Speed grades and timing analysis models

Hi, I understand that Arria 10 has 3 speed grades (1, 2, and 3) and I am using a -2 part 10AS066H3F34I2SG. However, I see 4 timing models in the Quartus timing analysis tool (fast 900mv 100oC, fast...

In order to be reliable, your design needs to meet timing at all four timing corners.

Hope that helps,
