EP1SGX40DF1020C5

The EP1SGX40DF1020C5 is a Stratix® GX family FPGA supplied in a 1020-BBGA package intended for commercial applications. It combines a high-density logic array with significant on-chip RAM and a large I/O count to address demanding communication and high-performance digital designs.

Built on the Stratix GX architecture, this device targets high-speed interfaces, protocol bridging and complex system logic where large logic capacity, embedded memory and high pin-count packaging are required.

Key Features

• High-density logic — 41,250 logic elements to implement complex custom logic, control and datapath functions.
• Embedded memory — approximately 3.42 Mbits of embedded memory (3,423,744 bits) for buffering, FIFOs and on-chip storage.
• Extensive I/O — 624 I/O pins for broad external interfacing and parallel connectivity.
• High-speed serial capability (family-level) — Stratix GX family transceivers support CDR and SERDES with data rates up to 3.1875 Gbps and common serial-protocol features, enabling high-speed backplane and chip-to-chip links.
• DSP and clocking resources (family-level) — high-speed DSP blocks and multiple PLLs provide hardware support for multiply-accumulate and advanced clocking architectures.
• Package and mounting — 1020-BBGA package (supplier package: 1020-FBGA, 33×33); surface-mount mounting for high-pin-count board designs.
• Power and thermal — specified supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V; commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards and development support (family-level) — family-level support for common interfaces and megafunction IP, including built-in 8B/10B encode/decode, pattern detection, and compatibility with Altera MegaCore and AMPP megafunctions.
• Compliance — RoHS compliant; commercial grade device.

Typical Applications

• High-speed networking and communications — Implement protocol bridging, packet processing and backplane interfaces leveraging the family's high-speed serial features and abundant logic resources.
• Chip-to-chip and board-level interconnects — Use the device's large I/O count and family-level SERDES capabilities to manage wide parallel and serial interfaces between components.
• Protocol conversion and protocol-aware processing — Combine dense logic and on-chip memory to implement data buffering, 8B/10B coding/decoding and alignment for protocol translation.

Unique Advantages

• Large logic capacity: 41,250 logic elements allow integration of complex state machines, datapaths and control logic into a single device, reducing system BOM.
• Substantial on-chip memory: Approximately 3.42 Mbits of embedded RAM supports deep buffering and FIFO requirements without relying on external memory.
• High I/O density: 624 I/O pins provide the connectivity needed for wide buses, multi-lane interfaces and dense board-level integration.
• High-speed serial support (family-level): Stratix GX transceiver technology supports multi-gigabit serial links and common link-layer features beneficial for communications designs.
• Commercial temperature and RoHS compliance: Specified for 0 °C to 85 °C operation and RoHS compliant for standard commercial deployments.
• Flexible package for dense designs: 1020-BBGA / 1020-FBGA (33×33) footprint supports high pin-count applications while maintaining a compact board area.
