1. Stratix III Device Family Overview
SIII51001-1.8
The Stratix
®
III family provides one of the most architecturally advanced,
high-performance, low-power FPGAs in the marketplace.
Stratix III FPGAs lower power consumption through Altera’s innovative
Programmable Power Technology, which provides the ability to turn on the
performance where needed and turn down the power consumption for blocks not in
use. Selectable Core Voltage and the latest in silicon process optimizations are also
employed to deliver the industry’s lowest power, high-performance FPGAs.
Specifically designed for ease of use and rapid system integration, the Stratix III
FPGA family offers two variants optimized to meet different application needs:
■
The Stratix III
L
family provides balanced logic, memory, and multiplier ratios for
mainstream applications.
The Stratix III
E
family is memory- and multiplier-rich for data-centric
applications.
■
Modular I/O banks with a common bank structure for vertical migration lend
efficiency and flexibility to the high-speed I/O. Package and die enhancements with
dynamic on-chip termination, output delay, and current strength control provide
best-in-class signal integrity.
Based on a 1.1-V, 65-nm all-layer copper SRAM process, the Stratix III family is a
programmable alternative to custom ASICs and programmable processors for
high-performance logic, digital signal processing (DSP), and embedded designs.
Stratix III devices include optional configuration bit stream security through volatile
or non-volatile 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. Where
ultra-high reliability is required, Stratix III devices include automatic error detection
circuitry to detect data corruption by soft errors in the configuration random-access
memory (CRAM) and user memory cells.
Features Summary
Stratix III devices offer the following features:
■
■
48,000 to 338,000 equivalent logic elements (LEs) ( refer to
Table 1–1)
2,430 to 20,497 Kbits of enhanced TriMatrix memory consisting of three RAM
block sizes to implement true dual-port memory and FIFO buffers
High-speed DSP blocks provide dedicated implementation of 9×9, 12×12, 18×18,
and 36×36 multipliers (at up to 550 MHz), multiply-accumulate functions, and
finite impulse response (FIR) filters
I/O:GND:PWR ratio of 8:1:1 along with on-die and on-package decoupling for
robust signal integrity
Programmable Power Technology, which minimizes power while maximizing
device performance

The Stratix III logic family (L) offers balanced logic, memory, and multipliers to
address a wide range of applications, while the enhanced family (E) offers more
memory and multipliers per logic and is ideal for wireless, medical imaging, and
military applications.
Stratix III devices are available in space-saving FineLine BGA (FBGA) packages (refer
to
Table 1–2
and
Table 1–3).

All Stratix III devices support vertical migration within the same package (for
example, you can migrate between the EP3SL50 and EP3SL70 devices in the 780-pin
FineLine BGA package). Vertical migration allows you to migrate to devices whose
dedicated pins, configuration pins, and power pins are the same for a given package
across device densities.
To ensure that a board layout supports migratable densities within one package
offering, enable the applicable vertical migration path within the Quartus
®
II
software. On the Assignments menu, point to
Device
and click
Migration Devices.
You can migrate from the
L
family to the
E
family without increasing the number of
LEs available. This minimizes the cost of vertical migration.

Stratix III devices are available in up to three speed grades: –2, –3, and –4, with –2
being the fastest. Stratix III devices are offered in both commercial and industrial
temperature range ratings with leaded and lead-free packages. Selectable Core
Voltage is available in specially marked low-voltage devices (L ordering code suffix).
