Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to assembly planning. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed to prevent electrostatic discharge damage during storage and installation processes.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements exceed Cyclone III capabilities but do not necessitate the full Stratix III performance tier. Evaluate memory needs against the 2.08 Mbit limit and ensure thermal management solutions accommodate the power dissipation characteristics of the 484-pin FBGA package under maximum load conditions.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera Stratix III L series, which offers a balance between performance and cost compared to the higher-end Stratix III devices. It shares the same 484-pin footprint as other variants in the family, facilitating pin-compatible upgrades or downgrades within specific design constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include other Stratix III L variants with different speed grades or temperature ranges, such as EP3SL50F484I4N. Verify electrical specifications and timing parameters before substitution.
