EP4SGX290FF35C4G

The EP4SGX290FF35C4G is an Intel (Altera) Stratix IV GX family FPGA offering high logic density and comprehensive I/O integration for demanding digital designs. It pairs a large array of programmable logic with embedded memory and Stratix IV architecture features such as high-speed transceivers, DSP resources, and flexible clocking documented in the Stratix IV Device Handbook.

This device targets applications that require substantial on-chip resources and extensive I/O connectivity, providing a platform for high-bandwidth protocol handling, DSP acceleration, and complex system integration while operating within commercial temperature and low-voltage supply constraints.

Key Features

• High logic density — 291,200 logic elements to implement large-scale combinational and sequential logic for complex designs.
• Significant embedded memory — approximately 17.66 Mbits of total on-chip RAM to support buffers, packet queues, and intermediate data storage for DSP and streaming applications.
• Extensive I/O — 564 user I/O pins for broad peripheral, memory, and high-speed serial interface connectivity.
• Stratix IV GX architecture — includes high-speed transceiver and signal-integrity features, DSP blocks, PLLs, and advanced clock networks as described in the Stratix IV Device Handbook.
• Low-voltage core — specified supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV for core operation.
• Commercial temperature grade — specified operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C for standard commercial deployments.
• Package and assembly — available in high-pin-count BGA formats (1152-BBGA, FCBGA) with supplier device package 1152-FBGA (35×35); surface-mount mounting type.
• RoHS compliant — meets RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• High-speed serial communications — leveraging Stratix IV GX transceiver and signal-integrity features for protocol bridging and line-rate packet processing.
• Digital signal processing and acceleration — large logic capacity and embedded memory enable custom DSP pipelines and hardware accelerators.
• External memory controllers and interfaces — abundant I/O and on-chip resources support implementation of high-bandwidth memory interfaces and buffering.
• Systems integration and prototyping — dense logic and flexible clocking make the device suitable for complex system integration and feature-rich prototype platforms.

Unique Advantages

• High-capacity programmable fabric: 291,200 logic elements provide the headroom to realize complex control, signal processing, and protocol functions on a single device.
• Substantial on-chip memory: approximately 17.66 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce external memory dependency for many buffering and state storage needs.
• Large I/O complement: 564 I/O pins simplify routing to external devices, memory, and transceivers without extreme board-level multiplexing.
• Stratix IV GX feature set: architecture-level support for high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, and advanced clocking architectures enables reliable high-bandwidth designs as documented in the device handbook.
• Compact, manufacturable package: 1152-pin FBGA package options and surface-mount mounting support dense, production-ready board designs.
• Commercial deployment ready: RoHS compliance and a 0 °C–85 °C operating range align with standard commercial product requirements.
