HC1S60F1020BQ

The HC1S60F1020BQ is an Intel Stratix® HardCopy® structured ASIC offering the architecture and feature set of Stratix FPGAs in a production-optimized device. It combines high logic density, abundant embedded memory, and a large I/O count in a 1020-BBGA package for commercial applications.

Typical use cases include high-speed networking and communications, DSP- and compute-heavy processing, and designs that migrate from Stratix FPGA prototypes to a fixed, production device. The HardCopy Stratix family is designed to preserve configured Stratix functionality while delivering on-average performance and power benefits versus FPGA prototypes.

Key Features

• Core architecture  HardCopy Stratix structured ASIC preserving the functionality of a configured Stratix device and providing pin-compatibility with Stratix counterparts.
• Logic density  57,120 logic elements to implement complex digital designs.
• Embedded memory  Approximately 5.2 Mbits of on-chip RAM (5,215,104 total RAM bits) for buffers, FIFOs, and large data structures.
• I/O resources  782 I/O pins supporting a wide range of single-ended and differential I/O standards and high-speed communications interfaces.
• DSP and clocking  Embedded high‑speed DSP blocks for multipliers and FIR implementations and support for up to 12 PLLs (enhanced and fast PLLs) for complex clocking schemes.
• Performance and power  HardCopy Stratix devices provide, on average, 50% higher performance and up to 40% lower power consumption compared with corresponding Stratix FPGAs.
• Package and mounting  1020-BBGA package (supplier device package: 1020-FBGA, 33×33) with surface-mount mounting for compact PCB integration.
• Electrical and temperature  Core supply range 1.425 V to 1.575 V; commercial grade operation from 0 °C to 85 °C.
• Environmental  RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• High‑speed networking and communications  Implement RapidIO, 10G Ethernet XSBI, SPI-4 Phase 2 and other bus protocols using the device’s large I/O count and high-speed interface support.
• Signal processing and DSP  Use embedded DSP blocks and plentiful on-chip RAM for FIR filters, multiply‑accumulate pipelines, and real‑time data processing.
• Prototype-to-production migration  Migrate verified Stratix FPGA designs to a production-ready HardCopy device while preserving pin compatibility and functionality.
• High-density logic integration  Consolidate glue logic, controllers, and protocol handling into a single device leveraging 57,120 logic elements and extensive I/O.

Unique Advantages

• Highly integrated logic and memory: 57,120 logic elements with approximately 5.2 Mbits of embedded RAM reduce the need for external components.
• Extensive I/O capacity: 782 I/O pins simplify board-level partitioning for multi-protocol designs and high-channel counts.
• Production-optimized package: 1020-BBGA (33×33) surface-mount package supports dense board layouts for space-constrained systems.
• Performance and power gains: On-average performance increases and power reductions compared to Stratix FPGA prototypes help meet throughput and efficiency targets.
• Design migration support: Preserves configured FPGA functionality and works within the Quartus II design flow for a streamlined prototype-to-production transition.
• Commercial readiness and compliance: Commercial temperature grade (0 °C to 85 °C) and RoHS compliance for mainstream production environments.
