HardCopy II and
Stratix II
Similarities and
Differences
2–4
Preliminary
HardCopy II devices preserve the functionality of Stratix II FPGAs.
Implementation of these architectural features in HardCopy II structured
ASICs matches Stratix II FPGA implementation, with a few exceptions.

Table 2–2. HardCopy II Device vs. Stratix II FPGA Feature Implementation
HardCopy II may result in a power reduction of up to 50% than an
equivalent Stratix II FPGAs operating at the same frequency. Power
consumption is design dependent and is a direct result of design
performance and resource utilization.
HardCopy II devices offer up to 100% performance improvement
when compared to Stratix II FPGA prototypes. The performance
improvement is achieved by efficient use of logic blocks, metal
interconnect optimization, die size reduction, and customized signal
buffering.
Logic blocks, known as HCells, are the basic building block of the
core logic in HardCopy II devices and replace Stratix II adaptive logic
modules (ALMs). HCells implement logic and DSP functions.
DSP block functions are implemented using HCells, instead of
dedicated DSP blocks.
M4K and M-RAM memory blocks can implement various types of
memory (the same as Stratix II FPGAs), with or without parity,
including true dual-port, simple dual-port, and single-port RAM,
ROM, and first-in first-out (FIFO) buffers.
HardCopy II structured ASICs do not need to be configured upon power-up.
