EP1AGX20CF484I6

The EP1AGX20CF484I6 is an Intel Arria GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 484-ball BGA package. It delivers moderate logic density, on-chip embedded memory, and a broad I/O complement for industrial embedded and communications applications.

Built on the Arria GX device family architecture, this device is suited for designs that need flexible logic resources, multi-standard I/O and low-voltage core operation across an industrial temperature range.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 21,580 logic elements for implementing custom digital logic, control and processing functions.
• Embedded Memory  Includes approximately 1.23 Mbits of on-chip RAM for data buffering, FIFOs and embedded storage.
• I/O and Packaging  230 user I/O pins delivered in a 484-BBGA package (supplier package: 484-FBGA, 23×23) with surface-mount mounting for PCB assembly.
• Voltage and Power  Core supply voltage range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match low-voltage FPGA power rails.
• Industrial Temperature Range  Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for use in industrial environments.
• Arria GX Series Transceiver and Architecture Features  Arria GX family devices include high-speed serial transceiver technology and architecture features such as dedicated transceiver circuitry, CDR support up to 3.125 Gbps, and TriMatrix memory organization (as described in the Arria GX device handbook).
• System-Level Resources  Family-level features include multiple global and regional clock networks, enhanced PLL capability, and DSP-oriented building blocks for arithmetic acceleration (as described in the device handbook).
• RoHS Compliant  Manufactured in compliance with RoHS requirements.

Typical Applications

• High-speed serial interfaces  Implement PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, XAUI or other serial links supported by Arria GX transceiver technology for network and communications equipment.
• Video and broadcast transport  Support SDI or other serial video protocols where Arria GX family transceivers and embedded memory are used for packet alignment and buffering.
• Custom serial/IP bridges  Develop proprietary serial-based IP or protocol bridges leveraging the family’s SERDES and CDR-capable transceivers.
• Industrial control and instrumentation  Provide deterministic control logic and I/O interfacing across a −40 °C to 100 °C operating range.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory:  21,580 logic elements combined with approximately 1.23 Mbits of embedded RAM simplifies implementation of moderate-complexity algorithms and data buffering without immediate external memory.
• Wide I/O count in a compact package:  230 I/Os in a 484-ball BGA footprint enable dense routing and flexible interfacing to external components and high-speed connectors.
• Low-voltage core support:  1.15–1.25 V core range aligns with modern low-voltage FPGA power domains for efficient board-level power architecture.
• Industrial temperature capability:  Rated −40 °C to 100 °C for deployment in industrial systems and harsher operating conditions.
• Family-level high-speed transceiver technology:  Access to Arria GX transceiver features such as CDR and SERDES functionality supports standard and custom high-speed serial protocols.
• Standards-aligned architecture:  Design resources described in the Arria GX handbook—PLLs, clock networks and DSP blocks—help accelerate implementation of complex timing and signal-processing functions.
