AGFB014R24C3E4X

Overview

The AGFB014R24C3E4X is an Agilex F-series System on Chip (SoC) FPGA manufactured by Altera. It integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight technology, ARM NEON, and floating-point units alongside 1.4 million logic elements. The device operates at speeds up to 1.4 GHz and includes 256 KB of RAM. It utilizes a 2340-ball BGA package measuring 45x42 mm. Key peripherals include DMA and WDT, with connectivity supporting EBI/EMI, Ethernet, I2C, MMC/SD/SDIO, SPI, UART/USART, and USB OTG. The operating temperature range is 0°C to 100°C TJ.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 MPCore processor with CoreSight technology for embedded control
• Provides 1.4 million logic elements within the Agilex F-series FPGA fabric
• Supports diverse peripheral interfaces including Ethernet, USB OTG, and standard serial protocols

Applications

• Embedded systems requiring combined processing and programmable logic
• Industrial automation controllers with real-time requirements
• Network infrastructure equipment utilizing integrated Ethernet connectivity

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'E4X' against official Altera documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as suffix variations often indicate distinct packaging or material compliance levels. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as stock levels fluctuate. Ensure the procurement channel provides valid traceability documents required for sensitive electronic components.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a design requires a balance of moderate FPGA capacity (1.4M LEs) and robust ARM processing capabilities. Compare against other Agilex F-series variants like AGFA012R24C3E4X if lower logic density suffices. Evaluate the 2340-BGA package constraints regarding PCB layout complexity and thermal management requirements for the 45x42 mm footprint.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Agilex 7 F-Series family, designed for high-performance embedded applications. It sits between lower-density models like the AGFA012 series and higher-capacity options such as the AGFB019 series. The R24C designation refers to the specific package and speed grade combination within the Agilex portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package are limited. Consider AGFA012R24C3E4X for reduced logic needs or AGFB019R24C3E4X for increased capacity, though pin compatibility must be verified. Cross-family migration may require significant schematic and firmware redesign.
