EP4SGX230DF29I3N

The EP4SGX230DF29I3N is a Stratix IV GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) offered in a 780-ball FCBGA package. It implements the Stratix IV architecture with features called out in the device handbook, including high-speed transceiver support, DSP resources, PLLs, and extensive clock and I/O capabilities.

With approximately 228,000 logic elements and roughly 17.54 Mbits of embedded memory, this industrial-grade FPGA targets high-bandwidth digital designs that require dense logic, significant on-chip RAM, and a broad I/O complement while operating across a wide industrial temperature range.

Key Features

• Core Capacity — Approximately 228,000 logic elements (9120 logic blocks reported), providing large-scale programmable logic for complex digital designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 17.54 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, packet processing, and local data storage without immediate external memory dependence.
• I/O Resources — 372 I/O pins to support extensive parallel interfaces and multiple external peripherals or memory buses.
• High-Speed Architecture — Stratix IV GX family features listed in the device handbook include high-speed transceiver support, diagnostics, and wide protocol support for high aggregate data bandwidth.
• DSP and Clocking — Family-level references to digital signal processing (DSP) blocks and multiple PLL/clock-network resources aid in implementing signal processing and timing-critical functions.
• Power and Voltage — Core voltage supply range specified from 870 mV to 930 mV for the device core domain.
• Package & Mounting — 780-BBGA (FCBGA) 29×29 supplier package designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Operating Range & Grade — Industrial grade operation with an ambient range of −40 °C to 100 °C; RoHS-compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-Bandwidth Communications — Use the Stratix IV GX architecture and high-speed transceiver feature set for protocol implementation and aggregate data transport.
