
provides better quality estimates based on the specifics of the design after you
complete place-and-route. The PowerPlay Power Analyzer can apply a combination
of user-entered, simulation-derived, and estimated signal activities that, when
combined with detailed circuit models, yields very accurate power estimates.
fFor more information about power estimation tools, refer to the PowerPlay Early Power
Estimator User Guide and the PowerPlay Power Analysis chapter in the Quartus II
Handbook.
Switching Characteristics
This section provides performance characteristics of Arria V core and periphery
blocks for commercial grade devices.
These characteristics can be designated as Preliminary or Final.
■Preliminary characteristics are created using simulation results, process data, and
other known parameters. The title of these tables show the designation as
“Preliminary.”
■Final numbers are based on actual silicon characterization and testing. The
numbers reflect the actual performance of the device under worst-case silicon
process, voltage, and junction temperature conditions. There are no preliminary
designations on finalized tables.

to the Overview for Arria V Device Family chapter.
(2) Differential LVPECL signal levels must comply to the minimum and maximum peak-to-peak differential input voltage specified in this table.
(3) The reference clock common mode voltage is equal to the VCCR_GXB power supply level.
(4) The device cannot tolerate prolonged operation at this absolute maximum.
(5) The differential eye opening specification at the receiver input pins assumes that you have disabled the Receiver Equalization feature. If you enable the
Receiver Equalization feature, the receiver circuitry can tolerate a lower minimum eye opening, depending on the equalization level.
(6) The rate match FIFO supports only up to ±300 parts per million (ppm).
(7) The Quartus II software automatically selects the appropriate slew rate depending on the configured data rate or functional mode.

(2) This specification is limited in the Quartus II software by the I/O maximum frequency. The maximum I/O frequency is different for each I/O
standard.
(3) This specification is limited by the lower of the two: I/O fMAX or FOUT of the PLL.
(4) A high input jitter directly affects the PLL output jitter. To have low PLL output clock jitter, you must provide a clean clock source < 120 ps.
(5) FREF is fIN/N when N = 1.
(6) Peak-to-peak jitter with a probability level of 10–12 (14 sigma, 99.99999999974404 % confidence level). The output jitter specification applies to
the intrinsic jitter of the PLL, when an input jitter of 30 ps is applied. The external memory interface clock output jitter specifications use a different
measurement method and are available in Table 2–33 on page 2–35.
(7) The cascaded PLL specification is only applicable with the following conditions:
a. Upstream PLL: 0.59 MHz Upstream PLL BW < 1 MHz
b. Downstream PLL: Downstream PLL BW > 2 MHz
(8) High bandwidth PLL settings are not supported in external feedback mode.

Periphery Performance
This section describes periphery performance and the high-speed I/O and external
memory interface.
I/O performance supports several system interfaces, such as the LVDS high-speed
I/O interface, external memory interface, and the PCI/PCI-X bus interface. GPIO
standards such as 3.3-, 2.5-, 1.8-, and 1.5-V LV T T L / LV C M OS are capable of a typical
167 MHz and 1.2 LV C M O S at 100 MHz interfacing frequency with a 10 pF load.
1Actual achievable frequency depends on design- and system-specific factors. You
must perform HSPICE/IBIS simulations based on your specific design and system
setup to determine the maximum achievable frequency in your system.

Notes to Table 2–29:
(1) When J = 3 to 10, use the serializer/deserializer (SERDES) block.
(2) When J = 1 or 2, bypass the SERDES block.
(3) This applies to LVDS source synchronous mode only.
(4) This applies to DPA and soft-CDR modes only.
(5) Clock Boost Factor (W) is the ratio between the input data rate and the input clock rate.
(6) This is achieved by using the LVDS clock network.
(7) The minimum specification depends on the clock source (for example, the PLL and clock pin) and the clock routing resource (global, regional, or local) that
you use. The I/O differential buffer and input register do not have a minimum toggle rate.
(8) You must calculate the leftover timing margin in the receiver by performing link timing closure analysis. You must consider the board skew margin, transmitter
channel-to-channel skew, and receiver sampling margin to determine the leftover timing margin.
(9) You can estimate the achievable maximum data rate for non-DPA mode by performing link timing closure analysis. You must consider the board skew margin,
transmitter delay margin, and receiver sampling margin to determine the maximum data rate supported.

FPP Configuration Timing
This section describes the fast passive parallel (FPP) configuration timing parameters
for Arria V devices.
DCLK-to-DATA[] Ratio (r) for FPP Configuration
FPP configuration requires a different
DCLK
-to-
DATA[]
ratio when you turn on
encryption or the compression feature.
Table 2–38 lists the
DCLK
-to-
DATA[]
ratio for each combination.
FPP Configuration Timing when DCLK to DATA[] = 1
Figure 2–5 shows the timing waveform for a FPP configuration when using a MAX®II
device as an external host. This timing waveform shows timing when the
DCLK
-to-
DATA[]
ratio is 1.
1When you enable decompression or the design security feature, the
DCLK
-to-
DATA[]
ratio varies for FPP x8 and FPP x16. For the respective
DCLK
-to-
DATA[]
ratio, refer to
Table 2–38.

Note to Table 2–38:
(1) Depending on the
DCLK

DATA[]
ratio, the host must send a
DCLK
frequency that is r times the
DATA[]
rate in
byte per second (Bps) or word per second (Wps). For example, in FPP x16 where the r is 2, the
DCLK
frequency
must be 2 times the
DATA[]
rate in Wps.

Notes to Figure 2–5:
(1) The beginning of this waveform shows the device in user mode. In user mode,
nCONFIG
,
nSTATUS
, and
CONF_DONE
are at logic-high levels. When
nCONFIG
is pulled low, a reconfiguration cycle begins.
(2) After power up, the Arria V device holds
nSTATUS
low for the time of the POR delay.
(3) After power up, before and during configuration,
CONF_DONE
is low.
(4) Do not leave
DCLK
floating after configuration. You can drive it high or low, whichever is more convenient.
(5) For FPP x16, use
DATA[15..0]
. For FPP x8, use
DATA[7..0]
.
DATA[15..0]
are available as a user I/O pin after configuration. The state of this
pin depends on the dual-purpose pin settings.
(6) To ensure a successful configuration, send the entire configuration data to the Arria V device.
CONF_DONE
is released high when the Arria V device
receives all the configuration data successfully. After
CONF_DONE
goes high, send two additional falling edges on
DCLK
to begin initialization and
enter user mode.
(7) After the option bit to enable the
INIT_DONE
pin is configured into the device, the
INIT_DONE
goes low.

FPP Configuration Timing when DCLK to DATA[] > 1
Figure 2–6 shows the timing waveform for a FPP configuration when using a MAX II
device or microprocessor as an external host. This waveform shows timing when the
DCLK-to-DATA[]ratio is more than 1.
Figure 2–6. FPP Configuration Timing Waveform When the DCLK-to-DATA[] Ratio is >1 (1),(2)
Notes to Figure 2–6:
(1) To find the DCLK-to-DATA[] ratio for your system, refer Table 2–38 on page 2–38.
(2) The beginning of this waveform shows the device in user mode. In user mode, nCONFIG, nSTATUS, and CONF_DONE are at logic high levels.
When nCONFIG is pulled low, a reconfiguration cycle begins.
(3) After power up, the Arria V device holds nSTATUS low for the time as specified by the POR delay.
(4) After power up, before and during configuration, CONF_DONE is low.
(5) Do not leave DCLK floating after configuration. You can drive it high or low, whichever is more convenient.
(6) “r” denotes the DCLK-to-DATA[] ratio. For the DCLK-to-DATA[] ratio based on the decompression and the design security feature enable
settings, refer to Table 2–38 on page 2–38.
(7) If needed, pause DCLK by holding it low. When DCLK restarts, the external host must provide data on the DATA[15..0] pins prior to sending
the first DCLK rising edge.
(8) To ensure a successful configuration, send the entire configuration data to the Arria V device. CONF_DONE is released high after the Arria V device
receives all the configuration data successfully. After CONF_DONE goes high, send two additional falling edges on DCLK to begin initialization
and enter user mode.
(9) After the option bit to enable the INIT_DONE pin is configured into the device, the INIT_DONE goes low.

Notes to Figure 2–7:
(1) The AS scheme supports standard and fast POR delay (tPOR). For tPOR delay information, refer to the “POR Delay Specification” section in the
Configuration, Design Security, and remote System Upgrades in Arria V Devices chapter.
(2) If you are using AS x4 mode, this signal represents the AS_DATA[3..0] and EPCQ sends in 4-bits of data for each DCLK cycle.
(3) The initialization clock can be from the internal oscillator or CLKUSR pin.
(4) After the option bit to enable the INIT_DONE pin is configured into the device, the INIT_DONE goes low.

I/O Timing
Altera offers two ways to determine I/O timing—the Excel-based I/O Timing and the
Quartus II Timing Analyzer.
Excel-based I/O timing provides pin timing performance for each device density and
speed grade. The data is typically used prior to designing the FPGA to get an estimate
of the timing budget as part of the link timing analysis. The Quartus II Timing
Analyzer provides a more accurate and precise I/O timing data based on the specifics
of the design after you complete place-and-route.
fYou can download the Excel-based I/O Timing spreadsheet from the Arria V Devices
Literature webpage.

of the output buffer. The default delay is 0 ps.

standard
The JEDEC standard for the SSTl and HSTL I/O defines both the AC and DC input signal
values. The AC values indicate the voltage levels at which the receiver must meet its timing
specifications. The DC values indicate the voltage levels at which the final logic state of the
receiver is unambiguously defined. After the receiver input has crossed the AC value, the
receiver changes to the new logic state.
The new logic state is then maintained as long as the input stays beyond the AC threshold.
This approach is intended to provide predictable receiver timing in the presence of input
waveform ringing, as shown:
