EP4SGX230FF35I4

The EP4SGX230FF35I4 is an Intel Stratix® IV GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) supplied in a 1152-BBGA (35×35) FCBGA package. It packs a high-density logic fabric and on-chip memory with a focus on high-bandwidth I/O and transceiver-capable architectures described in the Stratix IV device family documentation.

Targeted at designs that require large programmable logic capacity, substantial embedded memory and extensive I/O, this industrial-grade device supports applications that leverage high-speed transceiver features, DSP resources and external memory interfaces referenced in the device handbook.

Key Features

• Logic Fabric  Approximately 228,000 logic elements for implementing complex custom logic, state machines and packet-processing pipelines.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 17.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, high-throughput data paths and local storage for DSP or control logic.
• I/O and Transceiver-Ready Architecture  564 general-purpose I/Os and architecture-level support for high-speed transceivers and wide protocol support as described in the Stratix IV GX device handbook.
• DSP and System Integration  Device documentation references dedicated DSP resources, PLLs and clock networks to accelerate signal processing and maintain synchronous system operation.
• Power  Core supply voltage range of 870 mV to 930 mV, enabling operation within the specified low-voltage core window.
• Package & Mounting  1152-BBGA FCBGA package (supplier package: 1152-FBGA, 35×35) with surface-mount construction for compact board-level integration.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C to meet industrial-grade deployment conditions.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑bandwidth networking and telecom  Leverages the Stratix IV GX transceiver-capable architecture and large logic capacity for packet processing, protocol handling and line-rate functions.
• Data center and storage interfaces  Provides dense logic and on-chip RAM for protocol bridging, buffering and custom interface logic in server and storage front-end designs.
• Broadcast and video processing  Combines significant embedded memory and DSP-oriented fabric to implement real-time video pipelines and stream processing.
• Industrial control and instrumentation  Industrial temperature rating and extensive I/O count allow deployment in automation, test equipment and sensor aggregation systems.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density:  Approximately 228,000 logic elements reduce the need for external glue logic and enable larger, more integrated designs on a single device.
• Substantial on‑chip memory:  About 17.5 Mbits of embedded RAM supports deep buffering and local data storage for high-throughput signal paths.
• Extensive I/O connectivity:  564 I/Os provide flexibility to interface with numerous peripherals, memory devices and system busses without added multiplexing complexity.
• Transceiver-capable architecture:  Device family features documented for high-speed transceivers and broad protocol support help address demanding link and protocol requirements.
• Industrial operating range:  Rated −40 °C to 100 °C for reliable operation in harsh or temperature-variable environments.
• Compact surface-mount package:  1152-BBGA FCBGA (35×35) enables dense PCB layouts while preserving signal integrity and thermal characteristics for high-performance boards.
