EP4SGX230FF35C2X

The EP4SGX230FF35C2X is an Intel Stratix IV GX field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 1152-ball FCBGA package offering 228,000 logic elements and substantial on-chip RAM. It targets high-performance designs that require dense programmable logic, ample embedded memory, and a large number of I/O for system integration.

Architected for applications demanding high aggregate data bandwidth and advanced I/O capabilities, the device combines programmable fabric, DSP-oriented resources and family-level features such as high-speed transceivers and comprehensive clocking resources (as documented in the Stratix IV device handbook).

Key Features

• Programmable Logic  228,000 logic elements for complex digital designs and high-density implementation of custom logic functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 17.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM (17,544,192 bits) to support buffering, packet processing, and large LUT-based structures.
• I/O Capacity  564 I/O pins to interface with multiple peripherals, external memory, and high-speed lanes.
• High-Speed Transceiver and I/O Features  Device family documentation lists high-speed transceiver features, differential I/O with DPA/soft-CDR, and external memory interface support for high-bandwidth system designs.
• Clocking and DSP Support  Family-level architecture includes PLLs, clock networks, and DSP block resources to support signal processing and synchronous system designs.
• Power and Operating Conditions  Core voltage supply range 870 mV to 930 mV and commercial operating temperature range 0°C to 85°C; surface-mount device optimized for board-level integration.
• Package  1152-ball BGA (1152-FBGA, 35×35) FCBGA package for a compact footprint and high pin count.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant and specified as commercial grade.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Networking and Telecom  Use the device family’s high-speed transceiver features and high aggregate data bandwidth to implement switching, packet processing, and protocol bridging functions.
• Digital Signal Processing  Leverage the FPGA’s DSP resources and large embedded RAM for real-time filtering, modulation/demodulation and algorithm acceleration.
• External Memory Interfaces  Implement memory controllers and interface logic using the device’s extensive I/O and family-supported external memory interface features.
• Custom High-Density Logic  Deploy complex state machines, datapaths, and glue logic in systems that require large programmable capacity and many I/O.

Unique Advantages

• High logic capacity: 228,000 logic elements provide headroom for large, integrated designs without partitioning across multiple devices.
• Substantial on-chip RAM: Approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded memory reduces dependence on external buffering and simplifies board-level memory design.
• Extensive I/O count: 564 I/O pins enable broad peripheral connectivity and support for multi-lane interfaces.
• Compact, high-pin-count package: 1152-ball FCBGA allows dense routing and high signal integrity in a single-package solution.
• Commercial-grade operating range: 0°C to 85°C and RoHS compliance support standard industrial and commercial applications while meeting environmental restrictions.
• Family-level system features: Architecture documentation highlights PLLs, clock networks, DSP blocks and high-speed transceiver features for scalable system integration.
