EP2SGX90FF1508 - 90,960 Cells FPGA | Altera | High-Speed Systems
Altera EP2SGX90FF1508 is a high-density Stratix II GX field-programmable gate array with 90,960 logic elements, 650 user I/O, and 4,520,448 RAM bits in a 1508-ball FCBGA package. The supplied source data identifies a 1.2 V supply and a listed Arrow frequency of 816.9 MHz, while Ampheo lists a related speed-grade listing at 717 MHz. The exact configuration suffix and the governing ordering-code table must therefore be checked before treating either number as a guaranteed operating limit. EP2SGX90FF1508 is intended for complex, high-speed digital systems requiring substantial programmable logic, embedded memory, and dense I/O.
A field-programmable gate array is a semiconductor device whose logic functions, interconnects, and I/O behavior can be programmed after manufacturing. Within the hierarchy, EP2SGX90FF1508 is a FPGA, then a programmable logic device, then an integrated circuit, and ultimately a configurable digital semiconductor. Unlike a fixed-function application-specific integrated circuit, an FPGA supports design changes without a new mask set. Its configurable architecture is useful when interface standards, protocol processing, timing requirements, or product variants evolve.
The principal resources are 90,960 logic elements and 4,520,448 RAM bits. DigiKey describes 650 user I/O for the EP2SGX90FF1508C3N ordering variant, and Mouser describes 4,548 LABs. These resources allow parallel datapaths, memory-intensive packet processing, and multiple interface controllers to coexist. The 1508-ball FCBGA package supports a large pin count on a compact BGA footprint, but demands controlled impedance, high-quality multilayer routing, and careful power delivery.
The supplied Arrow listing states 1.2 V, 816.9 MHz, and 90,960 cells for the EP2SGX90FF1508C3N. A related Ampheo listing gives 717 MHz for EP2SGX90FF1508C4N, showing why speed grade and ordering code matter. The target base MPN does not contain a visible speed-grade suffix in the provided text, so design decisions must use the exact ordered part and its manufacturer handbook. The device belongs to a high-speed family suited to demanding logic and memory configurations rather than low-cost control-only implementations.
Typical applications include high-throughput communications equipment, network packet processing, and test or imaging systems with parallel I/O. For communications systems, the programmable fabric can implement protocol-specific datapaths while 650 listed I/O support numerous external connections. For test equipment, 90,960 logic elements can implement real-time processing, capture control, and high-speed interfaces. These examples depend on final pin assignments, transceiver capability, power integrity, and timing closure in the exact configuration.
Designers should first resolve the complete ordering code and download the applicable Stratix II GX device documentation. Validate the intended 1.2 V rail, speed-grade timing, supported I/O standards, configuration scheme, clock resources, junction temperature, and exact 1508-ball pinout. BGA assembly requires appropriate via-in-pad or via construction, escape routing, solder-paste geometry, and package warpage controls. Use the exact ordering-code table rather than assigning a frequency solely from a related speed grade.
This product page combines verified distributor facts, explicit uncertainty markers, application context, package constraints, and sourcing information. It distinguishes exact base-MPN facts from suffix-specific listings and does not infer a guaranteed frequency where the verified data conflicts. Engineers should use the page to frame procurement and architecture decisions, then confirm implementation against the official Intel or Altera documentation and the exact purchased MPN.
