EP3SL200F1517C3N

The EP3SL200F1517C3N is a Stratix® III L Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) from Intel, offered in a 1517-BBGA FCBGA package. It delivers high logic density, substantial on-chip memory, and a large I/O complement for complex, programmable system designs.

Targeted at commercial-grade applications, this device is well suited for designs requiring dense logic resources, extensive I/O, and embedded memory while operating within a 0 °C to 85 °C temperature range and a core supply of 0.86 V to 1.15 V.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 200,000 logic elements to implement complex digital functions and large-scale programmable logic designs.
• Embedded Memory — Approximately 10.9 Mbits of on-chip RAM to support buffering, data storage, and high-throughput data paths without relying exclusively on external memory.
• High I/O Count — 976 I/O pins to support wide bus interfaces, multi-channel connectivity, and dense external peripheral integration.
• Stratix III Architecture — Family-level architecture details documented in the Stratix III Device Handbook, including multi-track interconnect, TriMatrix embedded memory blocks, DSP blocks, clock networks, and PLLs.
• High-Speed Interfaces — Series documentation references high-speed differential I/O interfaces with DPA and external memory interface support for demanding data applications.
• Configuration & Testability — Device-level features include standard configuration mechanisms and IEEE 1149.1 (JTAG) boundary-scan testing as part of the Stratix III device family documentation.
• Power and Operating Range — Core supply range from 0.86 V to 1.15 V and commercial operating temperature range of 0 °C to 85 °C; surface-mount package (1517-FBGA, 40×40) for compact board-level integration.
• Compliance — RoHS-compliant construction suitable for environmentally regulated assemblies.

Typical Applications

• High-throughput signal processing — Leverage the device's large logic capacity and embedded memory for DSP tasks and streaming data pipelines.
• External memory interfacing — Use the device's architecture and high I/O count to implement memory controllers and wide external memory interfaces.
• Protocol bridging and I/O aggregation — The extensive I/O complement supports protocol conversion, bus aggregation, and multi-channel data routing.
• Custom compute and control — Implement custom control logic, state machines, and application-specific accelerators using the Stratix III resources.

Unique Advantages

• High logic density: Approximately 200,000 logic elements enable the implementation of complex, large-scale designs on a single device.
• Substantial embedded memory: Approximately 10.9 Mbits of on-chip RAM reduce dependency on external memory for buffering and storage.
• Extensive I/O: 976 I/O pins provide flexibility for wide data buses, many peripherals, and multi-channel interfaces.
• Family-level architecture: Stratix III device architecture (documented in the Stratix III Device Handbook) provides integrated building blocks such as DSP and memory primitives for system designers.
• Compact, surface-mount package: 1517-BBGA (1517-FBGA, 40×40) package supports high-density board layouts while maintaining required pin count.
• Commercial-grade readiness: Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliance for commercial applications and regulated assemblies.
