Honored ContributorIs Stratix II a speed upgrade for Arria GX?
I'm designing in an Arria GX device, but am aware it is only available in speed grade 6. In looking for possible options for a faster device, I see that a Stratix II part appears almost identical in terms of architecture and pinouts, but is available in speed grades 5, 4, and 3.
The two parts under consideration are: Arria GX -- EP1AGX60CF484CN Stratix II --EP2S60F484C3N Are there any significant differences between these two parts, other than speed? Is the Stratix II a drop-in replacement for the Arria GX part, other than re-compiling the design, and possible timing changes due to the speed differences? Thanks.2 Replies
Altera_ForumArria GX is the little brother of Stratix II GX. Stratix II is bigger, faster, has more logic, more memory, faster I/O, faster transceivers, etc.

Never mind -- I was mistaken in determining the pinouts are compatible. They're not. My apologies.
