Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I4N' against official documentation to confirm the industrial temperature range specification. Ensure compatibility with the 1,508-pin FBGA package dimensions. Confirm that the design utilizes the correct voltage levels for the 1.2-V logic array and transceiver interfaces as defined in the DC characteristics.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this device when designs require high-density logic combined with significant serial bandwidth. The EP2SGX130G variant offers 20 transceivers, suitable for applications needing multiple high-speed lanes. Consider the vertical migration options within the 1,508-pin package if future scalability is required. Evaluate power consumption requirements given the high performance of the 6.375 Gbps transceivers.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix II GX family, which integrates high-speed serial transceivers with a scalable logic array. The 'GX' designation specifically refers to the inclusion of these advanced transceiver blocks. The EP2SGX130 represents a mid-to-high density option within this family, balancing logic resources with extensive serial connectivity capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Vertical migration within the same 1,508-pin package allows substitution with other EP2SGX130 variants (e.g., different speed grades or temperature ranges) provided pinout compatibility is verified. Cross-family migration requires careful review of architecture differences and pin assignments.
