EP4SGX360KF43C3G

The EP4SGX360KF43C3G is a commercial‑grade Stratix IV family FPGA from Intel, delivered in a high‑density FCBGA package. It combines a large logic fabric with substantial embedded memory and extensive I/O resources to address demanding digital design tasks.

With 353,600 logic elements and approximately 23 Mbits of embedded memory, this device targets applications that require high aggregate data bandwidth, complex signal processing, and broad external interfacing while operating from a low core supply voltage.

Key Features

• Core Logic: 353,600 logic elements provide a substantial programmable fabric for implementing complex digital functions and custom accelerators.
• Embedded Memory: Approximately 23 Mbits of on‑chip RAM to support buffering, packet storage, and on‑FPGA data structures.
• I/O Capacity: Up to 880 user I/O pins enable wide external connectivity and parallel interfaces for memory, sensors, and peripherals.
• Package & Mounting: 1760‑pin FCBGA (1760‑FCBGA, 42.5 × 42.5 mm) in a surface‑mount format for high‑density board integration.
• Power Supply: Core voltage supply range of 870 mV to 930 mV, consistent with low‑voltage FPGA core operation.
• Operating Temperature & Grade: Commercial grade with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Architecture Features (series handbook): Device documentation highlights Stratix IV architecture features including embedded DSP blocks, PLLs, clock networks, and high‑speed transceiver capability for high‑bandwidth designs.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant, meeting common environmental requirements for electronic assemblies.

Typical Applications

• High‑bandwidth communications: Large logic capacity and references to high‑speed transceiver features make the device suitable for packet processing, interface bridging, and protocol handling.
• Signal processing and acceleration: Substantial logic and embedded memory, together with documented DSP block support in the device family, enable on‑chip data path acceleration and real‑time processing.
• Memory interface and buffering: The combination of many I/O pins and significant on‑chip RAM supports external memory interfacing, buffering, and complex memory controllers.
• Custom compute and system integration: High logic density and extensive I/O allow integration of multiple system functions—control, data plane, and interface logic—into a single FPGA package.

Unique Advantages

• High logic capacity: 353,600 logic elements enable implementation of large, partitioned designs or densely packed custom logic blocks.
• Substantial on‑chip memory: Approximately 23 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces reliance on external memory for intermediate storage and accelerates data‑intensive operations.
• Extensive I/O resources: 880 I/O pins offer flexibility for parallel interfaces, wide buses, and multiple peripheral connections without external multiplexing.
• Dense, board‑level integration: 1760‑pin FCBGA package (42.5 × 42.5 mm) supports compact, high‑density PCB layouts for space‑constrained systems.
• Low core voltage operation: Narrow supply window (870–930 mV) reflects optimized core power delivery for the device family’s fabrication and architecture.
• Documented architecture: The Stratix IV device handbook provides architecture-level detail—clocking, PLLs, DSP resources, and transceiver features—helpful for system design and validation.
