• High I/O Count  342 I/O pins to support wide parallel interfaces and multiple high-density peripheral connections.
• Package & Mounting  484-BBGA package (supplier package listed as 484-FBGA, 23×23) with surface-mount compatibility for compact board designs.
• Core Voltage  Core supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match system power rails and design requirements.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation suitable for commercial applications.
• Clocking & PLLs  Stratix II clock networks and PLLs for flexible clock management and distribution across the device.
• DSP & High-Speed I/O Support  Device architecture includes DSP-oriented resources and high-speed I/O features documented for Stratix II devices, enabling signal processing and fast data transfers.
• Configuration & Test Support  Supports IEEE Std. 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan and device configuration/test flows referenced in the Stratix II documentation.
• Regulatory Status  RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications  Implements protocol processing, data-path aggregation and custom packet handling where extensive I/O and programmable logic are required.
• Signal processing  Leverages on-chip DSP structures and embedded RAM for filtering, transforms and real-time data manipulation.
• External memory interfacing  Supports designs requiring complex external RAM interfaces and buffering, using on-chip memory and dedicated I/O resources.
• Prototyping and custom logic integration  Acts as a reprogrammable platform for validating IP, integrating multiple functions, and accelerating product development cycles.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 15,600 logic elements enable consolidation of multiple functions into a single device, reducing board complexity.
• Substantial on-chip buffering: Approximately 0.4 Mbits of embedded memory helps minimize external memory dependencies and shortens data paths.
• Extensive I/O resources: 342 I/O pins accommodate wide buses and multiple high-pin-count peripherals without multiplexing constraints.
• Flexible clocking and DSP support: Built-in PLLs and DSP-oriented architecture allow deterministic timing and efficient signal-processing implementations.
• Commercial-grade reliability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS-compliant for standard commercial deployments.
• Surface-mount, high-density package: 484-BBGA (484-FBGA, 23×23) enables compact PCB layouts and dense system integration.
