EP2S30F484I5N - Stratix II FPGA 33,880 LE FC-FBGA-484 | Intel
The Intel (formerly Altera) EP2S30F484I5N is a Stratix II family Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) built on a 90 nm CMOS process and housed in a 484-ball Flip-Chip FineLine BGA (FC-FBGA-484) package. The device integrates 33,880 logic elements, supports a maximum internal operating frequency of approximately 609.76 MHz, and operates from a 1.2 V core supply. The 'I5' speed grade and 'N' suffix identify an industrial temperature range part with lead-free, RoHS-compliant terminations.
A Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a class of programmable logic device (PLD) within the broader integrated circuit taxonomy: FPGA -> programmable logic -> logic IC -> integrated circuit -> semiconductor. FPGAs combine configurable logic blocks (LCLBs / ALMs), programmable routing, embedded memory blocks (M4K/M512), DSP blocks, and high-speed I/O transceivers, allowing designers to implement custom digital signal processing, control, and interconnect functions that are re-programmable in-system. The Stratix II family specifically introduced the ALM (Adaptive Logic Module) architecture that improves logic packing efficiency over the original Stratix ALM-predecessor ALMs and made the family well-suited for ASIC prototyping and high-performance DSP.
Key features of the EP2S30F484I5N include 33,880 logic elements, 13,552 Adaptive Logic Modules (ALMs), up to 1,369,728 bits of embedded memory, dedicated DSP blocks for high-throughput multipliers, multi-gigabit transceiver support on equivalent package variants, and a flexible I/O structure supporting multiple single-ended and differential I/O standards including LVDS, LVTTL, LVCMOS, SSTL, and HSTL. The FC-FBGA-484 package exposes 484 balls in a fine-pitch array that supports high I/O count and short signal paths for high-speed designs.
Architecturally, Stratix II FPGAs use a 90 nm, 1.2 V CMOS process with 9-layer routing, dedicated on-chip termination (OCT), and a structured ASIC-like column-based DSP and memory layout. The internal TriMatrix memory subsystem supports three memory block sizes (M512, M4K, M-RAM) optimized for different buffer and lookup table applications. The 33,880-LE device sits in the mid-density tier of the Stratix II family (below EP2S60, EP2S90, EP2S130, EP2S180), making it appropriate for designs that need more capacity than Cyclone II but less than the largest Stratix II.
Typical applications include ASIC prototyping, high-speed digital signal processing, telecom baseband processing, video and image processing pipelines, military and aerospace signal processing, and industrial control systems. The -I5N industrial temperature grade (-40C to +100C ambient, +125C junction) supports designs that must operate in harsh thermal environments such as outdoor telecom, transportation, and defense systems.
When designing with the EP2S30F484I5N, plan the power distribution network carefully: Stratix II devices can exceed 20 W in high-utilization designs, requiring a multi-rail core and I/O supply with extensive decoupling. Use the Altera/Intel Quartus II design software (legacy versions support Stratix II) for synthesis, place-and-route, power analysis, and timing closure. Verify signal integrity on the FC-FBGA-484 footprint using controlled-impedance traces and matched-length routing, especially for DDR memory interfaces.
