Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to legacy status. Confirm date codes and packaging integrity upon receipt. Check for RoHS compliance documentation relevant to the specific manufacturing batch. Ensure storage conditions adhere to moisture sensitivity level requirements before reflow soldering.

Selection Notes

Evaluate design requirements against the 3,987 logic element capacity and 1.9 Mbit memory limits. Verify I/O count compatibility with the 720 available pins in the 1020-pin package. Assess power supply constraints to ensure alignment with the 1.1 V to 1.25 V core voltage specification. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the FineLine BGA form factor.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix II family, representing a mid-density solution within Altera's portfolio during its production lifecycle. It succeeded earlier Stratix generations by offering improved performance per watt and enhanced embedded processing capabilities. The device serves as a bridge between high-end Stratix III/IV offerings and lower-density Cyclone families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this discontinued part. Designers should evaluate migration paths to Agilex, Stratix 10, or Cyclone 10 LP families based on resource requirements. Re-design may be necessary due to architectural differences and software toolchain updates.
