EP1SGX40GF1020I6N

The EP1SGX40GF1020I6N is an industrial-grade Stratix® GX field programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 1020-BBGA (1020-FBGA, 33×33) package. It combines a high-performance logic array with the Stratix GX family’s high-speed serial transceiver architecture to address demanding communications, backplane, and protocol-bridging applications.

With 41,250 logic elements, approximately 3.42 Mbits of embedded memory, and broad I/O and transceiver capabilities described for the Stratix GX family, this device is targeted at designs that require scalable logic capacity, high-bandwidth serial links, and industrial temperature operation.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 41,250 logic elements provide a large, scalable fabric for complex digital designs and subsystem integration.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 3.42 Mbits of on-chip RAM to implement FIFOs, buffers, and memory-intensive logic without external memory for many functions.
• High-Speed Transceiver Family Features — Stratix GX transceivers support serial data rates from 500 Mbps to 3.1875 Gbps and family-level options for 4, 8, 16, or 20 channels; includes CDR, SERDES, programmable VOD, pre-emphasis, equalization, and channel power-down capability.
• I/O Density — Up to 624 I/O pins to support broad interfacing options and dense board-level connectivity.
• DSP & Clocking Resources — High-speed DSP blocks for multiplier and multiply-accumulate implementations, and up to eight general-purpose PLLs for flexible clocking (family feature).
• Packaging & Mounting — Surface-mount 1020-BBGA package (supplier device package: 1020-FBGA, 33×33) for compact board integration.
• Power & Supply — Core voltage supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match required system power rails.
• Industrial Temperature Grade — Rated for operation from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployed industrial environments.
• Standards & Protocol Support (Family) — Family-level support for protocols and interfaces such as XAUI, Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH, PCI Express, Fibre Channel, and Serial RapidIO (as implemented via the Stratix GX transceivers).
• Compliance — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Backplanes — Implements multi-gigabit serial links and dense I/O to enable backplane switching, aggregation, and protocol bridging.
• Chip-to-Chip Interfaces — Provides SERDES-based connectivity and programmable interface widths for high-throughput chip-to-chip data paths.
• Communications Protocol Bridging — Supports transceiver-based protocols (XAUI, GigE, SONET/SDH) for media conversion, protocol adaptation, and line-card logic.
• High-Performance DSP Tasks — Uses on-chip DSP blocks and abundant logic elements for signal processing, filtering, and multiply-accumulate functions.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 41,250 logic elements enable integration of large custom logic functions and multiple subsystems on a single device, reducing board-level complexity.
• Integrated High-Speed Serial Capability: Stratix GX family transceivers with programmable equalization and pre-emphasis simplify implementation of robust multi-gigabit links.
• Substantial On-Chip Memory: Approximately 3.42 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce dependency on external memory for buffering and packet processing.
• Industrial Reliability: Rated for −40 °C to 100 °C operation and RoHS compliance, supporting deployments in industrial environments.
• Flexible I/O and Packaging: 624 I/Os in a 1020-BBGA package provide high-density interfacing while maintaining a compact board footprint.
• Configurable Clocking and DSP Resources: Built-in PLLs and DSP blocks support demanding timing and signal-processing requirements without external components.
