EP4CGX22CF19C6N - Cyclone IV GX FPGA, 22K LEs, 324-FBGA | Intel
The Intel EP4CGX22CF19C6N is a Cyclone IV GX family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) delivering 21,280 logic elements, 1,330 Kbits of embedded memory, and integrated 3.125 Gbps transceivers in a 324-ball fine-pitch BGA (F19, 19x19mm, 1.0mm pitch) package. Built on a low-power 60 nm process, the device operates from a 1.2 V core supply and is offered in a commercial temperature grade. The Cyclone IV GX series combines high-density programmable logic with hard IP blocks including 18x18 multipliers, embedded memory blocks, PLLs, and high-speed serial transceivers, making it suitable for cost-sensitive applications that require both logic density and serial connectivity.
An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a type of programmable logic IC (semiconductor) that allows designers to implement arbitrary digital logic, memory, and DSP functions through a configuration bitstream. FPGAs sit hierarchically above standard logic ICs and below ASICs in the digital design hierarchy, offering rapid prototyping, in-field reprogrammability, and parallel processing capabilities. The Cyclone IV GX family in particular adds integrated transceivers, bridging the gap between pure-logic FPGAs and high-end transceiver-equipped families used in communications, industrial, and test equipment.
Key features of the EP4CGX22CF19C6N include up to 150 user I/O pins, up to 66 (9x6) 18x18 multipliers, embedded memory blocks totaling 774 Kbits, configuration via JTAG or serial/parallel flash, and support for LVDS, LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards. The integrated transceivers support CPRI, OBSAI, PCIe Gen1, Serial RapidIO, and Gigabit Ethernet protocols, enabling protocol-bridged backplane and line-card designs.
Technically, the device uses a 4-input lookup table (LUT) architecture combined with dedicated routing, with embedded RAM blocks configurable as single-port RAM, dual-port RAM, FIFO, or ROM. Hard IP blocks include PLLs for clock synthesis, DLLs for precise timing, and the transceiver physical layer. The Quartus II (and current Quartus Prime) tool chain provides synthesis, place-and-route, timing analysis, and simulation support, with extensive IP libraries for DDR memory controllers, Ethernet MACs, and DSP blocks.
Typical applications include industrial motor control, video surveillance with on-chip image preprocessing, low-cost wireless backhaul baseband, test and measurement equipment, PCIe endpoint cards, and serial RapidIO bridges. The combination of integrated transceivers and 22K logic elements strikes a useful balance between logic density and cost for embedded designs.
When designing with this device, plan I/O bank assignment carefully, as each bank shares a VCCIO supply and supports a defined I/O standard set. Use the Quartus PowerPlay power analyzer for accurate thermal estimation, and follow the F19 package layout guidelines for escape routing and decoupling. The exposed die pad (ePAD) must be soldered to a grounded thermal pad for proper operation.
