Introduction
AC Timing Specifications
Figures 9–7 through 9–9 and Tables 9–4 through 9–6 illustrate the timing
characteristics of SFI-4 at the framer. Stratix and Stratix GX devices
support all the timing requirements needed to support transmitter and
receiver functions of a SFI-4 framer; only framer-related timing
specifications are applicable.
f For details on the timing specifications of LVDS I/O standards in Stratix
and Stratix GX devices, see the Stratix Device Family Data Sheet section of
the Stratix Device Handbook, Volume 1 and the High-Speed Differential I/O
Interfaces in Stratix Devices chapter or the Stratix GX Device Family Data
Sheet section of the Stratix GX Device Handbook, Volume 1 and the High-
Speed Differential I/O Interfaces in Stratix Devices chapter
Figure 9–7 shows the timing diagram for the Stratix and Stratix GX
framer transmitter × 1 (622 MHz clock) mode.
