EP1800ILC-70

Overview

The EP1800ILC-70 is a high-performance Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Rochester Electronics, LLC. It belongs to the Altera FLEX 10K family, featuring an embedded array of 16,320 system gates and 48 I/O pins. The device integrates 576 Kbits of embedded RAM and supports up to 16 user macros. Operating at a maximum frequency of 70 MHz, it utilizes a 0.25-micron process technology with a 2.5V core voltage. The component is housed in a 256-pin Plastic Ball Grid Array (PBGA) package, designed for complex digital logic applications requiring high density and flexibility.

Part Context

This component is part of the Altera FLEX 10K family, originally developed by Altera Corporation. Rochester Electronics, LLC provides lifecycle support for this legacy FPGA, offering inventory sourced from original manufacturing runs or qualified surplus channels. The '70' suffix denotes the specific speed grade, indicating a maximum operating frequency of 70 MHz within the FLEX 10K series architecture.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include other speed grades within the same FLEX 10K family, such as the EP1800ILC-50 or EP1800ILC-80, provided timing requirements are met. Functional equivalents from other manufacturers require careful verification of logic density, memory capacity, and I/O voltage levels.
