EP1S40F780I6

Overview

The EP1S40F780I6 is a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) belonging to the Stratix family, manufactured by Altera. It features 39,500 logic elements and 2,000 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs). The device provides 350 input/output pins and includes 2.5 Mbits of embedded memory. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.2 V to 3.3 V and supports an industrial operating temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a 780-pin FineLine BGA package.

Feature Summary

• Stratix FPGA architecture with 39,500 logic elements
• 2,000 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs)
• 350 I/O pins for flexible interface connectivity
• 2.5 Mbits total embedded memory capacity

Applications

• High-performance digital signal processing systems
• Complex protocol conversion and data routing
• Industrial control system logic implementation
• Telecommunications infrastructure hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision level and manufacturing date code upon receipt. Confirm that the 780-pin FBGA package matches the target PCB footprint dimensions. Ensure static-sensitive handling procedures are followed during installation. Check for any lead-free compliance markings if required by local regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a Stratix-class FPGA with approximately 40k logic elements is required. Compare pin counts against design requirements to ensure the 350 I/O limit is sufficient. Verify power supply constraints align with the 1.2V to 3.3V operational range. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the BGA-780 package profile.

Part Context

This component is part of the Altera Stratix series, designed for high-density programmable logic applications. It succeeded earlier Cyclone and Apex families in performance capabilities while maintaining compatibility with Quartus II software tools. The F780 suffix denotes the 780-pin ball grid array physical package configuration used for high-pin-count designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may not exist due to architectural differences. Evaluate Intel/Altera Stratix IV or V series devices for functional equivalents, noting potential changes in pinout and power requirements. Third-party compatible FPGAs require full design re-verification.
