Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EP3SL50F780C4L 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: Identical total RAM bits (2,184,192)
• I/O Count: Identical number of I/O pins (488)
• Package Specification: Identical package type (780-BBGA, FCBGA) and supplier device package (780-FBGA 29x29)
• Electrical Characteristics: Identical supply voltage range (0.86V ~ 1.15V) and operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C)
• Compliance: RoHS Compliant status maintained

The substitute part EP3SL50F780C4LG meets all these criteria, with the primary distinction being packaging format (Tray vs. standard packaging) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SL50F780C4LG is a direct functional equivalent to the EP3SL50F780C4L. Both devices maintain identical electrical specifications, logic capacity, memory configuration, and I/O characteristics. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the main part number is Obsolete, while the substitute is Active.

For new designs and ongoing production requirements, the EP3SL50F780C4LG is the appropriate selection. Both parts are RoHS Compliant and maintain equivalent moisture sensitivity levels. The substitute part is available in Tray packaging format, which is standard for active production inventory.
