EP1SGX10DF672C5

Overview

The Altera EP1SGX10DF672C5 is a Stratix GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 10,570 logic elements and 920,448 RAM bits. It integrates eight high-speed serial transceiver channels capable of full-duplex operation from 500 Mbps to 3.1875 Gbps. The device utilizes a 1.5-V logic array architecture and supports TriMatrix memory with M512, M4K, and M-RAM blocks. Packaged in a 672-pin FineLine BGA, it includes six DSP blocks and four enhanced PLLs for clock management.

Feature Summary

• Eight high-speed serial transceiver channels supporting data rates up to 3.1875 Gbps
• 10,570 logic elements and 920,448 total embedded RAM bits
• Integrated DSP blocks implementing multipliers and FIR filters
• Support for XAUI, Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and PCI Express protocols

Applications

• High-speed backplane interface systems
• Chip-to-chip communication links
• Communications protocol bridging
• Network infrastructure equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix 'D' against the official datasheet Table 4 to confirm performance characteristics. Ensure the package type matches the 672-pin FineLine BGA specification. Confirm that the ordering suffix aligns with the intended operating temperature range and environmental requirements defined by Altera.

Selection Notes

Select this component when eight transceiver channels are required within a 672-pin footprint. Compare resource utilization against the EP1SGX10C variant if fewer channels suffice. Verify vertical migration compatibility with other devices in the same package family if future density upgrades are planned.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix GX FPGA family, which combines high-performance logic arrays with embedded high-speed serial transceivers. The series was designed for applications requiring significant bandwidth and low power consumption. It represents a scalable architecture offering flexibility for various communication standards.

Replacement Considerations

Vertical migration within the 672-pin FineLine BGA package allows replacement with the EP1SGX10C model. Designers must verify I/O pin availability and dedicated pin configurations before migrating between densities.
