• Logic Array Blocks — Built from a fabric architecture consistent with Stratix IV GX devices and documented in the Stratix IV Device Handbook, supporting sophisticated logic partitioning and timing strategies.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 13.95 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, frame storage, and scratch memory without external devices.
• I/O Capacity — 744 I/O pins to accommodate wide buses, multiple peripheral interfaces and dense external connectivity.
• High-Speed Interfaces — Device handbook notes high-speed transceiver features, wide protocol support and external memory interface capabilities suitable for high-throughput designs.
• Clocking and DSP — Includes dedicated clock networks, PLLs and documented DSP block support in the Stratix IV family for deterministic timing and signal processing tasks.
• Power — Core voltage range specified at 870 mV to 930 mV for defined power-rail planning.
• Package & Mounting — Package case: 1517-BBGA, FCBGA; supplier device package: 1517-FBGA (40×40). Surface-mount mounting type for standard board assembly processes.
• Operating Range & Grade — Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-Bandwidth Communications — Leverage the Stratix IV GX high-speed transceiver features and wide protocol support for line cards, transport and backplane interfacing.
• Networking and Packet Processing — High logic density and abundant I/O enable complex packet handling, traffic management and protocol acceleration functions.
• Video and Imaging Systems — Large on-chip RAM and DSP resources support frame buffering, preprocessing and real-time pipeline operations.
• High-Speed Interface Bridging — Use the device’s extensive I/O and external memory interface capabilities to bridge between multiple high-speed peripherals and memory subsystems.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Capacity: 175,750 logic elements let you integrate large functions and multiple subsystems on a single device, reducing board-level complexity.
