• Clocking and Timing Global clock network and Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) capability to support multiple clock domains and on-chip clock distribution.
• I/O Structure & Features 294 general-purpose I/O pins with support for programmable drive strength, slew-rate control, bus-hold, programmable pull-ups, series on‑chip termination, and high‑speed differential interfaces.
• Package & Mounting 484‑BGA package (supplier package: 484‑FBGA, 23×23) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board-level integration.
• Power & Environmental Core supply voltage range 1.15 V–1.25 V and industrial operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Control Implement motor control, PLC logic, and machine-interface functions using the device’s sizable logic and I/O resources alongside industrial temperature ratings.
• Embedded Signal Processing Use embedded multipliers and on-chip RAM for fixed-point DSP tasks, filtering, and data buffering in compact FPGA-based accelerators.
• Communications Interfaces Leverage high-speed differential I/O and flexible I/O standards to implement protocol bridging, SERDES-lite interfaces, and custom transceiver logic.
• Custom Embedded Systems Create glue logic, bus bridging, and control subsystems that require abundant I/O and moderate logic capacity in a single package.

Unique Advantages

• High logic capacity: 50,528 logic elements enable complex state machines, control logic, and moderate-density custom datapaths without external ASICs.
• Integrated memory and DSP support: Approximately 0.59 Mbits of embedded RAM plus embedded multipliers simplify implementation of buffering and arithmetic functions on chip.
• Flexible, high-density I/O: 294 I/O pins with programmable drive, terminations, and differential support reduces external components and eases interface design.
• Robust clocking options: Global clock networks and PLLs in the Cyclone II family support multi-domain clocking and synchronized system timing.
• Industrial-ready operation: −40 °C to 100 °C operating range and RoHS compliance support deployment in industrial environments.
• Compact BGA package: 484‑FBGA (23×23) surface-mount package minimizes PCB area while providing substantial I/O and logic resources.
