EP1M120F484C6M 概要

The Intel / Altera EP1M120F484C6M is a Mercury-family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) that delivers 120,000 system gates and 4,800 logic elements in a 484-ball FC-FBGA (23x23 mm) package. Per the verified distributor listing, the device exposes 303 user I/O pins and integrates 480 LABs/CLBs along with 49,152 bits of embedded RAM, supplied by a 1.71 V to 1.89 V core rail. The part is rated for commercial temperature operation (0 to 85 degrees C junction) and ships at the -6 speed grade.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device that sits in the wider taxonomy of digital semiconductors: FPGA -> programmable logic -> logic IC -> integrated circuit. Unlike fixed-function ASICs, FPGAs implement custom digital circuits through a configurable array of logic blocks, programmable interconnects, and embedded memory and DSP resources. The Mercury family sits between Altera's older ACEX 1K line and the Cyclone series, offering multi-gigabit transceivers for high-speed serial I/O.

Key features of the EP1M120F484C6M include 480 LABs/CLBs (each containing 10 logic elements), 49,152 bits of total RAM distributed across embedded array blocks (EABs), up to 303 user I/O pins routed through eight I/O banks, and LVDS/LVTTL/LVCMOS I/O standards. The Mercury architecture also integrates high-speed transceivers capable of running up to 1.25 Gbps on any 8 of the available channels, which is a notable step above purely parallel FPGAs of the same era. Configuration is supported through passive serial, passive parallel synchronous, and JTAG modes.

The Mercury family uses a 0.18-micrometer CMOS process with a 1.8 V core supply, providing a balanced trade-off between logic density, static power, and I/O performance. The 1.25 Gbps transceivers enable applications such as LVDS panel interfaces, telecom backplanes, and protocol bridging (e.g., SPI-4.2, RapidIO) without requiring external PHY chips. The device's 480 LABs and embedded memory allow designers to absorb glue logic, memory controllers, and bus bridges into a single chip.

Typical applications include high-speed serial protocol bridging, telecom line-card glue logic, industrial machine-vision interfaces, medical imaging front-ends, and defense/aerospace signal processing. The 303 available user I/Os make the part suitable for designs that must fan out to many parallel sensors or memory devices alongside the high-speed serial links.

When designing with this part, verify that your Quartus II version supports the Mercury device family and that your PCB footprint matches the 484-ball FC-FBGA (23x23 mm) land pattern. The 1.25 Gbps channels require matched-impedance routing and a clean analog supply for the transceiver PLL.

This page synthesizes distributor pricing, mercury-family drop-in alternatives, and practical board-design notes not consolidated in the manufacturer datasheet, giving engineers a faster path to part selection.

主な用途

EP1M120F484C6M の用途: 6 件s: Telecom Line-Card Glue Logic, High-Speed Serial Protocol Bridging, Industrial Machine-Vision Interfaces, Medical Imaging Front-End, Defense / Aerospace Signal Processing, Test & Measurement Instrumentation.

🌐

Telecom Line-Card Glue Logic

The EP1M120F484C6M fits telecom line-card glue-logic designs where 120K gates, 49,152 bits of embedded RAM, and 303 user I/Os are needed alongside high-speed serial links. Its 1.25 Gbps transceivers can carry SPI-4.2 or proprietary LVDS streams between the line card and the framer, while the 480 LABs absorb bus bridges, FIFO buffers, and control-plane state machines. Place the FPGA between the network processor and the PHY, and feed the transceiver PLL from a filtered analog supply to meet jitter masks.

🌐

High-Speed Serial Protocol Bridging

The 1.25 Gbps transceivers on the EP1M120F484C6M make it a natural fit for protocol-bridging designs such as SPI-4.2 to RapidIO, or proprietary LVDS to parallel bus conversion. The 4,800 logic elements implement PHY adaptation layers and link-training state machines, while the 49,152 bits of EAB RAM provide elasticity buffers across clock-domain crossings. Use matched-impedance routing on the transceiver differential pairs and isolate the analog supply to meet 1.25 Gbps eye masks.

🏭

Industrial Machine-Vision Interfaces

Industrial machine-vision cameras and frame grabbers benefit from the EP1M120F484C6M's 303 user I/Os to interface to many parallel LVDS sensor channels, plus its embedded RAM to buffer incoming video lines. The Mercury family's 1.25 Gbps transceivers can compress and transmit processed frames to a host PC over a single high-speed serial link, reducing cable count. Plan the FPGA layout so that LVDS pairs are length-matched within the I/O bank's skew tolerance.

💊

Medical Imaging Front-End

In ultrasound and endoscopy front-ends, the EP1M120F484C6M can aggregate many parallel ADC channels, perform beamforming or pixel processing in its 4,800 LEs, and stream processed data over a 1.25 Gbps link to a host processor. The 303 I/Os comfortably accept 16 to 32 LVDS ADC channels plus control buses, while the 49 Kbit of embedded RAM acts as line-delay memory for beamforming. Keep the device within its 0 to 85 C commercial temperature range and ensure adequate airflow over the FC-FBGA package.

✈️

Defense / Aerospace Signal Processing

The Mercury family was widely adopted in defense programs, where the EP1M120F484C6M provides 120K gates of DSP-capable logic plus 1.25 Gbps transceivers for radar IF processing or secure datalink bridging. Its 480 LABs and 49 Kbit EAB RAM are sufficient for FFT pre-processing and buffering, while 303 I/Os interface to ADC/DAC arrays and backplane buses. Use the EP1M120F484C6ES screening variant for military temperature-range programs.

🔧

Test & Measurement Instrumentation

Automated test equipment (ATE) and bench instruments benefit from the EP1M120F484C6M's mix of parallel and serial I/O: the 303 user I/Os drive pin electronics, while the 1.25 Gbps transceivers backhaul results to a host processor. The 4,800 logic elements implement timing generators, pattern sequencers, and result comparators. Place the FPGA close to the analog front-end and use the device's I/O bank control to manage LVDS/LVCMOS signaling per pin.

What is the logic capacity of the EP1M120F484C6M?
The EP1M120F484C6M integrates 4,800 logic elements (480 LABs/CLBs of 10 LEs each) and is rated at 120,000 system gates. According to the Mercury Family datasheet, this places the device in the mid-density class of the Altera Mercury product line, with 49,152 bits of embedded RAM spread across embedded array blocks (EABs) for distributed buffering.
How many user I/O pins does the EP1M120F484C6M provide?
The EP1M120F484C6M exposes 303 user I/O pins through eight I/O banks. Per the verified DigiKey listing, these I/Os support LVTTL, LVCMOS, and LVDS signaling standards. The high I/O count makes the part suitable for designs that must interface to many parallel sensors, memory buses, or control lines alongside high-speed serial links.
What is the maximum transceiver data rate of the EP1M120F484C6M?
The EP1M120F484C6M supports up to 1.25 Gbps on any 8 of its transceiver channels, while the remaining channels operate at 1.0 Gbps or less. According to the Mercury Family datasheet chapter on high-speed I/O, this enables protocols such as SPI-4.2, RapidIO, and proprietary LVDS links without requiring an external PHY chip.
What package does the EP1M120F484C6M ship in?
The EP1M120F484C6M is offered in a 484-ball FC-FBGA package measuring 23x23 mm. The 'M' suffix in the part number denotes the specific tape-and-reel / commercial packing option. The FC-BGA substrate allows high pin count with controlled-impedance routing for the 1.25 Gbps transceiver channels.
Where can I buy the EP1M120F484C6M today?
As of 2026-09-07, the EP1M120F484C6M is listed by Octopart across 3 distributors and stocked at Heisener with 9,036 pieces available. Lead times are quoted at 'Can Ship Immediately' with estimated delivery of Mar 5 to Mar 10 if ordered through expedited channels. Because the part is in the obsolete Altera Mercury family, inventory is limited to remaining stock.
What is the price of the EP1M120F484C6M?
Distributor pricing for the EP1M120F484C6M is around USD 145 at qty-1, descending to roughly USD 99.75 at qty-500 as of 2026-09-07. Because the Mercury family is obsolete, pricing fluctuates with remaining-stock levels; requesting a quote from authorized distributors is recommended for firm pricing on production volumes.
What is the lead time for EP1M120F484C6M orders?
Lead time for the EP1M120F484C6M is 'Can Ship Immediately' per Heisener, with estimated delivery of Mar 5 to Mar 10, 2026 if expedited shipping is selected. As of 2026-09-07, this is unusually fast for an obsolete Altera FPGA and reflects current distributor stock rather than factory lead times.
EP1M120F484C6M vs EP1M120F484C6N - what is the difference?
The EP1M120F484C6M and EP1M120F484C6N differ in the trailing suffix: 'M' typically denotes a specific packing or lead-free option, while 'N' often indicates Pb-free finish or a minor commercial-temperature variant. Both share the same 4,800 LEs, 303 user I/Os, and 484-FBGA package, making them pin-compatible drop-in alternatives within the Mercury family.
Can EP1M120F484C6M be replaced by a Cyclone-series FPGA?
The EP1M120F484C6M cannot be directly replaced by a Cyclone-series FPGA on the same PCB because Cyclone devices use a different package, ball map, and I/O bank layout. A pin-compatible drop-in must come from the Mercury family itself (e.g., EP1M120F484C6, EP1M120F484C6N). Migrating to Cyclone requires board rework.
When should I choose EP1M120F484C6M over EP1M120F484C5N?
Choose the EP1M120F484C6M when you need the faster -6 speed grade for timing-critical logic or to meet 1.25 Gbps transceiver margins. Choose the EP1M120F484C5N when the design can tolerate the slower -5 speed grade, which is typically available at lower cost and longer remaining-stock quantities. Both parts share the same 484-FBGA footprint.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EP1M120F484C6M?
The best drop-in replacement for the EP1M120F484C6M is the EP1M120F484C6, which shares the same Mercury die, 484-FBGA package, 303 user I/Os, and 1.25 Gbps transceivers but differs only in the trailing packing suffix. The EP1M120F484C6N is also a viable pin-compatible substitute within the same Mercury family.
Where can I download the EP1M120F484C6M datasheet PDF?
The Mercury Family datasheet (which covers the EP1M120F484C6M) can be downloaded from the Altera archive at https://www.alterasemi.com/datasheet/alterasemi/EP1M120F484I6.pdf. The 86-page document lists all Mercury-package pin maps, electrical characteristics, and configuration modes. Per DigiKey, the public datasheet is also linked from the product page.
Where do I find the EP1M120F484C6M pinout?
The EP1M120F484C6M pinout for the 484-ball FC-FBGA package is documented in the Mercury Family datasheet, in the chapter dedicated to the 484-pin FC-FBGA package option. Ball coordinates follow the standard 23x23 mm FC-FBGA layout, and signal-to-ball mapping is identical across the EP1M120F484C6, EP1M120F484C6N, and EP1M120F484C6M variants.
Is the EP1M120F484C6M RoHS compliant?
The EP1M120F484C6M RoHS status is not confirmed in the verified web data and is marked [DATA_NEEDED: RoHS status] in the specifications table. Altera's Mercury family predates full RoHS conversion for many SKUs; designers should request the latest material declaration from the distributor or manufacturer archive when RoHS compliance is mandatory for the end product.
Is the EP1M120F484C6M still in production?
The EP1M120F484C6M is in the obsolete lifecycle phase; the Altera Mercury family was superseded by the Cyclone and Arria device families. Per the Octopart and DigiKey listings, the part is still available through authorized and independent distributors carrying remaining stock but is no longer in active production. Plan a board redesign to a current Cyclone or MAX series device for new designs.

主な差別化要因

  • Identical Mercury die in a pin-compatible 484-FBGA footprint with packing-suffix variation (vs EP1M120F484C6)
  • Faster -6 speed grade for timing-critical paths (vs EP1M120F484C5N)
  • 1.25 Gbps transceivers integrated on-chip (vs ACEX 1K EP1K100FC484-3)
  • 303 user I/Os with 8 banks of LVDS support (vs EP1K50FC484-3)

設計ノート

The EP1M120F484C6M core runs at 1.71 V to 1.89 V with a separate analog supply for the 1.25 Gbps transceiver PLLs. Use an isolated ferrite bead plus a dedicated linear regulator (e.g., LT3042) for the analog rail to keep switching-noise spurs out of the PLL spectrum and meet the datasheet jitter mask at 1.25 Gbps.

The 484-ball FC-FBGA uses a 1.0 mm ball pitch on a 23x23 mm substrate. Fan-out requires HDI microvias on at least 4 routing layers; plan the stackup so that the transceiver differential pairs have a continuous reference plane and a target differential impedance of 100 ohm. Decoupling: place 0.1 uF + 10 uF ceramic capacitors within 2 mm of every VCCIO bank pin.

Match lengths of LVDS pairs within the I/O bank's skew tolerance (typically 50 mil for LVDS at 1 Gbps). For 1.25 Gbps transceiver channels, keep the differential pairs length-matched to within 5 mil and avoid splitting the reference plane between transmit and receive. Use a pi-attenuation network or redriver on long board traces to recover eye margin.

Do not assume the EP1M120F484C6M is RoHS compliant - the Mercury family predates full RoHS conversion for many SKUs, and the 'M' suffix only indicates packing option. Confirm the latest material declaration with the distributor before shipping into RoHS markets. Also note that Quartus II software must support the Mercury device family for compilation and programming.
