Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EP3SE50F780C3 is based on strict equivalence across all critical electrical and mechanical parameters. The substitute part EP3SE50F780C3G maintains identical specifications in the following key areas:

• Logic element count: 47,500
• I/O pin count: 488
• RAM capacity: 5,760,000 bits
• Supply voltage range: 0.86V ~ 1.15V
• Operating temperature range: 0°C ~ 85°C (TJ)
• Package configuration: 780-FBGA (29x29)
• Mounting technology: Surface Mount
• Environmental compliance: RoHS Compliant, MSL 3

The primary distinction between the main part and substitute is product status and packaging format, with the substitute offering active product status and tray packaging.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SE50F780C3G is the direct equivalent substitute for the EP3SE50F780C3. Selection of the substitute part is supported by:

• Identical electrical specifications across all functional parameters
• Identical mechanical and thermal characteristics
• Equivalent environmental compliance certifications (RoHS Compliant, MSL 3)
• Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support
• Tray packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes

The obsolete status of the original part makes the active substitute the appropriate choice for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are EP3SE50F780C3 and EP3SE50F780C3G pin-compatible?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical 780-FBGA (29x29) package configurations with 488 I/O pins in the same physical arrangement.

Q: Can EP3SE50F780C3G be used as a direct replacement in existing designs?

A: Yes. The substitute part maintains identical electrical specifications, including supply voltage range (0.86V ~ 1.15V), operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C), logic element count (47,500), and RAM capacity (5,760,000 bits). No design modifications are required.

Q: What is the difference between the two part numbers?

A: The primary differences are product status and packaging. EP3SE50F780C3 is obsolete with bulk packaging, while EP3SE50F780C3G is active with tray packaging. All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both EP3SE50F780C3 and EP3SE50F780C3G are RoHS Compliant with Moisture Sensitivity Level 3 (168 Hours).

Q: What is the significance of the "G" suffix in EP3SE50F780C3G?

A: The "G" suffix indicates the tray packaging format and active product status, distinguishing it from the obsolete bulk-packaged variant.
