EP2SGX90EF1152C3

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The Altera EP2SGX90EF1152C3 is a Stratix II GX Field Programmable Gate Array housed in a 1,152-pin FineLine BGA package. It features 36,384 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) and 12 high-speed serial transceiver channels capable of data rates from 600 Mbps to 6.375 Gbps. The device operates on a 1.2-V logic array and includes TriMatrix memory with M4K and M-RAM blocks. It supports source-synchronous I/O standards and provides dedicated DSP blocks for high-performance signal processing applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature range and package variant. Check for end-of-life status as older Stratix II devices may have limited availability. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if applicable to the target assembly process.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 12 transceiver channels are required within a 1,152-pin footprint. Compare against EP2SGX60E for lower density needs or EP2SGX90F for higher channel counts in larger packages. Verify that the 1.2-V core voltage aligns with the system power design. Ensure sufficient I/O pins are available for the specific interface requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix II GX family, designed for high-speed serial connectivity combined with scalable logic. It sits between the EP2SGX60 and EP2SGX130 series in terms of resource density. The 'E' suffix typically denotes the 1,152-pin package option within the EP2SGX90 device class.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Vertical migration within the same package allows replacement with other EP2SGX90 variants sharing pinouts. Cross-family migration to Arria or Cyclone requires significant redesign due to architectural differences. No direct pin-compatible substitutes exist outside the Stratix II GX family.
