Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 - Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 I am looking for any information about pin delay, pin/package lenghts, pin propagation delays of a Cyclone V SE FPGA, UBGA672, necessary for proper length matching of DDR3 design.

Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 Hello, Thank you very much. I think that no further support will be necessary in this matter. Obviously neither the documentation nor the ibis model contains information about the individual pin delays. I am confident that our layout will work without taking these parameters into account, as this was not taken into account on any of the eval boards. Thanks again. Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 Thank you @sstrell for the input provided. May I know if you need more information/support on this request? Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 If the device handbook does not include this information or the IBIS file, it may be because FPGAs are completely customizable and the delay may be different depending on the design. You probably want to go through the EMIF documentation here to know what you need to do: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/programmable/683385/17-0/ddr2-and-ddr3-sdram-board-design-guidelines.html Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 According to the Altium layout software description, it should be possible to get the pin-delay-information from an IBIS file. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9CCjaTFCzs These delay values can be used and set for each pin of schematic symbols, and than can be considered in signal length matching within doing the pcb layout (especially for Data- and Address-Lanes of DDR3 routing). Other manufactures often provide the pin delay info in separate files or tables. But it seems the IBIS file for Cyclone V does not include any pin delay values; isn't it? Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 This is not how IBIS models are used. If you are planning on designing and building a custom board, you should know how to perform a board sim. Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 Hi. I've imported this IIBS model to the Symbol, but not one pin got a pin delay information from it. I also couldn't find any delay information within the *.ibs-files (search in a text reader). Only hint to some DiffPins --> NA (see screen shot) Maybe this parameter is not supported by this IBIS model? Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 Yes but you should be performing a board simulation using the IBIS model to have an accurate guide of what lengths you should be using on your board to guarantee timing and signal integrity. Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 --> 5CSEBA2U23C8N What I actually need is the total pin lengths of all the signal pins of "5CSEBA2U23C8N" (Cycone V SE FPGA). Is this information part of an IBIS model? Could it got extracted from IBIS? Replies: Re: Pin Delay information, Cyclone V SE, UBGA672 Hello. No, it's not a simulation. I want to create a PCB layout with exact length matching, especially for the DDR-bus. I need the pin/package lengths (i.e. the respective distance of a signal from the die to the ball) so that I can take these differences into account when matching from the solder pad onwards.
