Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official manufacturer documentation, as alphanumeric codes often denote specific package variants, temperature ranges, or compliance levels. Confirm availability status, as older FPGA families may have limited stock or end-of-life implications. Ensure compatibility with existing programming tools and configuration methods before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring the specific gate count and I/O flexibility of the FLEX 10KE series. Consider the 2.5-V core voltage requirement and the need for external configuration devices if in-circuit reconfigurability is desired. Evaluate the BGA-356 package constraints regarding PCB layout and thermal management compared to alternative pin counts.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera FLEX 10KE family, which represents an enhanced version of the earlier FLEX 10K devices. The family is characterized by its ability to integrate entire systems, including specialized logic functions and efficient memory implementations, into a single chip using advanced CMOS processes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are not explicitly listed in public data. Consider other members of the FLEX 10KE family with similar gate counts or I/O configurations. For modern equivalents, evaluate Intel MAX 10 or Agilex series FPGAs, ensuring functional compatibility and pin-out adjustments are addressed.
