Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the component status as this specific part number may be discontinued or restricted. Confirm that the ordering suffix 'I4N' corresponds to the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and lead-free packaging specifications defined in the official datasheet. Ensure compatibility with legacy design tools if migrating existing projects.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this device when requiring 16 transceiver channels within the Stratix II GX architecture. Compare against the EP2SGX60E for lower channel counts or the EP2SGX130G for higher density. Verify that the 1,508-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Ensure the design utilizes the 1.2V core voltage requirements specified for the Stratix II family.

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 serial transceivers with a scalable logic array. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of embedded transceivers with CDR technology. The '90' in the model name denotes the approximate logic density tier within the series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Migration within the same package typically requires cross-referencing I/O pinouts for vertical migration to other Stratix II GX densities such as the EP2SGX60F or EP2SGX130G.
