Agilex 3 ESD Protection

What is the ESD rating for A3CZ100BM16AE7S I/O pins (and HSIO true differential pins if they are different)? 

Do they require external ESD protection, and if so, are there any guidelines on selection of an appropriate device? 

I intend to use some of the true differential receiver/transmitters for LVDS comms on a 1.3V bank, and found the information shown below about maximum ratings and maximum overshoots implying the maximum voltage on those pins can't exceed ~1.75V, but finding an ESD diode which doesn't breakdown at 1.3V, and clamps before 1.75V is an impossible task, so what is an acceptable clamping voltage?

    Hi,

     

    May I know if you have any updates?

    Do you have a valid CNDA with Altera?

     

    If you wish to share the information, please share it with me through private message.

    Hi,

     

    Unfortunately, this is internal information.

    You will need to provide us with the CNDA number and your information first before I can provide the information to you.
