The device combines the Stratix IV architecture features with a high logic element count and substantial embedded memory to support demanding connectivity and processing tasks.

Targeted at commercial applications, this FPGA provides a balance of logic capacity, memory, and I/O density—making it suitable for designs that require high I/O counts, broad protocol support, and extensive programmable logic while operating within standard commercial temperature and supply ranges.

Key Features

• Core architecture — Stratix IV family: Device handbook references include architecture features such as high-speed transceivers, digital signal processing (DSP) blocks, PLLs, and clock networks for advanced system integration.
• Logic capacity: 813,050 logic elements to implement large-scale logic, custom datapaths, and control logic.
• Embedded memory: Approximately 34 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, frame storage, and local data processing.
• I/O and connectivity: 976 I/O pins to support dense external interfaces and board-level connectivity; device handbook highlights high-speed differential I/O and broad protocol support.
• Package and mounting: 1517-BBGA (FCBGA) package case with supplier device package 1517-HBGA (45×45); surface-mount mounting for PCB integration.
• Power supply: Core voltage supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV.
• Operating conditions and compliance: Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C; RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed serial interfaces and protocol bridging: Leverages the Stratix IV high-speed transceiver features and broad protocol support for multi-protocol connectivity and data transport.
• Real-time DSP and signal processing: Uses the large logic fabric and documented DSP block support for filtering, transforms, and real-time processing pipelines.
• External memory interfaces and buffering: Combines embedded memory and the device family’s external memory interface features for high-throughput memory subsystems.
• Data aggregation and switching: High I/O count and clock-network capabilities enable aggregation, packet processing, and timing-sensitive switching functions.

Unique Advantages

• Highly scalable programmable fabric: 813,050 logic elements allow consolidation of multiple functions into a single device, reducing system complexity.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 34 Mbits of embedded RAM to minimize external memory dependence and accelerate data-path operations.
• Extensive connectivity: 976 I/O pins provide the pin count needed for parallel interfaces, wide buses, and dense peripheral routing.
• Advanced Stratix IV features: Device handbook coverage of high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, PLLs, and clock networks supports performance-oriented designs and signal integrity strategies.
• Board-ready package: 1517-HBGA (45×45) BGA family package and surface-mount mounting ease integration into compact, high-density PCBs.
• Commercial deployment ready: RoHS compliance and a 0 °C to 85 °C operating range align the device with mainstream commercial product requirements.
