Designed for high-bandwidth embedded systems and communications or signal-processing applications, this device combines extensive logic resources, flexible I/O, and Stratix IV family architecture features such as DSP blocks, PLLs and high-speed transceiver support as described in the Stratix IV device handbook.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 228,000 logic elements to implement large-scale combinational and sequential logic functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 17.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM (17,544,192 bits) for buffering, packet processing, and state storage.
• I/O Density — 488 user I/O pins to support wide external connectivity and diverse interface requirements.
• Stratix IV E Architecture — Device-family features include high-speed transceiver support, DSP blocks, clock networks and PLLs as documented in the Stratix IV device handbook.
• Power Supply — Core voltage supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV for compatibility with target power-rail designs.
• Package & Mounting — 780-ball FCBGA (29 × 29) surface-mount package (780-BBGA) for high-density board implementations.
• Industrial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in industrial environments.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing processes.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Communications — Use the device’s Stratix IV E architecture and high I/O count to implement protocol engines, packet processing, and transceiver interfacing.
• Signal Processing & DSP — Large logic capacity and embedded memory support complex DSP pipelines and buffering for real‑time processing tasks.
• Data Aggregation & Switching — High logic density and abundant I/O enable aggregation, switching logic, and custom packet-handling functions.
• Industrial Control Systems — Industrial temperature rating and robust package make it suitable for demanding factory and infrastructure control applications.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Integration: 228,000 logic elements reduce the need for multiple FPGAs or external glue logic, simplifying system architecture.
• Substantial On-Chip Memory: Approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded RAM supports large buffers, FIFOs and local storage without external memory dependency.
• Flexible I/O Resources: 488 I/Os support diverse external interfaces and parallel connectivity required by complex systems.
• Industrial Temperature Range: −40 °C to 100 °C operation enables deployment in harsh and temperature-variable environments.
• Compact, High-Density Package: 780-ball FCBGA (29 × 29) balances high pin count with a compact board footprint for space-constrained designs.
• Family-Level Architectural Benefits: Built on the Stratix IV E platform, benefiting from family features such as DSP blocks, PLLs and clock network capabilities documented in the device handbook.
