EP1AGX35CF484C6

The EP1AGX35CF484C6 is a commercial-grade Arria GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel, delivered in a 484-BBGA surface-mount package. It provides a mid-range logic capacity and on-chip memory targeted at high-performance embedded logic, I/O-dense systems, and designs that leverage high-speed serial interfaces.

Built on the Arria GX family architecture, the device combines a 1.2-V-class logic array (supported operation 1.15 V to 1.25 V) with abundant I/O and embedded memory, making it suitable for applications that need flexible logic integration, multi-protocol serial links, and system-level interfacing in commercial-temperature environments.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 33,520 logic elements for implementing medium-complexity FPGA functions and custom logic pipelines.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 1.35 Mbits of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, buffers, and local data storage.
• I/O Density — 230 I/O pins to support broad peripheral connectivity and multi-channel interfaces.
• Serial Transceiver Family Features — As part of the Arria GX family, supports high-speed serial transceiver capabilities described in the device handbook, including CDR-enabled channels up to 3.125 Gbps and protocol support for PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet, SDI, SerialLite II, XAUI, and Serial RapidIO.
• Clocking and DSP Resources — Arria GX architecture includes multiple global and regional clock networks, enhanced PLLs, and high-speed DSP blocks for multiplier and FIR implementations (as documented in the Arria GX device handbook).
• Package and Mounting — 484-BBGA (supplier package 484-FBGA 23×23) in a surface-mount format for compact board integration.
• Power and Temperature — Operates from 1.15 V to 1.25 V and rated for commercial operating temperatures from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed networking — Implement protocol bridging, packet processing, and PHY interfaces that leverage Arria GX family serial transceiver support for Gigabit Ethernet and PCI Express.
• Video and broadcast — Support SDI and other streaming interfaces where on-chip memory and high-speed SERDES-based links are used for buffering and alignment.
• Communications equipment — Use the device for link aggregation, protocol conversion, and custom serial IP in commercial telecom and data-center equipment.
• Test & measurement — Deploy logic, DSP blocks, and high-density I/O for real-time signal processing, data capture, and instrument control.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced mid-range logic and memory: 33,520 logic elements and approximately 1.35 Mbits of embedded RAM deliver a strong balance for moderate-complexity designs without unnecessary overhead.
• High I/O count: 230 I/Os enable complex front-end interfacing and multi-channel connectivity on a single device, reducing component count.
• Arria GX serial capabilities: Family-level transceiver features (CDR up to 3.125 Gbps and protocol support) let you target a wide range of serial protocols while leveraging documented design guidance in the Arria GX handbook.
• Low-voltage operation: 1.15 V–1.25 V supply range aligns with modern low-voltage system domains for power-optimized designs.
• Commercial temperature rating: Specified 0 °C to 85 °C operation for standard commercial deployments.
• RoHS compliance: Environmental compliance simplifies integration into RoHS-directed product lines.
