EP4SGX290NF45C4N

The EP4SGX290NF45C4N is a Stratix IV GX FPGA from Intel, offered in a 1932-BBGA (FCBGA) 45×45 package for surface-mount applications. It provides high logic density, large on‑chip memory, and a wide complement of I/O to support demanding system designs in communications, signal processing, and high-throughput data applications.

Built on the Stratix IV architecture, the device includes architecture features and I/O capabilities documented for the family, delivering a balance of integration, connectivity, and low-voltage operation suitable for commercial-grade applications operating between 0 °C and 85 °C.

Key Features

• High logic density — 291,200 logic elements provide a large programmable fabric for complex logic, control and compute functions.
• Embedded memory — approximately 17.66 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, packet processing, and embedded data structures.
• Extensive I/O — 920 general-purpose I/O pins to support broad connectivity and interfacing with peripherals and external memory.
• Stratix IV GX architecture features — device family documentation highlights high-speed transceiver features, DSP blocks, PLLs and robust clock networks for system-level integration.
• Package and mounting — 1932-BBGA (FCBGA) 45×45 supplier package designed for surface-mount assembly in compact form factors.
• Low-voltage core — nominal supply range from 870 mV to 930 mV for core operation, enabling low-voltage system designs.
• Commercial temperature grade — specified operating range from 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant for standard commercial applications.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications and networking — the Stratix IV GX architecture and high I/O count support protocol implementation, packet processing and multi-gigabit interfaces.
• Digital signal processing — abundant logic elements and embedded memory enable DSP pipelines and real‑time data path acceleration using on‑device resources.
• External memory interfacing and buffering — large on-chip RAM combined with many I/Os supports external memory controllers, buffering and host interfaces.
• Custom compute and control — programmable fabric is suitable for custom hardware accelerators, control logic and system orchestration in commercial products.

Unique Advantages

• High integration density: 291,200 logic elements reduce the need for external glue logic and simplify multi-function designs.
• Substantial on-chip memory: approximately 17.66 Mbits of embedded RAM supports large buffers and local data storage without external RAM.
• Broad peripheral connectivity: 920 I/Os enable flexible interfacing options for sensors, memory, transceivers and system peripherals.
• Family-level architecture features: Stratix IV GX documentation indicates support for high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks and PLLs to build synchronized, high-bandwidth systems.
• Compact, production-ready package: 1932-BBGA (FCBGA) surface-mount package in a 45×45 format supports dense board-level integration.
• Low-voltage core operation: 870 mV–930 mV supply range helps designs targeting reduced core power domains.
