1. Cyclone IV FPGA Device Family
Overview
Altera’s new Cyclone^® IV FPGA device family extends the Cyclone FPGA series
leadership in providing the market’s lowest-cost, lowest-power FPGAs, now with a
transceiver variant. Cyclone IV devices are targeted to high-volume, cost-sensitive
applications, enabling system designers to meet increasing bandwidth requirements
while lowering costs.
Built on an optimized low-power process, the Cyclone IV device family offers the
following two variants:
■ Cyclone IV E—lowest power, high functionality with the lowest cost
■ Cyclone IV GX—lowest power and lowest cost FPGAs with 3.125 Gbps
transceivers
1 Cyclone IV E devices are offered in core voltage of 1.0 V and 1.2 V.
f For more information, refer to the Power Requirements for Cyclone IV Devices
chapter.
Providing power and cost savings without sacrificing performance, along with a
low-cost integrated transceiver option, Cyclone IV devices are ideal for low-cost,
small-form-factor applications in the wireless, wireline, broadcast, industrial,
consumer, and communications industries.
Cyclone IV Device Family Features
The Cyclone IV device family offers the following features:
■ Low-cost, low-power FPGA fabric:
■ 6K to 150K logic elements
■ Up to 6.3 Mb of embedded memory
■ Up to 360 18 × 18 multipliers for DSP processing intensive applications
■ Protocol bridging applications for under 1.5 W total power
