Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Verification of availability should focus on secondary market distributors or surplus inventory providers rather than direct OEM channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) prior to procurement, as legacy components may have specific handling requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part for designs requiring high logic density within the Stratix family. Ensure the PCB layout accommodates the 780-ball FBGA footprint. Verify that the power delivery network supports the 1.425 V to 1.575 V core voltage range. Consider pinout compatibility if replacing older Stratix devices.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EP1S20 belongs to the original Stratix family, representing an early generation of high-density FPGAs from Altera. It serves as a predecessor to later Stratix II and IV series. The 'F780' suffix denotes the 780-ball FineLine BGA package, while 'C5' indicates the commercial temperature grade and speed bin.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the obsolete status, engineering change orders should evaluate migration paths to modern Intel/Altera families such as Arria or Cyclone, considering pin-to-pin or board-level redesign requirements.
