EP4SGX180HF35I3

The EP4SGX180HF35I3 is a Stratix IV GX FPGA from Intel (Altera) designed for high-density, programmable logic integration. It delivers substantial on-chip resources and system-level features documented in the Stratix IV device handbook, including transceiver, PLL and DSP block specifications.

With a large logic element count, extensive I/O, and a broad operating temperature range, this device targets industrial applications where high integration, configurability, and robustness are required.

Key Features

• High-density logic — 175,750 logic elements to implement complex digital systems and large-scale custom logic functions.
• Embedded memory — approximately 13.95 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, lookup tables and data storage close to logic.
• Extensive I/O and package — 564 user I/Os in a 1152-ball BGA package (supplier package: 1152-FBGA, 35×35 mm) suitable for dense board-level integration; surface-mount mounting type.
• Transceiver and DSP support (series-level) — device handbook sections list transceiver performance and DSP block specifications for Stratix IV devices, enabling high-speed serial connectivity and signal processing in supported designs.
• Clocking and PLLs (series-level) — Stratix IV device documentation includes PLL and clock tree specifications to support complex timing architectures.
• Power and voltage — core voltage supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV to match platform power design requirements.
• Industrial temperature range — rated to operate from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in industrial environments.
• Standards and compliance — RoHS compliant for regulatory and assembly considerations.

Unique Advantages

• Large programmable fabric: 175,750 logic elements provide the headroom to implement multi-function SOC-style designs without external programmable logic.
• Significant embedded memory: Approximately 13.95 Mbits of on-chip RAM reduces reliance on external memory for many buffering and storage tasks, simplifying BOM and layout.
• High I/O count in a compact package: 564 I/Os in a 1152-ball FBGA (35×35 mm) allow dense system IO routing while maintaining a small board footprint.
• Designed for industrial use: −40 °C to 100 °C operating range and surface-mount packaging support deployment in demanding environmental conditions.
• Series-level system features: Documented support for transceivers, PLLs and DSP blocks in the Stratix IV handbook enables advanced timing, high-speed serial, and signal-processing capabilities where applicable.
• Regulatory-friendly: RoHS compliance facilitates modern manufacturing and assembly flows.
