Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be end-of-life. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to soldering. Check for available datasheet revisions to ensure design compatibility with current manufacturing processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high-density logic with significant embedded memory resources. Ensure the 240-pin PQFP package fits the board layout constraints. Verify that the 1.8 V core voltage and supported I/O standards match the system requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera APEX 20K family, which was among the first PLDs to incorporate system-on-a-programmable-chip integration. The EP20K200 variant offers 8,320 LEs and 52 ESBs, balancing logic density with memory capacity for complex digital applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official replacement guides for legacy Altera devices. Modern Intel/Altera families such as Cyclone or Stratix may offer functional equivalents but require architectural adaptation and software migration.
