EP3SL70F780C2G

The EP3SL70F780C2G is a Stratix® III L field-programmable gate array (FPGA) in a 780-FBGA (29×29) package from Intel. This commercial-grade device combines a large logic capacity with multi-megabit embedded memory and flexible I/O for high-performance logic, DSP and embedded system designs.

Designed for applications that require high integration and configurable performance, the device delivers 67,500 logic elements, approximately 2.7 Mbits of on-chip RAM, and 488 user I/O pins in a surface-mount FCBGA package while supporting selectable core voltage and power management features from the Stratix III family.

Key Features

• Core Logic  67,500 logic elements for implementing complex control, processing and glue-logic functions.
• Embedded Memory  Approximately 2.7 Mbits of on-chip RAM (2,699,264 bits) for FIFOs, buffers and on-chip data storage.
• I/O Capacity  488 user I/O pins with modular I/O bank architecture suitable for memory interfaces and diverse signaling standards.
• Package & Mounting  780-FBGA (29×29) FCBGA surface-mount package designed for high-density board integration.
• Power Supply  Selectable core voltage operation with a supply range of 860 mV to 1.15 V to balance performance and power.
• Operating Range  Commercial operating temperature range from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Family-Level Capabilities  Stratix III family features include high-speed DSP blocks, multiple PLLs and clock resources, SERDES support, built-in CRC and ECC for configuration and memory reliability, 256-bit AES configuration security options, and support for Nios® II embedded processor and megafunction IP (as documented in the Stratix III device handbook).
• Compliance  RoHS-compliant for global electronics manufacturing requirements.

Typical Applications

• High-performance networking  Use the device’s large logic capacity and family high-speed I/O features to implement packet processing, switch fabric, and protocol bridging functions.
• Digital signal processing  Leverage on-chip memory and Stratix III DSP capabilities for FIR filters, accumulation and fixed-point signal processing pipelines.
• Memory interfaces and controllers  Implement DDR/DDR2/DDR3 and other external memory interfaces using abundant I/O and modular bank structure.
• Embedded compute and system control  Integrate custom hardware accelerators, soft processors and system glue logic within the FPGA fabric and memory resources.

Unique Advantages

• Large, integrated logic and memory: 67,500 logic elements paired with approximately 2.7 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce external memory dependence and simplify board design.
• Flexible I/O in a dense package: 488 user I/Os in a 780-FBGA package enable high pin-count designs while maintaining compact PCB real estate.
• Power configurability: Selectable core voltage (860 mV–1.15 V) helps designers tune power vs. performance for application needs.
• Reliability features: Family-level CRC and ECC support enhance configuration and on-chip memory integrity for higher availability systems.
• Security options: Support for 256-bit AES configuration encryption (Stratix III family capability) helps protect intellectual property and bitstreams.
• Software and IP ecosystem: Compatibility with Stratix III family tools and megafunctions supports rapid integration of common peripherals and processing blocks.
