EP1AGX20CF484C6

The EP1AGX20CF484C6 is an Arria GX field‑programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 484‑BBGA package designed for commercial applications. Built on the Arria GX device architecture, this device combines a mid‑density logic array with embedded memory and a broad set of I/O to support protocol bridging, high‑speed serial interfaces, and custom logic implementations.

With 21,580 logic elements, approximately 1.23 Mbits of embedded RAM, and 230 programmable I/Os in a surface‑mount 484‑ball BGA, the part targets designers who need flexible, reconfigurable hardware with dense I/O and on‑chip memory within a commercial temperature range.

Key Features

• Arria GX Architecture Family features include high‑speed serial transceivers and a 1.2‑V logic array architecture, providing a foundation for serial protocol support and custom SERDES IP development.
• Logic Resources 21,580 logic elements for implementing combinational and sequential logic, state machines, and custom datapaths.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 1.23 Mbits of on‑chip RAM (1229184 bits) suitable for FIFOs, buffers, and small shared memory structures.
• I/O and Packaging 230 programmable I/Os in a 484‑BBGA (484‑FBGA 23×23 supplier package) surface‑mount package for high‑density board integration.
• Power and Thermal Core supply range 1.15 V to 1.25 V and commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C for designs targeted at standard commercial environments.
• Clocking and DSP Architecture includes enhanced PLL support and high‑speed DSP resources (as described for the Arria GX family) for clock management and signal processing tasks.
• Configuration and Test Arria GX device handbook references configuration options and JTAG boundary‑scan testing capabilities for in‑system programming and board‑level test.
• RoHS Compliant Device meets RoHS environmental requirements as stated in product data.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed protocol bridging — Implement PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, or other serial protocol endpoints and protocol converters using the Arria GX transceiver capabilities described in the device family documentation.
• Networking and packet processing — Use the FPGA’s logic density, on‑chip RAM, and DSP resources for packet inspection, buffering, and custom forwarding logic.
• Video and SDI transport — Leverage family support for SDI and related protocols to build video transport, alignment, and buffering functions.
• Custom SERDES IP and proprietary links — Develop custom serial interfaces or proprietary high‑speed links taking advantage of the Arria GX transceiver architecture.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory mix: 21,580 logic elements paired with approximately 1.23 Mbits of embedded RAM enable compact implementations of control, buffering, and DSP‑adjacent logic.
• High I/O density: 230 I/O pins in a 484‑BBGA package enable complex board-level connectivity without external I/O expanders.
• Family‑level high‑speed transceiver support: Arria GX family features include transceivers with CDR and SERDES circuitry for mainstream serial protocols, enabling faster time to market for serial‑link designs.
• Commercial temperature and surface‑mount packaging: Suited for standard commercial products with surface‑mount assembly in a compact FBGA footprint.
• Programmable clocking and DSP building blocks: On‑chip PLLs and DSP resources support precise clock management and efficient implementation of signal processing algorithms.
