• Embedded memory  Approximately 12.0 Mbits of on‑chip RAM for FIFOs, buffers and local storage.
• I/O and transceivers  372 user I/Os and support in the Arria II family for full‑duplex CDR‑based transceivers (family-level support up to 24 transceivers and data rates up to 6.375 Gbps).
• Interfaces and protocol support  Family architecture provides hard and soft IP support for common serial and parallel interfaces including PCIe, Ethernet and DDR3 (refer to Intel Arria II documentation for available IP options).
• Power and voltage  Nominal core voltage range 870 mV to 930 mV enabling low‑voltage system designs.
• Package & mounting  780‑FBGA (29 × 29 mm) FCBGA package, surface‑mount for compact PCB integration.
• Industrial temperature rating  Qualified for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in industrial environments.
• Design ecosystem  Supported by the Arria II device family design flows and Intel tools for integration of hard and soft IP (see Intel Arria II documentation for tool support).
• RoHS compliant  Device meets RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed networking & telecom  Use the device where multi‑Gbps serial links and protocol IP (PCIe, Ethernet, CPRI and others in the Arria II family) are required for line cards, aggregation and backplane interfaces.
• Storage and connectivity  Implement storage controllers and protocol bridges that leverage large logic capacity, substantial on‑chip RAM and high I/O counts.
• Video and broadcast processing  Deploy for SD/HD/3G video interface processing and transport where deterministic I/O and embedded memory are needed for buffering and timing.
• Industrial control and automation  Industrial temperature rating and flexible I/O make the device suitable for control systems, motor control interfaces and real‑time signal handling.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 244,188 logic elements enable large, integrated designs and reduce the need for multi‑chip implementations.
• Significant on‑chip RAM: Approximately 12.0 Mbits of embedded memory for local buffering, FIFOs and memory‑intensive algorithms.
• Broad protocol support: Arria II family support for PCIe, Ethernet, DDR3 and multiple serial protocols simplifies integration of common system interfaces.
• Industrial operating range: −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in harsh and industrial environments.
• Compact BGA package: 780‑FBGA (29 × 29 mm) surface‑mount package delivers high pin count in a compact footprint for dense PCBs.
• Low‑voltage core: 870–930 mV supply range supports power‑sensitive designs and system power optimization.
