EP1S20F484C7

The EP1S20F484C7 is a Stratix® family FPGA from Intel, offered in a 484-ball FCBGA package. It delivers substantial programmable logic and embedded memory capacity with a broad I/O complement for demanding commercial designs.

Designed around Stratix architecture components such as logic array blocks, on-chip memory and high-speed I/O support, this device targets communications, signal processing and embedded compute applications that require flexible, reconfigurable hardware with significant I/O and memory resources.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  Approximately 18,460 logic elements to implement custom digital functions and complex control logic.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.67 Mbits of on-chip RAM for buffering, lookup tables and local data storage.
• I/O Resources  361 I/O pins to support broad external interfacing and system-level connectivity.
• Stratix Architecture  Built on Stratix device architecture with documented features such as logic array blocks, TriMatrix memory structures, DSP block interfaces and PLL/clock network support.
• Configuration & Debug Support  Includes standard Stratix configuration and testing features such as JTAG boundary-scan and embedded logic analysis capabilities referenced in the device handbook.
• Power Supply  Operates from a core voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V, enabling consistent power-domain design.
• Package & Mounting  484-BBGA / FCBGA package (supplier device package: 484-FBGA, 23×23) designed for surface-mount PCB assembly.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation with RoHS-compliant materials.

Typical Applications

• Communications Equipment  High I/O count and Stratix I/O/clock resources allow protocol bridging, packet processing and interface adaptation in networking and telecom systems.
• Signal Processing & DSP  Embedded memory and the Stratix DSP block interface support data buffering and algorithm acceleration for real-time signal processing tasks.
• Embedded Compute & Prototyping  Large logic capacity and flexible I/O make the device suitable for hardware prototyping, system emulation and custom compute acceleration.
• Test & Measurement  Rich I/O and on-chip resources support custom data acquisition, timing control and processing functions in instrumentation platforms.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 18,460 logic elements provide headroom for complex state machines, custom datapaths and control logic without immediate part changes.
• Significant On-Chip Memory: Approximately 1.67 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces reliance on external memory for many buffering and LUT needs, simplifying board design.
• Extensive I/O Connectivity: 361 I/Os enable broad peripheral interfacing and multi-channel external device connections from a single FPGA.
• Stratix Family Tooling & Features: Architecture-level features documented in the Stratix device handbook (PLL/clock networks, memory modes, JTAG support) streamline system-level design and debugging.
• Compact Surface-Mount Package: 484-FBGA (23×23) packaging provides a high-density footprint suitable for space-constrained PCBs while maintaining thermal and signal integrity considerations.
• RoHS-Compliant Commercial Grade: Meets RoHS requirements and is specified for commercial temperature operation (0 °C to 85 °C) for mainstream electronics applications.
