AGFA027R31C2I1VB

Overview

The AGFA027R31C2I1VB is an Agilex F Series System-on-Chip FPGA featuring a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor with CoreSight, NEON, and floating-point units. It integrates 1.9 million logic elements and operates at speeds up to 1.4 GHz. The device provides 480 I/Os and 256 KB of RAM within a 3184-BGA package measuring 56x45 mm. It supports DMA and WDT peripherals, functioning as both an MPU and FPGA architecture.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight technology for embedded control
• Combines 1.9M logic elements with high-speed processing capabilities up to 1.4 GHz
• Supports diverse connectivity interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, SPI, and UART/USART

Applications

• High-performance network infrastructure equipment requiring integrated processing and programmable logic
• Industrial automation systems utilizing the embedded ARM cores for real-time control
• Test and measurement instruments needing flexible I/O configurations and signal processing
• Medical imaging devices leveraging FPGA parallelism alongside processor-based data handling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I1' against official Altera documentation to confirm industrial temperature range compliance (-40°C to 100°C TJ). Confirm pinout compatibility with existing board designs, as the 3184-BGA footprint requires precise layout adherence. Check for recent Product Change Notices regarding labeling or marking updates that may affect traceability requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when system requirements demand a balance between embedded software execution via ARM Cortex-A53 and hardware acceleration through 1.9M logic elements. Ensure the design utilizes the 480 available I/Os efficiently. Compare against the E-series variants if commercial temperature ranges suffice, or consider higher-capacity models if logic density exceeds 1.9M LEs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Agilex F family, designed for applications bridging traditional FPGA flexibility with embedded processor performance. It shares architectural similarities with other Agilex SoCs but is distinguished by its specific logic density and I/O count tailored for mid-range high-performance computing tasks within the Altera portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes within the same package are limited due to unique pin assignments. Consider the AGFA019R31C2E1VB for similar form factors but verify differences in logic capacity and temperature ratings. Cross-family migration to Agilex I-Series parts requires significant schematic and firmware revalidation.
