Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EP3SL50F484C3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Series: Stratix® III L
• Number of Logic Elements: 47,500
• Total RAM Bits: 2,184,192
• Number of I/O: 296
• Package / Case: 484-BBGA, FCBGA
• Supplier Device Package: 484-FBGA (23x23)
• Voltage - Supply: 0.86V ~ 1.15V
• Operating Temperature: 0°C ~ 85°C (TJ)
• RoHS Status: RoHS Compliant
• Moisture Sensitivity Level: 3 (168 Hours)

The EP3SL50F484C3G qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications, package configuration, and environmental ratings. The primary distinction is product status and packaging format.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SL50F484C3G is the direct equivalent substitute for the EP3SL50F484C3. Both components share identical electrical and mechanical specifications, including logic element count, RAM capacity, I/O configuration, voltage requirements, and thermal operating range.

The EP3SL50F484C3G holds Active product status, ensuring continued availability and supply chain support. Both parts maintain RoHS Compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings, satisfying regulatory and environmental requirements.

The distinction between the two parts is packaging format: the original part is supplied in tube packaging, while the substitute is supplied in tray packaging. This difference does not affect functional performance or electrical characteristics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EP3SL50F484C3G be used as a direct replacement for the EP3SL50F484C3?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same logic element count (47,500), RAM capacity (2,184,192 bits), I/O configuration (296 pins), voltage specifications (0.86V ~ 1.15V), and package dimensions (484-FBGA 23x23). The only difference is packaging format and product status.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The EP3SL50F484C3 is classified as Obsolete, indicating it is no longer in active production. The EP3SL50F484C3G is Active, meaning it remains in current production and is available through standard supply channels. For new designs and ongoing support, the Active part is preferred.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and carry identical Moisture Sensitivity Level ratings (MSL 3, 168 Hours). Both meet the same environmental and regulatory standards.

Q: Does the packaging format affect circuit board assembly?

A: The packaging format (tube versus tray) does not affect the component itself or its electrical performance. The difference is in how units are supplied and handled during assembly operations. Both formats are compatible with standard surface mount assembly processes.

Q: What are the critical parameters for substitution?

A: Substitution is valid when the following parameters match: Series (Stratix® III L), Logic Elements (47,500), RAM Bits (2,184,192), I/O count (296), Package type (484-FBGA 23x23), Voltage range (0.86V ~ 1.15V), and Operating Temperature (0°C ~ 85°C). All these parameters are identical between the two parts.
