The clock tree supports up to 400 MHz. Although the registered performance for these designs exceed 400 MHz,
they are limited by the clock tree limit.

Mercury devices include other features for performance such as quad-
port RAM, CAM, general purpose PLLs, and dedicated circuitry for
implementing multiplier circuits.
Configuration
The logic, circuitry, and interconnects in the Mercury architecture are
configured with CMOS SRAM elements. Mercury devices are
reconfigurable and are 100% tested prior to shipment. As a result, test
vectors do not have to be generated for fault coverage purposes. Instead,
the designer can focus on simulation and design verification. In addition,
the designer does not need to manage inventories of different ASIC
designs; Mercury devices can be configured on the board for the specific
functionality required.
Mercury devices are configured at system power-up with data stored in
an Altera
Altera offers in-system programmability (ISP)-capable configuration
devices, which configure Mercury devices via a serial data stream.
Mercury devices can be configured in under 70 ms. Moreover, Mercury
devices contain an optimized interface that permits microprocessors to
configure Mercury devices serially or in parallel, synchronously or
asynchronously. This interface also enables microprocessors to treat
Mercury devices as memory and to configure the device by writing to a
virtual memory location, simplifying reconfiguration.
