Maximum operating frequency of MAX10

Sorry for the beginner's question. I am using MAX10 (10M04SAU324I7G). This is a single power supply device. If I input a single-ended clock to this device and output it as it is, what is the maxi...

    As per the datasheet, the max fOUT for -7 speed grade device is 450MHz. However, as per the note 29 in the datasheet, the fIN parameter is limited in the Quartus by maximum I/O frequency which is different for each I/O standard. Recommend to run the Timing Analysis and perform IBIS simulation to understand the maximum achievable frequency for your system.


    In my opinion, 200MHz should be easily achievable.
