EP2SGX60CF780C5

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The Altera EP2SGX60CF780C5 is a Stratix II GX Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) featuring 60,440 logic elements and 364 user I/O pins. It integrates four high-speed serial transceiver channels capable of data rates from 600 Mbps to 6.375 Gbps. The device utilizes a 1.2 V logic array with TriMatrix memory totaling 2,544,192 bits. It operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in a 780-pin FineLine BGA package.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Four high-speed serial transceiver channels with Clock Data Recovery (CDR) supporting up to 6.375 Gbps per channel.
• TriMatrix memory architecture providing 2,544,192 total RAM bits for dual-port and FIFO implementations.
• Integrated DSP blocks with embedded multipliers for high-performance signal processing applications.
• Support for multiple serial protocols including PCI Express, Gigabit Ethernet, SONET/SDH, and XAUI.

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

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

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or original manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific ordering suffix 'C5' corresponds to the required commercial temperature grade (+70°C max). Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL) handling requirements prior to soldering. Ensure design files are compatible with the Stratix II GX device family specifications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when four independent high-speed serial lanes are sufficient for the design bandwidth. Compare against EP2SGX30DF780C5 for lower density needs or EP2SGX60DF780C5 if eight transceiver channels are required within the same 780-pin footprint. Verify that the 60,440 logic element count meets the complexity requirements of the target application.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix II GX family, designed for scalable high-performance logic combined with serial connectivity. It sits between the EP2SGX30 and EP2SGX90 densities in terms of logic resources and transceiver counts. The 'C5' suffix denotes the commercial temperature variant, distinct from industrial or extended temperature grades.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

For vertical migration within the same 780-pin package, consider the EP2SGX30DF780C5 or EP2SGX60DF780C5. These devices share dedicated pin configurations for configuration and power, facilitating board-level upgrades without redesigning the PCB layout.
