Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific speed grade suffix 'C5' against the official Stratix II Device Handbook ordering tables to confirm timing specifications. Ensure the 484-pin FineLine BGA package dimensions match the target PCB footprint. Confirm that the commercial temperature range aligns with the operational environment requirements before finalizing procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require approximately 34k logic elements and significant DSP resources within a compact 484-pin package. Consider vertical migration paths to EP2S15 or EP2S60 if future density adjustments are anticipated within the same package. Evaluate the -5 speed grade against timing constraints, noting that -3 offers higher frequencies but may not be available for all package variants.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix II family, which introduced Adaptive Logic Modules and TriMatrix memory to Altera's portfolio. It represents a mid-range density solution within the series, bridging the gap between lower-density devices like the EP2S15 and higher-density options like the EP2S60. The architecture emphasizes power efficiency and high-speed I/O capabilities for complex digital systems.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

For pin-compatible upgrades within the 484-pin package, consider the EP2S15F484C5 for lower density needs or the EP2S60F484C5 for increased resources. Verify that the migration path does not result in the loss of critical user I/O pins as detailed in the vertical migration tables.
