EP2S60F1020C3 Présentation
A field-programmable gate array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnects, and dedicated hard IP blocks such as DSP slices, block RAM, transceivers, and PLLs. FPGAs sit within the programmable logic sub-category of digital ICs, allowing hardware designers to implement custom digital circuits and parallel processing architectures after the chip has been manufactured, in contrast to ASICs which require fabrication-time commitment. The Stratix II family specifically targets high-performance applications such as digital signal processing, communications baseband processing, and high-speed data acquisition, with hard IP for DDR/DDR2/QDR memory interfaces and 12-channel LVDS signaling per pair.
Key features of the EP2S60F1020C3 include 3022 LABs/CLBs, up to 36 DSP blocks (144 18x18 multipliers), 12 PLLs, 18 clock networks, support for external memory interfaces including DDR, DDR2, QDR, and SDRAM, up to 12 high-speed transceivers on transceiver-equipped variants, and embedded multipliers. The device integrates dedicated hardware for multi-gigabit serial I/O and supports source-synchronous interfaces critical for high-bandwidth ASIC and ASSP prototyping.
Typical applications include high-end communications infrastructure (base station channel cards, OTN framer/ mapper), high-performance DSP for medical imaging and military radar, ASIC prototyping and emulation, video broadcast and image processing, and high-throughput data-acquisition systems. The combination of 60K LEs, 2.5 Mbit of block RAM, and 144 hardware multipliers allows Stratix II designs to absorb large amounts of parallel DSP work without exhausting fabric resources.
When designing with the EP2S60F1020C3, ensure that the 1.2 V core rail, 3.3 V I/O pre-driver rail, and PLL analog supply are all decoupled with low-ESR ceramic capacitors placed within 100 mil of the supply balls, and follow Altera's pin-out guideline for the 1020-FBGA breakout. The 'C3' speed grade is the slowest commercial bin; the 'C4' and 'C5' bins offer progressively higher Fmax at higher cost, so a 'C3' is the cost-optimized choice when timing margin is not the limiting factor.

Applications typiques
EP2S60F1020C3 convient pour 6 applications: ASIC Prototyping and Emulation, Communications Infrastructure (Baseband / Framer), High-Performance Digital Signal Processing, Video Broadcast and Image Processing, Medical Imaging Accelerator, Industrial Test and Measurement Instrumentation.
ASIC Prototyping and Emulation
The EP2S60F1020C3 fits ASIC prototyping because its 60,440 logic elements, 2.5 Mbit of embedded block RAM, and 144 hardware 18x18 multipliers together provide enough capacity to absorb mid-complexity ASIC RTL running at near-real-time speeds. The 1020-ball FC-FBGA package with 718 user I/Os supports large pin-count prototyping, including the many debug probes, JTAG chains, and external memory buses typical of an ASIC bring-up. In a typical ASIC prototyping flow, engineers partition the ASIC RTL into the EP2S60's Stratix II fabric, map the I/Os to the target package, and run verification at FPGA-accelerated clock rates before committing to silicon. The 1.2 V core and C3 commercial speed grade keep prototyping power and thermal envelopes manageable on standard lab bench setups.
Recommandé
Communications Infrastructure (Baseband / Framer)
The EP2S60F1020C3 fits communications infrastructure designs because its combination of 12 PLLs, 18 global clock networks, and Stratix II's hard LVDS and external memory interface IP enables multi-channel baseband processing and OTN framer/mapper implementations. The 718 user I/Os and 12.5 Gbps-capable transceiver-ready routing (when paired with the EP2S60F1020C3N) give designers the headroom to fan out multiple SFP/QSFP ports and parallel backplane lanes. Designers typically place a Stratix II between a network processor and a SERDES, running channel coding, framing, and packet classification on the FPGA fabric. The 60K LEs comfortably handle one to four channels of 10G OTU2 framer/mapper with FEC.
Recommandé
High-Performance Digital Signal Processing
The EP2S60F1020C3 fits high-performance DSP applications because its 36 dedicated DSP blocks deliver 144 18x18 multipliers running at up to 450 MHz in the C3 speed grade, equivalent to roughly 64 GMACs of multiply-accumulate throughput. The 2.5 Mbit of block RAM provides the data and coefficient storage required for FIR filters, FFTs, and matrix multipliers without consuming fabric logic. In a typical radar or software-defined radio DSP pipeline, the Stratix II handles pulse compression, channelization, and beamforming where the multiplier density is the throughput bottleneck. The 1020-BGA package's thermal envelope supports continuous high-utilization DSP workloads on a properly heatsinked board.
Recommandé
Video Broadcast and Image Processing
The EP2S60F1020C3 fits video broadcast and image processing designs because its 60K LEs and 2.5 Mbit of block RAM absorb multi-stream HD-SDI processing pipelines including scaling, deinterlacing, and color-space conversion. The 718 user I/Os and dedicated LVDS serializers support direct connection to multiple HD-SDI/3G-SDI serializers and parallel video ADCs/DACs. The 12 PLLs generate the multiple pixel clock domains required for video frame buffers, while the external memory interface IP supports DDR2 frame-store memory with sustained bandwidth above 4 Gbps. The C3 commercial speed grade is sufficient for standard-definition and HD workflows; the C5 grade is recommended for 4K pipelines.
Recommandé
Medical Imaging Accelerator
The EP2S60F1020C3 fits medical imaging accelerator cards because its 144 hardware 18x18 multipliers and abundant block RAM accelerate 2D/3D image reconstruction kernels such as filtered back-projection and iterative reconstruction, with the C3 commercial speed grade sufficient for CT and MRI preprocessing. The 718 user I/Os accommodate high-bandwidth front-end interfaces to ultrasound transducers or to high-speed CMOS image sensors, and the 12 PLLs generate the multiple sample-rate clocks required by beamforming. In a typical ultrasound beamformer the Stratix II performs apodization, dynamic focus, and digital down-conversion for 64 to 128 channels in real time.
Recommandé
Industrial Test and Measurement Instrumentation
The EP2S60F1020C3 fits high-end industrial test and measurement instrumentation because its 60K LEs and 2.5 Mbit of block RAM support custom triggering, deep memory buffering, and protocol decoding for oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers. The 12 PLLs provide the multiple sample-clock domains needed to capture and resample high-speed serial protocols, and the 718 user I/Os route raw data to external display and storage subsystems. The C3 commercial speed grade is well-suited to laboratory temperature ranges, while the I4 industrial grade (EP2S60F1020I4) is the drop-in pin-compatible option for factory-floor deployment. Designers typically pair the Stratix II with high-speed ADCs and use the embedded multipliers for on-FPGA FFT and channel math.

Principaux différenciateurs
- Lowest-cost commercial speed grade for Stratix II 60K LE family (vs EP2S60F1020C5N)
- Highest logic density in a 60K-LE-class 1020-BGA footprint (vs EP2S180F1508C3N)

Notes de conception
The EP2S60F1020C3 requires four power rails: VCCINT (1.2 V core), VCCIO (1.5/1.8/2.5/3.3 V per bank, I/O pre-driver), VCCPD (3.3 V pre-driver), and VCCA_PLL (1.2 V analog PLL supply). Use a low-dropout regulator with at least 5 A headroom for VCCINT, a separate 1.2 V LDO filtered through a ferrite bead for the PLL analog supply, and bulk decoupling of 4x 220 uF polymer plus 10x 100 nF ceramic per supply ball group. Sequencing is critical: VCCINT must rise before VCCPD; consult the Stratix II handbook power-up sequencing diagram for the exact sequence.
The 1020-ball FC-FBGA uses a 1.0 mm ball pitch on a 33 x 33 mm body; PCB breakout requires a 4-6 layer stackup with HDI microvias (8-12 mil laser-drilled) and 4-mil trace/space rules on the inner layers. Route differential pairs (LVDS) with 100-ohm differential impedance and length-matching within 10 mil. Place all configuration components (EPCS serial flash, MSEL resistors, JTAG header) on the same board side, within 2 inches of the device to avoid signal-integrity issues during configuration.
Estimated: at typical Stratix II utilization of 60-70% with 50% toggle rate, the EP2S60F1020C3 dissipates approximately 6-10 W. The 1020-BGA package theta_JA is around 8-10 C/W on a 12-layer JEDEC test board with airflow, rising to 15-20 C/W in a sealed enclosure. A heatsink with thermal interface material is recommended for industrial-grade deployment (EP2S60F1020I4 variant), and the PCB should have at least 4 thermal via arrays under the central ground balls of the BGA to conduct heat to the inner copper planes.
Do not confuse the EP2S60F1020C3 with the EP2S60F672 (672-ball package, fewer I/Os, different pinout) or the EP2S60F484 (484-ball package, fewer I/Os and slightly different ball map) - these are NOT pin-compatible. Also avoid the EP2S60F1020C3 vs the EP2S60F1020I3/4 industrial grades for production runs - the I-grade parts are harder to source. Finally, confirm the Quartus II fitter reports timing closure BEFORE ordering production PCBs; the C3 speed grade is the slowest and timing closure can fail if your design has aggressive clock frequencies.
The configuration mode pins MSEL[3:0] must be tied to specific logic levels via 1 kohm pull-ups or pull-downs to select passive-serial, fast-passive-parallel, active-serial, or JTAG configuration; see the Stratix II Configuration Handbook for the exact encoding. The nCONFIG pin should be pulled to VCCPD through a 10 kohm resistor and exposed to a pushbutton or external supervisor for manual reconfiguration. The dedicated JTAG pins (TCK, TMS, TDI, TDO) should be accessible on a 10-pin or 14-pin header for boundary-scan and programming.
