EP2S15F484C5N

The EP2S15F484C5N is a Stratix® II FPGA from Intel, delivering a programmable logic platform with dedicated on-chip resources for demanding embedded and signal-processing designs. The device combines 15,600 logic elements with substantial embedded memory and extensive I/O to support high-bandwidth logic, memory interfacing and high-speed I/O requirements.

Architectural elements documented for the Stratix II family—such as TriMatrix memory, digital signal processing blocks, multiple PLLs and a hierarchical clocking structure—give designers integrated resources for timing, DSP and interface tasks while maintaining a commercial-grade operating range and RoHS compliance.

Key Features

• Core Logic 15,600 logic elements provide the programmable capacity needed for complex control, glue-logic and custom processing functions.
• Embedded Memory Approximately 0.42 Mbits of on-chip RAM (419,328 total RAM bits) using the family’s TriMatrix memory architecture for efficient local storage and buffering.
• I/O and Interface Capability 342 user I/O pins with documented support for high-speed and advanced I/O standards, including double data rate interfaces and on-chip termination options.
• Clocking and Timing Integrated PLLs and hierarchical clock networks, including enhanced and fast PLL options, to support flexible clocking and multi-rate designs.
• On-Chip Tools & Configuration IEEE 1149.1 JTAG boundary-scan support and SignalTap II embedded logic analyzer capability enable in-system test, debug and configuration options.
• Package, Power and Thermal Surface-mount 484-BBGA (484-FBGA, 23 × 23) package, VCCINT supply range 1.15 V to 1.25 V, and commercial operating temperature range 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Reliability & Compliance Commercial-grade device with RoHS compliance.

Typical Applications

• High-speed signal processing Use the device’s digital signal processing blocks and substantial logic fabric for filter engines, FFTs and other DSP workloads.
• Memory interface controllers TriMatrix memory and documented external RAM interfacing support implementation of memory controllers, buffering and data-path management.
• Communications and I/O bridging Extensive I/O count and high-speed I/O support allow implementation of protocol bridges, packet processing and custom transceiver logic.
• Embedded control and glue logic Programmable logic elements and on-chip resources enable custom control, timing-critical glue logic and system-management functions.

Unique Advantages

• Substantial programmable capacity: 15,600 logic elements provide room for mid-range to complex FPGA designs without immediate need for larger devices.
• Integrated on-chip memory: Approximately 0.42 Mbits of embedded RAM reduces dependence on external memory for many buffering and local-storage needs.
• High I/O density: 342 I/O pins support multi-channel interfaces and complex board-level connectivity.
• Flexible clocking: Multiple PLLs and hierarchical clock networks enable multi-domain timing and flexible frequency management.
• In-system visibility and test: IEEE 1149.1 JTAG and SignalTap II support ease bring-up, debugging and field diagnostics.
• Commercial-grade and compliant: Surface-mount 484-BBGA packaging, 0 °C to 85 °C range and RoHS compliance meet typical commercial product requirements.
