Stratix® GX FPGAs give system architects a low-risk path to 3.125-Gbps transceiver applications. Based on Altera's Stratix architecture, Stratix GX devices fuse the industry's fastest FPGA architecture with high-performance multi-gigabit transceiver technology.
System designs that require a low-risk cost-reduction path for high-volume production can migrate Stratix GX designs seamlessly to mask-programmed, pin-compatible HardCopy® Stratix GX devices. Because HardCopy Stratix GX devices preserve the high-density, high-performance architecture of Stratix GX FPGAs, including the 3.125-Gbps high-speed transceivers, no additional high-speed board design engineering is required when migrating from Stratix GX FPGAs to HardCopy Stratix GX devices.
Table 1 outlines the Stratix GX device family members and features. Table 2 shows an overview of Stratix GX device packaging and I/O pin counts. Table 3 shows the appropriate configuration devices to use for Stratix GX devices. Table 4 shows the industrial temperature support for Stratix GX devices.
