Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix E4X against official Altera documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics. Check for any customer advisories or known issues lists relevant to the Agilex 7 F-Series before finalizing design. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity level requirements during handling and storage.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combination of programmable logic and hard processor system is required. Consider the 1546-ball FBGA package size for board space constraints. Evaluate the 573K logic element count against design complexity. Confirm that the 1.4GHz operating frequency meets performance targets for the intended application workload.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Agilex 7 FPGA family, representing a generation of devices designed for advanced data center and edge computing applications. The F-Series specifically targets cost-sensitive yet high-performance markets. It succeeds previous generations like Arria 10, offering improved efficiency and integrated processor cores within a unified silicon die.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same package and functionality must be verified through official cross-reference tools. Alternative Agilex 7 parts with similar logic density may require pinout adaptation. Legacy replacements from Stratix 10 or Arria 10 families are not pin-compatible and necessitate full redesign.
