Quatus Prime Lite Setting up Operating Condition for FPGA Cyclone V

1. The number refer to the FPGA Fabric Speed Grade of the device selected.

2. No idea what does MIN stands for. Most likely minimum and it is not important to know.

Generally speaking, the slow timing model (what’s the slowest my design will run on the slowest device that met the speed grade, at the lowest voltage in spec and the highest temperature in spec) and the fast timing model(what’s the fastest my design will run on the fastest device, highest voltage and lowest temperature).

Ultimately, to ensure the reliability of your design, it is necessary to meet timing for all four timing corners.

The topic of timing models is quite complex, and I believe the best explanation can be found in the following document:
