EP1S80F1508C7

Overview

The Altera EP1S80F1508C7 is a Stratix family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) housed in a 1508-pin FineLine Ball-Grid Array (FBGA) package. It features TriMatrix memory technology with dedicated block RAM and DSP blocks for high-performance signal processing. The device supports advanced I/O standards, including differential signaling, and includes embedded Phase-Locked Loops (PLLs) for clock management. Designed for complex digital logic applications, it offers extensive interconnect resources and configuration options via JTAG.

Feature Summary

• Stratix architecture with Logic Array Blocks (LABs) and MultiTrack interconnect
• TriMatrix memory blocks supporting various modes including single-port and dual-port
• Embedded DSP blocks with dedicated multipliers for arithmetic operations
• Enhanced and Fast PLLs for flexible clock network generation

Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation controllers
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and speed grade. Ensure compatibility with the Quartus Prime design software version required for the Stratix family. Check for any Process Change Notifications (PCNs) related to labeling or material composition before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high logic density and significant on-chip memory are required. Evaluate the pin count of the 1508-pin FBGA package against board space constraints. Confirm that the target application benefits from the Stratix architecture's dedicated DSP blocks and advanced clocking capabilities compared to lower-density families.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera Stratix FPGA family, which represents a high-performance tier of programmable logic devices. The 'EP1S' prefix denotes the first-generation Stratix series. The '80' indicates the approximate logic element count, while 'F1508' specifies the large ball-grid array package option suitable for high I/O requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and performance class should be sought from the Stratix family. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if substituting with other F1508 variants. Consider migration to newer generations only if architectural features or power efficiency improvements are critical.
