Each Altera® device family has its own pin connection guidelines. Altera provides these guidelines only as recommendations. It is the responsibility of the designer to apply simulation results to the design to verify proper device functionality.
The pin connection guidelines are available for download in PDF format. You can view the PDF files in the Adobe Acrobat Reader software. You can open the PDF file on the Unix, Windows, or Macintosh operating systems.
