Design Guidelines
This section provides guidelines for designing with Cyclone IV devices.
Differential Pad Placement Guidelines
To maintain an acceptable noise level on the V
CCIO
supply, you must observe some
restrictions on the placement of single-ended I/O pins in relation to differential pads.

For guidelines on placing single-ended pads with respect to differential pads in
Cyclone IV devices, refer to
“Pad Placement and DC Guidelines” on page 6–23 .
Input jitter tolerance (peak-to-peak) —
Allowed input jitter on the input clock to the PLL that is tolerable
while maintaining PLL lock.
Output jitter (peak-to-peak) — Peak-to-peak output jitter from the PLL.
Note to Table 6–11 :
(1) The TCCS specification applies to the entire bank of differential I/O as long as the SERDES logic is placed in the logic array block (LAB) adjacent
to the output pins.
