Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix 'C6' against official datasheet Table 4, which lists available grades as -5, -6, and -7 for this package. Confirm that the ordering suffix does not alter the functional specifications or pinout compatibility within the 1020-pin FineLine BGA form factor.

Selection Notes

Select this device when requiring vertical migration within the 1020-pin package family, such as moving between EP1SGX25D and EP1SGX25F densities. Ensure the design utilizes the dedicated pins, configuration pins, and power pins that remain consistent across these densities to facilitate seamless integration.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix GX FPGA family, which combines high-performance logic arrays with high-speed serial transceivers. The EP1SGX25 variant offers a mid-range density option within the series, providing a balance of logic resources and serial bandwidth for complex system designs.

Replacement Considerations

Vertical migration is supported within the same 1020-pin package. Designers can migrate to devices like the EP1SGX25F, provided they verify I/O pin availability using device pin-outs for all planned densities to ensure compatibility.
