• Embedded Memory — Approximately 13.95 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, frame storage, and intermediate data storage for compute pipelines.
• I/O Density — 744 user I/Os for wide external connectivity and parallel interfaces.
• Stratix IV Architecture Features — Built on the Stratix IV GX family architecture with documented support for high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, clock networks and PLLs as part of the device family capabilities.
• Power and Supply — Core voltage supply range from 870 mV to 930 mV to match target system power rails.
• Package and Mounting — 1517-BBGA (FCBGA) package, supplier device package 1517-FBGA (40×40); surface-mountable for board-level integration.
• Temperature and Grade — Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed communications and networking — Uses the Stratix IV family’s high-speed transceiver and protocol support to implement packet processing, protocol bridging, and interface aggregation.
• Digital signal processing — Leverages abundant logic and approximately 13.95 Mbits of embedded memory along with DSP-oriented architecture elements for filtering, transform and realtime processing tasks.
• External memory interface systems — High I/O count supports wide memory buses and complex external memory interfacing for bandwidth‑intensive applications.
• System integration and prototyping — Large logic capacity and flexible clocking/PLLs enable integration of multiple subsystems and rapid design iteration.

Unique Advantages

• High logic capacity: 175,750 logic elements provide the headroom needed for large FPGA designs and multi-module integration on a single device.
