7.5.3.3. Arria V I/O Elements

The I/O elements in Arria® V devices contain a bidirectional I/O buffer and I/O registers to support a complete embedded bidirectional SDR or DDR transfer.
The I/O registers are composed of the input path for handling data from the pin to the core, the output path for handling data from the core to the pin, and the output enable path for handling the output enable signal for the output buffer. Each path consists of a set of delay elements that allow you to fine-tune the timing characteristics of each path for skew management. By default, the Intel® Quartus® Prime software displays the used resources in blue and the unused resources in gray.
