EP4CGX22CF19C7N Overview

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP4CGX22CF19C7N is a Cyclone IV GX family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) delivering 21,280 logic elements, 774,144 bits of embedded memory, and 150 user I/O in a 324-ball FineLine BGA (FBGA-324) package. It integrates up to two 3.125 Gbps transceivers, hardware multipliers, and PLL blocks, targeting cost-sensitive serial-protocol and digital-signal designs. The device operates from a 1.2 V core supply with additional 2.5 V/3.3 V I/O bank support, packaged in a 19 mm x 19 mm body with 1.0 mm ball pitch.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a programmable logic device (PLD) that combines the architecture of gate arrays with the flexibility of in-system programmability. Within the broader taxonomy, an FPGA belongs to programmable logic -> digital IC -> semiconductor. Cyclone IV GX is Intel's low-power, transceiver-equipped FPGA family positioned between the smaller Cyclone IV E and the higher-density Cyclone V series, optimized for applications requiring multi-gigabit transceivers at low static and dynamic power.

Key features include 21,280 logic elements organized into 1,330 Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs), 66 embedded 18x18 multipliers, 4 PLLs, and dual 3.125 Gbps transceivers supporting PCIe Gen1, Serial RapidIO, and Gigabit Ethernet protocols. The device supports LVDS, LVTTL, LVPECL, SSTL, and HSTL I/O standards, with per-bank programmable drive strength and slew rate. Memory resources include 774 Kbits of embedded RAM distributed across M9K blocks plus 46 Kbits of ROM.

The Cyclone IV GX family uses a low-power 60 nm process technology with adaptive logic modules (ALMs) and fine-grained clock networks, achieving up to 50% lower static power than Cyclone III. The integrated transceivers feature adaptive equalization, signal detection, and CDR circuits, eliminating external PHY components for short-reach serial links.

Typical applications include industrial video processing, low-cost PCIe endpoint cards, motor control, software-defined radio front-ends, and embedded vision systems. Designers typically select this device when they need integrated multi-gigabit serial I/O without the cost of larger Cyclone V or Stratix families.

When designing with this device, pay attention to transceiver reference clock routing and decoupling: place 0.1 uF and 10 uF capacitors near every supply pin and follow Intel's Pin Connection Guidelines for unused transceiver channels to minimize crosstalk.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, pin-compatible same-family alternatives, and reference-design notes that go beyond the datasheet alone, helping engineers select the right OPN for production.

  • Larger 21,280 LE fabric with 150 I/O (vs EP4CGX22BF14I7N)
  • Mature 60 nm low-power process technology (vs EP4CGX110CF23C7N)

Design Notes

The EP4CGX22CF19C7N requires separate 1.2 V core and 2.5 V/3.3 V I/O supply rails. Use a power-supply sequencer or the TI TPS3808 voltage supervisor to ensure core voltage rises before I/O voltage. Decoupling requires at minimum 24 x 0.1 uF MLCC and 8 x 10 uF bulk capacitors placed within 5 mm of the FBGA-324 F19 balls. Estimated: at full 80% utilization, total power dissipation is 1.0-1.5 W, requiring at least 2 square inches of inner copper plane.

Follow Intel's Pin Connection Guidelines for unused transceiver channels: leave unused TX/RX pins floating, do not connect to ground. Route reference clock (REFCLK) traces as 100 ohm differential with length matching within 5 mil. Place PCIe TX/RX traces in the upper signal layer with continuous ground reference plane beneath. Avoid routing signals across the transceiver power island to minimize EMI.

Do not confuse F19 (FBGA-324, 19x19 mm) with F14 (FBGA-169, 14x14 mm) package variants - they have different pin counts and ballouts. Ensure configuration mode (MSEL pins) matches your AS, PS, JTAG, or Fast Passive Parallel scheme. When using dual-boot images, the CFI flash must support 16-bit asynchronous reads. Always program the FPGA's unique 64-bit chip ID into your design for traceability.
