The device is specified for industrial temperature operation and low-voltage core supply ranges to support robust deployment scenarios.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 813,050 logic elements to implement large, complex logic functions and system-level integration on a single device.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 34 Mbits of on-chip RAM (34,093,056 total RAM bits) for buffering, packet processing, and scratchpad memory requirements.
• High I/O Count  976 I/O pins accommodate dense connectivity for multi-channel interfaces, memory buses, and peripheral integration.
• Device Family Capabilities  Part of the Stratix IV E device family; device handbook references architecture features such as embedded memory, DSP blocks, PLLs, and high-speed transceiver features for protocol and bandwidth support.
• Power and Voltage  Core supply specified from 870 mV to 930 mV to match system power-rail requirements and support predictable power budgeting.
• Package & Mounting  Delivered in a 1517-BBGA FCBGA package (supplier device package listed as 1517-HBGA, 42.5 × 42.5 mm) with surface-mount assembly.
• Industrial Temperature Grade  Specified operating range from −40 °C to 100 °C for industrial deployment and extended-environment reliability.
• RoHS Compliant  Manufactured to meet RoHS environmental requirements.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed Communications and Networking  Large logic capacity and extensive I/O make the device suitable for protocol implementation, packet processing, and aggregation functions.
• Industrial Control and Automation  Industrial temperature rating and flexible I/O support sensor interfaces, motion control logic, and deterministic control systems.
• Data Acquisition and Test Equipment  Embedded memory and high I/O density allow real-time buffering and multi-channel data capture for measurement systems.
• Signal Processing and Acceleration  On-chip memory and the Stratix IV E family architecture support DSP blocks and clocking resources referenced in device documentation for processing pipelines and hardware acceleration.

Unique Advantages

• Extensive Logic Resources:  With 813,050 logic elements, the EP4SE820H40I3 consolidates large designs that would otherwise require multiple devices, reducing board-level complexity.
• Substantial On‑Chip Memory:  Approximately 34 Mbits of embedded RAM lowers dependence on external memory for buffering and intermediate data storage.
• Very High I/O Density:  976 I/Os provide the flexibility to interface with multiple peripherals, memory buses, and high-channel-count front-ends without external multiplexing.
• Industrial‑Grade Operating Range:  Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C to meet industrial environmental requirements and ensure consistent operation across a wide temperature span.
• Compact FCBGA Package:  1517-BBGA / 1517-HBGA package format (42.5 × 42.5 mm) enables high integration in space-constrained system designs while supporting surface-mount assembly.
• Controlled Core Voltage:  Specified core supply window (870 mV–930 mV) facilitates precise power design and predictable thermal/power management.
