Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or original manufacturer channels. Confirm the specific suffix 'C4N' corresponds to the required speed grade and commercial temperature range. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and reflow soldering processes.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 12 transceiver channels are required within a 1,152-pin footprint. Ensure design compatibility with the 1.2-V core voltage domain. Verify that the 60,440 LE capacity meets logic density requirements compared to the EP2SGX30 or EP2SGX90 variants.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix II GX family, representing Altera's third-generation FPGA line combining high-speed transceivers with scalable logic arrays. It utilizes a 130-nm process technology. The device supports vertical migration within the same package type across different densities in the series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

EP2SGX60DF1152C4N: Different pinout configuration; requires schematic review. EP2SGX60CF1152C4N: Fewer transceiver channels; verify bandwidth needs. EP2SGX90EF1152C4N: Higher logic density; check pin compatibility.
