EP3SE80F1152C3

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The EP3SE80F1152C3 is a Stratix III E series Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) manufactured by Altera, now part of Intel. It features 80,000 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs) and supports up to 744 I/O pins within a 1152-ball FineLine BGA package. The device integrates approximately 6.8 Mbits of embedded memory. Core logic operates at a voltage range of 0.86V to 1.15V. It is designed for surface-mount installation and supports an industrial operating temperature range of 0°C to 85°C junction temperature.

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3' against current Intel/Altera documentation to confirm it denotes the commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Check for official End-of-Life (EOL) notifications or Last-Time-Buy dates, as older Stratix III parts may have limited production availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's latest PCN documents.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require high logic density (80k ALMs) with significant embedded memory resources in a compact footprint. Ensure the system power supply can provide stable voltages between 0.86V and 1.15V for core logic. Verify that the PCB layout supports the 1152-ball FBGA pitch and thermal requirements for the 0-85°C operating range.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix III E family, which offers a balance of performance and cost for mid-to-high volume applications. It shares the same package and pinout compatibility with other variants in the EP3SE80 series, such as the EP3SE80F1152I3G, differing primarily in temperature rating and manufacturing revision.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other EP3SE80F1152 variants like EP3SE80F1152I3G. For functional upgrades, consider Stratix IV or V families, though these require schematic and layout redesigns due to architectural differences.
