EP1AGX60EF1152C6N

The EP1AGX60EF1152C6N is an Arria GX field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 1152-ball BGA package, designed for commercial-grade embedded systems and communications hardware. As part of the Arria GX family, this device is based on a 1.2-V logic array and is positioned for applications that require high I/O density, substantial on-chip memory, and integrated high-speed serial transceiver support.

Typical use cases include network and communications equipment, high-speed I/O bridging, and data-processing subsystems where a combination of logic capacity, embedded RAM, and SERDES-based connectivity deliver integration and design flexibility.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 60,100 logic elements to implement complex custom logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 2.53 Mbits of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, buffers, and data storage.
• High I/O Count — 514 user I/O pins to support wide parallel interfaces and numerous peripherals.
• Package and Mounting — 1152-BBGA (supplier package: 1152-FBGA, 35 × 35 mm) with surface-mount mounting suitable for compact board designs.
• Power and Temperature — Core voltage supply range 1.15 V to 1.25 V; commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C.
• RoHS Compliant — Meets RoHS environmental requirements for lead-free assembly.
• Arria GX Family Transceivers — Family-level transceiver architecture supports multi-gigabit serial links (up to 3.125 Gbps as described in the device family handbook), enabling protocol implementations such as PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet, SDI, XAUI, and Serial RapidIO.
• Architecture Features (Family) — TriMatrix memory structure, dedicated DSP blocks, up to 16 global clock networks, and up to four enhanced PLLs for flexible clocking and signal processing (family-level characteristics described in the device handbook).

Typical Applications

• Network Infrastructure — Implement packet processing, protocol bridging, and multi-gigabit link interfacing using the device’s high I/O count and Arria GX transceiver capabilities.
• Serial Protocol Gateways — Deploy as a protocol bridge or serializer/deserializer controller for PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet, XAUI, and SDI-style links referenced in the Arria GX family documentation.
• High-Speed Data Acquisition — Use abundant logic and embedded RAM for real-time buffering, DSP preprocessing, and interface control to external memory or ADC/DAC subsystems.
• Custom Hardware Acceleration — Leverage DSP blocks and large logic fabric to implement hardware-accelerated functions such as filtering, encoding/decoding, and finite impulse response (FIR) processing (family-level features).

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: Approximately 60,100 logic elements enable substantial custom logic integration, reducing the need for external glue logic.
• Significant Embedded Memory: About 2.53 Mbits of on-chip RAM provide local buffering and FIFO capability for high-throughput data paths.
• Large I/O Footprint: 514 I/O pins support complex, high-pin-count board designs and multiple peripheral interfaces.
• Multi-Gigabit Transceiver Support (Family): Arria GX family transceiver architecture supports common serial protocols up to 3.125 Gbps, simplifying high-speed link implementation.
• Flexible Clocking and DSP Resources (Family): Dedicated PLLs and DSP blocks enable advanced timing management and signal-processing tasks without extensive external components.
• Commercial Grade and RoHS Compliant: Designed for commercial-temperature applications and compliant with RoHS for lead-free manufacturing requirements.
