Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EP3SL50F780C2N is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Architecture: Identical number of logic elements (47,500) and LABs/CLBs (1,900)
• Memory Configuration: Matching total RAM bits (2,184,192)
• I/O Count: Equivalent I/O pin count (488)
• Electrical Specifications: Identical supply voltage range (0.86V ~ 1.15V)
• Package Geometry: Same package type (780-BBGA, FCBGA) and footprint (780-FBGA 29x29)
• Thermal Specifications: Matching operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C TJ)
• Environmental Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating (3, 168 Hours)

The EP3SL50F780C2G qualifies as a direct substitute based on full alignment with all specified parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SL50F780C2G is the qualified substitute for the EP3SL50F780C2N. Both devices maintain identical electrical, mechanical, and thermal specifications across all critical parameters. The primary distinction is product status: the EP3SL50F780C2N is obsolete, while the EP3SL50F780C2G is active. The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging and maintains full RoHS compliance and MSL rating equivalence. Selection of the EP3SL50F780C2G ensures continued access to functionally identical Stratix® III L FPGA technology with active manufacturer support.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EP3SL50F780C2G directly replace EP3SL50F780C2N in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are identical across all specified electrical, mechanical, and thermal parameters. The 780-FBGA (29x29) footprint, I/O count (488), supply voltage (0.86V ~ 1.15V), and operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C TJ) are equivalent. PCB layout and design files require no modification.

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

A: The EP3SL50F780C2N is obsolete, while the EP3SL50F780C2G is active. The substitute part is supplied in tray packaging. All functional and electrical specifications remain identical.
