EP4SGX180FF35I4N

The EP4SGX180FF35I4N is an Intel Stratix IV GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 1152-BBGA (35 × 35) FCBGA package, offered as an industrial-grade, surface-mount device. It combines a high-density logic fabric with extensive I/O and on-chip memory to address demanding digital signal processing and high-throughput interface tasks.

Part of the Stratix IV device family, the device incorporates architecture elements referenced in the Stratix IV handbook—such as high-speed transceiver capability, embedded memory, DSP resources, and rich clocking and PLL resources—targeting applications that require large logic capacity, wide I/O counts, and robust thermal/voltage operating ranges.

Key Features

• High-density logic fabric — 175,750 logic elements (cells) to implement complex custom logic, protocol engines, or compute pipelines.
• Embedded memory — approximately 13.95 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, lookup tables, and local data storage for high-throughput designs.
• Extensive I/O — 564 I/O pins to support wide parallel interfaces, multiple high-speed links, and heterogeneous peripheral integration.
• Stratix IV GX architecture features — device family capabilities documented in the Stratix IV handbook include high-speed transceiver features, DSP blocks, PLLs, and flexible clock networks for timing-critical systems.
• Package and mounting — 1152-FBGA (35 × 35) FCBGA package, surface-mount for compact board-level integration.
• Industrial-grade operation — rated operating temperature range from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in industrial thermal environments.
• Low-voltage core supply — specified core voltage range of 870 mV to 930 mV to align with modern power-rail architectures.
• Standards and compliance — RoHS-compliant device for regulated manufacturing and electronics recycling requirements.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications — Implement protocol engines and transceiver-based links using the Stratix IV GX architecture and the device's large I/O complement.
• Signal processing and DSP — Deploy packet processing, filtering, or custom DSP pipelines using the large logic capacity and embedded memory.
• High-throughput data interfaces — Bridge external memory interfaces and wide parallel buses, leveraging the device’s large on-chip RAM and extensive I/O.
• Instrumentation and test equipment — Create custom capture, analysis, and control logic in industrial environments using the extended temperature range and package form factor.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 175,750 logic elements enable complex, large-scale designs without external FPGA partitioning.
• Substantial embedded memory: Approximately 13.95 Mbits of on-chip RAM reduces dependence on external memory for buffering and local storage.
• Broad I/O capability: 564 I/Os provide flexibility for multi-channel connectivity, parallel interfaces, and mixed-signal peripherals.
• Industrial temperature range: −40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in harsh or thermally variable environments.
• Compact package: 1152-FBGA (35 × 35) FCBGA enables high-density board designs while maintaining robust signal routing options.
• Documented Stratix IV family features: Architecture-level capabilities such as high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, and PLL/clock networks support advanced timing and protocol implementations.
