EP2A15B724C8

The EP2A15B724C8 is an Altera APEX II field programmable gate array (FPGA) device designed for commercial-grade programmable logic applications. It delivers a balanced combination of logic capacity, embedded memory, and I/O resources in a 724-ball BGA package intended for surface-mount assembly.

With 16,640 logic elements, approximately 0.426 Mbits of embedded RAM and 492 user I/O pins, this device is suited for designs that require significant on-chip logic, memory and I/O integration while operating within standard commercial temperature and supply ranges.

Key Features

• Core Logic  16,640 logic elements and approximately 1,900,000 gates provide the programmable fabric for custom digital designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 0.426 Mbits (425,984 bits) of on-chip RAM for data buffering, state storage and intermediate processing.
• I/O Capacity  492 user I/O pins to support wide external connectivity and parallel interfaces.
• Device Resources  1,664 CLB-equivalent blocks (listed as 1,664 LABs/CLBs in source data) as part of the device’s internal resource partitioning.
• Power and Supply  Supported core voltage range from 1.425 V to 1.575 V for integration into standard power domains.
• Package and Mounting  724-ball BGA package (724-BBGA, FCBGA) with supplier package dimension 724-BGA (35 × 35 mm); surface-mount package suitable for PCB assembly.
• Operating Range and Grade  Commercial-grade device with an operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• Custom digital logic and prototyping  Implement and iterate application-specific logic functions using the device’s programmable fabric and embedded RAM.
• I/O-intensive control systems  Leverage 492 user I/Os to interface with multiple peripherals, sensors and parallel bus systems.
• Memory-buffered processing  Use the on-chip RAM for buffering, temporary storage and small lookup tables in mid-complexity designs.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial logic capacity: 16,640 logic elements enables implementation of sizable custom logic blocks without external CPLDs.
• Integrated on-chip memory: Approximately 0.426 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for buffering and state storage.
• Large I/O complement: 492 I/O pins allow extensive external interfacing, simplifying board-level connectivity for multi-peripheral systems.
• Compact surface-mount BGA: 724-ball BGA (35 × 35 mm) package provides high pin density in a compact footprint for space-constrained PCBs.
• Commercial-temperature suitability: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operation to meet typical commercial environment requirements.
• RoHS compliant: Conforms to RoHS requirements for lead-free manufacturing environments.
