Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 50,528 logic elements across 3,158 LABs to implement medium- to large-scale custom logic and state machines.
• On-Chip Memory — Approximately 0.594 Mbits of embedded RAM for buffers, FIFOs, and small data stores.
• I/O Resources — 294 I/O pins with support for a range of I/O features referenced in the Cyclone II documentation, suitable for multiple peripheral and bus interfaces.
• Power Supply — Core supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match system power rails and maintain predictable core operation.
• Package & Mounting — 484-FBGA (supplier package: 484-UBGA 19×19) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board integration.
• Industrial Grade — Rated for an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C for industrial environments.
• Family-Level Architecture — Cyclone II family features documented in the device handbook include a global clock network, PLLs, embedded multipliers, M4K memory blocks, configurable I/O standards, boundary-scan (JTAG), and configuration/testing facilities.
• Standards & Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting environmentally conscious manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Embedded Processing — Implement low-cost embedded processors, custom accelerators, and glue logic for industrial control systems.
• Digital Signal Processing — Use the device’s documented embedded multipliers and memory blocks for DSP tasks such as filtering and data aggregation.
• Interface Bridging — Consolidate multiple peripheral interfaces and protocol bridges using the available I/O resources and programmable logic.
• Industrial Control — Deploy in factory automation and machine control where the industrial temperature grade and surface-mount package are required.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 50,528 logic elements across 3,158 LABs provide substantial capacity to integrate multiple functions on a single device, reducing overall BOM.
