Home > Products > Devices > Stratix IV (E and GX) > Overview Print This Page Subscribe to Email Stratix IV FPGA Family Overview The Stratix® IV FPGA family includes two device variants: Stratix IV GX (transceiver-based) FPGAs: Up to 530K logic elements (LEs) and 48 full-duplex CDR-based transceivers at up to 8.5 Gbps Stratix IV E (enhanced devices) FPGAs: Up to 680K LEs, 22.4-Mbit RAM, 1,360 18 x 18-bit multipliers Stratix IV FPGAs offer vertical migration within each family variant providing the most flexibility in device selection. In addition, a vertical migration path exists between Stratix III and Stratix IV E devices, so you can start designing on a Stratix III device today and move to a higher density Stratix IV E device without changing your PCB. Tables 1 and 2 offer an overview of the devices in the Stratix IV FPGA family. Table 1.

For full package details, see the Altera® Device Package Information (PDF). EP4SGX530 and EP4SE530 devices are in an H1152 and an H1517 package and EP4SE680 devices are in an H1152 to maintain vertical package migration. These packages require a keep-out area to be created to allow for the overhang of the H package. Table 3.

Pin-outs for Stratix IV E devices are designed to allow migration of designs between the Stratix III and Stratix IV E family variant using a common PCB with minimal impact on the power supply design. Contact your local sales office for more details. EP4SGX530 and EP4SE530 devices are in an H1152 and an H1517 package and EP4SE680 devices are in an H1152 to maintain vertical package migration. These packages require a keep-out area to be created to allow for the overhang of the H package.
