I/O Structure
Figure2–54.Stratix II IOE in DDR Output I/O Configuration Notes(1), (2)
Notes to Figure2–54:
(1)All input signals to the IOE can be inverted at the IOE.
(2)The tri-state buffer is active low. The DDIO megafunction represents the tri-state buffer as active-high with an
inverter at the OE register data port. Similarly, the aclr and apreset signals are also active-high at the input ports of the DDIO megafunction.
(3)The optional PCI clamp is only available on column I/O pins.

Stratix II Architecture Figure2–55.Output TIming Diagram in DDR Mode
The Stratix II IOE operates in bidirectional DDR mode by combining the
DDR input and DDR output configurations. The negative-edge-clocked
OE register holds the OE signal inactive until the falling edge of the clock.
This is done to meet DDR SDRAM timing requirements.
External RAM Interfacing
In addition to the six I/O registers in each IOE, Stratix II devices also have
dedicated phase-shift circuitry for interfacing with external memory
interfaces. Stratix II devices support DDR and DDR2 SDRAM, QDR II
SRAM, RLDRAM II, and SDR SDRAM memory interfaces. In every
Stratix II device, the I/O banks at the top (banks 3 and 4) and bottom
(banks 7 and 8) of the device support DQ and DQS signals with DQ bus
modes of ×4, ×8/×9, ×16/×18, or ×32/×36. Table2–14 shows the number
of DQ and DQS buses that are supported per device.

On-Chip Parallel Termination with Calibration
Stratix II devices support on-chip parallel termination with calibration for
column I/O pins only. There is one calibration circuit for the top I/O
banks and one circuit for the bottom I/O banks. Each on-chip parallel
termination calibration circuit compares the total impedance of each I/O
buffer to the external 50-Ω resistors connected to the RUP and RDN pins
and dynamically enables or disables the transistors until they match.
Calibration occurs at the end of device configuration. Once the calibration
circuit finds the correct impedance, it powers down and stops changing
the characteristics of the drivers.
1On-chip parallel termination with calibration is only supported for input pins.

devices, refer to the Selectable I/O Standards in Stratix II & Stratix II GX

MultiVolt I/O Interface
The Stratix II architecture supports the MultiVolt I/O interface feature
that allows Stratix II devices in all packages to interface with systems of
different supply voltages.
The Stratix II VCCINT pins must always be connected to a 1.2-V power
supply. With a 1.2-V V CCINT level, input pins are 1.5-, 1.8-, 2.5-, and3.3-V
tolerant. The VCCIO pins can be connected to either a 1.5-, 1.8-, 2.5-, or
3.3-V power supply, depending on the output requirements. The output
levels are compatible with systems of the same voltage as the power
supply (for example, when VCCIO pins are connected to a 1.5-V power
supply, the output levels are compatible with 1.5-V systems).
The Stratix II VCCPD power pins must be connected to a 3.3-V power
supply. These power pins are used to supply the pre-driver power to the
output buffers, which increases the performance of the output pins. The
VCCPD pins also power configuration input pins and JTAG input pins.
