Multiple PLLs and flexible clock routing

Broad I/O support: LVTTL, LVCMOS, LVDS, HSTL, SSTL and more

Multiple configuration modes: JTAG, Active Serial, Passive Serial, and others

Lead-free and RoHS compliant (suffix N)

Key Advantages

Fast time to market with reconfigurable hardware

Stable performance across industrial temperature

Mature toolchain support with Intel Quartus

Scales well from prototyping to volume production

Long field history and proven reliability

Wide ecosystem of IP cores and reference designs

Packaging

Shipping type: Tray, dry-packed and vacuum sealed with desiccant

Package style: FineLine BGA, code F484

Ball count and pitch: 484 balls, 1.0 mm pitch (typical for F484)

Body size: approximately 23 mm x 23 mm (F484 class)

Materials and compliance: Pb-free, RoHS compliant (N suffix)

Moisture sensitivity: MSL 3 typical for large BGA devices; follow label handling instructions

Soldering profile: Pb-free reflow up to 260°C per JEDEC guidelines

Pin configuration: Multiple I/O banks with dedicated configuration, clock, JTAG, and power pins following Intel pinout for F484

Thermal characteristics: Industrial temperature range −40°C to +100°C case; actual thermal resistance depends on board, airflow, and heatsinking

Electrical properties: Core voltage typically 1.2 V for Stratix II; I/O banks support common standards at 1.5 V, 1.8 V, 2.5 V, and 3.3 V; LVDS differential pairs supported; multiple on‑chip PLLs for clock generation and jitter filtering

Lifecycle

Status: Mature family. In many programs Stratix II devices are not recommended for new designs. Plan for lifecycle risk and verify latest PCN and EOL notices from Intel.

Direct, same-package variants to consider (verify pinout and timing in the datasheet):

- EP2S15F484C5N (commercial temperature, same package and density)

- EP2S15F484I4N (industrial temperature, faster speed grade)

- EP2S15F484C4N (commercial temperature, faster speed grade)

Same-family, different-package or density options (not pin-compatible, functional alternatives):

- EP2S15 devices in other BGA footprints (for example, F672 variants)

- Larger Stratix II densities for headroom, depending on board constraints

Migration families for new designs (not pin-compatible, evaluate redesign):

- Intel Stratix III, Stratix IV, Stratix V

- Intel Arria series (depending on performance and transceiver needs)
