Stratix® IV Features

The Stratix IV FPGA family includes three device variants:

Stratix IV GT FPGAs with transceivers: Up to 530K logic elements (LEs) and 48 full-duplex clock data recovery (CDR)-based transceivers at up to 11.3 Gbps
Stratix IV GX FPGAs with transceivers: Up to 530K LEs and 48 full-duplex CDR-based transceivers at up to 8.5 Gbps
Stratix IV E (enhanced devices) FPGAs: Up to 820K LEs, 23.1-MB RAM, and up to 1,288 18x18 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. See AN 557: Stratix III to Stratix IV E Cross-Family Migration Guidelines (PDF). Tables 1 through 3 offer an overview of the devices in the Stratix IV FPGA family.

With 40 nm Stratix® IV FPGAs you can reach new levels of system-on-a-chip (SoC) integration. Building on the advanced, proven Stratix III architecture, Stratix® IV FPGAs deliver a high-density, feature-rich and high-performance core fabric. Combined with flexible I/Os, high-bandwidth transceivers, and memory interfaces, Stratix® IV FPGAs meet the requirements for high-end digital systems in wireless, wireline, military, broadcast, and other market segments.

Notes:

All device densities within the Stratix IV family that are available in the same package are vertically migratable (that is, they share the same VCC, GND, in-system programmables, and dedicated input pins).
Pin-outs for Stratix IV E devices are designed to allow migration of designs between the Stratix III device and Stratix IV E family variant using a common PCB with minimal impact on the power supply design. See the Stratix III to Stratix IV E migration page for more details.
EP4SGX530, EP4SE530, and EP4SE820 devices are in H1152 and H1517 packages to maintain vertical package migration. These packages require a keep-out area to be created to allow for the overhang of the H package.
