Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3N' against official datasheets to confirm it denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and lead-free status. Confirm availability as this part may be discontinued or subject to long lead times. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 1517-ball FBGA package before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 337,500 logic elements and 17.95 Mbit memory are required. Compare with EP3SL340F1517I3G if green packaging certification is mandatory. Verify that the 976 I/O count meets interface requirements. Consider power consumption profiles relative to the 1.2V to 3.3V operating range during system design.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix III family, which succeeded earlier generations like Stratix II. It offers enhanced performance through adaptive logic modules compared to traditional LUT-based architectures. The F1517 package provides a high pin count suitable for dense board designs. The 'I' suffix typically indicates industrial temperature rating.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include EP3SL340F1517I3G, which shares identical electrical specifications but may differ in environmental compliance markings. Cross-family upgrades to Stratix IV or V require significant redesign due to architectural differences.
