EP4SGX360KF40C2

The EP4SGX360KF40C2 is a Stratix IV GX field programmable gate array (FPGA) IC from Intel. It delivers a high-density programmable fabric with a large embedded memory complement and dedicated high-speed transceiver and clocking features described in the Stratix IV device handbook.

This device targets applications requiring significant logic capacity, extensive I/O, and on-chip memory for high aggregate data bandwidth, system integration, and DSP-oriented designs.

Key Features

• High-density logic — 353,600 logic elements (cells) for complex programmable logic implementations and system-level integration.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 23 Mbits of on-chip RAM (23,105,536 total RAM bits) to support large buffers, FIFOs, and on-chip data storage.
• I/O capacity — 744 user I/O pins to connect high-pin-count peripherals, memory interfaces, and board-level subsystems.
• Stratix IV GX architecture — Device family features include high-speed transceivers, DSP blocks, PLLs and advanced clock networks as documented in the Stratix IV device handbook.
• Power and voltage — Core supply operating range from 870 mV to 930 mV to match Stratix IV GX core voltage requirements.
• Package and mounting — 1517-BBGA / 1517-FBGA (40×40) FCBGA package in a surface-mount form factor for compact board integration.
• Operating range and grade — Commercial-grade device rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed communications — Leverage the Stratix IV GX high‑speed transceiver features and abundant I/O for multi-channel serial links and protocol bridging.
• Digital signal processing — Large logic capacity and approximately 23 Mbits of embedded memory support DSP pipelines, filtering and real-time data manipulation.
• Memory interface controllers — High I/O count and Stratix IV external memory interface features enable complex SDR/DDR controller implementation and boards with extensive external memory.
• System integration and prototyping — Dense logic and on-chip resources make the device suitable for integrating multiple subsystems or validating complex system-level functions.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated fabric: 353,600 logic elements reduce the need for multiple discrete devices when implementing large logic functions.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 23 Mbits of embedded RAM supports large buffers and state storage without relying solely on external memory.
• High I/O density: 744 I/O pins allow direct interfacing to a wide range of peripherals and parallel buses, minimizing external multiplexing.
• Stratix IV GX feature set: Built-in high-speed transceiver capabilities, DSP blocks, and clocking resources (as described in the device handbook) enable bandwidth‑intensive and timing‑critical designs.
• Compact, board-friendly package: 1517-FBGA (40×40) surface-mount package simplifies placement on dense PCBs while providing high ball-count connectivity.
• Regulatory and supply considerations: Commercial grade with RoHS compliance for standard commercial product workflows.
