Stratix® II GX FPGAs are specifically architected to meet the full system demands of both current and future serial I/O-based applications. Stratix II GX devices fuse the industry's fastest and highest density FPGA architecture with up to 20 full-duplex, high-performance, multi-gigabit transceivers. The transceivers deliver excellent jitter performance across the entire 600-Mbps to 6.375-Gbps operating range. When used with the multiple levels of dynamic pre-emphasis and equalization, they provide a low-risk design path for both new system and legacy system design applications.
Table 1 highlights the features and benefits of Stratix II GX FPGA transceivers. Table 2 outlines Stratix II GX devices and features. Table 3 details the Stratix II GX transceiver, device packages, and maximum user I/O pins. Table 4 shows industrial temperature support for Stratix II GX FPGAs.

- Features are preliminary and subject to change.
- Each ALM is equivalent to 2.5 LEs.
- Each DSP block in Stratix II GX devices can implement four 18×18 multipliers or one 36×36 multiplier. To obtain the total number of 36×36 multipliers per device, divide the total number of 18×18 multipliers by a factor of 4.
- Includes both enhanced PLLs and fast PLLs.

- The total number of I/O pins for each package described above includes dedicated clock pins and dedicated fast I/O pins. However, it does not include the high-speed or clock-reference pins for high-speed I/O capability.
- User I/O counts are preliminary and subject to change.
- Includes two differential clock inputs that can also be used for two additional channels for the differential receiver.
