Key Features

• Core Logic Density 60,440 logic elements (cells) provide substantial programmable fabric for complex state machines, datapaths, and custom logic implementations.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 2.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, buffers, and local data storage without external memory for many functions.
• High I/O Count 718 user I/O pins support wide parallel interfaces and large connectivity requirements for board-level integration.
• Power and Voltage Core supply voltage range from 1.15 V to 1.25 V, enabling designs that follow Stratix II core power domains and supply planning.
• Package & Mounting 1020-ball FBGA (33×33) surface-mount package for compact, high-pin-count board designs.
• Operating Range & Compliance Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant construction.
• Stratix II Architecture Documentation Supported by the Stratix II Device Handbook and related Altera/Intel documentation for architecture, PLLs, I/O structure, and configuration options.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications Use the device’s large I/O count and Stratix II architecture to implement parallel interfaces, protocol bridging, and custom transceiver logic.
• Digital signal processing acceleration Leverage the Stratix II DSP-related architecture and on-chip memory to build custom DSP datapaths and accelerators.
