EP4SGX360FH29I3

The EP4SGX360FH29I3 is an Intel Stratix IV GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) offered in a 780-ball BGA (FCBGA) package. It delivers a large fabric with 353,600 logic elements and approximately 23.1 Mbits of embedded memory to support complex digital designs and high-density integration.

Designed for industrial-grade applications, the device provides 289 I/Os, built-in high-performance on-chip resources (PLLs, transceivers, DSP and TriMatrix memory blocks noted in the device documentation), and a robust operating range to meet demanding system requirements.

Key Features

• High-density logic: 353,600 logic elements for large-scale integration and complex logic implementation.
• Embedded memory: Approximately 23.1 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support deep buffering, lookup tables, and state storage within the FPGA fabric.
• I/O and package: 289 user I/Os in a 780-BBGA (FCBGA) package; supplier device package listed as 780-HBGA (33×33) and surface-mount mounting for board-level integration.
• On-chip system resources: Device documentation identifies transceivers, PLLs, DSP blocks, TriMatrix memory blocks, clock-tree structures, configuration and JTAG support, and a temperature sensing diode—enabling integrated timing, high-speed I/O, and signal processing functions.
• Power supply: Core/operating voltage range from 870 mV to 930 mV to match system power domains and design constraints.
• Industrial operating range and compliance: Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C and RoHS compliant for environmental compatibility.

Typical Applications

• High-performance communications: Suitable for systems requiring integrated transceivers and large logic capacity for protocol processing and packet handling.
• Signal processing and DSP: On-chip DSP blocks and abundant logic elements support real-time filtering, transforms, and pipeline processing tasks.
• Enterprise and network equipment: Large embedded memory and I/O count enable buffering, queuing, and extensive interface integration for networking platforms.
• Industrial control and automation: Industrial-grade temperature rating and high integration density allow deployment in control systems and sensor/actuator aggregation.

Unique Advantages

• Large logic capacity: 353,600 logic elements provide headroom for complex state machines, protocol stacks, and custom accelerators.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 23.1 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces reliance on external memory for many designs, simplifying board layout and BOM.
• Integrated system resources: Built-in transceivers, PLLs, DSP and TriMatrix memory blocks (documented in the device handbook) streamline implementation of high-speed interfaces and signal-processing pipelines.
• Industrial temperature support: −40 °C to 100 °C operating range allows deployment in a wide variety of environmental conditions.
• Compact BGA packaging: 780-ball FCBGA (33×33) surface-mount package supports high pin-count designs while maintaining a compact board footprint.
• Regulatory and environmental compliance: RoHS compliant to meet environmental requirements for commercial and industrial product lines.
