EP1AGX50DF1152I6N Übersicht
An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a type of integrated circuit containing an array of programmable logic blocks (LABs/CLBs), programmable interconnect, and configurable I/O cells that engineers can reconfigure after manufacture. Within the broader semiconductor taxonomy, FPGAs belong to programmable logic devices (PLDs), which sit under logic ICs and are used for digital logic prototyping, ASIC replacement, and high-speed signal processing. Arria GX is positioned in Intel's (formerly Altera's) mid-range FPGA portfolio, between the lower-cost Cyclone series and the high-end Stratix series, targeting applications needing integrated transceivers without the power and cost of the top-tier families.
Key features include 2,508 LABs/CLBs, 514 user I/O pins, embedded 18x18 multipliers for DSP, and integrated high-speed transceivers capable of supporting PCI Express Gen1, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial RapidIO, and other serial protocols up to 3.125 Gbps. The device also includes dedicated phase-locked loops (PLLs), configuration logic supporting multiple boot modes (AS, PS, JTAG), and on-chip termination for LVDS signaling.
The architecture is built on a SRAM-based lookup table (LUT) fabric with embedded memory blocks (M4K and M512) and DSP blocks for arithmetic-intensive functions. The hard transceiver Physical Coding Sublayer (PCS) and Physical Medium Attachment (PMA) blocks deliver deterministic serial performance, freeing soft logic for protocol stack and application processing. The 1152-ball BGA package offers a high pin count for the required I/O bandwidth while providing a thermal pad for heat dissipation.
Typical applications include telecom line cards, serial protocol bridges, video broadcast equipment, military/aerospace signal processing, and industrial imaging systems. The integrated transceivers reduce BOM cost for designs that would otherwise require external PHY chips.
When designing with this device, ensure the PCB layout provides adequate power decoupling (multiple low-ESR capacitors near each power pin), a properly designed thermal pad with thermal vias to inner copper planes, and length-matched differential traces for the high-speed serial links. Configuration memory must be loaded at every power-up since SRAM-based FPGAs are volatile.

Wichtigste Unterscheidungsmerkmale
- Mid-range Arria GX with 50K LE and built-in 3.125 Gbps transceivers (vs. EP1SGX40DF1020C6)
- Industrial temperature grade with 1152-ball BGA (vs. EP1AGX50CF484I6N)
- I6 speed grade offers lowest cost among industrial Arria GX 1152-BGA options (vs. EP1AGX50DF1152I5N)
Designhinweise
Estimated: The 1152-FineLine BGA package dissipates up to ~8W typical for a 50K-LE Arria GX at full utilization. Provide a thermal pad land pattern with at least 9 thermal vias (0.3 mm drill, 1.0 mm pitch) connecting to a continuous copper inner plane. Without thermal vias, junction temperature may exceed 100C ambient ratings. Use the Altera PowerPlay early power estimator in Quartus II before final layout to size the heatsink or forced-air cooling.
Route all high-speed transceiver differential pairs with 100 ohm differential impedance, length matching within 150 mils, and continuous reference plane on layer 2. Use 8 mil trace width with 6 mil spacing on a 4-layer 1 oz board to hit 100 ohm differential. Minimize the number of vias on each RX/TX pair - no more than 2 vias total. Place AC coupling capacitors (0.1 uF) close to the transmitter output pins.
Estimated: EP1AGX50DF1152I6N requires VCCINT (1.2V core for Arria GX 90 nm), VCCPD (3.3V pre-driver), VCCIO (1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V per bank), and VCCA_PLL (1.2V analog). Place at least 4 decoupling capacitors per supply pin (0.1 uF + 0.01 uF + 10 uF bulk + 220 uF bulk). Use a Ferrite bead on the PLL analog supply to isolate from digital switching noise. Power sequencing requires VCCINT before VCCIO with monotonic rise.
The EP1AGX50DF1152I6N is SRAM-based and volatile - it must reload configuration at every power-up. Use a serial EPCS16 or EPCS64 configuration flash with AS (active serial) mode for low-pin-count boot. For fastest boot use parallel x16 flash with PS (passive serial) or FPP (fast passive parallel). The CONF_DONE pin must be pulled high via 10K resistor to VCCPD, and nSTATUS pulled to 1K pull-up. JTAG header (10-pin or 20-pin Altera format) required for in-system programming.
Obsolescence risk: this part is obsolete as of 2026-09-06 with no authorized franchised stock. Before committing a new design, verify last-time-buy availability from independent distributors and authenticate each shipment (X-ray decapsulation, lot-trace, country-of-origin review). For new designs, evaluate migration paths to Arria 10 (10AX115N3F40I2SG) or Cyclone 10 GX, which require a complete PCB redesign and firmware port to Quartus Prime Pro.
Compliance-Informationen
RoHS and lead-free status not explicitly confirmed in verified distributor data as of 2026-09-06. Request compliance documentation from distributor before volume orders. AEC-Q100 not applicable - this is an industrial FPGA, not an automotive-qualified part.
