EP4SGX290KF40C2G

The EP4SGX290KF40C2G is a Stratix IV–family FPGA device offering substantial programmable logic capacity and system-level features targeted at high-performance designs. The device combines a large number of logic elements and embedded memory with the Stratix IV architecture's documented transceiver, DSP, and clocking capabilities.

It is suited for designs that require high aggregate data bandwidth, extensive I/O connectivity, and on-chip memory for buffering and processing, where a commercial-grade, RoHS-compliant FCBGA package and surface-mount mounting are appropriate.

Key Features

• Logic capacity — 291,200 logic elements to implement complex combinational and sequential logic.
• Embedded memory — approximately 17.66 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffers, FIFOs, and local storage.
• I/O count — 744 I/O pins to support broad external interfaces and parallel connectivity.
• Stratix IV device architecture — documented Stratix IV features including high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, and flexible clock networks as described in the device handbook.
• High-speed transceiver support — includes Stratix IV GX transceiver features and related signal-integrity and protocol support capabilities noted in the device documentation.
• Clocking and timing — integrated PLLs and clock networks for system timing and synchronization (per device handbook).
• Power supply — core voltage supply range 870 mV to 930 mV to match targeted power domains.
• Package and mounting — 1517-BBGA (FCBGA) package; supplier device package 1517-FBGA (40×40); surface-mount mounting.
• Commercial grade and temperature — commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications — implement serial links and protocol interfaces using the Stratix IV GX transceiver features and wide protocol support.
• Network and data infrastructure — use the large logic capacity and embedded memory for packet processing, buffering, and protocol handling in networking equipment.
• Signal processing and DSP acceleration — leverage on-chip memory and DSP block capabilities documented for the Stratix IV family to accelerate compute-intensive workloads.
• External memory interfaces — implement memory controllers and high-throughput interfaces supported by the device architecture.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: 291,200 logic elements provide headroom for complex SoC-style designs and multi-function implementations.
• Significant on-chip memory: approximately 17.66 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for many buffering and storage needs.
• Extensive I/O support: 744 I/O pins accommodate diverse peripheral and bus interfaces without extensive external multiplexing.
• Stratix IV documented feature set: device handbook coverage of transceivers, DSP blocks, and clocking simplifies architectural decisions and design planning.
• Compact surface-mount package: 1517-FBGA (40×40) FCBGA package supports dense board-level integration in commercial applications.
• Regulatory and assembly readiness: Commercial-grade temperature rating and RoHS compliance align with standard manufacturing and environmental requirements.
