EP4SGX360FH29C3

The EP4SGX360FH29C3 is a Stratix IV GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel, providing a high-density programmable fabric built on the Stratix IV family architecture. It combines a large logic capacity, substantial on-chip embedded memory, and a high I/O count in a 780-ball BGA package for commercial-grade designs.

Designed for applications that require high aggregate bandwidth and extensive logic and memory resources, this device is positioned for complex data-path processing, I/O-intensive systems, and designs that leverage Stratix IV GX device family features such as high-speed transceiver support documented in the device handbook.

Key Features

• High Logic Capacity — 353,600 logic elements provide extensive programmable fabric for large designs and complex algorithms.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 23.1 Mbits of on-chip RAM (23,105,536 total RAM bits) for data buffering, FIFOs, and state storage close to logic.
• High I/O Count — 289 user I/O pins to support multiple external interfaces and parallel connectivity requirements.
• Stratix IV GX Architecture — Device family features and high-speed transceiver capabilities as described in the Stratix IV device handbook enable high aggregate data bandwidth and a wide range of protocol support.
• Power Supply Range — Core supply specified from 870 mV to 930 mV for system power planning and supply design.
• Package and Mounting — 780-BBGA (FCBGA) package, supplier device package listed as 780-HBGA (33×33), designed for surface-mount assembly.
• Commercial Grade and Temperature Range — Commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing and environmental compliance.

Typical Applications

• High-bandwidth communications — Use the Stratix IV GX architecture and high-speed transceiver features for designs that require substantial aggregate data throughput and protocol flexibility.
• Data-path and signal processing — Large logic capacity and approximately 23.1 Mbits of embedded memory allow implementation of complex DSP pipelines, buffering, and real-time processing.
• I/O-intensive system controllers — With 289 I/O pins, the device supports multi-channel interfaces, parallel peripherals, and complex system integration tasks.
• Prototype and commercial designs — Commercial-grade temperature rating and surface-mount 780-BBGA package support production deployments within commercial operating environments.

Unique Advantages

• Large programmable fabric: 353,600 logic elements let you implement complex logic and integration of multiple subsystems on a single device.
• Significant on-chip memory: Approximately 23.1 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces external memory dependency and shortens data paths for lower latency.
• High I/O density: 289 I/O pins enable extensive external connectivity without additional interface chips, simplifying board-level design.
• Family-level transceiver support: Stratix IV GX device features documented in the device handbook provide a foundation for high aggregate bandwidth and broad protocol support.
• Compact surface-mount package: 780-ball BGA package (supplier: 780-HBGA 33×33) balances high integration density with standard PCB assembly processes.
• Regulatory hygiene: RoHS compliance supports environmentally conscious manufacturing requirements.
