EP2S60F672I4

EP2S60F672I4 is an Altera (Intel) FPGA from the Stratix II family. It targets mid‑high density digital designs and comes in a FineLine BGA672 package with industrial-temperature grade I4. The device provides a large set of logic elements (roughly 60k), on‑chip RAM blocks, DSP resources, and multiple I/O banks with various I/O standards, plus PLLs for clock management. It is programmed with the Quartus II design software and configured via standard FPGA programming interfaces. This is an older Stratix II part, suitable for computing/controls DSP-heavy applications; for new designs consider newer families. For exact counts (LEs, memory blocks, I/O count), timing, and I/O standards, consult the official datasheet and device handbook.
