Following are the most frequently asked questions about Cyclone^® II devices.

General

With the software Cyclone, you can easily calculate the dimension of a cyclone, without to enter one formula. The software calculations are very quick wich allow you to compare different cyclone. Cyclone design Excel calculation tool A simplified version of the calculation tool can be found here - a more complete tool will be developped soon. Note that this tool cannot be used for detail design as stated in the file, always link with a commercial company to confirm the design. Cyclone design is generally driven by a specified pressure-drop limitation, rather than by meeting a specified control efficiency (Andriola, 1999; Perry, 1994). According to Vatavuk (1990), high throughput cyclones are only guaranteed to remove particles greater than.

What is the Cyclone II FPGA family?

The Cyclone II FPGA family is the second-generation family in our low-cost Cyclone series. Cyclone II FPGAs offer 30 percent lower cost and more than three times the logic density than first-generation Cyclone devices. Based on TSMC's proven 90-nm process technology with low-k dielectric, Cyclone II FPGAs are the lowest-cost FPGAs in the industry.

Cyclone Separator Design Software

With densities ranging from 4,608 to 68,416 logic elements (LEs), Cyclone II FPGAs also offer new and enhanced features including up to 1.1 Mbits of embedded memory, up to 150 embedded 18 x 18 multipliers, phase-locked loops (PLLs), and support for external memory interfaces and differential and single-ended I/O standards.

What is the process technology for the Cyclone II FPGA family?

The Cyclone II FPGA family is based on the 1.2-V, 90-nm, low-k dielectric process from TSMC, the same process technology used for Stratix II FPGAs.

Which markets does the Cyclone II FPGA family address?

The Cyclone II FPGA family is the optimum low-cost solution for high-volume applications in a wide variety of markets, including: consumer electronics, advanced communications and wireless, computer peripherals, industrial, and automotive. Selected Cyclone II FPGAs are available with industrial temperature or automotive- grade versions. Cyclone II FPGAs contain a number of new and enhanced features such as embedded memory, embedded multipliers, PLLs, and low-cost package offerings optimized for volume applications such as video displays, digital TVs (DTVs), digital set-top boxes (DSTBs), DVD players, DSL modems, residential gateways, and mid-range and low-end routers.

Why are Cyclone II FPGAs an ideal alternative to standard-cell ASICs?

The Cyclone II family provides a flexible, risk-free option without up-front non-recurring engineering (NRE) charges or minimum order quantities. In addition to a cost structure unmatched by any other FPGA, Cyclone II FPGAs offer advanced features such as embedded 18 x 18 multipliers for high-performance digital signal processing (DSP) applications, and support for memory interfaces such as DDR2 (up to 334 Mbps) and QDRII (up to 688 Mbps).

What are the members of the Cyclone II FPGA family, and what packages will be offered?

Cyclone Separator Design

The Cyclone II FPGA family includes six members ranging in density from 4,608 to 68,416 LEs. Low-cost packages with vertical migration support are available for Cyclone II FPGAs, including the thin quad flat pack (TQFP), plastic quad flat pack (PQFP), and FineLine BGA packages. Table 1 provides an overview of the Cyclone II family, and Table 2 lists the package options and user I/O pins.
