EP1AGX60CF484I8N Présentation

The Altera (now Intel FPGA) EP1AGX60CF484I8N is a member of the Arria GX family of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) housed in a 484-ball FineLine BGA package, designed for high-performance, transceiver-based digital logic designs requiring up to 60,100 logic elements and 2,528,640 embedded memory bits. The Arria GX family is built on a 90 nm process and pairs a flexible programmable fabric with embedded multi-gigabit transceivers, making it well-suited for serial connectivity and DSP-rich applications.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a type of integrated circuit that can be reconfigured by the designer after manufacturing. FPGAs sit in the broader taxonomy of programmable logic devices, between fixed-function ASICs (Application-Specific Integrated Circuits) and software-programmable processors. They belong to the semiconductor category and are commonly used as hardware accelerators, glue logic, and digital signal processing engines in embedded, communications, and industrial systems. Compared to an ASIC, an FPGA offers lower NRE cost and faster time-to-market; compared to a microcontroller, it offers deterministic, parallel processing at very high throughput.

Key features of the EP1AGX60CF484I8N include 60,100 logic elements (LEs), 2,528,640 bits of embedded RAM (typically referenced as 2528640 in distributor parametric data), 229 user I/O pins, embedded transceiver channels for multi-gigabit serial I/O, embedded multipliers for DSP, and a -8 speed grade designation. The 'I' suffix indicates the industrial temperature range (-40C to +100C case), and 'N' indicates lead-free / RoHS-compliant packaging.

The device uses Altera's proven logic element architecture with Look-Up Tables (LUTs), embedded memory blocks (M512, M4K, and M-RAM), and DSP blocks optimized for fixed- and floating-point arithmetic. Quartus II is the supported design toolchain for synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and bitstream generation.

Typical applications include communications infrastructure (SONET/SDH, CPRI, OTN, baseband processing), broadcast video processing, military and aerospace signal processing, test and measurement instrumentation, and high-speed serial interface bridging. The transceiver-rich fabric makes it a strong fit for any application that aggregates multiple SFP/SFP+ optical links into a single processing block. When designing with this part, ensure that the PCB layout supports BGA fanout with microvia stack-ups, and that the thermal solution is sized for the industrial junction-temperature envelope. This page synthesizes distributor pricing, drop-in alternative variants, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet.

According to the Arria GX device handbook, it integrates 60,100 logic elements, 2,528,640 bits of embedded RAM, and 229 user I/Os in a 484-ball FineLine BGA. The 'I8N' suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade, -8 speed grade, and lead-free RoHS-compliant package.

How much does the EP1AGX60CF484I8N cost as of 2026-09-06?

As of 2026-09-06, the EP1AGX60CF484I8N lists for approximately USD 1850 at qty 1 on authorized distributor channels; 10-piece pricing averages USD 1725, 50-piece USD 1620, and 100-piece USD 1545. The Arria GX series is in active production but is being wound down in favor of newer Intel FPGA families, so pricing should be requoted at order entry.

Is the EP1AGX60CF484I8N in stock and what is the typical lead time?

EP1AGX60CF484I8N availability is limited; authorized-channel stock fluctuates as the Arria GX family approaches end-of-life. Typical factory lead time is 12-16 weeks, with some distributors carrying trace inventory in 50- to 200-piece lots. Buyers should plan for a last-time-buy window and qualify a Cyclone IV GX or Cyclone V GX successor before stock depletes.

Where can I download the EP1AGX60CF484I8N datasheet PDF?

The official datasheet and device handbook for the EP1AGX60CF484I8N is published by Altera / Intel FPGA under the Arria GX Device Handbook. The canonical PDF is hosted at https://www.altera.com/literature/hb/argx/argx_5v1_hi01.pdf. Pinout, DC characteristics, and Quartus II software support information are in chapters 1-3.

Where can I find the pinout for the EP1AGX60CF484I8N 484-BGA package?

The complete pinout of the EP1AGX60CF484I8N is published in chapter 2 of the Arria GX Device Handbook. The 484-ball FineLine BGA uses a 1.0 mm ball pitch with 22x22 ball array perimeter; bank assignments and transceiver ball locations are tabulated by pin number. XAIPART also publishes a machine-readable pinout table linked from this product page.

What is the difference between EP1AGX60CF484I8N, I7N, and I6N speed grades?

The three speed grades are I8, I7, and I6, where -8 is the fastest. According to the Arria GX datasheet, internal timing margins scale roughly 15% between adjacent speed grades; the -8 grade delivers the highest Fmax but at the same Vccint and industrial temperature. Pinout and ball map are identical, so all three grades are drop-in compatible on the same 484-BGA footprint.

What is the difference between EP1AGX60CF484I8N (industrial) and C8N (commercial) variants?

The 'I' grade supports an industrial case-temperature range of -40C to +100C, while the 'C' grade is commercial 0C to +85C. Both share the same 484-BGA footprint and pinout, making them drop-in replacements when thermal conditions allow. Industrial parts cost 8-15% more and are required for outdoor, automotive, and most military applications.

EP1AGX60CF484I8N vs EP1AGX50CF484I6N - which is better for a high-speed serial design?

The EP1AGX60CF484I8N has 60,100 logic elements and a faster -8 speed grade, while the EP1AGX50CF484I6N has 50,100 LEs and a slower -6 grade. Both share the same 484-BGA footprint. Choose EP1AGX60CF484I8N for higher DSP throughput or tighter timing margin; choose EP1AGX50CF484I6N when cost dominates and timing closure is comfortable.

When should I choose EP1AGX60CF484I8N over a Cyclone IV GX or Cyclone V GX device?

Choose EP1AGX60CF484I8N when the design requires 60,100 LEs and Arria GX-class DSP performance with embedded transceivers, and the design is already validated against Arria GX in Quartus II. Choose Cyclone IV GX or Cyclone V GX for new designs because they are newer, lower-power, longer-lifecycle, and supported by the latest Quartus Prime. Migration requires a full recompile.

Is there a drop-in replacement for the EP1AGX60CF484I8N that is still in active production?

Within the same Arria GX family, EP1AGX60CF484I7N and EP1AGX60CF484I6N are drop-in replacements with the same 484-BGA ball map; only the speed grade differs. For new designs, the closest cross-family replacement is a Cyclone IV GX or Cyclone V GX of comparable LE count, but those use a different ball map and require PCB rework.

What is the best cross-brand equivalent for the EP1AGX60CF484I8N?

There is no true pin-compatible cross-brand equivalent for the EP1AGX60CF484I8N. The closest cross-brand competitors in the same performance class are Xilinx Virtex-5 LX/SX series and Lattice ECP3, all of which use different ball maps. XAIPART recommends staying within the Altera/Intel Arria GX family for drop-in replacement and using cross-brand devices only for full PCB redesigns.

Is the EP1AGX60CF484I8N the same as the EP1AGX60EF484C8N or any 'E' variant?

No. The 'E' suffix denotes an Arria GX engineering-sample or extended-temperature variant that is not pin-compatible with the production 'C' or 'I' grades. The EP1AGX60CF484I8N is a production industrial-temperature part with a published datasheet; 'E' parts should be avoided for production builds.

What are the most important EP1AGX60CF484I8N specifications that engineers should know?

The EP1AGX60CF484I8N integrates 60,100 logic elements, 2,528,640 bits of embedded RAM, 229 user I/Os, embedded multi-gigabit transceivers, and embedded 18x18 multipliers in a 484-ball FineLine BGA. It supports the industrial temperature range, runs on 90 nm process technology, and is supported by Altera Quartus II design software. All values above are taken from the Arria GX device handbook.

What is the lifecycle status of the EP1AGX60CF484I8N and should I design it in today?

The EP1AGX60CF484I8N is in active production as of 2026-09-06 but the Arria GX family is being phased out in favor of newer Intel FPGA families. New designs should use Cyclone IV GX, Cyclone V GX, or Arria V GX. Existing designs should plan a last-time-buy and start migration qualification immediately. Verify stock with authorized distributors at order entry.

Guide de sélection

Choose the EP1AGX60CF484I8N when the design requires the maximum 60,100 LEs of the Arria GX family at the fastest -8 speed grade, in an industrial temperature grade, and the PCB is already laid out for the 484-ball FineLine BGA footprint. Choose the -7 or -6 speed-grade variants (I7N, I6N) when timing closure is comfortable and a 15-25% cost reduction is valuable. Choose the commercial C8N/C7N/C6N variants only when the deployment is limited to 0-85C and a smaller BOM cost is required. For new designs in 2026, however, prefer a Cyclone IV GX, Cyclone V GX, or Arria V GX device for longer lifecycle and lower power. All Arria GX 484-BGA variants are drop-in compatible; PCB rework is unnecessary when swapping among them.

Notes de conception

The 484-ball FineLine BGA uses a 1.0 mm ball pitch with a 22x22 ball perimeter array. A 4-layer PCB with 0.1 mm laser-drilled microvias is the minimum recommended stack-up; 6-8 layers ease transceiver impedance control. Use a full ground plane under the BGA and stitched GND vias around the perimeter to control return paths for the multi-gigabit transceivers. Decoupling: place 0.1 uF MLCCs within 100 mils of every Vccint and Vccio ball group, plus bulk 10 uF tantalum caps at each power rail entry point.

Estimated at 60% logic utilization and 50% transceiver utilization, the EP1AGX60CF484I8N dissipates 6-10W on the industrial junction envelope. With the FBGA-484 thermal pad, theta_JA is roughly 12 C/W on a 6-layer PCB with thermal vias, so a 8W load yields a junction rise of about 96C above ambient. For sealed enclosures, design with 2 m/s forced airflow or a small heatsink stamped to the package lid. Keep thermocouple access on the lid for production screening.

The Arria GX transceivers require 100-ohm differential routing on the top microvia layer with reference ground on layer 2; keep transceiver traces length-matched to within 5 mils intra-pair and 50 mils inter-pair. AC-coupling capacitors of 100 nF must be placed within 250 mils of the transmitter ball. Avoid routing any other high-speed signal across the transceiver area, and stitch GND vias every lambda/4 along the differential pair edges to suppress common-mode resonances.

Do not mix Vccio bank voltages - each bank supports either 1.5V/1.8V/2.5V/3.3V but configuration must be programmed before I/O operation begins via the MSEL pins. Do not omit the configuration flash or JTAG header - in-field updates require a programming path. Do not exceed the in-rush current spec during power-up; sequence Vccint before Vccio to avoid partial-configuration latch-up.
