Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be discontinued. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times with suppliers prior to ordering. Ensure design files are compatible with legacy development tools such as MAX+PLUS II or Quartus II for successful compilation and configuration.

Selection Notes

Select the -2 speed grade for specific timing requirements compared to -1 or -3 grades. Ensure the 484-pin FBGA package fits the PCB footprint constraints. Verify that the 2.5-V core voltage aligns with the system power design and that MultiVolt I/O levels match connected peripherals.

Part Context

This component is part of the Altera ACEX 1K series, designed for cost-efficient, high-volume applications. It combines LUT-based logic with embedded memory arrays to provide system-on-a-programmable-chip integration. The family targets applications requiring moderate logic density with flexible memory resources.

Replacement Considerations

Check for pin-compatible upgrades within the ACEX 1K family, such as the EP1K50FI484-2, noting differences in I/O count and logic resources. Consider newer Intel FPGA families for long-term support, though architectural differences require full design migration.
