Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3' against official datasheets to confirm it denotes the commercial temperature grade variant. Confirm availability status as distribution channels may list this part as obsolete or limited stock. Ensure RoHS compliance documentation matches the manufacturing date code required for the project.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 8,000 ALMs are required in an FBGA-1152 form factor. Compare total embedded memory capacity against application needs. Verify that the 1.2V to 3.3V power supply requirements align with the system design. Check pinout compatibility if replacing existing designs.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix III family, positioned between lower-density Cyclone devices and higher-end Stratix IV models. It serves as a mid-range solution for applications needing substantial logic density without the cost of top-tier FPGAs. The 'EP3SE' prefix indicates the Stratix III Enhanced series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include EP3SE260F1152I3G for RoHS-compliant versions. For non-RoHS requirements, EP3SE260F1152I3N is available. Upgrades may involve Stratix IV devices for increased performance.
