EP3SL340F1760I3N Overview

The Intel (formerly Altera) EP3SL340F1760I3N is a high-density, low-power member of the Stratix III L FPGA family, integrating 337,500 logic elements in a 1760-ball Flip-Chip BGA (FC-FBGA) package and fabricated on a 65 nm process node. The device operates at a core voltage of 1.1 V and supports user I/O counts up to 1120, with up to 18,822,144 bits of embedded memory and 13,500 logic array blocks (LABs) per the manufacturer ordering information. Per DigiKey catalog data the device is qualified for industrial temperature operation and ships in lead-free packaging.

An FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) is a reconfigurable digital integrated circuit that combines programmable logic blocks, routing interconnect, and dedicated hard IP such as memory blocks, DSP blocks, and high-speed transceivers. Within Intel's portfolio, the Stratix III L family sits in the high-density, low-power segment, designed for applications that require very large gate counts but where dynamic power must be minimized. The L variant extends the Stratix III architecture with programmable power technology that lets unused regions be powered down at fine granularity, lowering both static and dynamic consumption compared with the standard Stratix III family.

Key features of the EP3SL340F1760I3N include 337,500 logic elements, 18,822,144 embedded memory bits, support for up to 1120 general-purpose I/O pins arranged across multiple I/O banks, and integrated DSP blocks for high-throughput signal processing. The 1760-ball FCBGA package exposes the full user-I/O and high-speed serial interface count and is suited to backplane-style boards where signal integrity and density are critical. Configuration is via standard JTAG, serial, or parallel modes and the device supports the Altera/Intel Quartus II design flow.

Architecturally, the device uses 65 nm CMOS with hard IP for memory, DSP, and transceiver blocks; this hybrid fabric delivers deterministic performance for parallel DSP pipelines while keeping logic utilization flexible. Compared with previous-generation Stratix II parts, Stratix III L improves logic density, reduces dynamic power by roughly 50 percent at the same performance, and adds the programmable-power capability for fine-grained power gating.

Typical applications include high-performance digital signal processing in radar and software-defined radio, ASIC prototyping, high-speed protocol bridging such as PCIe Gen2 and Serial RapidIO, industrial imaging and video processing, and military/aerospace signal processing where the device's large logic and memory budget is required. The 1760-BGA package is the largest in the Stratix III L family and is selected when the design needs the maximum I/O and transceiver count.

When designing with this part, ensure the PCB BGA layout supports the 1 mm ball pitch, that all power rails (VCC, VCCPD, VCCIO per bank) are properly decoupled, and that thermal management accounts for the device's possible high power dissipation under heavy utilization. Quartus II software with the appropriate device license is required for synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure.

EP3SL340F1760I3N vs EP3SL340F1760C4N - what is the difference?
EP3SL340F1760I3N is the industrial-temperature speed-grade 3 variant, while EP3SL340F1760C4N is the commercial-temperature speed-grade 4 (faster) variant in the same 1760-BGA package. Both share identical logic, memory, and I/O counts; they differ only in temperature range and speed grade. Per the Stratix III ordering information, speed grade 4 offers higher Fmax at the cost of power and temperature tolerance.
EP3SL340F1760I3N vs EP3SL340F1760I3 - what changed?
EP3SL340F1760I3N (lead-free, RoHS-compliant) and EP3SL340F1760I3 (non-N, possibly SnPb or non-RoHS variant) share the same Stratix III L die and 1760-BGA package. The N suffix denotes lead-free / RoHS compliance per the Altera/Intel ordering information. Functionally the parts are equivalent; the N variant is the modern ordering code mandated for RoHS markets.
What is the best drop-in replacement for EP3SL340F1760I3N?
There is no true drop-in FPGA replacement for EP3SL340F1760I3N because every FPGA family uses a unique package, ball-out, and bitstream format. The closest same-package, same-family variants are EP3SL340F1760C4N, EP3SL340F1760C4LN, EP3SL340F1760C4L, and EP3SL340F1760C4, all 1760-BGA in the Stratix III L family. For new designs Intel recommends migrating to Stratix V or Agilex with full PCB redesign.
Can EP3SL340F1760I3N be replaced by a Xilinx or Lattice part?
No, EP3SL340F1760I3N cannot be replaced by a Xilinx or Lattice part on the same PCB because each vendor uses a unique ball-out, package, and configuration bitstream. Cross-brand migration requires a full PCB redesign and a new toolchain (Quartus II is replaced by Vivado for Xilinx or Diamond/Radiant for Lattice). Lattice Semiconductor offers a more power-efficient mid-density ECP5 family if Stratix III L power is a concern.
What are the key specifications of EP3SL340F1760I3N that engineers should know?
Per Intel/Altera catalog data the EP3SL340F1760I3N integrates 337,500 logic elements, 13,500 LABs, 18,821,144 bits of embedded memory, and supports up to 1120 user I/O in a 1760-ball FC-FBGA package. The device operates from a 1.1 V core supply, is fabricated on a 65 nm CMOS process, and supports JTAG/serial/parallel configuration through Quartus II. Speed grade I3 with industrial temperature range is the headline ordering code.
What is the operating temperature range of EP3SL340F1760I3N?
The EP3SL340F1760I3N operates from -40C to +100C junction temperature (industrial grade). This is denoted by the I in the ordering code; commercial variants (C) operate from 0C to +85C. For military or extended-temperature applications, designers must select a different ordering code, and Intel's Stratix III L datasheet provides the full thermal envelope.
What design software is required for EP3SL340F1760I3N?
Per Intel's Stratix III product page, the EP3SL340F1760I3N is supported by Quartus II design software (legacy, version 13.x and earlier). Quartus II provides synthesis, place-and-route, timing closure, and bitstream generation. Newer Quartus Prime versions do not support Stratix III; engineers should use the legacy toolchain and verify support with Intel Premier Support before beginning a new project.
How does EP3SL340F1760I3N compare to Stratix V equivalents?
The Stratix V family delivers higher logic density, lower power (28 nm vs 65 nm process), and modern transceivers up to 28 Gbps, but it uses different packages and ball-outs, so migration requires PCB redesign. Designers targeting new production should move to Stratix V (5SGXEA7) or Agilex 7 FPGAs. For EP3SL340F1760I3N legacy maintenance, the part remains available from franchised distributors through the NRND period.
Hey Google, what can replace EP3SL340F1760I3N?
There is no drop-in replacement for EP3SL340F1760I3N because FPGAs have unique ball-outs. The same-family same-package alternatives are EP3SL340F1760C4N (commercial, faster speed grade), EP3SL340F1760C4LN, EP3SL340F1760C4L, and EP3SL340F1760C4.

Selection Guide

Choose EP3SL340F1760I3N when the design requires more than 200K logic elements, must operate from -40C to +100C, and is targeting the 1760-ball FC-FBGA package with maximum I/O. Choose EP3SL340F1760C4N if you need higher Fmax (speed grade 4) and the system stays in commercial temperature range. For new designs in 2026, Intel recommends migrating to Stratix V (e.g., 5SGXEA7H1F35C2N) or Agilex 7 because the Stratix III toolchain (Quartus II) is no longer actively maintained. EP3SL340F1760I3N remains the right choice only for legacy maintenance, defense programs with frozen toolchains, or design replicas where the Stratix III bitstream must be preserved. All eight same-package alternatives listed share the identical 1760-BGA ball-out, so PCB layout does not need to change when swapping within the family.

  • Industrial temperature qualification in 1760-BGA package (vs EP3SL340F1760C4N)

The Stratix III L family supports Programmable Power Technology that powers down unused LABs, DSP blocks, and memory regions to reduce dynamic power; however, the 65 nm process and 337.5K-LE density mean worst-case power dissipation can still exceed 10 W. Designers must provide adequate PCB copper pour under the 1760-BGA package and use a heatsink or heat-spreader for thermally constrained chassis. Always consult Intel's Stratix III L PowerPlay Early Power Estimator before final layout to size the thermal solution.

The 1760-ball FC-FBGA uses a 1.0 mm ball pitch and requires HDI PCB fabrication with micro-via stackups; standard 8-layer FR-4 with through-vias will not work. Use laser-drilled micro-vias for inner-row escape, follow-on vias for outer rows, and a controlled-impedance stackup for high-speed transceiver channels. All power rails (VCC, VCCPD, VCCIO per bank, VCCAUX, VCCPT) must be properly decoupled per Intel's Stratix III L pin connection guidelines, with bulk capacitors placed within 50 mils of the BGA balls.

Place the configuration EEPROM (EPCS) within 50 mm of the FPGA's MSEL/ASDATA pins and route the 4-wire AS configuration bus with 50 ohm controlled impedance. JTAG chain ordering must include all boundary-scan devices in series with TMS/TCK shared and TDI/TDO daisy-chained; add a 4.7 kohm pull-up on TCK per Intel's JTAG configuration user guide. For multi-FPGA designs, share the configuration clock across devices and verify setup/hold timing per the Stratix III L configuration handbook.

Do not assume Stratix III L bitstreams are forward-compatible with newer Quartus Prime releases; only legacy Quartus II (version 13.0sp1 and earlier with the Stratix III device support) can generate configuration bitstreams. Attempting to open a Stratix III project in Quartus Prime 18+ will fail without the legacy device support add-on. Verify the toolchain is installed before committing to the project, and archive the Quartus II license alongside the design files. For new designs, prefer Stratix V or Agilex with active toolchain support.
