EP1SGX25DF672C7N

The EP1SGX25DF672C7N is a Stratix® GX family field-programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel, optimized for high-performance, programmable logic and high-speed serial I/O. It delivers 25,660 logic elements and approximately 1.94 Mbits of on-chip RAM in a 672-ball BGA package, making it suitable for demanding communications, backplane and protocol-bridging designs.

Designed on the Stratix GX architecture, this device combines a high-density logic array with the family’s transceiver and SERDES capabilities and a 1.5-V logic technology operating from a 1.425 V to 1.575 V supply, enabling integration of complex, timing-critical functions within a single FPGA.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  25,660 logic elements for implementing mid-to-high complexity digital logic and state machines.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.94 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support packet buffering, FIFOs and on-chip data storage.
• High-speed Transceivers (family capability)  Stratix GX family transceivers support 500 Mbps to 3.1875 Gbps full-duplex operation with clock data recovery (CDR) and embedded SERDES for protocol bridging and serial links.
• I/O Density  455 I/O pins to interface with external memory, peripherals, and multi-lane serial PHYs.
• Clocking and DSP Resources (family capability)  Dedicated DSP and PLL resources in the Stratix GX family provide hardware acceleration for multiply-accumulate and high-speed clock management tasks.
• Package and Mounting  672-BBGA package (supplier device package listed as 672-FBGA (27x27)); surface-mount device for compact board-level integration.
• Power and Supply  Core supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match high-performance 1.5-V logic requirements.
• Operating Range and Compliance  Commercial temperature grade (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-speed backplane interfaces  Use the device’s high-density logic and Stratix GX transceiver capabilities (family-level) to implement switched fabric and backplane protocol endpoints.
• Chip-to-chip bridging  Implement protocol translation and SERDES-based links between ASICs, processors and other FPGAs using on-chip logic and embedded memory.
• Communications protocol bridging  Support protocol adaptation and packet processing for interfaces such as Ethernet and Fibre Channel as part of network equipment designs (supported at the family level).
• High-performance data buffering and processing  Leverage approximately 1.94 Mbits of embedded RAM and abundant logic elements for packet buffering, LUT-based preprocessing and custom data paths.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory  25,660 logic elements paired with ~1.94 Mbits of on-chip RAM enable complex control and data-path implementations without immediate reliance on external memory.
• High I/O count  455 I/O pins give flexibility to connect wide parallel buses, multiple interfaces, or numerous serial lanes without extensive board-level multiplexing.
• Family-level serial capability  Stratix GX transceiver technology (500 Mbps–3.1875 Gbps) supports high-speed serial links and protocol-aware features such as 8B/10B encoding and channel bonding.
• Compact, production-ready packaging  672-ball BGA in a surface-mount form factor (supplier: 672-FBGA (27x27)) simplifies PCB routing density for space-constrained systems.
• RoHS compliant  Environmentally compliant material status suitable for standard commercial production flows.
