1. Overview for the Arria II Device Family
The Arria
®
II device family is designed specifically for ease-of-use. The
cost-optimized, 40-nm device family architecture features a low-power,
programmable logic engine and streamlined transceivers and I/Os. Common
interfaces, such as the Physical Interface for PCI Express
®
(PCIe
®
), Ethernet, and
DDR3 memory are easily implemented in your design with the Quartus
®
II software,
the SOPC Builder design software, and a broad library of hard and soft intellectual
property (IP) solutions from Altera. The Arria II device family makes designing for
applications requiring transceivers operating at up to 6.375 Gbps fast and easy.
This chapter contains the following sections:

Notes to Table 1–1:
(1) The total number of transceivers is divided equally between the left and right side of each device, except for the devices in the F780 package. These devices have eight transceiver channels located only on
the right side of the device.
(2) This is in four multiplier adder mode.
(3) The FPGA fabric can use these phase locked-loops (PLLs) if they are not used by the transceiver.
(4) The number of PLLs depends on the package. Transceiver transmitter (TX) PLL count = (number of transceiver blocks)
× 2.
(5) Banks 3C and 8C are dedicated configuration banks and do not have user I/O pins.
(6) For Arria II GZ devices, the user I/Os count from pin-out files includes all general purpose I/O, dedicated clock pins, and dual purpose configuration pins. Transceiver pins and dedicated configuration pins
are not included in the pin count.
(7) For Arria II GZ devices, total pairs of high-speed LVDS SERDES take the lowest channel count of RX/TX. For more information, refer to the High-Speed I/O Interfaces and DPA in Arria II Devices chapter.
(8) The smallest pin package (780-pin package) does not support high-speed LVDS SERDES.
