Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This part number is officially marked as obsolete and no longer in production. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or confirmed substitute part numbers. Direct procurement from the manufacturer is not possible due to end-of-life status.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Designers requiring this specific logic density should consider the direct substitute EP3SE50F484C4G if available. Alternative selections must match the 484-pin FBGA footprint and 47,500 LE capacity while ensuring compatibility with the 0.86V–1.15V supply voltage requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EP3SE50F484C4N belongs to the Stratix III E family, designed for high-density logic applications. It shares architectural similarities with other EP3SE50 variants but differs in temperature grade and suffix codes. The 'C4' designation typically indicates commercial temperature range and specific manufacturing revision.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

The EP3SE50F484C4G is listed as a direct substitute. Verify pinout and electrical specifications against the original datasheet before integration.
