EP4SGX230KF40I4N

The Altera EP4SGX230KF40I4N is a radiation-tolerant FPGA from the Stratix IV GX family, designed for demanding aerospace and defense applications. It boasts 230,000 logic elements and 143,750 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), providing significant processing power.

This FPGA includes 6.7 Mbits of embedded memory, organized into M9K and M144K blocks, and 512 DSP blocks for complex signal processing tasks. It features 16 full-duplex transceivers capable of data rates up to 8.5 Gbps, along with support for PCI Express Gen2 x8 endpoint and DDR3/DDR2 memory interfaces.

Operating within a temperature range of -55°C to +125°C, the EP4SGX230KF40I4N is built for harsh environments. Its radiation-hardened design is compliant with aerospace industry standards, including a Total Ionizing Dose (TID) tolerance of up to 30 krad(Si). The device is housed in a 40x40mm Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package and is MIL-STD-883 compliant.

Applications include airborne and ground-based radar signal processing, electronic warfare systems, satellite communication payloads, missile guidance, and avionics data processing. Its integrated high-speed serial interfaces and DSP blocks reduce system complexity while maintaining signal integrity.
