stratix ii survive at high temperature 150?

Our device needs to survive in very harsh environment, the temperature might be 150 degree. Now I'm going to use military device, which support -55 to +125 degree. I would like to do timing analysis for the design, but there are only two models (4_slow MIN_IND_fast, I do now not the temperature for each model, how can I know the parameter of each model?), I can not set any other operating condition. Is it possible to do timing analysis at 150 degree? I mean to create my own timing model and analyze?

    You are right, it seems the only timing models available are -55°C and +125°C. You can't make you own timing model, you will probably have to constrain it at +125°C, add some extra margin in the fitter timing settings and run some tests yourself.

    I doubt that Altera will guarantee anything at this temperature, but you can always try and contact your local FAE and see if they have any extra information or advice.
