EP2A70F1508C8

The EP2A70F1508C8 is an Altera APEX II Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) supplied in a 1508-BBGA FCBGA package. It provides a high logic capacity and a very large I/O count suited to commercial designs that require extensive programmable logic and on-chip memory.

With 67,200 logic elements, approximately 1.15 Mbits of embedded memory, and 1,060 I/O pins, this device is targeted at commercial embedded systems and equipment where dense logic integration and high I/O connectivity are primary requirements.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity  67,200 logic elements and approximately 5,250,000 gates provide substantial programmable logic resources for complex designs.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 1.15 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, storage, and temporary data processing within the FPGA fabric.
• I/O Density  1,060 configurable I/O pins enable high channel counts and wide external interfacing for dense system designs.
• Package & Mounting  1508-BBGA FCBGA (supplier device package: 1508-FBGA, 40×40) in a surface-mount form factor for compact board integration.
• Power  Core supply voltage range of 1.425 V to 1.575 V to match low-voltage system power rails.
• Operating Range  Commercial temperature grade with an operating range of 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental Compliance  RoHS compliant, supporting regulatory requirements for lead-free assembly.

Typical Applications

• Commercial Networking Equipment  High logic density and large I/O counts support packet handling, custom protocol processing, and interface aggregation in commercial network devices.
• Embedded Compute Modules  Use the device for hardware-accelerated processing, glue-logic, and custom peripheral control in commercial embedded systems.
• Video and Imaging Processing  On-chip memory and abundant logic resources enable buffering and parallel data processing needed in imaging pipelines.
• High-Density I/O Systems  Large I/O complement supports board-level designs that require many external signal connections or wide parallel buses.

Unique Advantages

• High Logic Integration: 67,200 logic elements allow consolidation of multiple functions into a single device, reducing board-level complexity.
• Substantial On-Chip Memory: Approximately 1.15 Mbits of embedded RAM supports local buffering and state storage without needing large external memory.
• Extensive I/O: 1,060 I/O pins provide flexibility for interfacing to numerous peripherals, sensors, or external buses.
• Compact, Surface-Mount Package: 1508-BBGA FCBGA package enables high-density PCB layouts while maintaining robust thermal and electrical characteristics for commercial assemblies.
• Commercial Temperature Grade: Rated 0 °C to 85 °C to suit a wide range of commercial environments and applications.
• Regulatory Compliance: RoHS compliant to meet lead-free assembly requirements.
