2. Device Migration Overview

You can perform device migration between the HF35 package of the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 400 and Intel® Stratix® 10 SX 400 to Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 650 and Intel® Stratix® 10 SX 650. You must consider the following device migration guidelines during the early board designing stage to ensure the migration compatibility.
  • Power rail design
    • VCCIO pins for the devices
    • VREFB3[A,B,C,D]N0
  • I/O pin function
    • Pin location and pin function
    • I/O features such as I/O standards and its supported features
  • Intel® Quartus® Prime design
    • Migratable Intel® Quartus® Prime design per I/O pin function availability.

The board design must include the features planned for the target device migration to avoid board re-designing.

The following table provides an overview of the migratable and non-migratable I/O banks. I/O banks 2K, 2L, 2M, 2N, and 3B are fully compatible and you can freely migrate the design to the target device. However, banks 3A and 3D are partially compatible as only selected I/O standard and I/O pin count are supported.

Table 1.  Migratable and Non-Migratable I/O Banks
I/O Bank Migration Condition
2K Fully compatible for all single-ended and differential I/O standard.
2L
2M
2N
3A Partially compatible for single-ended non-voltage reference signals and non-LVDS SERDES differential I/O (LVDS I/O standard works only for a dedicated reference clock pin).
3B Fully compatible for all single-ended and differential I/O standards.
3C Incompatible.
3D Partially compatible for single-ended non-voltage reference signals and non-LVDS SERDES differential I/O (LVDS I/O standard works only for a dedicated reference clock pin). Only 30 I/O pins are available in the HF35 package of the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 400 and Intel® Stratix® 10 SX 400 devices.

The table below shows the supported I/O standard comparison between the HF35 package of Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 400/ Intel® Stratix® 10 SX 400 and Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 650/ Intel® Stratix® 10 SX650 devices. The supported feature for each I/O standard is available in the Intel® Stratix® 10 General Purpose I/O User Guide.

Bank Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 400/SX 400 (HF35 Package) Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 650/SX 650 (HF35 Package)
3A Supports 1.2V, 1.5V, and 1.8V single-ended and differential I/O standards, except for the EMIF applications and LVDS SERDES functions. The LVDS I/O standard is supported only in a dedicated reference clock pin for the reference clock function. Supports 1.2V, 1.5V, and 1.8V single-ended and differential I/O standards as stated in the Intel® Stratix® 10 General Purpose I/O User Guide.
3B Supports 1.2V, 1.5V, and 1.8V single-ended and differential I/O standards as stated in the Intel® Stratix® 10 General Purpose I/O User Guide. Supports 1.2V, 1.5V, and 1.8V single-ended and differential I/O standards as stated in the Intel® Stratix® 10 General Purpose I/O User Guide.
3C Supports 3.0V and 3.3V single-ended I/O standard only. Supports 1.2V, 1.5V, and 1.8V single-ended and differential I/O standards as stated in the Intel® Stratix® 10 General Purpose I/O User Guide.
3D Supports 1.8V single-ended I/O and differential I/O standards, except for the EMIF and LVDS functions. The LVDS I/O standard is supported only in a dedicated reference clock pin for the reference clock function. Supports 1.2V, 1.5V, and 1.8V single-ended and differential I/O standards as stated in the Intel® Stratix® 10 General Purpose I/O User Guide.

There are a total of 30 pins in bank 3D of the HF35 package in the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 400/SX400 which are fanned out to package. The following table shows the pin location comparison for the HF35 package of the Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 400/SX 400 and Intel® Stratix® 10 GX 650/SX 650 devices. You must fully understand the compatibility of the I/O pins for migration before deciding which pin to use in your design.
