• Stratix II GX Architecture  Includes family-level features such as high-speed serial transceivers with clock and data recovery (CDR) and SERDES capability enabling serial data rates up to 6.375 Gbps per channel.
• Configurable Transceiver Features  Family-level transceiver attributes include dynamic VOD and pre-emphasis, selectable on-chip termination, adaptive equalization, and power-down control for link management.
• Clocking and DSP  Stratix II GX architecture supports multiple global and regional clock networks plus high-speed DSP block capabilities for arithmetic-intensive functions (as described in the Stratix II GX device documentation).
• Package and Mount  1508-BBGA (FCBGA) surface-mount package; supplier device package listed as 1508-FBGA, FC (40×40).
• Power and Temperature  Core voltage range 1.15 V to 1.25 V; commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and Compliance  RoHS-compliant device.

Typical Applications

• High-speed Networking  Implements protocol bridging, packet processing, and serializer/deserializer tasks using the Stratix II GX transceiver capabilities and dense logic fabric.
• Backplane and Board-level Interconnect  Supports high-throughput backplane interfaces and chip-to-chip links with abundant I/O and embedded memory for buffering and alignment.
• Communications Equipment  Suitable for designs requiring configurable serial links and on-chip DSP/multiplier resources for signal processing functions.
• Memory Interface and Buffering  On-chip RAM and wide I/O enable implementation of external-memory controllers, FIFOs, and data-path buffering in complex systems.

Unique Advantages

• Large Programmable Fabric:  90,960 logic elements provide headroom for complex state machines, protocol stacks, and custom accelerators.
• Significant Embedded Memory:  Approximately 4.52 Mbits of on-chip RAM reduces external memory dependence for buffering and real-time data handling.
• High I/O Count:  650 I/O pins simplify integration of wide parallel interfaces and multiple high-speed channels on a single device.
• High-speed Serial Capability (Series-level):  Stratix II GX transceiver technology supports CDR and SERDES up to 6.375 Gbps per channel, enabling modern serial protocols and link speeds.
• Commercial Temperature Range:  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to align with commercial product requirements.
• RoHS Compliant:  Meets environmental regulations for lead-free assembly and shipment.
