EP4SGX230KF40C4N

The EP4SGX230KF40C4N is a Stratix IV GX field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC manufactured by Intel. This commercial‑grade, surface‑mount device delivers large programmable logic capacity together with substantial embedded memory and a high I/O count for complex digital designs.

Designed for applications that require dense logic, on‑chip memory resources, and extensive I/O connectivity, the device combines 9,120 LABs with 228,000 logic elements, approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded memory, and 744 I/O pins to support integration of multi‑function systems.

Key Features

• Programmable logic capacity — 9,120 LABs providing 228,000 logic elements for large, fine‑grained digital designs.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 17.5 Mbits of on‑chip RAM to support buffering, state machines, and memory‑intensive logic functions.
• I/O density — 744 general‑purpose I/Os to support high pin‑count interfaces and multi‑lane connectivity.
• Transceivers and DSP resources (device family) — The Stratix IV device handbook specifies transceiver performance and DSP block specifications for the family, enabling serial link and DSP‑oriented implementations as documented in the datasheet.
• Configuration and debug — Configuration and JTAG specifications are provided in the Stratix IV device documentation for device programming and system debug.
• Package and mounting — 1517‑BBGA (1517‑FBGA, 40×40) FCBGA package in a surface‑mount form factor for board‑level integration.
• Power and thermal — Core supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV and an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for commercial applications.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑bandwidth communications — On‑device transceiver capabilities (documented in the Stratix IV handbook) and the large I/O count support multi‑lane serial links and protocol bridging.
• DSP and signal processing — DSP block specifications included in the device family documentation enable implementation of compute‑intensive signal processing functions using the FPGA fabric and embedded memory.
• Large logic integration and prototyping — 228,000 logic elements and 9,120 LABs accommodate complex control, processing, and glue logic in a single programmable device.
• Memory‑centric designs — Approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded RAM supports buffering, packet processing, and on‑chip data storage for system functions.

Unique Advantages

• High-density programmable fabric: 228,000 logic elements provide the capacity to integrate multiple subsystems onto a single device, reducing external component count.
• Substantial on‑chip memory: Approximately 17.5 Mbits of embedded RAM enables local data retention and high‑speed buffering without relying solely on external memory.
• Extensive I/O availability: 744 I/Os support rich peripheral interfaces, parallel buses, and multi‑lane connectivity for complex system designs.
• Package suitable for board integration: 1517‑BBGA (40×40 FCBGA) surface‑mount package facilitates compact, high‑density PCB layouts.
• Datasheet-backed subsystem support: Detailed Stratix IV device handbook content—covering transceivers, PLLs, DSP blocks, memory block specifications, configuration, and DC/switching characteristics—supports informed design choices.
• Commercial grade and RoHS compliant: Specifies an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for standard commercial product deployments.
