1. Cyclone IV FPGA Device Family

Overview

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

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
