About this manual

This document provides data sheet specifications for the HardCopy II device family of low-cost, high-performance structured ASICs. These devices are designed to complement Stratix II FPGAs by offering pin-compatible architectures with equivalent features such as phase-locked loops (PLLs), memory, and I/O elements.

The section details the internal architecture, configuration, JTAG boundary-scan testing information, DC operating conditions, AC timing parameters, power consumption references, and ordering information. It highlights key features including up to 3,600,000 usable gates, support for various high-speed I/O standards like LVDS and HyperTransport, and migration paths from Stratix II FPGA prototypes.
