EP4SGX180KF40I4G

The EP4SGX180KF40I4G is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Intel, built on the Stratix IV device family architecture (Stratix IV GX series referenced in the device handbook). It combines a high logic capacity with substantial on‑chip memory and a large I/O count for demanding system designs.

Targeted at designs requiring dense programmable logic and extensive interfacing in industrial environments, this device delivers a balance of logic resources, embedded RAM, and series-level transceiver and I/O capabilities described in the Stratix IV handbook.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 175,750 logic elements (as specified), providing substantial programmable fabric for complex digital functions.
• Embedded Memory — Total on-chip RAM of 13,954,048 bits, approximately 14 Mbits of embedded memory for buffering, lookup tables, and data storage.
• I/O Resources — 744 I/O pins to support wide-ranging peripheral and external interface requirements; the Stratix IV handbook documents high-speed differential I/O and external memory interface capabilities for the series.
• Stratix IV Series Features — Series documentation highlights high-speed transceiver features, DSP blocks, clock networks and PLLs, and diagnostic and signal-integrity features available in the Stratix IV family.
• Power — Core supply specified at 870 mV to 930 mV, enabling clear design requirements for power delivery and regulation.
• Package & Mounting — Supplied in a 1517-FBGA (40×40) supplier device package; package case listed as 1517-BBGA, FCBGA. Mounting type: surface mount.
• Operating Range & Compliance — Industrial grade with an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C. RoHS compliant for environmental conformity.

Typical Applications

• High‑performance communications — Suitable for network and infrastructure modules that require large logic capacity and extensive I/O for protocol handling and data aggregation.
• Signal processing and video systems — The combination of dense logic and approximately 14 Mbits of embedded memory supports DSP tasks, buffering and real-time data manipulation.
• Industrial control and automation — Industrial-grade temperature range and high I/O count make the device appropriate for control, monitoring and interface consolidation in industrial equipment.
• Advanced embedded platforms — Fits designs needing programmable acceleration, custom peripherals, and broad external memory or I/O connectivity described by the Stratix IV series features.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 175,750 logic elements provide headroom for complex, multi‑function implementations and custom hardware acceleration.
• Significant on‑chip memory: Approximately 14 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for many buffering and storage needs.
• Large I/O complement: 744 I/O pins accommodate extensive sensor, peripheral, and external-memory interfaces without excessive board-level multiplexing.
• Stratix IV architectural capabilities: Series-level support for high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, PLLs, and clock networks helps address timing, bandwidth, and signal-integrity requirements.
• Industrial‑grade operation: Specified −40 °C to 100 °C operation and RoHS compliance support deployment in industrial environments with established environmental constraints.
• Compact system footprint: 1517-FBGA (40×40) packaging and surface-mount form factor enable integration into space-constrained boards.
