SGX51001-1.0
Overview
The Stratix
®
GX family of devices is Altera’s second FPGA family to
combine high-speed serial transceivers with a scalable, high-performance
logic array. Stratix GX devices include 4 to 20 high-speed transceiver
channels, each incorporating clock data recovery (CDR) technology and
embedded SERDES capability at data rates of up to 3.1875 gigabits per
second (Gbps). These transceivers are grouped by four-channel
transceiver blocks, and are designed for low power consumption and
small die size. The Stratix GX FPGA technology is built upon the Stratix
architecture, and offers a 1.5-V logic array with unmatched performance,
flexibility, and time-to-market capabilities. This scalable,
high-performance architecture makes Stratix GX devices ideal for
high-speed backplane interface, chip-to-chip, and communications
protocol-bridging applications.

This parameter lists the total number of 9- × 9-bit multipliers for each device. For the total number of 18- × 18-bit
multipliers per device, divide the total number of 9- × 9-bit multipliers by 2. For the total number of 36- × 36-bit
multipliers per device, decide the total number of 9- × 9-bit multipliers by 8.

Stratix GX devices are available in space-saving FineLine BGA
®
packages
(refer to
Tables 1–2
and
1–3),
and in multiple speed grades (refer to
Table 1–4).
Stratix GX devices support vertical migration within the same
package (that is, you can migrate between the EP1SGX10C and
EP1SGX25C devices in the 672-pin FineLine BGA package). See the
Stratix GX device pin tables for more information. Vertical migration
means that you can migrate to devices whose dedicated pins,
configuration pins, and power pins are the same for a given package
across device densities. For I/O pin migration across densities, you must
cross-reference the available I/O pins using the device pin-outs for all
planned densities of a given package type, to identify which I/O pins it
is possible to migrate. The Quartus II software can automatically cross
reference and place all pins for migration when given a device migration
list.
