Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity due to potential obsolescence status. Confirm RoHS compliance markings on physical units, as older batches may differ from current standards. Check humidity sensitivity level requirements prior to soldering to prevent moisture-induced damage during reflow processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model when specific APEX 20KE performance characteristics are required. Ensure design compatibility with the 2.5 V core voltage domain. Verify that the 672-pin FBGA footprint matches existing PCB layout constraints and thermal management capabilities.

Part Context

This component is part of the APEX 20K family, representing a generation of high-density FPGAs designed for complex logic applications. It succeeded earlier Flex series devices and offered enhanced performance through improved LAB architecture and higher I/O counts compared to predecessors like the EPF10K series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this specific obsolete part number. System upgrades typically require redesigning the FPGA logic and potentially modifying the PCB layout to accommodate newer technology nodes or different package types.
