Key Features

• Logic Capacity — 47,500 logic elements to implement complex logic and control functions.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 5.76 Mbits of on-chip RAM for FIFOs, buffers and data storage close to logic.
• DSP and Multiplier Resources — Stratix III E family is optimized for memory- and multiplier-rich workloads, providing dedicated DSP blocks for high-throughput arithmetic.
• I/O and High-Speed Interfaces — 488 user I/O pins with modular I/O bank structure and support for high-speed differential signaling and SERDES features described for the family.
• Clocking and Timing — Support for multiple clock domains with up to 12 PLLs per device for clock synthesis, reconfiguration and dynamic phase adjustments (family capability).
• Power and Voltage — Selectable core voltage operation with a supply range of 0.86 V to 1.15 V and on-package/on-die decoupling strategies described for the family.
• Reliability and Security — Family-level features include optional 256-bit AES volatile and non-volatile configuration encryption and configuration error detection and correction mechanisms.
• Package and Mounting — 780-BBGA (supplier package: 780-FBGA, 29×29 mm) surface-mount package; commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Regulatory — RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High-performance DSP systems — Use the device’s multiplier-rich architecture and embedded memory to implement filters, accelerators, and other signal-processing tasks.
• Networking and communications — Leverage modular I/O banks, differential signaling support and SERDES-family capabilities for protocol handling and high-speed link interfaces.
• Memory interface controllers — Implement DDR/DDR2/DDR3 and other memory controllers using on-chip memory and dedicated memory-interface support available in the Stratix III family.
• Embedded compute and control — Combine logic, on-chip RAM and DSP resources to realize custom embedded processors, offload engines or peripheral bridge functions.

Unique Advantages

• High logic and memory integration: 47,500 logic elements paired with approximately 5.76 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce external memory dependence and simplify board-level design.
• Memory- and multiplier-focused architecture: The Stratix III E family emphasizes embedded memory and DSP resources, enabling efficient implementation of data-centric algorithms.
• Configurable power profile: Selectable core voltage and family-level Programmable Power Technology enable designers to balance performance and power consumption.
• Robust I/O flexibility: 488 user I/Os in a modular bank structure support a broad range of signaling standards and high-speed interfaces for system integration.
• Security and reliability features: Optional 256-bit AES configuration encryption and configuration memory error detection/correction support deployment in systems requiring protection and availability.
• Commercial temperature and standard package: Surface-mount 780-BBGA package and 0 °C to 85 °C operating range suited to a wide range of commercial applications.
