Altera Cyclone® IV FPGAs extend the power- and cost-optimized Cyclone FPGA series that is engineered for very low cost and power consumption, making the devices ideal for high-volume, cost-sensitive applications across industries such as wireless, broadcast, industrial, and retail electronics. Cyclone IV devices are available in two variants: the Cyclone IV E (FPGA fabric and I/O optimized for low power and high functionality) and the Cyclone IV GX, which adds low-power 3.125Gbps transceiver inputs and outputs supporting multiple serial channel protocols and PCIe 1.0 x1/x2/x4 lane capabilities.
