• I/O Resources  564 I/O pins delivered in the 1152-BBGA package to support broad external connectivity and dense board-level interfacing.
• Power and Core Voltage  Core supply specified from 870 mV to 930 mV, enabling predictable power design and supply planning for the FPGA core.
• Package & Mounting  1152-ball BGA (FBGA, 35 × 35 mm) surface-mount package suited for compact, high-density board layouts.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental conformity.
• Documented Series-Level Capabilities  The Stratix IV device handbook and datasheet content include sections covering electrical characteristics, PLL specifications, transceiver performance, DSP block specifications, clock tree and core performance—reference materials useful for design validation and system integration.

Typical Applications

• High-density digital systems  Leverages 291,200 logic elements and approximately 16.8 Mbits of embedded RAM to realize complex state machines, data pipelines, and custom accelerators.
• Board-level signal interfacing  564 I/O pins in a compact 1152-BBGA package support designs requiring many external connections such as multi-channel data aggregation or dense connector interfaces.
• Embedded memory-dependent designs  On-chip RAM supports buffering, packet storage, and lookup table implementations that reduce external memory bandwidth requirements.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 291,200 logic elements enable integration of large FPGA designs without partitioning across multiple devices, reducing system complexity.
• Substantial on-chip RAM: Approximately 16.8 Mbits of embedded memory helps minimize reliance on external memory for many intermediate storage needs, simplifying board design.
• Extensive I/O count: 564 I/O pins provide flexible connectivity options for complex multi-interface systems and high channel-count applications.
• Compact BGA footprint: 1152-ball FCBGA (35 × 35 mm) supports high-density board layouts while maintaining robust soldered connections for production assemblies.
• Predictable power planning: Specified core voltage range (870 mV–930 mV) assists in precise power-supply design and thermal budgeting.
• Commercial-grade availability: Device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for mainstream product deployments.
