Cyclone IV FPGA

Cyclone IV FPGA Family

Altera’s new Cyclone® IV FPGA device family extends the Cyclone FPGA series leadership in providing the market’s lowest-cost, lowest-power FPGAs, now with a transceiver variant. Cyclone IV devices are targeted to high-volume, cost-sensitive applications, enabling system designers to meet increasing bandwidth requirements while lowering costs.
Built on an optimized low-power process, the Cyclone IV device family offers the following two variants:
* Cyclone IV E—lowest power, high functionality with the lowest cost
* Cyclone IV GX—lowest power and lowest cost FPGAs with 3.125 Gbps transceivers
Providing power and cost savings without sacrificing performance, along with a low-cost integrated transceiver option, Cyclone IV devices are ideal for low-cost, small-form-factor applications in the wireless, wireline, broadcast, industrial, consumer, and communications industries.
