Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment prior to installation. Ensure static protection measures are in place during handling. Validate design compatibility with existing board layouts and power delivery networks before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 8,320 logic elements and 136 I/Os are required within a 208-pin form factor. The 1.8V specification necessitates compatible voltage levels for all connected peripherals. Consider the 170 MHz speed grade against timing requirements of the target application logic.

Part Context

This component is part of the APEX 20K series, representing a high-performance FPGA generation from Altera. It succeeded earlier FLEX and ACEX families, offering greater density and faster speeds. The EP20K200 variant specifically targets designs requiring moderate-to-high logic capacity with flexible I/O configurations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements may not exist due to architectural differences. Evaluate newer Altera families such as Cyclone or Arria for functional equivalents, ensuring logical resource counts and I/O standards match the original design constraints.
