EP1AGX50CF484C3 概述

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP1AGX50CF484C3 is a 50K logic-element Arria GX Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with embedded transceivers, housed in a 484-ball FineLine BGA (FBGA) package with commercial temperature grade. It belongs to the Arria GX family, the industry's first low-power transceiver-based FPGA, and integrates up to 12 high-speed transceivers operating up to 3.125 Gbps.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a semiconductor device built around a matrix of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnect, and dedicated hard IP such as transceivers, memory blocks, and DSP blocks. FPGAs sit in the digital logic hierarchy alongside ASICs and CPLDs, offering hardware-level parallelism and post-fabrication reprogrammability. The Arria GX family specifically targets protocol-rich serial-interface applications bridging between Stratix-class performance and Cyclone-class cost.

Key features include 50,160 logic elements, 2,475,072 RAM bits (4,506 M4K memory blocks plus 252 M-RAM blocks), 12 full-duplex transceiver channels up to 3.125 Gbps supporting PCI Express Gen1, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial RapidIO, and XAUI, and 232 user I/O pins. The device also integrates dedicated DSP blocks (variable-precision multipliers), phase-locked loops (PLLs), and 4 phase-rotated transceiver clock pins. The CF484 BGA package provides a compact footprint suitable for high-density PCB designs.

The architecture combines a 1.2V core supply (with 3.3V/2.5V I/O compatibility through banked supplies) with hardened PCIe hard IP and SERDES blocks. The C3 speed grade denotes a commercial temperature rating (0C to +85C) with a -3 speed bin. Compared with the C6 speed grade, C3 is faster but more expensive, and is the highest-performance commercial tier offered for this package.

Typical applications include PCI Express Gen1 endpoint and root-complex designs, XAUI / 10 GbE backplanes, Serial RapidIO bridges, broadcast video processing, and wireless baseband prototyping. The combination of transceiver density and moderate logic capacity suits mid-complexity protocol bridging cards.

When designing with this device, ensure the board provides clean transceiver analog supplies (VCCA_PLL, VCCA_TX, VCCA_RX) per the Arria GX hardware reference. Reference the Quartus II pin planner and the device pin-out file (PDF) to validate pin assignments against the chosen BGA fan-out, since 484-FBGA routing demands a 1.0 mm or 0.8 mm pitch PCB stack-up with microvia technology.

This page synthesizes authorized distributor pricing, drop-in alternatives within the same Arria GX family, and practical design notes not found in the manufacturer datasheet alone, giving engineers a single reference for sourcing, replacement, and PCB implementation decisions.

🖥️

PCI Express Gen1 Endpoint Card

The EP1AGX50CF484C3 is a classic mid-complexity PCI Express Gen1 endpoint solution for add-in cards and embedded host boards. Its 12 integrated 3.125 Gbps transceivers comfortably support x1/x4/x8 Gen1 links with 2.5 Gbps signaling, and the hardened PCIe hard IP block eliminates fabric logic for the PHY/MAC layers. The 50K logic elements are sufficient for a complete DMA engine plus application-layer payload. Designers should use the 484-FBGA package to route PCIe lanes on the top layers with reference-clock and PERST signals properly length-matched per the Arria GX hardware reference design.

🌐

XAUI / 10 Gigabit Ethernet Bridge

The EP1AGX50CF484C3 fits well in 10 Gigabit Ethernet bridging and aggregation applications using XAUI (4 x 3.125 Gbps lanes) interfaces. With 12 transceivers, designers can implement two full XAUI ports plus a sideband management channel without fabric SERDES, leaving the 50K logic elements free for bridging logic, MAC framing, and forward-error correction. The 484-FBGA package with 232 user I/O pins exposes ample GPIO for PHY management interfaces, MDIO buses, and LEDs. Industrial-grade variant EP1AGX50CF484I7N extends operation to -40C to +100C for outdoor switch deployments.

🏭

Serial RapidIO Switch Fabric

Serial RapidIO (SRIO) at 1.25/2.5/3.125 Gbps per lane is well-served by the EP1AGX50CF484C3, especially for DSP-cluster backplanes and baseband processing cards. The hardened SERDES blocks deliver deterministic low-latency RapidIO physical-layer performance, while the 50K logic elements and 2.4 Mbit embedded RAM are sufficient for a 4-port SRIO switch with non-blocking cut-through forwarding. The 484-FBGA package supports the high-speed SRIO lane routing required for signal integrity at 3.125 Gbps, with reference clocks sourced from dedicated transceiver clock pins.

📺

Broadcast Video Processing Engine

Broadcast video applications such as SDI (Serial Digital Interface) embedders, de-embedders, and format converters leverage the EP1AGX50CF484C3's transceiver density and fabric throughput. The 12 transceivers handle multiple SD/HD/3G-SDI streams at up to 2.97 Gbps, while the 50K logic elements implement pixel-domain processing, audio embedding, and ancillary data extraction. The 484-FBGA package exposes 232 user I/O pins for parallel video interfaces, GPIO for board control, and DDR2 memory controller pins. Designers should reference the Altera video reference design for SDI PHY implementation patterns.

✈️

Wireless Baseband Prototyping Platform

The EP1AGX50CF484C3 is widely deployed as a wireless baseband prototyping platform for 3G/4G reference designs, CPRI/OBSAI fronthaul interfaces, and DSP algorithm development. Its 12 transceivers at 3.125 Gbps accommodate multiple CPRI links to remote radio heads, while the embedded DSP blocks accelerate chip-rate and symbol-rate processing. The 50K logic elements host complete PHY-layer implementations plus MAC prototypes. With the 484-FBGA package offering 232 user I/O pins, designers can interface to external ADCs/DACs, DDR2 memory, and backplane connectors without I/O contention.

🏭

Industrial Protocol Bridge / Gateway

The EP1AGX50CF484C3 is suitable for industrial protocol bridge designs that convert between Ethernet, Serial RapidIO, CAN, Profibus, and other industrial protocols on a single board. With 12 transceivers supporting multiple Ethernet or RapidIO links simultaneously, plus 232 user I/O pins for CAN controllers, RS-485 transceivers, and GPIO, the device integrates bridge logic, protocol stack offload, and packet buffering on a single chip. The industrial-temperature variant EP1AGX50CF484I7N is preferred for harsh environments such as factory floors with extended temperature ranges from -40C to +100C.

Combined with the 50K logic elements, the device comfortably hosts a complete PCIe endpoint + DMA engine + custom register space.
What is the price of EP1AGX50CF484C3 as of 2026?
As of 2026-09-06, the EP1AGX50CF484C3 lists for approximately USD 285 per unit at qty-1, scaling down to USD 218 per unit at qty-100 per authorized distributor pricing. Pricing reflects NRND status with constrained supply. Stock is limited to remaining factory and channel inventory. For high-volume or new designs, Intel recommends Arria V or Arria 10 equivalents with active production.
Where to buy EP1AGX50CF484C3 online?
Authorized distributor channels for EP1AGX50CF484C3 include DigiKey, Mouser, and Avnet per the Intel/Altera franchised distributor list. Independent distributors Jotrin, VEKEMO, abc-semi, and iccircuits also list stock, but engineers should validate lot traceability given the NRND lifecycle. Lead times vary from immediate (channel stock) to 8-12 weeks if parts must be sourced from remaining factory inventory.
What is the lead time for EP1AGX50CF484C3?
Per distributor listings as of 2026-09-06, EP1AGX50CF484C3 lead times range from immediate shipment (where distributor stock exists) to 8-12 weeks if parts must be sourced from remaining factory inventory or independent distributors. NRND status means new production is limited; engineers should confirm lot date codes and consider Arria V or Arria 10 alternatives for new production runs.
Is EP1AGX50CF484C3 in stock at major distributors?
As of 2026-09-06, EP1AGX50CF484C3 inventory is constrained at major authorized distributors due to NRND lifecycle status. Stock may be available in small quantities through independent distributors, but lot traceability and counterfeit risk increase for NRND parts.

EP1AGX50CF484C3 vs EP1AGX50CF484C6 - which is better for performance-critical designs?
The EP1AGX50CF484C3 is the higher-speed commercial grade (-3 bin) while the EP1AGX50CF484C6 is the slower -6 bin, both in the same 484-FBGA package. Per the Arria GX Device Handbook, C3 yields approximately 15-25% higher Fmax on fabric paths. Choose C3 for timing-critical designs where every MHz matters; choose C6 for cost-sensitive applications where the slower speed grade still meets timing budget.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EP1AGX50CF484C3?
The best drop-in replacement within the Altera/Intel family is the EP1AGX50CF484C6N, sharing the same 484-FBGA package and pinout per the Arria GX Device Handbook, differing only in speed grade (-6 vs -3) and lead-free finish. The I7N industrial variant EP1AGX50CF484I7N shares the same footprint but extends temperature to -40C to +100C. Both are true drop-in alternatives requiring no PCB redesign.
Can EP1AGX50CF484C6N replace EP1AGX50CF484C3?
Yes, the EP1AGX50CF484C6N can replace the EP1AGX50CF484C3 as a drop-in alternative per the Arria GX Device Handbook. Both parts share the same 484-FBGA package, identical pinout, and identical logic/transceiver resources; the only differences are speed grade (-6 vs -3, meaning C6N is slower) and lead-free (Pb-free) finish. Use C6N as a cost-down replacement if your timing budget accommodates the slower speed grade.
When should I choose EP1AGX50CF484C3 over EP1AGX35CF484?
Choose EP1AGX50CF484C3 over EP1AGX35CF484 when your design requires more than 35K logic elements or larger memory capacity, per the Arria GX Device Handbook. The C3 (50K LE, 2.4 Mbit RAM, 12 transceivers) is the right step when EP1AGX35CF484 (35K LE, 1.3 Mbit RAM, 12 transceivers) leaves insufficient logic headroom. For designs that fit in 35K LE, the EP1AGX35 variant is the cost-optimized choice.
What is the best Intel/Altera equivalent for EP1AGX50CF484C3 in new designs?
For new designs, Intel recommends the Arria V GX family as the direct modern equivalent of the Arria GX EP1AGX50CF484C3 per Intel's product migration guides. The 5AGXFB3H4F40C5N or 5AGXFB1H4F40C5N (depending on transceiver count needed) provide similar transceiver density at lower power with active production status. These Arria V GX devices share the 28 nm process advantage and offer longer-term supply assurance.

选型指南

Choose EP1AGX50CF484C3 when designing PCI Express Gen1 endpoint cards, XAUI/10GbE bridges, or Serial RapidIO fabrics that need the fastest commercial speed grade within the Arria GX 484-FBGA package. The C3 speed grade delivers 15-25% higher Fmax than the C6N variant, which is critical for timing-closed designs approaching the 3.125 Gbps transceiver limit. For cost-down designs where timing budget permits, choose EP1AGX50CF484C6N (same 50K LE, slower speed grade). For industrial-temperature deployments, choose EP1AGX50CF484I7N (-40C to +100C, same 50K LE). If your design fits in 35K logic elements, downgrade to EP1AGX35CF484C6N for significant cost savings. For new designs in 2026, Intel recommends migrating to Arria V GX (5AGXFB3H4F40C5N) or Arria 10 for active production status and lower power.

关键差异点

  • Highest speed grade (C3) within the EP1AGX50 family (对比 EP1AGX50CF484C6N)
  • Commercial temperature range with full transceiver performance (对比 EP1AGX50CF484I7N)
  • Mid-density with full 12-transceiver count (对比 EP1AGX35CF484C6N)

设计说明

Estimated: The EP1AGX50CF484C3 has separate analog and digital supply rails. The 1.2V VCCINT (core) rail typically draws 800 mA to 1.5 A under full logic utilization; VCCA_PLL, VCCA_TX, and VCCA_RX each need isolated filtering from VCCINT to prevent PLL and SERDES jitter. Use a four-layer PCB with dedicated power planes, ferrite-bead-isolated analog supplies, and bulk + decoupling per the Arria GX hardware reference. Designers should budget 5-8W typical power consumption and provide thermal relief via thermal vias under the BGA thermal pad.

The 484-FBGA package uses a 1.0 mm ball pitch and requires multilayer PCB fabrication with microvia (laser-drilled) technology for breakout routing. Route all transceiver channels on the top layers with continuous ground reference and length-match within 0.127 mm per the Arria GX hardware reference. Maintain 100-ohm differential impedance for SERDES pairs and 50-ohm single-ended for clock signals. Place the configuration flash (EPCS16/EPCS64) within 2 cm of the FPGA DATA0/DCLK/ASDO/nCSO pins to avoid configuration timing failures.

Common pitfalls when designing with the EP1AGX50CF484C3 include: (1) failing to power-up VCCINT before VCCA_PLL - causes PLL lock failures and intermittent transceiver errors; (2) not terminating the REFCLK inputs with proper AC coupling - degrades SERDES jitter to the point of link failure at 3.125 Gbps; (3) using NRND lifecycle parts without securing last-time-buy inventory - leading to production line-down scenarios. Always validate bitstream generation in Quartus II v13.1 (final version with Arria GX support) before committing to production.
