Altera Corp announced the availability of its latest development kit targeting Stratix IV FPGAs.
According to Altera the Stratix IV-E FPGA development kit provides users with a comprehensive design environment that includes the hardware and software needed to immediately begin prototyping high-density designs.
The Stratix IV E FPGA development kit is based on a Stratix IV EP4SE530 FPGA, Altera said. The FPGA features 530,000 logic elements and provides higher performance than competitive FPGAs, according to Altera.
The performance and density advantage offered by the Stratix IV EP4SE530 FPGA enables customers using the Stratix IV E FPGA development kit to fit their large designs into a single device and achieve fast timing closure, according to Altera.
The Stratix IV E FPGA development kit is the first kit to feature an FPGA interfacing with a 533-MHz DDR3 DIMM, Altera said. Using this kit, customers can develop and test memory subsystems consisting of DDR3 DIMMs, QDR II and RLDRAM II memory interfaces, Altera said. The Stratix IV EP4SE530 FPGA is pin compatible with Stratix III FPGAs, Altera said.
The Stratix IV E FPGA development kit includes:
Development board featuring a Stratix IV E EP4SE530 FPGA
Board test system with design examples
2-GB DDR3 SDRAM DIMM with a 72-bit data bus
72-Mb QDR II+ SRAM device with a 18-bit data bus
576-Mb RLDRAM II CIO device with a 36-bit data bus
CD-ROM containing design examples
Nios II Design Suite license
Quartus II Design Software, Development Kit Edition
The Stratix IV E FPGA development kit is available immediately, priced at $9,995, Altera said.
