Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute components for the EP3SE80F780C3 are identified based on strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Element Count: 80,000 elements (exact match required)
• I/O Pin Count: 488 pins (exact match required)
• Embedded RAM Capacity: 6,843,392 bits (exact match required)
• Package Configuration: 780-FBGA form factor (exact match required)
• Supply Voltage Range: 0.86V ~ 1.15V (exact match required)
• Operating Temperature Range: 0°C ~ 85°C (exact match required)
• Series Family: Stratix III E (same family designation)
• RoHS Compliance: RoHS Compliant status maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: MSL 3 (168 Hours) maintained

The EP3SE80F780C3G qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, package footprint, and functional architecture. The primary distinction is packaging format (Tray versus standard packaging) and active product status, which does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SE80F780C3G is electrically and mechanically equivalent to the EP3SE80F780C3 across all functional parameters. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

For Obsolete Part Replacement: The EP3SE80F780C3G is the appropriate choice, as it maintains active product status while preserving identical electrical specifications, package geometry, and compliance certifications. This ensures continuity for system maintenance and field replacements.

For New Designs: The EP3SE80F780C3G is preferred due to active manufacturing status and ongoing supplier support, while maintaining full compatibility with existing designs based on the EP3SE80F780C3.

Compliance Considerations: Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance and MSL 3 (168 Hours) ratings, ensuring compatibility with current manufacturing and environmental standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EP3SE80F780C3G be used as a direct replacement for the EP3SE80F780C3 in existing designs?
