Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is designated as obsolete by the manufacturer. Verification of availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or surplus inventory. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives if required by the specific revision, noting that some sources indicate non-compliant status for certain suffixes.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this device for applications requiring moderate logic density with integrated high-speed serial connectivity. Verify pin compatibility when migrating between EP2SGX30C and EP2SGX30D variants, as they share the same I/O and power pinout but differ in transceiver count. Ensure design tools support the Stratix II architecture for configuration and timing analysis.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EP2SGX30CF780C5N belongs to the Stratix II GX family, which combines high-performance logic arrays with embedded high-speed transceivers. This family was designed to address bandwidth-intensive applications using a scalable 1.2-V architecture. The 'C' suffix typically denotes commercial temperature range, while 'F' indicates the 780-pin FBGA package.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this obsolete component. Designers may consider migration to newer Intel FPGA families such as Arria or Stratix series, though pinouts and architectures will require redesign.
