The Arria II device family is made with user friendliness in mind. The architecture of the 40-nm device family is cost-optimized and has simplified transceivers and I/Os in addition to a low-power programmable logic engine. With the Quartus II software, the SOPC Builder design tools, and a large library of hard and soft intellectual property (IP) solutions from Altera, common interfaces like the Physical Interface for PCI Express (PCIe), Ethernet, and DDR3 memory are simply integrated in your design. Designing for applications requiring transceivers working at up to 6.375 Gbps is quick and simple thanks to the Arria II device family.
