EP4SGX70DF29I3

The EP4SGX70DF29I3 is an Intel Stratix IV GX field-programmable gate array delivered in a 780-ball FCBGA package. It combines high logic density with substantial on-chip memory and a broad I/O complement to address demanding industrial and communications-oriented designs.

Designed for applications that require abundant programmable logic, embedded memory, and wide I/O bandwidth, this device pairs 72,600 logic elements and approximately 7.56 Mbits of embedded memory with 372 I/Os and an industrial operating temperature range for reliable operation across -40 °C to 100 °C.

Key Features

• Logic Density — 72,600 logic elements provide a large fabric for implementing complex functions, custom accelerators, and system integration on a single device.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 7.56 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, packet processing, and data-path storage without external memory for many use cases.
• I/O Capability — 372 general I/Os to support extensive peripheral interfacing, multi-channel data acquisition, and board-level connectivity.
• Package and Mounting — 780-BBGA FCBGA (29 × 29) supplier device package in a surface-mount form factor for high-density PCB designs.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Specified for operation from -40 °C to 100 °C to meet industrial application thermal requirements.
• Core Supply Range — Voltage supply specified from 870 mV to 930 mV for the device core.
• On‑chip System Resources — Device family documentation includes specifications for PLLs, DSP block functionality, TriMatrix memory blocks, transceiver performance, and detailed clock-tree and switching characteristics, enabling integrated timing and signal-processing designs.
• Standards and Compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Industrial Automation and Control — Large logic capacity and industrial temperature rating enable complex control algorithms, motor drives, and factory-automation interfaces.
• Communications Infrastructure — On-chip transceiver and high I/O count support protocol processing, packet handling, and line-rate interfacing in network equipment.
• High‑Performance Signal Processing — Substantial logic resources and embedded RAM suit DSP pipelines, data acquisition systems, and real‑time processing tasks.
• Test & Measurement — Flexible I/O and dense logic allow custom measurement front-ends, data aggregation, and instrument control implementations.

Unique Advantages

• High integration of logic and memory: 72,600 logic elements paired with approximately 7.56 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce the need for external components and simplify board-level design.
• Extensive I/O support: 372 I/Os provide the flexibility to interface multiple peripherals, ADC/DAC channels, and high-channel-count front ends without complex multiplexing.
• Industrial-ready thermal range: Operation from -40 °C to 100 °C supports deployment in industrial environments and harsh conditions.
• Comprehensive on-chip resources: Family-level specifications for PLLs, DSP blocks, TriMatrix memory, and transceivers enable designers to implement timing, signal processing, and high-speed I/O functions within the device.
• Dense FCBGA package: 780-ball FCBGA (29 × 29) offers a compact footprint for high-density system designs where board space is at a premium.
• Regulatory readiness: RoHS compliance supports lead-free manufacturing and environmental regulatory requirements.
