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 1 Cyclone IV E devices are offered in core voltage of 1.0 V and 1.2 V. f For more information, refer to the Power Requirements for Cyclone IV Devices chapter. 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.
