performance
Up to 1,120 user I/O pins arranged in 24 modular I/O banks that support a wide
range of single-ended and differential I/O standards
Support for high-speed external memory interfaces including DDR, DDR2,
DDR3 SDRAM, RLDRAM II, QDR II, and QDR II+ SRAM on up to 24 modular
I/O banks
High-speed LVDS I/O support with serializer/deserializer (SERDES), dynamic
phase alignment (DPA), and soft-CDR circuitry at data rates up to 1.6 Gbps
Support for source-synchronous bus standards, including SGMII, GbE, SPI-4
Phase 2 (POS-PHY Level 4), SFI-4.1, XSBI, UTOPIA IV, NPSI, and CSIX-L1

Stratix IV GX Devices
Stratix IV GX devices provide up to 48 full-duplex CDR-based transceiver channels
per device:
■
Thirty-two out of the 48 transceiver channels have dedicated physical coding
sublayer (PCS) and physical medium attachment (PMA) circuitry and support
data rates between 600 Mbps and 8.5 Gbps
The remaining 16 transceiver channels have dedicated PMA-only circuitry and
support data rates between 600 Mbps and 6.5 Gbps
■

The actual number of transceiver channels per device varies with device selection. For
more information about the exact transceiver count in each device, refer to
Table 1–1
on page 1–11.
For more information about transceiver architecture, refer to the
Transceiver
Architecture in Stratix IV Devices
