Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'G' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm RoHS compliance status, as suffixes can indicate environmental certifications. Confirm availability through authorized distributors, noting that older Stratix III devices may have limited stock or end-of-life implications. Ensure the FBGA-1152 package compatibility with your PCB footprint before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and high I/O count is required for Stratix III applications. Compare against EP3SL200 variants if lower resource usage suffices, or EP3SE260C-series variants if commercial temperature grades are acceptable. Verify that the 1152-pin package fits the mechanical constraints of the target design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix III family, designed for mid-to-high-end FPGA applications prior to the introduction of Stratix IV and V series. It utilizes advanced process technology to deliver high performance per watt. The EP3SE260 designation indicates the specific logic and memory capacity within the Stratix III portfolio.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are not publicly documented for this specific legacy part number. Consider Intel/Altera Stratix IV or V series FPGAs for modern equivalents, though these require redesign due to architectural differences. Consult official substitution guides for functional upgrades rather than direct swaps.
