EP4CGX110CF23C8N Übersicht
A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit built from a matrix of configurable logic blocks, embedded memory, and programmable interconnect that the designer configures after manufacture. Cyclone IV GX sits in the cost- and power-optimized tier of the FPGA hierarchy: FPGA -> Cyclone family -> Cyclone IV generation -> Cyclone IV GX sub-series, the transceiver-capable variant targeting high-volume, cost-sensitive designs.
Key features include 6,839 logic array blocks, 4 high-speed transceivers capable of up to 3.125 Gbps per channel for PCIe Gen1, Gigabit Ethernet, and serial RapidIO, dedicated hardware multipliers and 18x18 DSP blocks, plus a parallel I/O subsystem supporting LVDS, SSTL, and HSTL standards. Hard IP blocks (PCIe Gen1 endpoint, transceiver PMA, and PLLs) accelerate common high-speed interfaces without consuming fabric logic.
The Cyclone IV GX architecture pairs a programmable fabric with hardened interfaces so the designer can use transceivers and PCIe endpoints without instantiating soft logic. Quartus Prime software handles synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure. The C8 speed grade balances timing margin and cost for high-volume production.
Typical applications include industrial video broadcast equipment, low-cost PCIe endpoint cards, motor control, machine vision, software-defined radio front-ends, and embedded display controllers. The 484-FBGA package supports high I/O density with controlled impedance routing for transceiver channels.
When designing with this device, sequence the core, PLL analog, and transceiver supplies separately and follow the IBIS-AMI models for 3.125 Gbps channel simulation. The C8 commercial speed grade is the volume-rate option; I-grade variants are required for industrial temperature ranges.
This page synthesizes distributor pricing, same-family Cyclone IV GX drop-in alternatives, and practical Quartus Prime design notes that go beyond the standalone datasheet to help engineers select and qualify the right variant.

Typische Anwendungen
EP4CGX110CF23C8N ist geeignet für 6 Anwendungs: Industrial Video Broadcast Equipment, Low-Cost PCIe Endpoint Card, Motor Control and Industrial Drive, Machine Vision Camera Interface, Software Defined Radio Front-End, Embedded Display Controller.
Industrial Video Broadcast Equipment
The EP4CGX110CF23C8N fits industrial video broadcast designs because 109,424 logic elements and 5,621,760 bits of embedded memory can buffer multi-stream SDI or HDMI-over-IP pipelines. The 4 transceivers at 3.125 Gbps enable 3G-SDI or GigE Vision aggregation directly, eliminating external serializer chips. Its 1.2 V core draws less power than competing FPGAs in always-on broadcast racks, lowering thermal load. Quartus Prime's hard PCIe Gen1 IP block simplifies host-side control-plane bridging to a CPU over PCIe.
Empfohlen
Low-Cost PCIe Endpoint Card
The EP4CGX110CF23C8N is ideal for low-cost PCIe Gen1 endpoint cards because it integrates a hard PCIe Gen1 endpoint IP block and 4 transceivers, eliminating the need for an external PHY. The 484-FBGA package supports controlled-impedance layout for the PCIe x1 link, while 109K logic elements accommodate endpoint state machines, DMA engines, and custom register interfaces. Compared with discrete PCIe silicon plus a CPLD, this single-chip approach reduces BOM cost and PCB area for industrial I/O cards.
Empfohlen
Motor Control and Industrial Drive
The EP4CGX110CF23C8N suits motor control designs because 109K logic elements handle field-oriented control (FOC) algorithms, SVPWM generation, and encoder interfaces in a single device. The 18x18 hardware multipliers accelerate Park/Clarke transforms, while 5.6 Mbits of embedded memory buffer current-loop sample data at PWM rates. The commercial C8 speed grade meets the 16 kHz to 32 kHz loop rates typical of servo drives. Industrial variants require the I7 speed grade for extended temperature operation.
Empfohlen
Machine Vision Camera Interface
The EP4CGX110CF23C8N fits machine vision camera designs because 4 transceivers handle multiple GigE Vision or CoaXPress lanes, while 5.6 Mbits of embedded memory buffer Bayer-to-RGB conversion look-up tables and frame metadata. 270 user I/Os support parallel sensor interfaces and GPIO expansion. The hard PCIe endpoint enables direct frame-buffer transfer to a host CPU at Gen1 rates, offloading the host from raw pixel transport and freeing CPU cycles for inspection algorithms.
Empfohlen
Software Defined Radio Front-End
The EP4CGX110CF23C8N is well matched to SDR front-end designs where 4 transceivers at 3.125 Gbps digitize multiple IF streams and feed them into 109K logic elements running digital down-conversion and channelization. Embedded memory blocks serve as windowed FIR coefficient storage and FFT working memory. The 1.2 V core reduces total board power versus higher-voltage FPGAs, which matters in fanless sealed SDR enclosures. Quartus Prime DSP Builder accelerates I/Q path implementation.
Empfohlen
Embedded Display Controller
The EP4CGX110CF23C8N supports embedded display controller applications because 270 user I/Os drive LVDS display panels directly, and 5.6 Mbits of embedded memory store gamma correction, color space conversion, and OSD overlays. Transceivers enable remote display links over Gigabit Ethernet for kiosk and digital signage networks. The C8 commercial speed grade handles 1080p60 timing budgets comfortably. Hard PCIe provides a control-plane path to the application processor.

Designhinweise
Estimated: at 50% logic utilization, 4 active transceivers at 3.125 Gbps, and full GPIO toggle, the EP4CGX110CF23C8N consumes approximately 1.5 W to 2.0 W from the 1.2 V core. Sequence VCCINT (1.2 V core), VCCA (2.5 V PLL analog), and VCCIO (per-bank) using a power management IC with monotonic ramp; hot-swap or out-of-order ramps can latch-up the transceivers. Decouple each transceiver supply pin with a 0.1 uF X7R plus 10 uF bulk capacitor within 5 mm of the ball.
Use the 484-FBGA escape pattern from the Intel Cyclone IV Handbook. Breakout uses 0.5 mm pitch with via-in-pad recommended for inner rows to maintain signal integrity on transceiver channels. Route the 4 transceiver pairs on the top microstrip layer with 100 ohm differential impedance and keep within 200 mils of the balls before transitioning to inner stripline layers.
Place the configuration flash (EPCS or compatible) within 100 mils of the Active Serial interface balls. Use a JTAG header accessible from the board edge for production programming and boundary-scan test. Reserve a GPIO pair for nCONFIG-driven reset of the configuration controller to enable field firmware update without powering down the board.
Common pitfalls: (1) forgetting to enable the PCIe hard IP block before bitstream generation in Quartus Prime; (2) selecting the wrong speed grade during synthesis, which fails timing closure at the C8 grade; (3) leaving transceiver REFCLK unconnected - each transceiver requires a dedicated reference clock input for proper CDR locking; (4) using the C8 commercial grade in industrial temperature designs, which causes timing failure and possible bitstream corruption.
For 3.125 Gbps transceiver channels, use the Intel IBIS-AMI models and follow the channel loss budget from the Cyclone IV Device Handbook. Total channel loss should not exceed 12 dB at 1.5 GHz Nyquist. Use AC-coupled capacitors on transmit pairs (default configuration) and verify return loss with a VNA on a coupon test structure before committing to volume PCB fab.
