Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package details. Confirm current lifecycle status as many Arria II devices are end-of-life. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting this legacy architecture before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Compare pin counts and I/O configurations against similar Arria II GX variants like the EP2AGX125EF35I5N. Evaluate thermal requirements for the 1152-ball FBGA package in the target enclosure. Verify that the available embedded memory meets system buffering needs without external RAM.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Arria II GX family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance and high-speed serial connectivity. It serves as a bridge between lower-end Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix families, offering a balance of logic density and transceiver capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Arria II GX parts with matching I/O counts such as EP2AGX125EF35I5N or EP2AGX125EF35C5G. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Cyclone V requires significant design re-verification.
