EP4CE22F 256 net length report not found

Dear Intel Altera,

Please add in the missing Cyclone IV report in the "AN 958: Board Design Guidelines"

Thanks,

Brian

    Hi BrianSune_Froum​ ,

    I can't comment on the pricing side. You may check with local sales for that. On the netlength report side, the Cyclone IVE and Cyclone III share the same netlength reports, hence it is not published separately.

    Uploading the required netlength report file, for your reference.

     

    Regards

    Hi,

    I am assuming that you are newly designing a board with Cyclone IV E part which is very old. May I know the intent of this request. Any reason of not considering latest FPGA families i.e. Agilex 3/5.

      A3 / A5 feature-wise are over kill so it is not required. C4 is up to 2040 under reports so no reason not to use it as it is very stable and easy to design.

      I need  the skew report because I want to minimize possible EMI under reflection.

      So no reason not to post an give on missing length report in the document.

      BTW COST is always the major reason to select a proper FPGA vs design.
      1 A3 FPGA = x2.5 cost so why waste extra cost on A3 product when C4 is feasible ?
