EP3SE110F1152C4L Overview

The Intel EP3SE110F1152C4L is a high-density Stratix III E family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) integrating 107500 logic elements and 8936448 bits of embedded memory in a 1152-ball Fine-pitch Ball Grid Array (FBGA) package. Operating at up to 800 MHz internal frequency with a 0.9 V core supply, it is engineered for high-performance digital signal processing, ASIC prototyping, and high-bandwidth data-path designs. The device exposes 744 user I/O pins to support parallel chip-to-chip interconnects.

A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a class of programmable logic device that lets engineers implement arbitrary digital logic through configurable logic blocks (CLBs), routing interconnect, and hard IP blocks such as transceivers and memory controllers. FPGAs sit in the broader hierarchy of programmable logic -> logic IC -> integrated circuit -> semiconductor. Compared to ASICs, FPGAs offer in-system reprogrammability and faster time-to-market; compared to CPLDs, they deliver orders-of-magnitude higher logic capacity and richer DSP/embedded-memory resources.

Key features of the EP3SE110F1152C4L include 107500 logic elements for high gate-count designs, 8936448 bits (about 8.9 Mbit) of embedded RAM for packet buffering and data caching, 744 maximum user I/Os for wide external buses, and 800 MHz maximum internal operation for high-throughput datapaths. The 1152-ball FCBGA package supports controlled-impedance signal routing required by LVDS and DDR memory interfaces typical of Stratix III designs.

Architecturally, the Stratix III E series uses an enhanced adaptive logic module (ALM) fabric and MultiTrack interconnect for predictable timing closure. Hard IP blocks include high-speed transceivers, dedicated DSP blocks, and embedded TriMatrix memory that can be configured as single-port, simple dual-port, or true dual-port with separate read/write clocks.

Typical applications include ASIC prototyping, high-speed networking line cards, DSP accelerator cards, video broadcast equipment, and test and measurement platforms. The combination of high logic density, abundant I/O, and 8.9 Mbit embedded RAM makes it suitable for designs previously requiring multiple smaller FPGAs.

When designing with this device, ensure PCB layout supports the FCBGA ball pitch with microvia stack-ups, and that the Quartus II toolchain version matches the device silicon revision (C4 speed grade 4, commercial temperature 0C-85C). Plan power sequencing for the 0.9 V core rail with sufficient decoupling.

Selection Guide

Choose EP3SE110F1152C4L for new commercial-temperature Stratix III E designs that require lead-free RoHS compliance and have timing budgets compatible with the C4 speed grade. Choose EP3SE110F1152C3N or EP3SE110F1152C2N when tighter timing margins are required (faster Fmax) while staying lead-free. Choose EP3SE110F1152C4 (non-L suffix) only for legacy non-RoHS assemblies. Note: For new designs, Intel recommends migrating to Stratix V or Cyclone V families since Stratix III E is in N-RND status per the manufacturer datasheet. The C2 speed grade offers the fastest timing margin but at premium cost; the C4 grade provides the lowest cost for designs with relaxed Fmax requirements. All speed grades share the identical 1152-ball FCBGA footprint, so PCB designs can be reused with only timing closure differences at compile time.

Key Differentiators

  • Lead-free / RoHS-compliant terminal finish (vs EP3SE110F1152C4)
  • Slower speed grade with lower cost (vs EP3SE110F1152C3N)
  • High logic density with abundant embedded RAM (vs Lower-density Cyclone III devices in Site MPN list)

Design Notes

The 1152-ball FCBGA package requires a microvia PCB stack-up with via-in-pad or dogbone fan-out per the manufacturer datasheet. Use laser-drilled microvias (0.1 mm or smaller) for signal breakout and standard vias for power/ground. Impedance-controlled traces must target 50 ohm single-ended or 100 ohm differential per the Stratix III Device Handbook pinout guide to support LVDS and DDR memory interfaces.

Stratix III E devices require multi-rail power sequencing per the manufacturer datasheet. The 0.9 V core rail must reach regulation before I/O supplies (typically 1.2 V/1.5 V/1.8 V/2.5 V/3.3 V per bank standard). Use a sequencer with monotonic ramps; insufficient decoupling will cause power-good glitches that corrupt configuration. Reference the Stratix III pin connection guidelines for bulk capacitor placement per bank.

Do not select a Quartus II software version newer than 13.0 for Stratix III E design entry - newer versions dropped Stratix III support and the device family database is absent. Per the manufacturer datasheet, all design files, simulation models, and IP must be regenerated with a Quartus II version that includes the Stratix III E device library. Using a newer Quartus release causes synthesis errors.

Estimated: At full utilization of 107500 logic elements and 8.9 Mbit memory toggling at 800 MHz, the FCBGA-1152 package can dissipate 8-12 W. Without a heatsink and adequate airflow, junction temperature may exceed the 85C commercial limit. Calculate per the manufacturer datasheet thermal model using typical activity factor (0.1-0.2) and clock tree toggle rate; ensure theta-JA does not exceed 15 C/W with the planned PCB thermal design.
