Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or original manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required temperature grade and package variant. Check for moisture sensitivity level compliance during storage and handling. Ensure design files are compatible with the Stratix II GX device family specifications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when eight transceiver channels and approximately 34K logic elements are required. Verify that the 780-pin FBGA footprint fits the target PCB layout. Ensure the design utilizes the 1.2V core voltage domain. Consider vertical migration options within the Stratix II GX family if pin compatibility is needed for future upgrades.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix II GX family, which combines high-speed serial transceivers with a scalable logic array. The EP2SGX30 represents a mid-range density option within the 780-pin package category, offering a balance between transceiver count and logic resources for communication and networking designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Vertical migration within the Stratix II GX family allows substitution with other devices sharing the same package and pinout, such as the EP2SGX30C or EP2SGX60 variants, provided I/O pin constraints are verified.
