EP1AGX20CF484I6N

The EP1AGX20CF484I6N is an Intel Arria GX family FPGA provided in a 484‑ball BGA package and specified for industrial use. It delivers 21,580 logic elements, approximately 1.23 Mbits of embedded memory, and 230 I/Os in a surface‑mount 484‑BBGA (supplier package 484‑FBGA, 23×23) footprint.

Built on the Arria GX device architecture, the device is designed for applications that require significant logic density, on‑chip memory and flexible I/O. The Arria GX family includes features such as high‑speed serial transceivers, TriMatrix memory blocks, DSP resources and extensive clocking resources that the device leverages as part of that architecture.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 21,580 logic elements for implementing medium‑to‑high complexity digital designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 1.23 Mbits of on‑chip RAM to support FIFOs, buffers and local data storage.
• I/O Count — 230 available I/O pins to support a wide range of external interfaces and bus connections.
• Power Supply — Core voltage range from 1.15 V to 1.25 V for device operation.
• Industrial Temperature Range — Specified for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for industrial environments.
• Packaging & Mounting — Surface‑mount 484‑BBGA package (supplier package 484‑FBGA, 23×23) for compact board designs.
• Family‑level Architecture — As part of the Arria GX family, benefits from architecture features such as high‑speed serial transceivers (family support up to 3.125 Gbps), TriMatrix memory organization, multiple global and regional clock networks, and dedicated DSP resources (family feature set described in Arria GX documentation).
• RoHS Compliant — Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead‑free assembly.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed communications — Leverage the Arria GX family’s serial transceiver architecture to implement protocol interfacing and packet processing in networking equipment.
• Signal processing and DSP — Use the on‑chip memory and DSP resources to implement filtering, buffering and real‑time data paths in industrial signal processing systems.
• I/O‑intensive control systems — Take advantage of 230 I/Os for complex sensor aggregation, motor control interfaces and industrial automation I/O expansion.
• Embedded system integration — Deploy in compact, surface‑mount designs where logic density, embedded memory and flexible I/O simplify board-level integration.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory capacity: 21,580 logic elements combined with ~1.23 Mbits of embedded RAM provides a practical balance for mid‑range FPGA designs requiring both compute and buffering.
• Industrial temperature rating: Specified −40 °C to 100 °C, enabling deployment in temperature‑challenging industrial environments.
• High I/O availability: 230 I/Os support dense external interfacing and complex board routing without external multiplexing.
• Compact BGA packaging: 484‑BBGA (484‑FBGA 23×23) keeps board footprint small while preserving signal density for system‑level integration.
• Family architecture benefits: Access to Arria GX family features—such as TriMatrix memory, DSP blocks and high‑speed transceiver architecture—helps accelerate design reuse and IP integration.
• RoHS compliance: Supports lead‑free manufacturing and regulatory requirements for modern electronics assembly.
