EP2AGX45DF29C4N Arria II GX Field Programmable Gate Array
The EP2AGX45DF29C4N is a mid-range FPGA from Intel/Altera belonging to the Arria II GX family, designed for applications requiring a balance of high performance, low power consumption, and cost efficiency. Built on a 65nm process technology, this device delivers approximately 45,000 logic elements (LEs) organized into 1,125 adaptive logic modules (ALMs), providing designers with substantial programmable logic capacity in a compact form factor. The Arria II GX architecture combines look-up table (LUT) based logic with dedicated carry chains and embedded multipliers, enabling efficient implementation of complex digital designs ranging from signal processing to protocol bridging.
This FPGA features up to 534 user I/O pins and supports multiple I/O standards including LVDS, LVPECL, and HSTL, making it suitable for high-speed board-to-board communication. The device incorporates 1.5Mbits of embedded RAM blocks and up to 112 embedded 18x18 multipliers, offering strong DSP capability without requiring external memory for moderate-scale applications. The core voltage operates at 1.15V to 1.25V with a -4 speed grade, delivering a maximum operating frequency of up to 475 MHz for core logic, which meets the timing requirements of most mid-complexity designs. The chip also includes dedicated PLLs for clock management, supporting up to 12 phase-locked loops for frequency synthesis and clock domain crossing.
