1. Overview for the Stratix IV Device
Family
Altera^® Stratix^® IV FPGAs deliver a breakthrough level of system bandwidth and
power efficiency for high-end applications, allowing you to innovate without
compromise. Stratix IV FPGAs are based on the Taiwan Semiconductor
Manufacturing Company (TSMC) 40-nm process technology and surpass all other
high-end FPGAs, with the highest logic density, most transceivers, and lowest power
requirements.
The Stratix IV device family contains three optimized variants to meet different
application requirements:
■ Stratix IV E (Enhanced) FPGAs—up to 813,050 logic elements (LEs), 33,294 kilobits
(Kb) RAM, and 1,288 18 x 18 bit multipliers
■ Stratix IV GX transceiver FPGAs—up to 531,200 LEs, 27,376 Kb RAM, 1,288
18 x 18-bit multipliers, and 48 full-duplex clock data recovery (CDR)-based
transceivers at up to 8.5 Gbps
■ Stratix IV GT—up to 531,200 LEs, 27,376 Kb RAM, 1,288 18 x 18-bit multipliers,
and 48 full-duplex CDR-based transceivers at up to 11.3 Gbps
The complete Altera high-end solution includes the lowest risk, lowest total cost path
to volume using HardCopy^® IV ASICs for all the family variants, a comprehensive
portfolio of application solutions customized for end-markets, and the industry
leading Quartus^® II software to increase productivity and performance.
