Designed for applications that require high aggregate data bandwidth, advanced I/O and on‑chip resources, this commercial‑grade FPGA targets high‑performance digital signal processing, high‑speed serial interfaces and complex system integration where programmable logic and extensive I/O are required.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — 228,000 logic elements provide extensive programmable fabric for complex logic, control and datapath implementations.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 17.54 Mbits of on‑chip RAM to support buffering, FIFOs and local storage for high‑throughput designs.
• I/O Density — 744 I/O pins enable wide external connectivity and dense interface options for multi‑port designs.
• High‑Speed Transceiver and Bandwidth Features (series‑level) — Stratix IV GX family documentation highlights high‑speed transceiver features and wide protocol support suitable for high‑bandwidth applications.
• Power Supply — Supported core voltage range of 870 mV to 930 mV for core power planning and system power‑rail design.
• Package & Mounting — 1517‑BBGA (supplier package: 1517‑FBGA 40×40) in a surface‑mount FCBGA package for high‑density PCB integration.
• Operating Conditions — Commercial grade with operating temperature range from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑performance networking and switching — Uses the device's high logic capacity and extensive I/O to implement packet processing, protocol bridging and high‑bandwidth data paths.
• High‑speed serial interfaces — Stratix IV GX family features support high‑speed transceivers and protocol support for serializer/deserializer designs and multi‑lane links.
• Signal processing and DSP acceleration — Large logic resources and on‑chip memory enable implementation of DSP pipelines, filtering and real‑time processing functions.
• Memory interface and buffering — Substantial embedded RAM supports external memory controllers, buffering and data staging for throughput‑oriented systems.

Unique Advantages

• Large programmable fabric: 228,000 logic elements let you implement complex control and dataflow logic without partitioning across multiple devices.
• High I/O count: 744 I/Os reduce the need for external multiplexers and simplify board‑level routing for multi‑interface designs.
• Significant on‑chip RAM: Approximately 17.54 Mbits of embedded memory supports local buffering and state storage to improve system throughput and determinism.
• Surface‑mount FCBGA package: 1517‑BBGA (1517‑FBGA supplier package) delivers a compact footprint for dense PCB layouts while supporting high pin counts.
• Commercial temperature rating: 0 °C to 85 °C aligns the device with standard commercial electronics and environments.
• Regulatory compliance: RoHS compliance simplifies environmental and manufacturing considerations.
