General
Description
MAX 3000A devices are low–cost, high–performance devices based on the
Altera MAX architecture. Fabricated with advanced CMOS technology,
the EEPROM–based MAX 3000A devices operate with a 3.3-V supply
voltage and provide 600 to 10,000 usable gates, ISP, pin-to-pin delays as
fast as 4.5 ns, and counter speeds of up to 227.3 MHz. MAX 3000A devices
in the –4, –5, –6, –7, and –10 speed grades are compatible with the timing
requirements of the PCI Special Interest Group (PCI SIG) PCI Local Bus
Specification, Revision 2.2. See Table 2.
Altera Corporation 3
MAX 3000A Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
The MAX 3000A architecture supports 100% transistor-to-transistor logic
(TTL) emulation and high–density small-scale integration (SSI),
medium-scale integration (MSI), and large-scale integration (LSI) logic
functions. The MAX 3000A architecture easily integrates multiple devices
ranging from PALs, GALs, and 22V10s to MACH and pLSI devices.
MAX 3000A devices are available in a wide range of packages, including
PLCC, PQFP, and TQFP packages. See Table 3.
Note:
(1) When the IEEE Std. 1149.1 (JTAG) interface is used for in–system programming or
boundary–scan testing, four I/O pins become JTAG pins.
MAX 3000A devices use CMOS EEPROM cells to implement logic
functions. The user–configurable MAX 3000A architecture accommodates
a variety of independent combinatorial and sequential logic functions.
The devices can be reprogrammed for quick and efficient iterations
during design development and debugging cycles, and can be
programmed and erased up to 100 times.

MAX 3000A Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
MAX 3000A devices contain 32 to 512 macrocells, combined into groups
of 16 macrocells called logic array blocks (LABs). Each macrocell has a
programmable–AND/fixed–OR array and a configurable register with
independently programmable clock, clock enable, clear, and preset
functions. To build complex logic functions, each macrocell can be
supplemented with shareable expander and high–speed parallel
expander product terms to provide up to 32 product terms per macrocell.
MAX 3000A devices provide programmable speed/power optimization.
Speed–critical portions of a design can run at high speed/full power,
while the remaining portions run at reduced speed/low power. This
speed/power optimization feature enables the designer to configure one
or more macrocells to operate at 50% or lower power while adding only a
nominal timing delay. MAX 3000A devices also provide an option that
reduces the slew rate of the output buffers, minimizing noise transients
when non–speed–critical signals are switching. The output drivers of all
MAX 3000A devices can be set for 2.5 V or 3.3 V, and all input pins are
2.5–V, 3.3–V, and 5.0-V tolerant, allowing MAX 3000A devices to be used
in mixed–voltage systems.
MAX 3000A devices are supported by Altera development systems,
which are integrated packages that offer schematic, text—including
VHDL, Verilog HDL, and the Altera Hardware Description Language
(AHDL)—and waveform design entry, compilation and logic synthesis,
simulation and timing analysis, and device programming. The software
provides EDIF 2 0 0 and 3 0 0, LPM, VHDL, Verilog HDL, and other
interfaces for additional design entry and simulation support from other
industry–standard PC– and UNIX–workstation–based EDA tools. The
software runs on Windows–based PCs, as well as Sun SPARCstation, and
HP 9000 Series 700/800 workstations.

Programmable Logic Development System & Software Data Sheet and the
Quartus Programmable Logic Development System & Software Data Sheet.
Functional
Description
The MAX 3000A architecture includes the following elements:
■Logic array blocks (LABs)
■Macrocells
■Expander product terms (shareable and parallel)
■Programmable interconnect array (PIA)
■I/O control blocks
The MAX 3000A architecture includes four dedicated inputs that can be
used as general–purpose inputs or as high–speed, global control signals
(clock, clear, and two output enable signals) for each macrocell and I/O
pin. Figure 1 shows the architecture of MAX 3000A devices.

Note:
(1) EPM3032A, EPM3064A, EPM3128A, and EPM3256A devices have six output enables. EPM3512A devices have
10 output enables.
Logic Array Blocks
The MAX 3000A device architecture is based on the linking of
high–performance LABs. LABs consist of 16–macrocell arrays, as shown
in Figure 1. Multiple LABs are linked together via the PIA, a global bus
that is fed by all dedicated input pins, I/O pins, and macrocells.
Each LAB is fed by the following signals:
■36 signals from the PIA that are used for general logic inputs
■Global controls that are used for secondary register functions

Macrocells
MAX 3000A macrocells can be individually configured for either
sequential or combinatorial logic operation. Macrocells consist of three
functional blocks: logic array, product–term select matrix, and
programmable register. Figure 2 shows a MAX 3000A macrocell.
Figure 2. MAX 3000A Macrocell
Combinatorial logic is implemented in the logic array, which provides
five product terms per macrocell. The product–term select matrix
allocates these product terms for use as either primary logic inputs (to the
OR and XOR gates) to implement combinatorial functions, or as secondary
inputs to the macrocell’s register preset, clock, and clock enable control
functions.
Two kinds of expander product terms (“expanders”) are available to
supplement macrocell logic resources:
■Shareable expanders, which are inverted product terms that are fed
back into the logic array
■Parallel expanders, which are product terms borrowed from adjacent
macrocells
The Altera development system automatically optimizes product–term
allocation according to the logic requirements of the design.

MAX 3000A Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
For registered functions, each macrocell flipflop can be individually
programmed to implement D, T, JK, or SR operation with programmable
clock control. The flipflop can be bypassed for combinatorial operation.
During design entry, the designer specifies the desired flipflop type; the
Altera development system software then selects the most efficient
flipflop operation for each registered function to optimize resource
utilization.
Each programmable register can be clocked in three different modes:
■Global clock signal mode, which achieves the fastest clock–to–output
performance.
■Global clock signal enabled by an active–high clock enable. A clock
enable is generated by a product term. This mode provides an enable
on each flipflop while still achieving the fast clock–to–output
performance of the global clock.
■Array clock implemented with a product term. In this mode, the
flipflop can be clocked by signals from buried macrocells or I/O pins.
Two global clock signals are available in MAX 3000A devices. As shown
in Figure 1, these global clock signals can be the true or the complement of
either of the two global clock pins, GCLK1 or GCLK2.
Each register also supports asynchronous preset and clear functions. As
shown in Figure 2, the product–term select matrix allocates product terms
to control these operations. Although the product–term–driven preset
and clear from the register are active high, active–low control can be
obtained by inverting the signal within the logic array. In addition, each
register clear function can be individually driven by the active–low
dedicated global clear pin (GCLRn).
All registers are cleared upon power-up. By default, all registered outputs
drive low when the device is powered up. You can set the registered
outputs to drive high upon power-up through the Quartus®II software.
Quartus II software uses the NOT Gate Push-Back method, which uses an
additional macrocell to set the output high. To set this in the Quartus II
software, go to the Assignment Editor and set the Power-Up Level
assignment for the register to High.

MAX 3000A Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
Expander Product Terms
Although most logic functions can be implemented with the five product
terms available in each macrocell, highly complex logic functions require
additional product terms. Another macrocell can be used to supply the
required logic resources. However, the MAX 3000A architecture also
offers both shareable and parallel expander product terms (“expanders”)
that provide additional product terms directly to any macrocell in the
same LAB. These expanders help ensure that logic is synthesized with the
fewest possible logic resources to obtain the fastest possible speed.
Shareable Expanders
Each LAB has 16 shareable expanders that can be viewed as a pool of
uncommitted single product terms (one from each macrocell) with
inverted outputs that feed back into the logic array. Each shareable
expander can be used and shared by any or all macrocells in the LAB to
build complex logic functions. Shareable expanders incur a small delay
(tSEXP). Figure 3 shows how shareable expanders can feed multiple
macrocells.

Shareable expanders can be shared by any or all macrocells in an LAB.

Parallel Expanders
Parallel expanders are unused product terms that can be allocated to a
neighboring macrocell to implement fast, complex logic functions.
Parallel expanders allow up to 20 product terms to directly feed the
macrocell OR logic, with five product terms provided by the macrocell and
15 parallel expanders provided by neighboring macrocells in the LAB.
The Altera development system compiler can automatically allocate up to
three sets of up to five parallel expanders to the macrocells that require
additional product terms. Each set of five parallel expanders incurs a
small, incremental timing delay (tPEXP). For example, if a macrocell
requires 14 product terms, the compiler uses the five dedicated product
terms within the macrocell and allocates two sets of parallel expanders;
the first set includes five product terms, and the second set includes four
product terms, increasing the total delay by 2 × tPEXP.
Two groups of eight macrocells within each LAB (e.g., macrocells 1
through 8 and 9 through 16) form two chains to lend or borrow parallel
expanders. A macrocell borrows parallel expanders from lower–
numbered macrocells. For example, macrocell 8 can borrow parallel
expanders from macrocell 7, from macrocells 7 and 6, or from macrocells
7, 6, and 5. Within each group of eight, the lowest–numbered macrocell
can only lend parallel expanders and the highest–numbered macrocell can
only borrow them. Figure 4 shows how parallel expanders can be
borrowed from a neighboring macrocell.

Unused product terms in a macrocell can be allocated to a neighboring macrocell.
Programmable Interconnect Array
Logic is routed between LABs on the PIA. This global bus is a
programmable path that connects any signal source to any destination on
the device. All MAX 3000A dedicated inputs, I/O pins, and macrocell
outputs feed the PIA, which makes the signals available throughout the
entire device. Only the signals required by each LAB are actually routed
from the PIA into the LAB. Figure 5 shows how the PIA signals are routed
into the LAB. An EEPROM cell controls one input to a two-input AND gate,
which selects a PIA signal to drive into the LAB.

Figure 5. MAX 3000A PIA Routing
While the routing delays of channel–based routing schemes in masked or
FPGAs are cumulative, variable, and path–dependent, the MAX 3000A
PIA has a predictable delay. The PIA makes a design’s timing
performance easy to predict.
I/O Control Blocks
The I/O control block allows each I/O pin to be individually configured
for input, output, or bidirectional operation. All I/O pins have a tri–state
buffer that is individually controlled by one of the global output enable
signals or directly connected to ground or VCC. Figure 6 shows the I/O
control block for MAX 3000A devices. The I/O control block has 6 or
10 global output enable signals that are driven by the true or complement
of two output enable signals, a subset of the I/O pins, or a subset of the
I/O macrocells.

When the tri–state buffer control is connected to ground, the output is
tri-stated (high impedance), and the I/O pin can be used as a dedicated
input. When the tri–state buffer control is connected to VCC, the output is
enabled.
The MAX 3000A architecture provides dual I/O feedback, in which
macrocell and pin feedbacks are independent. When an I/O pin is

logic.

In–System
Programma-
bility
MAX 3000A devices can be programmed in–system via an industry–
standard four–pin IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990 (JTAG) interface. In-system
programmability (ISP) offers quick, efficient iterations during design
development and debugging cycles. The MAX 3000A architecture
internally generates the high programming voltages required to program
its EEPROM cells, allowing in–system programming with only a single
3.3–V power supply. During in–system programming, the I/O pins are
tri–stated and weakly pulled–up to eliminate board conflicts. The pull–up
value is nominally 50 kΩ.
MAX 3000A devices have an enhanced ISP algorithm for faster
programming. These devices also offer an ISP_Done bit that ensures safe
operation when in–system programming is interrupted. This ISP_Done
bit, which is the last bit programmed, prevents all I/O pins from driving
until the bit is programmed.
ISP simplifies the manufacturing flow by allowing devices to be mounted
on a printed circuit board (PCB) with standard pick–and–place equipment
before they are programmed. MAX 3000A devices can be programmed by
downloading the information via in–circuit testers, embedded processors,
the MasterBlaster communications cable, the ByteBlasterMV parallel port
download cable, and the BitBlaster serial download cable. Programming
the devices after they are placed on the board eliminates lead damage on
high–pin–count packages (e.g., QFP packages) due to device handling.
MAX 3000A devices can be reprogrammed after a system has already
shipped to the field. For example, product upgrades can be performed in
the field via software or modem.
The Jam STAPL programming and test language can be used to program
MAX 3000A devices with in–circuit testers, PCs, or embedded processors.
fFor more information on using the Jam STAPL programming and test
language, see Application Note 88 (Using the Jam Language for ISP & ICR via
an Embedded Processor), Application Note 122 (Using Jam STAPL for ISP &
ICR via an Embedded Processor) and AN 111 (Embedded Programming Using
the 8051 and Jam Byte-Code).
The ISP circuitry in MAX 3000A devices is compliant with the IEEE Std.
1532 specification. The IEEE Std. 1532 is a standard developed to allow
concurrent ISP between multiple PLD vendors.
14 Altera Corporation
MAX 3000A Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
Programming Sequence
During in-system programming, instructions, addresses, and data are
shifted into the MAX 3000A device through the TDI input pin. Data is
shifted out through the TDO output pin and compared against the
expected data.
Programming a pattern into the device requires the following six ISP
stages. A stand-alone verification of a programmed pattern involves only
stages 1, 2, 5, and 6.
1. Enter ISP. The enter ISP stage ensures that the I/O pins transition
smoothly from user mode to ISP mode. The enter ISP stage requires
1ms.
2. Check ID. Before any program or verify process, the silicon ID is
checked. The time required to read this silicon ID is relatively small
compared to the overall programming time.
3. Bulk Erase. Erasing the device in-system involves shifting in the
instructions to erase the device and applying one erase pulse of
100 ms.
4. Program. Programming the device in-system involves shifting in the
address and data and then applying the programming pulse to
program the EEPROM cells. This process is repeated for each
EEPROM address.
5. Verify. Verifying an Altera device in-system involves shifting in
addresses, applying the read pulse to verify the EEPROM cells, and
shifting out the data for comparison. This process is repeated for
each EEPROM address.
6. Exit ISP. An exit ISP stage ensures that the I/O pins transition
smoothly from ISP mode to user mode. The exit ISP stage requires
1ms.
Programming Times
The time required to implement each of the six programming stages can
be broken into the following two elements:
■A pulse time to erase, program, or read the EEPROM cells.
■A shifting time based on the test clock (TCK) frequency and the
number of TCK cycles to shift instructions, address, and data into the
device.
Altera Corporation 15
MAX 3000A Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
By combining the pulse and shift times for each of the programming
stages, the program or verify time can be derived as a function of the TCK
frequency, the number of devices, and specific target device(s). Because
different ISP-capable devices have a different number of EEPROM cells,
both the total fixed and total variable times are unique for a single device.
Programming a Single MAX 3000A Device
The time required to program a single MAX 3000A device in-system can
be calculated from the following formula:
where: tPROG = Programming time
tPPULSE = Sum of the fixed times to erase, program, and
verify the EEPROM cells
CyclePTCK = Number of TCK cycles to program a device
fTCK =TCK frequency
The ISP times for a stand-alone verification of a single MAX 3000A device
can be calculated from the following formula:
where: tVER =Verify time
tVPULSE = Sum of the fixed times to verify the EEPROM cells
CycleVTCK = Number of TCK cycles to verify a device

Programming
with External
Hardware
MAX 3000A devices can be programmed on Windows–based PCs with an
Altera Logic Programmer card, MPU, and the appropriate device adapter.
The MPU performs continuity checking to ensure adequate electrical
contact between the adapter and the device.
fFor more information, see the Altera Programming Hardware Data Sheet.
The Altera software can use text– or waveform–format test vectors created
with the Altera Text Editor or Waveform Editor to test the programmed
device. For added design verification, designers can perform functional
testing to compare the functional device behavior with the results of
simulation.
Data I/O, BP Microsystems, and other programming hardware
manufacturers also provide programming support for Altera devices.
fFor more information, see Programming Hardware Manufacturers.
IEEE Std.
1149.1 (JTAG)
Boundary–Scan
Support
MAX 3000A devices include the JTAG BST circuitry defined by IEEE
Std. 1149.1–1990. Table 7 describes the JTAG instructions supported by
MAX 3000A devices. The pin-out tables found on the Altera web site
(http://www.altera.com) or the Altera Digital Library show the location of
the JTAG control pins for each device. If the JTAG interface is not
required, the JTAG pins are available as user I/O pins.
Table 7. MAX 3000A JTAG Instructions
JTAG Instruction Description
SAMPLE/PRELOAD Allows a snapshot of signals at the device pins to be captured and examined during
normal device operation, and permits an initial data pattern output at the device pins
EXTEST Allows the external circuitry and board–level interconnections to be tested by forcing a
test pattern at the output pins and capturing test results at the input pins
BYPASS Places the 1–bit bypass register between the TDI and TDO pins, which allows the BST
data to pass synchronously through a selected device to adjacent devices during normal
device operation
IDCODE Selects the IDCODE register and places it between the TDI and TDO pins, allowing the
IDCODE to be serially shifted out of TDO
USERCODE Selects the 32–bit USERCODE register and places it between the TDI and TDO pins,
allowing the USERCODE value to be shifted out of TDO
ISP Instructions These instructions are used when programming MAX 3000A devices via the JTAG ports
with the MasterBlaster, ByteBlasterMV, or BitBlaster cable, or when using a Jam STAPL
file, JBC file, or SVF file via an embedded processor or test equipment

MAX 3000A Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
Programmable
Speed/Power
Control
MAX 3000A devices offer a power–saving mode that supports low-power
operation across user–defined signal paths or the entire device. This
feature allows total power dissipation to be reduced by 50% or more
because most logic applications require only a small fraction of all gates to
operate at maximum frequency.
The designer can program each individual macrocell in a MAX 3000A
device for either high–speed or low–power operation. As a result,
speed-critical paths in the design can run at high speed, while the
remaining paths can operate at reduced power. Macrocells that run at low
power incur a nominal timing delay adder (tLPA) for the tLAD, tLAC, tIC,
tACL, tEN, tCPPW and tSEXP parameters.
Output
Configuration
MAX 3000A device outputs can be programmed to meet a variety of
system–level requirements.
MultiVolt I/O Interface
The MAX 3000A device architecture supports the MultiVolt I/O interface
feature, which allows MAX 3000A devices to connect to systems with
differing supply voltages. MAX 3000A devices in all packages can be set
for 2.5–V, 3.3–V, or 5.0–V I/O pin operation. These devices have one set of
VCC pins for internal operation and input buffers (VCCINT), and another
set for I/O output drivers (VCCIO).
The VCCIO pins can be connected to either a 3.3–V or 2.5–V power supply,
depending on the output requirements. When the VCCIO pins are
connected to a 2.5–V power supply, the output levels are compatible with
2.5–V systems. When the VCCIO pins are connected to a 3.3–V power
supply, the output high is at 3.3 V and is therefore compatible with 3.3-V
or 5.0–V systems. Devices operating with VCCIO levels lower than 3.0 V
incur a nominally greater timing delay of tOD2 instead of tOD1. Inputs can
always be driven by 2.5–V, 3.3–V, or 5.0–V signals.
Table 11 summarizes the MAX 3000A MultiVolt I/O support.
Note:
(1) When VCCIO is 3.3 V, a MAX 3000A device can drive a 2.5–V device that has 3.3–V
tolerant inputs.

MAX 3000A Programmable Logic Device Family Data Sheet
Open–Drain Output Option
MAX 3000A devices provide an optional open–drain (equivalent to
open-collector) output for each I/O pin. This open–drain output enables
the device to provide system–level control signals (e.g., interrupt and
write enable signals) that can be asserted by any of several devices. It can
also provide an additional wired–OR plane.
Open-drain output pins on MAX 3000A devices (with a pull-up resistor to
the 5.0-V supply) can drive 5.0-V CMOS input pins that require a high VIH.
When the open-drain pin is active, it will drive low. When the pin is
inactive, the resistor will pull up the trace to 5.0 V, thereby meeting CMOS
requirements. The open-drain pin will only drive low or tri-state; it will
never drive high. The rise time is dependent on the value of the pull-up
resistor and load impedance. The IOL current specification should be
considered when selecting a pull-up resistor
Slew–Rate Control
The output buffer for each MAX 3000A I/O pin has an adjustable output
slew rate that can be configured for low–noise or high–speed
performance. A faster slew rate provides high–speed transitions for
high-performance systems. However, these fast transitions may introduce
noise transients into the system. A slow slew rate reduces system noise,
but adds a nominal delay of 4 to 5 ns. When the configuration cell is
turned off, the slew rate is set for low–noise performance. Each I/O pin
has an individual EEPROM bit that controls the slew rate, allowing
designers to specify the slew rate on a pin–by–pin basis. The slew rate
control affects both the rising and falling edges of the output signal.
Design Security All MAX 3000A devices contain a programmable security bit that controls
access to the data programmed into the device. When this bit is
programmed, a design implemented in the device cannot be copied or
retrieved. This feature provides a high level of design security because
programmed data within EEPROM cells is invisible. The security bit that
controls this function, as well as all other programmed data, is reset only
when the device is reprogrammed.
Generic Testing MAX 3000A devices are fully tested. Complete testing of each
programmable EEPROM bit and all internal logic elements ensures 100%
programming yield. AC test measurements are taken under conditions
equivalent to those shown in Figure 8. Test patterns can be used and then
erased during early stages of the production flow.

Power supply transients can affect AC
measurements. Simultaneous transitions
of multiple outputs should be avoided for
accurate measurement. Threshold tests
must not be performed under AC
conditions. Large–amplitude, fast–
ground–current transients normally occur
as the device outputs discharge the load
capacitances. When these transients flow
through the parasitic inductance between
the device ground pin and the test system
ground, significant reductions in
observable noise immunity can result.

Notes to tables:
(1) See the Operating Requirements for Altera Devices Data Sheet.
(2) Minimum DC input voltage is –0.5 V. During transitions, the inputs may undershoot to –2.0 V or overshoot to
5.75 V for input currents less than 100 mA and periods shorter than 20 ns.
(3) All pins, including dedicated inputs, I/O pins, and JTAG pins, may be driven before VCCINT and VCCIO are
powered.
(4) These values are specified under the recommended operating conditions, as shown in Table 13 on page 23.
(5) The parameter is measured with 50% of the outputs each sourcing the specified current. The IOH parameter refers
to high–level TTL or CMOS output current.
(6) The parameter is measured with 50% of the outputs each sinking the specified current. The IOL parameter refers to
low–level TTL, PCI, or CMOS output current.
(7) This value is specified during normal device operation. During power-up, the maximum leakage current is
±300 μA.
(8) This pull–up exists while devices are programmed in–system and in unprogrammed devices during power–up.
(9) Capacitance is measured at 25° C and is sample–tested only. The OE1 pin (high–voltage pin during programming)
has a maximum capacitance of 20 pF.
(10) The POR time for all MAX 3000A devices does not exceed 100 μs. The sufficient VCCINT voltage level for POR is
3.0 V. The device is fully initialized within the POR time after VCCINT reaches the sufficient POR voltage level.
(11) These devices support in-system programming for –40° to 100° C. For in-system programming support between –40°
and 0° C, contact Altera Applications.

Timing Model MAX 3000A device timing can be analyzed with the Altera software, with
a variety of popular industry–standard EDA simulators and timing
analyzers, or with the timing model shown in Figure 10. MAX 3000A
devices have predictable internal delays that enable the designer to
determine the worst–case timing of any design. The software provides
timing simulation, point–to–point delay prediction, and detailed timing
analysis for device–wide performance evaluation.
Figure 10. MAX 3000A Timing Model
The timing characteristics of any signal path can be derived from the
timing model and parameters of a particular device. External timing
parameters, which represent pin–to–pin timing delays, can be calculated
as the sum of internal parameters. Figure 11 shows the timing relationship
between internal and external delay parameters.

Notes to tables:
(1) These values are specified under the recommended operating conditions, as shown in Table 13 on page 23. See
Figure 11 on page 27 for more information on switching waveforms.
(2) These values are specified for a PIA fan–out of one LAB (16 macrocells). For each additional LAB fan–out in these
devices, add an additional 0.1 ns to the PIA timing value.
(3) This minimum pulse width for preset and clear applies for both global clear and array controls. The tLPA parameter
must be added to this minimum width if the clear or reset signal incorporates the tLAD parameter into the signal
path.
(4) These parameters are measured with a 16–bit loadable, enabled, up/down counter programmed into each LAB.
(5) The tLPA parameter must be added to the tLAD, tLAC, tIC, tEN, tSEXP, tACL, and tCPPW parameters for macrocells
running in low–power mode.

Power
Consumption
Supply power (P) versus frequency (fMAX, in MHz) for MAX 3000A
devices is calculated with the following equation:
P = PINT + PIO = ICCINT × VCC + PIO
The PIO value, which depends on the device output load characteristics
and switching frequency, can be calculated using the guidelines given in
Application Note 74 (Evaluating Power for Altera Devices).
The ICCINT value depends on the switching frequency and the application
logic. The ICCINT value is calculated with the following equation:
ICCINT =
(A × MCTON) + [B × (MCDEV – MCTON)] + (C × MCUSED × fMAX × togLC)
The parameters in the ICCINT equation are:
MCTON = Number of macrocells with the Turbo BitTM option turned
on, as reported in the Quartus II or MAX+PLUS II Report
File (.rpt)
MCDEV = Number of macrocells in the device
MCUSED = Total number of macrocells in the design, as reported in
the RPT File
fMAX = Highest clock frequency to the device
togLC = Average percentage of logic cells toggling at each clock
(typically 12.5%)
A, B, C = Constants (shown in Table 26)
The ICCINT calculation provides an ICC estimate based on typical
conditions using a pattern of a 16–bit, loadable, enabled, up/down
counter in each LAB with no output load. Actual ICC should be verified
during operation because this measurement is sensitive to the actual
pattern in the device and the environmental operating conditions.
Figures 12 and 13 show the typical supply current versus frequency for
MAX 3000A devices.
