EPXA1F484C1

Overview

The EPXA1F484C1 is an Excalibur field-programmable gate array (FPGA) manufactured by Altera, now part of Intel. This system-on-chip device integrates an ARM processor core with programmable logic fabric within a 484-pin Fine-Pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package. The component is designed for embedded applications requiring high integration and low power consumption. It supports complex digital logic implementation alongside embedded processing capabilities, enabling the consolidation of controller functions onto a single chip.

Feature Summary

• Integrates ARM processor core with FPGA logic fabric
• Available in 484-ball FBGA package
• Supports embedded Internet and networked control applications
• Designed for low power and small form factor systems

Applications

• Networked motion controllers
• Embedded Web server implementations
• Industrial control systems
• Remote monitoring devices

Part Context

The EPXA1 belongs to the Excalibur family, which combines ARM architecture with Altera's FPGA technology. This series targets applications needing both programmable logic and embedded processing. The '484' suffix indicates the 484-pin package option, while 'C1' typically denotes commercial temperature range and specific speed grade within the product line.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this legacy Excalibur part. Designers should evaluate newer Intel Agilex or Cyclone V/SoC families for functional equivalents, considering architectural differences between legacy Excalibur ARM cores and modern integrated processors.
