EP4SGX290KF40C2N

The EP4SGX290KF40C2N is a high-capacity Stratix® IV GX FPGA from Intel, delivered in a 1517-BBGA FCBGA package. It provides a large programmable fabric with extensive I/O and on-chip memory for complex logic, signal processing, and system integration tasks.

Designed for performance-focused embedded and board-level designs, the device combines a substantial logic element count, significant embedded RAM, and documented transceiver, PLL and DSP resources in the Stratix IV device handbook.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 291,200 logic elements to implement large-scale, high-density logic and custom processing pipelines.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 16.8 Mbits of embedded RAM for buffering, lookup tables, and on-chip data storage.
• I/O Density  Up to 744 device I/O pins to support complex interfacing and multiple external buses or transceiver lanes.
• Power Supply  Core supply range specified at 870 mV to 930 mV to match platform power design requirements.
• Package & Mounting  1517-BBGA (supplier package 1517-FBGA, 40×40) in a surface-mount FCBGA format for compact PCB integration.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for standard temperature environments.
• Standards & Compliance  RoHS compliant — meets common environmental material requirements.
• Documented Device Subsystems  The Stratix IV device handbook provides detailed specifications for DC/switching characteristics, transceiver performance, PLLs, DSP blocks, TriMatrix memory blocks, configuration/JTAG and power consumption data.

Typical Applications

• High-speed data interfaces  Leverage the device’s documented transceiver and high I/O count for complex serial or parallel interface implementations.
• Signal processing and DSP acceleration  Use the Stratix IV DSP block specifications and large logic/memory resources to implement real-time filtering, FFTs, and custom accelerators.
• Complex system integration  Integrate multiple control, protocol, and glue-logic functions on a single device thanks to abundant logic elements and embedded RAM.
• Prototyping and advanced embedded designs  Deploy the FPGA for system validation and for designs requiring reprogrammability and high-density logic.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: Enables consolidation of multiple functions into one device, reducing board-level complexity and BOM count.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 16.8 Mbits of embedded RAM supports buffering and local data storage for latency-sensitive designs.
• Extensive I/O capability: 744 I/O pins provide flexibility for interfacing with a wide range of peripherals and high-speed links.
• Compact surface-mount FCBGA packaging: 1517-BBGA (1517-FBGA, 40×40) supports dense PCB layouts while maintaining signal routing options.
• Comprehensive documentation: Device handbook coverage of DC/switching, PLLs, transceivers, DSP and memory blocks aids accurate design and validation.
• RoHS compliance: Aligns with common environmental requirements for modern electronics manufacturing.
