Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EP3SL70F780C4N 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 (488)
• Electrical Specifications: Identical supply voltage range (0.86V ~ 1.15V)
• Package Geometry: Identical package type (780-BBGA, FCBGA) and footprint (780-FBGA 29x29)
• Thermal Range: Identical operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C TJ)
• Compliance: RoHS Compliant status maintained
• Moisture Sensitivity: Identical MSL rating (3, 168 Hours)

The EP3SL70F780C4G qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all electrical, mechanical, and environmental specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SL70F780C4G is a direct functional and electrical equivalent to the EP3SL70F780C4N. The primary distinction is product status: the EP3SL70F780C4N is obsolete, while the EP3SL70F780C4G maintains active status with Intel. Both parts maintain identical RoHS Compliance and MSL ratings, ensuring equivalent environmental and regulatory compliance.

For applications currently using the EP3SL70F780C4N, the EP3SL70F780C4G provides continued availability without design modification. The substitute part is supplied in Tray packaging, which may differ from the original packaging specification but does not affect electrical or mechanical compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EP3SL70F780C4G replace the EP3SL70F780C4N in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and mechanically identical across all specified parameters, including logic element count, I/O configuration, supply voltage, package geometry, and thermal operating range. No design changes are required.

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