Altera’s Stratix IV FPGA range
Now available from Digi-Key, Altera’s Stratix IV FPGA range is designed to deliver high density, high performance and low power in various high-end digital applications, in the wireless, wireline, military, broadcast and many other end markets.
When coupled with a Hardcopy IV ASIC, a Stratix IV FPGA is claimed to provide the benefits of both an FPGA and an ASIC.
A Hardcopy IV ASIC is claimed to deliver low risk, low total cost and fast time to market for custom logic designs.
System bandwidth has up to 48 high-speed transceivers at up to 8.5Gbps, or up to 24 transceivers at up to 11.3Gbps optimised for 100G applications and 1,067Mbps (533MHz) DDR3 memory interfaces.
Key features
- PCI-SIG compliant for PCI Express Gen1 and Gen2 (x1, x4 and x8)
- Integrated 11.3Gbps transceivers
- Up to 820,000 logic elements, 23.1Mbits of embedded memory and 1,288 18x18 multipliers
- Two-speed grade advantage
- Claimed to have up to 50 per cent lower power than any other high-end FPGA on the market
- Able to drive a 50in backplane at 6.375Gbps with plug and play signal integrity
