EP4SGX180KF40C2G

The EP4SGX180KF40C2G is an Intel Stratix IV family FPGA device configured for high-capacity logic and system integration. It delivers a large programmable fabric suitable for high-performance communications, signal processing, and complex embedded designs, combining substantial logic density, on-chip memory, and extensive I/O in an FCBGA package.

Key Features

• Stratix IV device family: Architecture and feature set align with the Stratix IV device handbook, including device core, I/O, and transceiver-related sections referenced in the family documentation.
• Logic capacity: 175,750 logic elements to implement complex combinational and sequential logic functions.
• Embedded memory: Approximately 13.95 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffer, FIFO, and local storage requirements.
• I/O resources: 744 user I/O pins to support wide peripheral connectivity and board-level interface density.
• High-speed I/O and transceiver support (family-level): Family documentation identifies high-speed differential I/O and high-speed transceiver features designed for high aggregate bandwidth and diverse protocol support.
• DSP and timing resources (family-level): Family handbook includes digital signal processing block references, PLLs, and clock network features for synchronized, high-performance designs.
• Package and mounting: 1517-BBGA FCBGA package (supplier device package: 1517-FBGA, 40×40) with surface-mount assembly.
• Power and operating range: Core supply range 870 mV to 930 mV; commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C; commercial grade device.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications and networking: Leverages the Stratix IV family’s high-speed I/O and transceiver features and abundant logic to implement protocol processing and packet handling.
• Signal processing and DSP systems: Large logic capacity and on-chip memory support complex DSP pipelines and buffering for real-time processing tasks.
• Embedded compute and control platforms: High logic density and extensive I/O enable integration of custom processors, accelerators, and rich peripheral interfaces.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 175,750 logic elements provide headroom for large, multi-function designs without fragmenting the design across multiple devices.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 13.95 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for temporary storage and buffering.
• Extensive I/O count: 744 I/O pins simplify board-level connectivity and reduce the need for external multiplexing or level-shifting components.
• Family-level high-speed features: Stratix IV family documentation highlights high-speed transceivers, differential I/O and protocol support that enable high-bandwidth system architectures.
• Compact, surface-mount FCBGA package: 1517-FBGA (40×40) package consolidates a high-pin-count device in a standard surface-mount form factor for production assemblies.
• Regulatory and grade clarity: Commercial grade device with RoHS compliance for standard commercial and enterprise deployments.
