EP2AGX260EF29I3G Présentation
A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a reprogrammable semiconductor device built from an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), embedded memory, DSP slices, and high-speed transceivers, all interconnected by a programmable routing fabric. FPGAs sit within the broader category of programmable logic devices (PLDs) > digital integrated circuits > semiconductors. The Arria II GX family specifically targets mid-range applications requiring a balance of logic density, transceiver bandwidth, and power efficiency, placing it between Cyclone (low-cost) and Stratix (high-performance) families within Intel's (formerly Altera's) FPGA portfolio.
Key features of the EP2AGX260EF29I3G include 244,188 logic elements, 12 Mbits of embedded memory, integrated transceivers supporting multi-gigabit serial interfaces, on-chip multipliers for DSP operations, and a 0.9 V core supply. The 40 nm process technology provides an optimal balance between static and dynamic power consumption, which is critical for thermally constrained embedded systems.
The architecture combines a lookup-table-based logic fabric with hard DSP blocks, block RAM (M9K/M144K), and high-speed serial transceivers. This heterogeneous structure enables designers to implement complex signal processing pipelines, packet processing engines, and high-speed interface bridging without sacrificing logic utilization.
Typical applications include wireless baseband processing, high-definition video broadcast equipment, military secure communications, industrial machine vision, and high-speed serial protocol bridging (PCI Express, Serial RapidIO, Gigabit Ethernet). The industrial temperature grade (-40C to +100C) makes it appropriate for harsh-environment deployments.
When designing with this device, ensure proper power decoupling and thermal management. The 780-ball FCBGA package requires controlled-impedance PCB stackup and high-quality BGA assembly processes. Designers should reference the manufacturer datasheet for transceiver channel placement, PLL configuration, and I/O standard support.

Notes de conception
Estimated: at full fabric utilization (~80% LE, 70% RAM, 100% transceiver activity) the EP2AGX260EF29I3G can dissipate 8-12 W. The 780-FCBGA package has no exposed top-side heatsink; thermal management must use a heat spreader attached via thermal interface material (TIM) to the package lid, plus a heatsink or forced-air cooling. For sealed enclosures, derate to 6-8 W total or risk thermal runaway of the FPGA core.
The 780-ball FCBGA requires a controlled-impedance PCB stackup (typically 8-12 layers for high-speed transceiver channels). Use a 1.0 mm or 1.27 mm pitch BGA land pattern per JEDEC standards and follow Intel's recommended via-in-pad or microvia escape patterns. Power plane decoupling requires 0402/0201 capacitors within 100 mil of each power ball, plus bulk decoupling on each voltage rail.
Do not confuse speed grade designators: -3 (fastest, lowest temperature delay), -4, -5, -6 (slowest). Higher number = slower device. Also note that 'N' suffix indicates Pb-free/RoHS while absence of 'N' indicates SnPb ball finish. Industrial temperature parts (I) cannot be substituted into commercial-grade thermal environments without re-qualifying timing closure, though fabric and pinout are identical.
Informations de conformité
RoHS, REACH, lead-free, halogen-free, and conflict-minerals status were not returned in the verified distributor data. For EPC2AGX260EF29I3G without N suffix, ball finish may be SnPb; parts with N suffix (e.g. EP2AGX260EF29C6N) are typically Pb-free. Request the latest Intel material declaration certificate before shipping into regulated markets.
