Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EP3SL70F484C3 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Architecture: Identical number of logic elements (67,500) and LABs/CLBs (2,700)
• Memory Configuration: Identical total RAM bits (2,699,264)
• I/O Count: Identical number of I/O pins (296)
• Electrical Specifications: Identical supply voltage range (0.86V ~ 1.15V) and operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C)
• Physical Package: Identical package type (484-BBGA, FCBGA 23x23) and mounting method (Surface Mount)
• Compliance: RoHS compliant status maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity: Identical MSL rating (3, 168 Hours)

The substitute part EP3SL70F484C3G meets all these criteria and differs only in packaging format (Tray vs. standard packaging) and product status (Active vs. Obsolete).

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SL70F484C3G is the direct functional equivalent of the EP3SL70F484C3. Both devices are identical in electrical performance, logic capacity, memory configuration, I/O capability, and physical package specifications. The primary distinction is product status: the main part number is obsolete, while the substitute part number is active and currently available in inventory.

For new designs or system replacements requiring this logic density and I/O configuration, the EP3SL70F484C3G should be selected. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical moisture sensitivity ratings, ensuring compatibility with standard PCB assembly and storage protocols.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EP3SL70F484C3G be used as a direct replacement for EP3SL70F484C3?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical. They share the same logic element count, RAM configuration, I/O count, supply voltage range, operating temperature range, and 484-FBGA package specification. The only difference is packaging format and product status.

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

A: The EP3SL70F484C3G includes a "G" suffix and is supplied in Tray packaging, while the main part number uses standard packaging. The "G" designation indicates the active production variant. All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there any compliance or certification differences?

A: No. Both parts maintain RoHS compliance and identical Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL 3, 168 Hours) ratings. No additional certifications or compliance considerations apply to the substitution.

Q: Is the 484-FBGA (23x23) package footprint identical between both parts?

A: Yes. Both parts use the identical 484-FBGA (23x23) package with Surface Mount mounting type. PCB layout and assembly processes require no modification.

Q: Why is the main part number obsolete?

A: Product obsolescence is determined by manufacturer production status. The EP3SL70F484C3G remains in active production and is the recommended part for procurement.
