EP2AGX45DF25C6G

The EP2AGX45DF25C6G is an Intel Arria II GX field-programmable gate array supplied in a 572-ball FCBGA (25×25) package for surface-mount applications. Built on the Arria II family architecture, this 40‑nm low-power FPGA is aimed at designs requiring a balance of logic capacity, embedded memory, DSP capability and serial interface integration.

This device is suited for commercial-grade applications and system designs that require programmable logic with high-speed transceiver support, moderate on-chip RAM, and a broad set of integration features for networking, storage, and communications subsystems.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 42,959 logic elements and 1,805 LABs provide substantial programmable logic resources for mid-range FPGA designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 3.52 Mbits of on-chip RAM for packet buffering, FIFOs and temporary data storage.
• I/O and Package — 252 user I/Os in a 572-FBGA, FCBGA package (25×25) with surface-mount mounting for compact board integration.
• High‑speed Transceivers (Family Capability) — Arria II family supports up to 24 full-duplex CDR-based transceivers with data rates between 600 Mbps and 6.375 Gbps, enabling a wide range of serial protocols and high-bandwidth links.
• DSP and Arithmetic (Family Capability) — High-performance DSP blocks and configurable multipliers for signal processing tasks (family-level capability described in device handbook).
• Power Supply — Core voltage operating range from 870 mV to 930 mV, allowing precise power budgeting for system design.
• Commercial Temperature Grade — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation for standard commercial applications.
• Environmental Compliance — RoHS compliant to support regulatory requirements for electronics assemblies.

Typical Applications

• Network and Communications Interfaces — Use the device’s serial transceiver family capability and programmable logic to implement interfaces such as Ethernet, PCIe physical-layer implementations, and other high-speed links.
• Data Acquisition and DSP — Leverage embedded memory and DSP resources for intermediate signal processing, buffering, and algorithm acceleration in data acquisition systems.
• Storage and Connectivity — Implement protocol logic and bridging functions for storage interfaces or high-throughput connectivity subsystems.
• Prototyping and Custom Logic — Suitable for prototyping mid-range FPGA designs that require a mix of logic elements, I/O, and on-chip RAM in a compact FCBGA package.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic-to-Memory Ratio: 42,959 logic elements combined with approximately 3.52 Mbits of embedded memory supports mixed compute and buffering requirements without external RAM for many functions.
• Integrated High‑Speed Interface Support: Family-level transceiver capability up to 6.375 Gbps enables designers to integrate common serial protocols into their FPGA-based subsystems.
• Compact, Surface‑Mount Package: The 572-FBGA (25×25) FCBGA package simplifies board routing and reduces PCB footprint for dense system designs.
• Predictable Power Envelope: Defined core voltage range (870 mV–930 mV) assists in power-supply planning and thermal considerations for commercial applications.
• Development Ecosystem (Family Documentation): The Arria II device handbook documents architecture, interfaces and integration guidance to help accelerate design implementation.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliance supports environmental and manufacturing requirements for commercial products.
