• Clocking and PLLs – Family features include multiple global, regional and peripheral clocks and up to 12 PLLs for flexible clock synthesis and distribution (family-level specifications apply).
• High-Speed I/O Support – Family-level support for high-speed differential I/O, SERDES and dynamic on-chip termination for improved signal integrity in fast interfaces.
• Security and Reliability – Stratix III family options include 256-bit AES configuration security, CRC for configuration memory and ECC protection for embedded memory blocks (family-level features).
• Commercial Grade – Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-Performance Signal Processing – Deploy the device’s large logic capacity and family DSP resources for FIR filters, FFTs and real-time processing pipelines.
• Networking and Communications – Use abundant I/O and high-speed differential interface support for protocol implementations, packet processing and line-rate interfacing.
• Memory Interface Controllers – Combine on-chip RAM and flexible clocking/PLLs to implement DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory controllers and buffering logic.
• Embedded Systems and Accelerators – Leverage the large logic fabric and embedded memory to implement custom accelerators, offload engines and complex control systems.

Unique Advantages

• High logic and memory density: Approximately 337,500 logic elements paired with ~18.8 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external components and shortens data paths on-chip.
• Flexible power/performance trade-offs: Selectable core voltage range (0.86 V–1.15 V) allows designers to tune device operation for performance or power savings.
• Extensive I/O in a compact package: 976 user I/Os in a 1517-FBGA (40×40) footprint enables rich system connectivity while maintaining board-level density.
• Family-level DSP and timing resources: Stratix III family DSP blocks, multiple clock domains and PLL resources provide the building blocks for demanding signal processing and timing-critical functions.
• Security and data integrity: Family features such as 256-bit AES configuration options, CRC and ECC improve configuration and memory robustness for deployed systems.
• Commercial-grade, RoHS compliant: Designed for commercial-temperature systems and compliant with RoHS environmental standards.
