HC1S60F1020AG

Field Programmable Gate Array Overview

The Altera HC1S60F1020AG is a HardCopy Stratix structured ASIC featuring 57,120 logic elements and an M-RAM block count of six. It utilizes a 1.5-V, 0.13-μm fabrication process with up to eight metal layers. The device is housed in a 1,020-pin FineLine BGA package with a 1.00 mm pitch and dimensions of 33 × 33 mm. It supports TriMatrix memory architecture, embedded DSP blocks, and up to 12 PLLs. Designed for high-volume production, it offers pin-to-pin compatibility with the EP1S60 FPGA prototype.

Field Programmable Gate Array Feature Summary

• Architecturally equivalent to Stratix FPGAs with fixed-function customization via top two metal layers
• Average 50% performance improvement and 40% lower power consumption compared to corresponding Stratix FPGAs
• Supports instant-on power-up modes without configuration circuitry
• Includes JTAG boundary-scan test compliance with IEEE Std. 1149.1-1990

Field Programmable Gate Array Applications

• High-volume production systems requiring ASIC-level performance at reduced cost
• Prototyping migration from Stratix FPGAs using HARDCOPY_FPGA_PROTOTYPE devices
• Applications supporting hot socketing with mixed-voltage environments

Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific ordering suffix corresponds to the required package variant and temperature grade. Confirm design migration status from the EP1S60 FPGA prototype to ensure functional equivalence before finalizing procurement specifications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this device when migrating verified Stratix FPGA designs to a fixed-function solution. Ensure the design does not rely on runtime reconfiguration or memory preloading, as these features are removed in the HardCopy architecture. Verify I/O drive strength requirements against updated IBIS models.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The HC1S60 belongs to the HardCopy Stratix family, which includes HC1S25, HC1S30, HC1S40, and HC1S80 devices. These structured ASICs share base arrays within their density class and are customized for specific designs. They serve as the production counterpart to the reprogrammable Stratix FPGA series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The HC1S60 is functionally equivalent to the Stratix EP1S60 FPGA. Designers typically migrate from the EP1S60 or the EP1S60_HARDCOPY_FPGA_PROTOTYPE variant. No direct cross-model substitutes exist within the HardCopy family due to unique metal layer customization.
