EP1S20F780C6

The EP1S20F780C6 is a Stratix® Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) IC from Intel, offered in a 780-FBGA (29×29) package. It delivers a high logic element count and substantial on-chip RAM alongside a large I/O complement for complex, programmable digital designs.

Built on the Stratix device family architecture, this device targets commercial applications that require dense logic capacity, flexible high-speed I/O, and integrated memory and DSP resources as documented in the Stratix device handbook.

Key Features

• Core Capacity  18,460 logic elements provide significant programmable logic resources for implementing complex digital functions and custom processing pipelines.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.67 Mbits of on-chip RAM (1,669,248 total RAM bits) to support buffering, packet processing, and on-chip data storage.
• I/O Density & Capabilities  586 I/O pins for high channel count designs; the Stratix family documentation includes support for advanced I/O structures such as double-data-rate I/O and high-speed differential interfaces.
• Clocking & DSP Resources  Architecture references in the device handbook include PLLs, clock networks, and multiplier/DSP block resources suitable for synchronized designs and arithmetic-intensive functions.
• Package & Mounting  780-BBGA, FCBGA package (supplier device package: 780-FBGA, 29×29) with surface-mount mounting for compact board footprint and high pin count routing.
• Power Supply  Core voltage supply range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match system power-rail planning and ensure stable device operation within specified limits.
• Commercial Temperature Grade  Rated for operation from 0 °C to 85 °C, suitable for commercial-grade electronics and controlled-environment applications.
• Design & Testability  Device handbook references include configuration and testing features such as JTAG boundary-scan and an embedded logic analyzer capability to aid prototyping and debug.
• Compliance  RoHS compliant for alignment with lead-free manufacturing and regulatory requirements.

Typical Applications

• High-Speed Communications  Leverage the device’s large I/O count and Stratix I/O architecture for protocol bridging, packet processing, and interface aggregation in commercial networking equipment.
• Signal Processing & DSP  Use the combination of abundant logic elements, on-chip RAM, and documented multiplier/DSP resources for fixed-point DSP, filtering, and custom accelerators.
• Memory Interface & Storage Controllers  On-chip memory and external RAM interfacing features make the device suitable for controller logic and buffering in storage and memory-access applications.
• Test, Measurement & Prototyping  JTAG boundary-scan and embedded logic analyzer features referenced in the Stratix handbook enable visibility and validation during development and production testing.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Density: 18,460 logic elements allow implementation of sizable custom logic and multiple functional blocks on a single device, reducing board-level complexity.
• Substantial On-Chip Memory: Approximately 1.67 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces reliance on external memory for many buffering and scratchpad needs.
• Exceptional I/O Count: 586 I/Os support dense connectivity and multi-channel interfaces without immediate need for I/O expansion.
• Advanced Clocking and DSP Support: Stratix architecture documentation includes PLLs and multiplier blocks to simplify synchronized and arithmetic-heavy designs.
• Compact, High-Pin-Count Package: The 780-FBGA (29×29) package provides a small board footprint while exposing a large number of signals for routing flexibility.
• Documented Design & Test Flow: The Stratix device handbook details configuration, timing, and test features to assist development, validation, and production readiness.
