• I/O and High-Speed Interfaces  296 user I/Os arranged in modular banks with support for high-speed differential signaling and SERDES features described for the Stratix III family.
• Clocking and PLLs  Device family support for multiple global, regional, and peripheral clocks plus up to 12 PLLs enables flexible clock-domain management.
• Power Management  Selectable core voltage and Programmable Power Technology (family features) enable trade-offs between power consumption and performance within the specified 0.86 V to 1.15 V supply range.
• Security and Reliability  Family supports optional 256-bit AES configuration encryption and configuration memory integrity features such as CRC and ECC for increased design protection and reliability.
• Package and Mounting  484-ball BBGA / FCBGA package (supplier device package: 484-FBGA 23×23), surface-mount mounting type for compact board integration.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C to meet demanding environmental requirements.
• Standards and Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-performance signal processing  DSP-rich Stratix III family features and the device’s logic and memory resources support FIR filters, FFTs, and real-time processing pipelines.
• Networking and communications  High-speed differential I/O capabilities and SERDES support make the device suitable for packet processing, line cards, and protocol bridging.
• Memory controllers and interfaces  On-chip memory and modular I/O banks enable implementation of DDR/DDR2/DDR3 and other external-memory interfaces supported by the Stratix III family.
• Embedded systems and prototyping  Integrated logic density, memory, and family-level support for the Nios® II embedded processor and megafunctions facilitate system-on-chip prototyping and custom embedded designs.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced resource mix: 47,500 logic elements with substantial embedded memory enable both control and data-path functions within a single device, reducing external components.
• Configurable power/performance: Selectable core voltage and Programmable Power Technology allow designers to tune power and performance to application needs within the 0.86–1.15 V supply window.
• Robust I/O flexibility: 296 I/Os in modular banks provide flexible signaling options and support for a wide range of interface standards described for the Stratix III family.
• Industrial operating range: −40 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in temperature-demanding environments.
• Security and integrity features: Family-level AES configuration encryption, CRC, and ECC options help protect configuration data and improve system availability.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 484-ball FCBGA package (23×23) balances board-area efficiency with I/O density for space-constrained designs.
