EP4SGX230HF35C4G

The EP4SGX230HF35C4G is an Intel Stratix IV family FPGA designed for complex digital designs requiring high logic density and extensive I/O. It implements a Stratix IV GX–class architecture and targets applications that need large programmable fabric, embedded memory, and comprehensive I/O connectivity.

With 228,000 logic elements, approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded memory and 564 I/O pins in a 1152-ball FBG A package, this device is suited to system designs in communications, data processing, and other performance-oriented commercial applications where integration and on-chip resources reduce external component count.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  228,000 logic elements provide substantial programmable fabric for complex control, processing, and interface functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 17.5 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, lookup tables, and localized data storage without extensive external memory.
• I/O Count  564 device I/O pins to support wide external interfacing and multiple parallel buses or high-pin-count peripherals.
• Family Architecture  Stratix IV device family features—documented in the Stratix IV Device Handbook—include high-speed transceiver features, DSP blocks, PLLs, clock networks, and external memory interface support.
• Package & Mounting  1152-ball FCBGA (listed as 1152-BBGA/FCBGA) with supplier device package 1152-FBGA (35×35 mm); surface-mount mounting type for PCB assembly.
• Power  Core voltage supply range specified at 870 mV to 930 mV to match system power-rail planning.
• Operating Range  Commercial-grade operating temperature from 0 °C to 85 °C for typical commercial applications.
• Regulatory  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications  Implement protocol engines, parallel packet processing, and interface bridging using abundant logic and I/O resources.
• Data acquisition and processing  On-chip memory and DSP-oriented family features support buffering and real-time signal processing tasks.
• External memory interfacing  Use the device to drive and manage external memory interfaces while leveraging embedded RAM for caching and control.
• Custom hardware acceleration  Deploy large, application-specific datapaths and control logic within the FPGA fabric for compute offload and latency-sensitive functions.

Unique Advantages

• Large programmable fabric: 228,000 logic elements enable integration of complex state machines, datapaths, and control logic on a single device, reducing board-level component count.
• Significant on-chip memory: Approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded RAM supports local buffering and lookup operations, minimizing external memory bandwidth and latency requirements.
• Extensive I/O capacity: 564 I/O pins provide flexibility for parallel interfaces, multi-channel connections, and high pin-count peripherals.
• Stratix IV family capabilities: Family features such as high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, and robust clocking options (PLLs and clock networks) provide building blocks for high-throughput designs.
• Compact system integration: 1152-ball FCBGA/FBGA package in a 35×35 mm footprint enables dense board designs while supporting surface-mount assembly.
• Regulatory and supply considerations: RoHS compliance and documented operating ranges simplify environmental and procurement planning for commercial deployments.
