Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the 'L' suffix indicates the Low-power variant within the Stratix III family. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some sources list non-compliance for standard variants while others indicate compliance for specific suffixes. Check current lifecycle status as this model may be discontinued or subject to last-time buy restrictions. Ensure moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling protocols are followed during assembly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part when requiring high logic density with reduced power consumption compared to standard Stratix III devices. Compare against EP3SL70F780C4 if power efficiency is not critical but cost is lower. Verify that the 780-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB design constraints. Ensure the 1.1 V core voltage requirement aligns with the system's power delivery network capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix III family, designed for mid-to-high-end applications requiring significant programmable logic and memory resources. The 'L' designation typically signifies a low-power optimization within the series. It serves as an upgrade path from Cyclone III devices for designs needing higher performance and larger capacity.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are limited due to the specific 'L' low-power variant nature. Consider EP3SL70F780C4 if power savings are not mandatory. For newer designs, evaluate Intel Agilex or Cyclone V/10 LP families for long-term availability, though architectural differences require redesign.
