SPICE Models for Altera® FPGAs

SPICE Models for Altera® FPGAs

SPICE kits enable you to perform system-level simulations for various configurations that make use of Altera FPGAs. The SPICE kits provide models that support a wide variety of I/O features across process, voltage, and temperature (PVT). Each SPICE kit contains the following information:

  • Encrypted transistor and logic cell library models
  • Encrypted input/output buffer circuit models for single-ended and differential I/O
  • Single-ended and differential sample SPICE decks
  • User guide describing the model usage

Table 1 explains the File Revision Numbering Convention used for downloadable device models on this page.

Table 1. Device Models File Revision Numbering Convention

File Revision NumberingDescription
0.x silicon and file in development
1.x pre-silicon file data from silicon model only		The models are designated as "Preliminary" and have not been correlated against physical device operation.
2.x file correlated to actual silicon measurementsThe models are designated as "Correlated" and have been correlated against physical device operation.
3.x mature product, no more changes likelyThe models are designated as "Final" and have been correlated against physical device operation. There will not be any planned changes to the models.
