EP2AGX125EF29C6N

EP2AGX125EF29C6N is an Intel (formerly Altera) Arria GX FPGA device. It targets mid‑ to high‑density FPGA applications and provides approximately 125k logic elements. The device includes embedded memory blocks, DSP blocks, phase‑locked loops, and high‑speed I/O and SERDES transceivers across several I/O banks. It is designed for flexible hardware acceleration, signal processing, communications, and embedded systems where reconfigurability is key. Programming is done with Intel Quartus Prime (or Quartus II in older toolchains). The EP2AGX125EF29C6N name encodes the family (Arria GX), capacity (125k LEs), and packaging/speed options, with C6N referring to the package. For exact specifications—number of I/O, block RAM, transceiver channels, timing, and power—consult the official Intel product page and the EP2AGX125EF29C6N datasheet. Availability may vary as newer generations supersede it.

Direct equivalents depend on package, speed grade, and I/O. There are no fixed drop-in substitutions. To get precise cross-references, use Intel/Altera’s Device Cross Reference tool: enter EP2AGX125EF29C6N and view listed equivalents (same logic size in other families and compatible packages). You can also compare specs (125K LEs, I/O count, memory blocks, speed grade) and footprints to pick alternatives in Cyclone GX, Cyclone V or Arria GX families if a replacement is needed.
