Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering code suffix against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package type and speed grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or Intel sales representatives prior to procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements include approximately 40k logic resources and significant embedded memory. Ensure the 256-ball LBGA footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Verify that the commercial temperature range (0°C to +85°C) meets the operational environment specifications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel MAX® 10 family, which bridges the gap between complex FPGAs and simple CPLDs. It is designed for cost-sensitive, low-power applications where non-vatility and analog integration are critical. It serves as a successor to older MAX/V series devices in mid-range logic applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package and speed grade should be verified via official cross-reference tools. Upgrading to higher-density MAX 10 variants may require schematic adjustments due to resource differences.
