• Embedded Memory — Approximately 17.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, packetization and intermediate storage for streaming and processing tasks.
• I/O Capacity — 372 I/O pins for broad interfacing options to peripherals, memory and high-density connectors.
• Stratix IV Architecture — Includes the Stratix IV device family features described in the handbook, such as high-speed transceiver capabilities, DSP blocks and advanced clocking/PLL functionality.
• Package & Mounting — 780-ball FCBGA (29×29) package for compact board-level integration; surface-mount design.
• Power & Voltage — Core supply range specified at 0.870 V to 0.930 V to match Stratix IV power domains.
• Operating Range — Commercial temperature rating from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑Speed Communications — Use the Stratix IV transceiver and large logic fabric to implement protocol processing, packet aggregation and interface bridging in networking equipment.
• Digital Signal Processing — Leverage the device’s DSP capabilities and embedded RAM for real‑time DSP tasks such as filtering, transforms and signal conditioning.
• Memory Interface and Bridging — High I/O count and on-chip RAM make the device suitable for external memory controllers, wide parallel interfaces and buffering logic.
• Board‑Level Prototyping and Integration — The 780‑FBGA package and surface-mount footprint support compact, production-oriented board designs requiring dense FPGA resources.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 228,000 logic elements enable implementation of large, multi‑function designs without partitioning across multiple FPGAs.
• Substantial On‑Chip Memory: Approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce external memory dependence for many buffering and streaming functions.
• Large I/O Complement: 372 I/Os provide flexibility for wide data buses, multi‑lane interfaces and numerous peripheral connections.
• Proven Stratix IV Feature Set: Architecture-level features such as high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks and PLL/clock resources (as described in the Stratix IV handbook) support high‑performance system designs.
• Compact, Production-Friendly Package: 780‑ball FCBGA (29×29) and surface-mount mounting support dense board layouts and automated assembly.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C with RoHS compliance for standard commercial deployments.
