Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C7N against official datasheets to confirm the extended temperature range (-40°C to +100°C) and RoHS compliance status. Cross-reference the 484-FBGA package dimensions and pinout with the latest manufacturer documentation to ensure mechanical compatibility. Confirm lead times and availability through authorized distributors as standard delivery periods may vary.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when a Cyclone IV E FPGA with 15k logic elements and industrial temperature rating is required. Ensure the design fits within the 516 kbit memory limit and utilizes the 484-pin footprint. Compare against EP4CE15F23I7N if a different temperature grade or package variant is needed. Verify power supply requirements align with the 1.15V-1.25V core voltage specification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Cyclone IV E family, designed for cost-sensitive, medium-density applications. It shares architectural similarities with other EP4CE15 variants but differs in package and temperature specifications. The family supports advanced DSP functions and embedded memory blocks suitable for signal processing tasks.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

EP4CE15F23I7N offers similar logic density but may differ in temperature rating or package details. EP4CE15F17C7N provides the same logic count in a smaller 256-pin package. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution.
