EP4SGX290KF40C3G

The EP4SGX290KF40C3G is an Intel Stratix IV family FPGA device, built for designs that require large programmable logic capacity, abundant I/O, and embedded memory. It implements the Stratix IV GX architecture elements described in the device handbook to support high-speed transceiver features, DSP blocks, and flexible I/O integration.

This commercial-grade, surface-mount FCBGA device is suited to systems that demand significant on-chip resources—such as communications, networking, digital signal processing, and other high-bandwidth applications—while providing a clear hardware resource profile for design planning and procurement.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 291,200 logic elements for complex digital designs and large-scale programmable functions.
• LAB/CLB Count  Includes 11,648 logic array blocks (LABs) to structure and scale logic partitioning and floorplanning.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 17.66 Mbits of on-chip RAM enables large buffering, lookup tables, and memory-intensive processing without external memory for many use cases.
• I/O Density  744 I/O pins to support wide bus interfaces, parallel data lanes, and mixed-signal board-level connectivity.
• Stratix IV Device Family Features  Documented family features include high-speed transceiver support, DSP blocks, PLLs, and flexible clock networks as described in the Stratix IV Device Handbook.
• Low-Voltage Core  Core voltage supply specified at 870 mV to 930 mV for compatibility with system power architectures that match the device core requirements.
• Package and Mounting  1517-ball FCBGA (1517-FBGA, 40×40) package, surface-mount, designed for dense board integration.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature, suitable for commercial electronic equipment.
• RoHS Compliant  Meets RoHS environmental requirements for restricted substances.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Communications  Used in networking and telecom equipment to implement protocol engines, packet processing, and transceiver-based interfaces leveraging Stratix IV high-speed transceiver features.
• Digital Signal Processing  Applies to DSP-heavy systems where on-chip DSP blocks and approximately 17.66 Mbits of embedded RAM accelerate filtering, transforms, and real-time processing.
• Data Acquisition and Aggregation  Ideal for multi-channel data capture and aggregation tasks that require large I/O counts (744 I/Os) and substantial on-chip buffering.
• Prototyping and Custom Hardware  Fits advanced FPGA-based prototypes and custom hardware accelerators that need large logic resources and flexible I/O mapping.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 291,200 logic elements give designers the headroom to implement complex state machines, parallel datapaths, and large custom accelerators on a single device.
• Substantial On-Chip Memory: Approximately 17.66 Mbits of embedded memory reduces the need for external RAM in many buffering and lookup scenarios, simplifying BOM and board routing.
• Extensive I/O Capacity: 744 I/Os enable wide bus interfaces, multi-lane signaling, and flexible board-level connectivity without multiplexing compromises.
• Stratix IV Family Capabilities: Family-level features such as high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, and robust clocking options offer a documented foundation for implementing high-bandwidth and protocol-rich designs.
• Compact Surface-Mount FCBGA: The 1517-FBGA package supports dense PCB integration while providing the pad count required for high I/O and power delivery.
• Commercial Deployment Ready: With a 0 °C to 85 °C rating and RoHS compliance, the device is suitable for commercial electronic product lines that align with these environmental requirements.
