EP2S130F1508C3
EP2S130F1508C3 - 132K LE Stratix II FPGA, 1508-FCBGA | Intel
The Intel (Altera) EP2S130F1508C3 is a high-density Stratix II family Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) delivering 132,540 logic elements, 6,747,840 bits of embedded memory, and a 1,126-bit maximum user I/O count, housed in a 1,508-ball FineLine BGA (FC-BGA) package on a 90 nm process node. It targets designers building high-throughput digital signal processing, telecom datapath, and high-speed serial I/O systems that need a single-chip implementation of multi-gigabit interfaces and parallel processing pipelines.
What is an FPGA? A Field Programmable Gate Array is a programmable logic device that combines configurable logic blocks, programmable interconnect, dedicated memory, and hardened IP such as transceivers, PLLs, and DSP blocks. An FPGA is a type of programmable logic device (PLD), which itself belongs to the broader category of logic ICs within digital integrated circuits. Unlike an ASIC, the FPGA's function is defined after manufacture by loading a configuration bitstream into on-chip SRAM, allowing rapid design iteration and field upgrades.
Key features of the EP2S130F1508C3 include up to 6.3 Gbps transceiver support (Stratix II GX block, on related devices), dedicated DSP blocks for high-speed multiply-accumulate, TriMatrix embedded memory supporting true dual-port RAM, ROM, and FIFO modes, and eight Fast PLLs plus four Enhanced PLLs. The 90 nm process enables a typical core voltage of 1.2 V with low static and dynamic power, and the 1,508-pin FC-BGA package supports the 1,126 user I/O count via an industrial-standard footprint.
The architecture uses adaptive logic modules (ALMs) that combine 8-input fracturable look-up tables, adders, and registers, giving designers higher effective logic density per LE compared to previous generations. The dedicated DSP blocks deliver up to 3.6 GMACS at 250 MHz, and the TriMatrix memory delivers 6+ Tbps of aggregate memory bandwidth when fully utilized. Configuration is via passive serial, fast passive parallel, or JTAG.
Typical applications include high-end telecommunications line cards, baseband processing for wireless base stations, high-definition video broadcast equipment, military signal intelligence, ASIC prototyping, and high-performance compute accelerators. The 1,126 I/O count makes it well suited for memory-intensive designs interfacing DDR2 SDRAM, QDRII SRAM, and RLDRAM II.
Design consideration: Stratix II devices require a 1.2 V core supply and a 3.3 V/2.5 V/1.8 V I/O supply; the Quartus II design software is required for synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation. Multi-voltage I/O banks allow mixing of standards (LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, HSTL, LVDS) on a single die. The FC-BGA package requires a high-layer-count PCB with matched-impedance routing and a 1.0 mm or finer ball pitch.
