EP2SGX60EF1152C5

The EP2SGX60EF1152C5 is a Stratix® II GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Intel, designed for applications that require a high-capacity logic array combined with the Stratix II GX family’s high-speed transceiver and signal-processing capabilities. This device delivers 60,440 logic elements, approximately 2.54 Mbits of on-chip RAM, and 534 user I/O pins in a 1152-BBGA package, targeting high-performance communications, protocol bridging, and memory-interface designs.

Built on the Stratix II GX architecture, the device benefits from family-level features such as high-speed serial transceivers, TriMatrix memory architecture, DSP blocks, and advanced clocking and configuration options—making it suitable for designers who need integration, flexibility, and verified megafunction support.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  60,440 logic elements suitable for complex FPGA designs requiring substantial combinational and sequential resources.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 2.54 Mbits of on-chip RAM (2,544,192 total RAM bits) for FIFOs, buffering, and on-chip data storage.
• I/O Density  534 user I/O pins providing extensive external connectivity for parallel interfaces, bus architectures, and mixed I/O standards.
• Stratix II GX Family Transceiver Technology  Family-level support for high-speed serial transceivers with data rates up to 6.375 Gbps per channel and features such as clock-and-data recovery, dynamic reconfiguration, and adaptive equalization.
• Signal Processing Blocks  Family features include dedicated DSP/multiplier resources for high-performance multiply-accumulate and FIR filtering implementations (series-level specification).
• Clocking and PLLs  Stratix II GX family supports multiple enhanced PLLs with features such as spread-spectrum, programmable bandwidth, and dynamic reconfiguration (series-level capability).
• Package & Mounting  1152-BBGA package (supplier package: 1152-FBGA, 35×35 mm) with surface-mount mounting for dense board-level integration.
• Power and Temperature  Supported core voltage range 1.15 V to 1.25 V and commercial operating temperature 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Standards & Support  Supports Altera MegaCore® functions and AMPP megafunction partners, device-level features for configuration security (bitstream encryption) and remote configuration updates (series-level features).
• Environmental  RoHS compliant for lead-free assembly compatibility.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Backplane & Networking  Use the high logic density, large I/O count, and Stratix II GX transceiver features for backplane switching, line cards, and network aggregation modules.
• Protocol Bridging & Chip-to-Chip Interfaces  Implement protocol translation and bridging between serial and parallel domains using the device’s I/O density and family transceiver capabilities.
• High-Bandwidth Memory Interfaces  Leverage the substantial embedded RAM and abundant I/O to interface with high-speed external memories and implement buffering or QDR/DDR controller logic (series-level memory support referenced).
• Signal Processing & DSP  Deploy DSP-intensive functions such as filters and accumulators using family-provided high-speed DSP blocks and dedicated multipliers.

Unique Advantages

• High logic and memory integration: Combines 60,440 logic elements with ~2.54 Mbits of embedded RAM to consolidate logic and buffering on a single device, reducing external component needs.
• Extensive I/O capacity: 534 user I/O pins enable flexible interfacing to wide parallel buses, multiple memory channels, and extensive peripheral connectivity.
• High-speed serial capability (Series-level): Stratix II GX family transceiver features (up to 6.375 Gbps per channel) provide a foundation for high-bandwidth serial links and protocol support without adding external SERDES devices.
• Advanced clocking and reconfiguration: Family features include enhanced PLLs and dynamic reconfiguration options for flexible clock management and protocol switching.
• Commercial-grade operating range: Designed for 0 °C to 85 °C operation with a defined core supply window (1.15 V–1.25 V) to match common commercial system requirements.
• RoHS compliance: Facilitates lead-free manufacturing and environmental regulatory alignment.
