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

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
