EP3SE80F1152C3N
EP3SE80F1152C3N - Stratix III E FPGA, 80K LE, 1152-FBGA | Intel
The Intel (Altera) EP3SE80F1152C3N is a high-density, high-performance Stratix III E Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) integrating 80,000 logic elements, 6,843,392 bits of embedded memory, and 744 user I/O pins in a 1152-ball FineLine Ball-Grid Array (FBGA) package. Built on TSMC's 40 nm low-power process, the device combines abundant programmable logic, dedicated DSP blocks, and high-speed transceivers, targeting demanding digital signal processing, high-bandwidth communications, and ASIC-prototyping workloads.
A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a semiconductor integrated circuit built around an array of configurable logic blocks (CLBs), programmable interconnects, and dedicated hardware blocks such as block RAM, DSP slices, and serializer/deserializer (SerDes) transceivers. Within the broader taxonomy, the FPGA sits between general-purpose microcontrollers and full custom ASICs, offering hardware-level parallelism with field-reprogrammable bitstream configurability. Stratix III E devices extend the family with enhanced transceivers, partial reconfiguration support, and higher logic density per watt compared with prior Stratix generations.
Key features of the EP3SE80F1152C3N include 80,000 logic elements (LEs), 6,843,392 memory bits, 3,200 LABs/CLBs, 744 maximum user I/Os, and Stratix III E class transceiver support (per variant). The device supports up to 717 MHz internal operation and is offered in a commercial temperature grade (C3 speed/power corner). Embedded hard IP blocks for PCIe, DDR3 memory controllers, and multi-gigabit transceivers are integrated on-die, simplifying board design.
Architecturally, the Stratix III E family uses an adaptive logic module (ALM) of eight inputs plus dedicated carry, register, and LUT resources, enabling higher packing density than traditional 4-input LUT architectures. The hierarchical routing fabric and MultiTrack interconnect reduce congestion, while the MLAB (Memory Logic Array Block) allows distributed RAM to be sprinkled across the fabric for high-speed small-buffer use cases.
Typical applications include high-performance digital signal processing for wireless baseband, ASIC and ASIC-replacement prototyping, high-speed image and video processing pipelines, test and measurement instrumentation, and high-throughput data-acquisition systems. Designers also use Stratix III E devices in wireline backhaul, radar, and software-defined radio platforms where parallel processing is essential.
When designing with the EP3SE80F1152C3N, pay careful attention to the FBGA-1152 PCB land pattern, multi-rail decoupling strategy, and JTAG/AS configuration pin budgeting. Quartus II software (legacy) or Quartus Prime with the Stratix III device support is required for synthesis, place-and-route, and bitstream generation. Given the device's NRND/EOL status on some channels, confirm lifecycle status with authorized distributors before committing to new designs.
