| Overview |
The Cyclone IV GX transceiver starter board provides a hardware platform for developing and prototyping low-power, high-volume, feature-rich designs as well as to demonstrate the Cyclone IV GX device's on-chip memory, embedded multipliers, and the Nios® II embedded soft processor. The board provides peripherals and memory interfaces to facilitate the development of the Cyclone IV GX transceiver designs.
The Cyclone IV GX transceiver starter board is especially suitable for cost-sensitive applications that require high-speed transceivers and power integrity solutions.
