It provides a high logic capacity and significant embedded memory, making it suitable for high-bandwidth, signal-processing and system-integration applications within industrial operating environments.

As a member of the Stratix IV GX family, the device targets designs that require large programmable logic resources, extensive I/O, and on-chip memory while operating across an industrial temperature range and low-voltage supply window.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 175,750 logic elements providing substantial programmable fabric for complex digital logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 13.95 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, buffering engines, and memory-intensive logic.
• I/O Density — 744 user I/O pins to support broad peripheral and high-pin-count interface requirements.
• Stratix IV GX Family Features — Family-level capabilities include high-speed transceiver features, DSP blocks, PLLs, clock networks, and support for high-speed differential I/O with DPA and Soft-CDR as documented in the Stratix IV device handbook.
• Power — Defined core voltage supply range from 870 mV to 930 mV for the device core.
• Package & Mounting — 1517-BBGA (supplier package: 1517-FBGA, 40×40) in a surface-mount format for dense board implementations.
• Industrial Grade Temperature — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C, suited to industrial temperature environments.
• Diagnostics & System Integration — The Stratix IV documentation references diagnostic features, external memory interface support, and system-level integration facilities for complex designs.

Typical Applications

• High-Bandwidth Communications — Deploy transceiver and I/O resources to implement high aggregate data bandwidth links and protocol interfaces.
• Digital Signal Processing — Use embedded DSP blocks and on-chip RAM for real-time signal processing and filtering pipelines.
• External Memory Interfaces — Implement controllers and interface logic for external memory systems leveraging on-chip memory and clocking resources.
• System Integration & Prototyping — Integrate complex logic, multiple interfaces, and clocking networks for system-level prototypes and industrial control platforms.
