Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EP3SL50F780C4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

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

The substitute part EP3SL50F780C4G meets all these criteria and represents the active production equivalent of the obsolete main part number.

Parameter Comparison
