EP1S30B956C6 - Stratix 32K LE FPGA, 956-BGA, 130nm | Altera
The Altera EP1S30B956C6 is a member of the original Stratix FPGA family, fabricated on a 130 nm CMOS process and housed in a 956-ball FineLine BGA (FCBGA, 40 x 40 mm, 1.27 mm pitch) package. It integrates 32,470 logic elements (LEs), 3,317,184 bits of embedded RAM, and 683 user I/O pins, and is specified for the 0 to 85 C commercial operating range. The suffix C6 indicates the device speed grade and the C designator places the part in the commercial temperature class.
An FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) is a programmable logic device built from an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs / LEs), embedded memory blocks, DSP blocks, and programmable interconnect, all controlled by SRAM-based configuration memory. Within the broader taxonomy, FPGA belongs to programmable logic, which sits alongside ASICs and CPLDs in the digital semiconductor hierarchy. The Stratix family introduced dedicated TriMatrix embedded memory, DSP blocks, and high-speed I/O to FPGAs, making them suitable for DSP, communications, and high-throughput data-path applications that previously required custom ASICs.
Key features of the EP1S30B956C6 include 32,470 LEs organized into 3,247 LABs, 3.4 Mbits of TriMatrix memory distributed across MRAM/M4K/M512 blocks, dedicated DSP blocks for fixed-point multiplication and accumulation, and support for multiple I/O standards including LVDS, LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, and HSTL. The device also integrates up to 12 PLLs for clock management and supports the Altera Passive Parallel (PP), Passive Serial (PS), and JTAG configuration modes via dedicated configuration pins.
At the architecture level, the Stratix die combines a row/column interconnect fabric with embedded memory columns and DSP columns, allowing designers to trade off logic, memory, and DSP resources per design. The 130 nm process node at 1.5 V core (VCCINT) provides a balance of static and dynamic power, while the C6 speed grade targets an internal operating frequency up to 450.05 MHz as published in the Stratix family datasheet. Configuration data is stored in an external configuration device (EPCS/EPC) or downloaded through JTAG, after which the device operates standalone with optional in-system reconfiguration.
Typical applications include high-speed digital signal processing (filtering, FFT engines), telecommunications backplane protocol bridging, video and image processing pipelines, industrial control and test instrumentation, and ASIC prototyping for high-density logic designs. Designers often pair the EP1S30B956C6 with EPCS64 configuration memories and Altera Quartus II design software for synthesis, place-and-route, and timing closure.
When designing with this device, carefully plan the 956-ball FCBGA escape routing, allocate sufficient PCB layers (typically 8+ layers with microvia or via-in-pad capability), and verify thermal management - the 130 nm Stratix family can dissipate several watts under typical workloads. Designers migrating to newer device families should treat the EP1S30B956C6 as NRND/EOL and evaluate Stratix II/III/IV or Cyclone IV/E families for new designs.
