EP2S15F484I4

The EP2S15F484I4 is a Stratix II field programmable gate array (FPGA) from Intel, supplied in a 484-ball BGA package. It integrates 15,600 logic elements and approximately 0.42 Mbits of embedded memory (419,328 total RAM bits), delivering a compact, programmable platform for mid-density logic and system interfacing.

Designed for industrial-grade applications, this surface-mount device provides 342 I/O pins, a core supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V, and an operating temperature range of −40 °C to 100 °C, suitable for a range of embedded and industrial deployments.

Key Features

• High-density logic — 15,600 logic elements provide a robust fabric for implementing custom logic, state machines, and glue logic within a single device.
• Embedded memory — Approximately 0.42 Mbits of on-chip RAM (419,328 bits) supports FIFOs, small buffers, and local storage without immediate need for external RAM.
• Extensive I/O — 342 I/O pins enable broad interfacing options for peripherals, memory buses, and mixed-signal front-ends.
• Advanced chip architecture (series documentation) — Stratix II family documentation describes features such as PLLs and clock networks, high-speed I/O options, on-chip termination, and DSP blocks for timing, clocking, and signal processing use cases.
• Power — Core voltage supply range of 1.15 V to 1.25 V to match system power architectures.
• Industrial temperature rating — Specified operating range from −40 °C to 100 °C for reliable operation in demanding environments.
• Package & mounting — 484-ball BGA (supplier package listed as 484-FBGA, 23×23) in a surface-mount form factor for compact PCB integration.
• Environmental compliance — RoHS compliant, supporting current environmental manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• Industrial control — Implement real-time logic, I/O aggregation, and protocol bridging while operating across industrial temperature ranges.
• High-speed interfaces — Use the device’s ample I/O count and Stratix II I/O architecture for bridging and buffering between high-pin-count subsystems.
• Signal processing glue logic — Combine logic elements and embedded RAM to implement custom preprocessing, buffering, or control around dedicated DSP systems.
• Embedded system integration — Consolidate control, interface, and timing functions into a single programmable device to reduce board-level complexity.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced logic and memory capacity: 15,600 logic elements combined with ~0.42 Mbits of embedded RAM enable mid-density designs without immediate external-memory dependence.
• High interface density: 342 I/Os give flexibility to connect multiple peripherals, buses, and external devices directly to the FPGA fabric.
• Industrial operating range: Rated from −40 °C to 100 °C for deployments that require extended-temperature reliability.
• Compact BGA footprint: 484-ball BGA (484-FBGA, 23×23) allows a high-pin-count device in a small PCB area to save system board real estate.
• Designed-in configurability: Stratix II family documentation highlights clocking, PLLs, high-speed I/O, and on-chip termination features that support flexible system timing and signal integrity strategies.
• RoHS compliant: Meets current lead-free manufacturing requirements for environmentally conscious production.
