EP4SGX180FF35I3

The EP4SGX180FF35I3 is an Intel Stratix® IV GX field‑programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 1152‑BBGA (35 × 35) FCBGA package, designed for high‑capacity, high‑I/O embedded designs. It integrates a large programmable fabric with abundant on‑chip memory and transceiver‑oriented architecture elements described in the Stratix IV device handbook.

This device is targeted at applications that need substantial logic density, wide I/O counts and robust operating conditions, delivering a combination of performance, integration and industrial grade temperature support for demanding system designs.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 175,750 logic elements provide significant programmable fabric for complex control, signal processing and protocol engines.
• Logic Structure — Device-level architecture references Stratix IV GX family features such as high‑speed transceivers, DSP resources and flexible clocking and PLLs as described in the Stratix IV device handbook.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 13.95 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (13,954,048 total RAM bits) to support buffering, FIFOs and local data storage for DSP and packet processing tasks.
• I/O and Package — 564 I/O pins in a 1152‑BBGA, FCBGA package (supplier package: 1152‑FBGA, 35 × 35 mm) with surface‑mount mounting for high‑density board designs.
• Power Supply — Core voltage range specified at 870 mV to 930 mV for device power planning and regulator selection.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for industrial environments requiring extended temperature capability.
• Mounting and Compliance — Surface mount package construction and RoHS compliance for lead‑free assembly and regulatory alignment.

Typical Applications

• High‑bandwidth communications — Implement protocol engines and data aggregation using the device’s high I/O count and Stratix IV GX transceiver‑oriented architecture.
• Digital signal processing — Use the large logic fabric and approximately 13.95 Mbits of embedded memory to build DSP pipelines, filters and accelerator blocks.
• Network and packet processing — Support packet buffering, custom packet workflows and interface bridging with abundant logic and I/O resources.
• Test & measurement and instrumentation — Leverage diagnostic features and flexible clocking described in the device handbook to implement measurement aggregation and system control functions.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 175,750 logic elements enable large, complex designs without immediate need to partition across multiple devices.
• Substantial on‑chip memory: Approximately 13.95 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces reliance on external memory for many buffering and state‑store use cases.
• Extensive I/O capability: 564 I/O pins and a 1152‑BBGA package support dense external interfacing for multi‑lane, multi‑protocol systems.
• Industrial operating range: Rated −40 °C to 100 °C for deployments in environments with extended temperature requirements.
• Defined power envelope: Core supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV simplifies power budgeting and regulator selection for system designers.
• Standards‑aware platform: Device is part of the Stratix IV GX family and aligns with the architecture and feature set documented in the Stratix IV device handbook for predictable integration.
