1. Arria GX Device Family Overview
AGX51001-2.0
Introduction
The Arria
®
GX family of devices combines 3.125 Gbps serial transceivers with reliable
packaging technology and a proven logic array. Arria GX devices include 4 to 12
high-speed transceiver channels, each incorporating clock data recovery (CDR)
technology and embedded SERDES circuitry designed to support PCI-Express,
Gigabit Ethernet, SDI, SerialLite II, XAUI, and Serial RapidIO protocols, along with
the ability to develop proprietary, serial-based IP using its Basic mode. The
transceivers build upon the success of the Stratix
®
II GX family. The Arria GX FPGA
technology offers a 1.2-V logic array with the right level of performance and
dependability needed to support these mainstream protocols.
Features
The key features of Arria GX devices include:
■
Transceiver block features
■
■
High-speed serial transceiver channels with CDR support up to 3.125 Gbps.
Devices available with 4, 8, or 12 high-speed full-duplex serial transceiver
channels
Support for the following CDR-based bus standards—PCI Express, Gigabit
Ethernet, SDI, SerialLite II, XAUI, and Serial RapidIO, along with the ability to
develop proprietary, serial-based IP using its Basic mode
Individual transmitter and receiver channel power-down capability for
reduced power consumption during non-operation
1.2- and 1.5-V pseudo current mode logic (PCML) support on transmitter
output buffers
Receiver indicator for loss of signal (available only in PCI Express [PIPE]
mode)
Hot socketing feature for hot plug-in or hot swap and power sequencing
support without the use of external devices
Dedicated circuitry that is compliant with PIPE, XAUI, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial
Digital Interface (SDI), and Serial RapidIO
8B/10B encoder/decoder performs 8-bit to 10-bit encoding and 10-bit to 8-bit
decoding
Phase compensation FIFO buffer performs clock domain translation between
the transceiver block and the logic array
Channel aligner compliant with XAUI

Arria GX devices are available in space-saving FBGA packages (refer to
Table 1–2).
All
Arria GX devices support vertical migration within the same package. With vertical
migration support, designers 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, the designer must cross-reference
the available I/O pins with the device pin-outs for all planned densities of a given
package type to identify which I/O pins are migratable.
