Metastability data

Where can I find more information on metastability for Cyclone or Stratix devices?

Hello fellow Ron,

Altera has data for the older generation families - FLEX 10K, etc. which I believe are on 0.50 micron TSMC process. The FIT data from this can be used as a ceiling for any new generation families you may use. The metastability rates diminish as process transistors shrink.
