Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EP3SL70F484C4N is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Architecture: Identical logic element count (67,500) and LAB/CLB configuration (2,700)
• Memory Configuration: Matching embedded RAM capacity (2,699,264 bits)
• I/O Capability: Equivalent I/O pin count (296 pins)
• Electrical Specifications: Identical supply voltage range (0.86V – 1.15V)
• Thermal Performance: Matching operating temperature range (0°C – 85°C)
• Package Footprint: Same package type (484-BBGA, FCBGA 23×23)
• Compliance: RoHS compliance and MSL rating alignment

The EP3SL70F484C4G meets all substitution criteria as a direct equivalent within the Stratix® III L series.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SL70F484C4G is a direct functional equivalent to the EP3SL70F484C4N. The primary distinction is product lifecycle status: the EP3SL70F484C4N is obsolete, while the EP3SL70F484C4G maintains active product status. Both devices are RoHS compliant and carry identical MSL ratings, ensuring compatibility in applications requiring environmental compliance. The EP3SL70F484C4G is the appropriate selection for new designs, system updates, and long-term procurement strategies where component availability and manufacturer support are required.
