EP4S40G2F40I2

The EP4S40G2F40I2 is an Intel Stratix IV GT family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) supplied in a 1517-ball FCBGA package. It combines high logic capacity and on-chip memory with the series’ documented high-speed transceiver and system-integration features.

Targeted at designs requiring large programmable fabric, extensive I/O, and industrial-grade operating range, this device supports applications that leverage high aggregate data bandwidth, external memory interfaces, and embedded DSP-oriented architectures described in the Stratix IV device documentation.

Key Features

• Core Architecture  Stratix IV GT family FPGA architecture with documented high-speed transceiver features and architecture-level integration from the Stratix IV device handbook.
• Logic Capacity  Approximately 228,000 logic elements to implement complex programmable logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 17.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM for large buffers, frame storage, and memory-intensive logic functions.
• I/O Count  654 general-purpose I/O pins to support broad external connectivity and interface options.
• Package & Mounting  1517-FBGA (40×40) FCBGA package, surface-mount mounting type, suitable for high-pin-count board designs.
• Power and Voltage  Core voltage supply range specified from 920 mV to 980 mV to match platform power requirements.
• Operating Temperature  Industrial-grade operating range from 0 °C to 100 °C for deployments requiring extended ambient tolerance.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS-compliant construction.

Typical Applications

• High-speed serial links and protocol bridging  Leverages the Stratix IV GT documented high-speed transceiver features and wide protocol support for data transport and protocol conversion tasks.
• External memory interfaces  Implements controllers and interfaces to external memory devices using the device’s fabric and I/O resources.
• Digital signal processing and acceleration  Uses the large logic capacity and embedded memory to implement DSP pipelines and on-chip buffering described in the device handbook.
• System integration and diagnostics  Integrates multiple subsystems and diagnostic features for complex FPGA-based platforms, as outlined in the Stratix IV documentation.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: Approximately 228,000 logic elements allow implementation of complex algorithms and multi-function designs without external logic.
• Substantial embedded memory: About 17.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM reduces reliance on external memory for intermediate storage and buffering.
• Extensive I/O resources: 654 I/O pins provide flexibility for wide-ranging interfaces and parallel connectivity.
• Industrial operating range: 0 °C to 100 °C rating supports deployment in systems requiring extended ambient tolerance.
• Compact high-pin-count package: 1517-FBGA (40×40) FCBGA enables high-density board layouts while maintaining surface-mount assembly.
• Documented transceiver and integration features: Stratix IV GT device handbook details high-speed transceiver capabilities and system integration guidance for design planning.
