EP1S20F484C5

The EP1S20F484C5 is a Stratix® series FPGA in a 484-ball FCBGA package designed for commercial embedded and enterprise applications. It combines a high logic element count with on-chip memory and a large I/O complement to support complex digital designs and high-density interfacing.

Built on the Stratix device architecture, this device addresses use cases that require flexible logic implementation, on-chip RAM, and comprehensive I/O capability—delivering integration and configurability for system designers.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Provides 18,460 logic elements suitable for medium-to-large custom logic integration and glue logic within a single FPGA.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.67 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support FIFOs, buffers, and local storage for data-path and control logic.
• I/O Density  361 I/O pins to support broad interfacing requirements, including parallel buses and external device connections.
• Package & Mounting  484-BBGA (FCBGA) surface-mount package (484-FBGA, 23×23) for high-density board designs and reliable soldered mounting.
• Power  Operates from a core supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V, enabling predictable integration into regulated power systems.
• Operating Range & Grade  Commercial grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for environmental requirements.
• Configuration & Test Support  Stratix family features shown in the device handbook include JTAG (IEEE 1149.1) boundary-scan support and embedded logic analysis and configuration options for development and debug.
• Clocking & DSP-Related Resources  Stratix device documentation references PLLs, global clocking networks, multiplier blocks, and DSP block interfaces to support timing and signal-processing design patterns.

Typical Applications

• Custom Data-Path Acceleration  Implement algorithmic acceleration and custom hardware pipelines using the device’s logic elements and on-chip RAM for intermediate storage.
• High-Density I/O Bridging  Use the 361 I/O pins to connect to multiple buses, serializers/deserializers, or parallel interfaces in communication and interface conversion roles.
• Prototyping and Platform Development  Leverage the Stratix architecture and configuration/test features for hardware/software co-design, verification, and iterative development.
• Digital Signal Processing  Exploit the documented multiplier and DSP block interfaces in the Stratix family for signal processing tasks requiring dedicated arithmetic resources.

Unique Advantages

• High logic integration: 18,460 logic elements let you consolidate multiple discrete functions into a single programmable device, reducing board-level complexity.
• Significant on-chip memory: Approximately 1.67 Mbits of embedded RAM supports buffering, packet queuing, and local data storage without external memory.
• Broad I/O capability: 361 I/O pins provide flexibility for multi-board systems, parallel interfaces, and mixed-signal front-ends.
• Commercial operating range: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C, suited to a wide range of commercial and enterprise deployment environments.
• Standards-based configuration and debug: Documented support for JTAG boundary-scan and embedded logic analysis aids development, testing, and in-field diagnostics.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS environmental requirements for regulatory and supply-chain consistency.
