Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EP3SL70F780I4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following parameters:

• Logic Architecture: Identical number of logic elements (67,500) and LABs/CLBs (2,700)
• I/O Configuration: Matching I/O count of 488 pins
• Memory Capacity: Equivalent total RAM bits (2,699,264)
• Electrical Specifications: Identical supply voltage range (0.86V ~ 1.15V) and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C)
• Package Specification: Same 780-FBGA footprint (29x29mm)
• Compliance Standards: RoHS compliance and MSL rating (3, 168 Hours)

The EP3SL70F780I4G qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete alignment with all these parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3SL70F780I4G is the appropriate selection for applications requiring the Stratix® III L FPGA architecture with 67,500 logic elements and 488 I/O pins. The primary distinction between the main part and its substitute is product status: the EP3SL70F780I4 is obsolete, while the EP3SL70F780I4G maintains active status. Both parts carry identical electrical specifications, package dimensions, and compliance certifications (RoHS compliant, MSL 3). The EP3SL70F780I4G is supplied in tray packaging, whereas the original part uses tube packaging. For new designs and production continuity, the EP3SL70F780I4G is the recommended selection.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EP3SL70F780I4G directly replace the EP3SL70F780I4 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical electrical specifications, logic element count, I/O configuration, memory capacity, supply voltage range, operating temperature range, and 780-FBGA package footprint. The only differences are product status and packaging format.

Q: What is the significance of the product status difference?

A: The EP3SL70F780I4 is classified as obsolete, indicating Intel has discontinued active production and support. The EP3SL70F780I4G maintains active status, ensuring ongoing availability and manufacturing support.

Q: Are there packaging considerations when switching between these parts?

A: The EP3SL70F780I4 is supplied in tube packaging, while the EP3SL70F780I4G uses tray packaging. Both maintain identical MSL 3 (168 Hours) moisture sensitivity levels. Handling and storage procedures remain consistent with the MSL classification.

Q: Do both parts meet the same compliance standards?

A: Yes. Both the EP3SL70F780I4 and EP3SL70F780I4G are RoHS compliant and carry identical ECCN (3A001A2C) and HTSUS (8542.39.0001) classifications.

Q: What are the key parameters that determine substitution eligibility?

A: Substitution is determined by matching logic element count (67,500), I/O configuration (488 pins), total RAM capacity (2,699,264 bits), supply voltage range (0.86V ~ 1.15V), operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C), and package specification (780-FBGA, 29x29mm).
