Stratix II devices offer several digital signal processing (DSP) features that provide exceptional performance for DSP applications. These features include DSP blocks, TriMatrix memory, and three-input adder support; and make Stratix II devices ideal for the entire data path or as FPGA coprocessors for wireless infrastructure, broadcast television, medical imaging, and other signal and image processing applications.

This white paper discusses performance of Stratix II devices by examining the device architecture, Quartus II software support, and DSP MegaCore intellectual property (IP) support. Several examples show the benefits of Stratix II devices using readily available DSP IP from Altera.
