• Core Voltage — Selectable supply range from 860 mV to 1.15 V to tune power versus performance.
• Clocking and PLLs — Family-level support for up to 16 global clocks, 88 regional clocks and 116 peripheral clocks, plus up to 12 PLLs for flexible clock management.
• High-speed Memory Interface Support — Stratix III family support for external memory interfaces including DDR, DDR2, DDR3, RLDRAM II, QDR II and QDR II+ (family feature).
• DSP and Arithmetic Blocks — Family includes high-speed DSP blocks and multipliers suitable for multiply-accumulate and FIR filter implementations (family feature).
• Security and Reliability — Family-level options include 256-bit AES configuration key support and configuration memory error detection and ECC for on-chip memories (family feature).
• Operating Range and Compliance — Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance; surface-mount mounting type.

Typical Applications

• High-performance logic acceleration — Implement custom hardware acceleration for compute-intensive tasks using the device’s large logic resource pool and DSP capabilities.
• Digital signal processing (DSP) — Use the embedded memory and DSP blocks for FIR filters, real-time signal chains and multiply-accumulate workloads.
• High-speed communications — Leverage abundant I/O and family SERDES/PHY features to support networking and protocol bridging in telecom and data communications equipment.
• Embedded system prototyping — Combine programmable logic, on-chip memory and flexible clocking to prototype SoC functions and interconnect logic.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 80,000 logic elements provide headroom for complex implementations and multi-function designs.
• Significant on-chip memory: Approximately 6.84 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory dependence for buffering and data-path staging.
• Extensive I/O in a compact package: 488 I/O pins in a 780-ball FBGA (29×29) surface-mount package simplifies high-pin-count routing while retaining a compact footprint.
• Power vs. performance flexibility: Selectable core voltage (860 mV–1.15 V) enables tuning for lower power or higher performance as design needs dictate.
• Clocking and integration: Rich clocking resources and multiple PLLs support complex timing domains and high-speed clock management.
• Commercial readiness and compliance: RoHS compliant and specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for commercial product deployments.
