• Embedded Memory  Approximately 3.52 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, lookup tables, and local data storage.
• I/O Resources  156 dedicated I/O pins to support multiple peripheral interfaces and board-level connectivity.
• Core Voltage  Low-voltage core supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV, enabling designs optimized for power-sensitive core operation.
• Package & Mounting  358-LFBGA (358-UBGA, FCBGA) 17×17 package; surface-mount design suitable for compact PCB implementations.
• Temperature & Grade  Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, appropriate for standard commercial electronics environments.
• Standards & Compliance  RoHS compliant.
• Arria II Family Capabilities  Datasheet documentation for the Arria II family describes transceiver performance, programmable I/O element (IOE) delay, and programmable output buffer delay—features available within the Arria II GX device set.

Typical Applications

• High-speed serial and interface bridging  Leverages Arria II GX device family transceiver and I/O timing capabilities for designs requiring serial links or protocol interfacing such as PCI Express (PIPE) elements referenced in device documentation.
• Custom logic and prototyping  Use the device’s substantial logic elements and embedded RAM to implement algorithm acceleration, custom datapaths, and prototype systems with reconfigurable hardware.
• I/O-intensive control and interfacing  With 156 I/Os and programmable I/O behavior, integrate multiple sensors, peripherals, and board-level interfaces in space-constrained designs.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial programmable logic: 42,959 logic elements provide the headroom to implement complex designs without immediate migration to larger families.
• On-chip memory for local buffering: Approximately 3.52 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory dependence and improves system latency for many applications.
• Flexible I/O count: 156 I/Os enable diverse peripheral integration and multiple concurrent interfaces on a single device.
• Compact FCBGA package: 358-LFBGA (17×17) packaging supports high-density board designs while maintaining a surface-mount footprint.
• Power-optimized core operation: Narrow core voltage range (0.87–0.93 V) helps designers target efficient core power provisioning.
• Commercial operating range: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial deployments and environments.
