New Stratix IV GT and Arria II GX FPGAs Expand the Industry’s Broadest Integrated Transceiver Portfolio

Altera introduces Stratix(r) IV GT FPGAs, the only FPGA with integrated 11.3-Gbps transceivers, and Arria(r) II GX FPGAs, the lowest power, cost-optimized FPGAs for applications requiring transceivers up to 3.75 Gbps.

February 2nd, 2009

Altera introduces Stratix® IV GT FPGAs, the only FPGA with integrated 11.3-Gbps transceivers, and Arria® II GX FPGAs, the lowest power, cost-optimized FPGAs for applications requiring transceivers up to 3.75 Gbps.

With the previously announced Stratix IV GX FPGAs and HardCopy® IV ASICs, Altera now has the broadest portfolio of FPGAs and HardCopy ASICs with transceivers. Whether you are building a cost and power-sensitive consumer application or cutting-edge 100G networking equipment, Altera has the optimal solution for your needs.

Our 40-nm FPGAs and ASICs with transceivers are architected with the same proven transceiver architecture that is ideal for high-bandwidth serial interface applications. In each device, the integrated transceiver block is optimized for its targeted applications.

* Now Shipping! Stratix IV GX FPGAs are high-performance devices with up to 530K logic elements (LEs) and high levels of transceiver and memory bandwidth

* Now Shipping! Stratix IV GT FPGAs are the only FPGAs with integrated 11.3-Gbps transceivers, ideal for 40G and 100G applications

* Arria II GX FPGAs are the lowest power, cost-optimized FPGAs that make it easy to design 3.75-Gbps transceiver solutions

* HardCopy IV GX ASICs are a package- and pin-compatible ASIC counterpart to Stratix IV GX FPGAs, ready to help you lower your risks and total cost in ASIC designs with embedded transceivers

Altera’s common design environment, which includes Quartus® II design software, an extensive intellectual property (IP) suite, and proven transceiver technology, provides the same user experience across the portfolio, whether you’re designing applications for a remote radio head or a 100G networking application.
