Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C8' confirms the commercial temperature range and 1.0V core voltage requirements. Confirm the 484-ball FBGA footprint matches the target PCB design. Check for export compliance documentation as this item may require additional files for shipment from the United States due to encryption regulations.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 28K logic resources are sufficient but higher-end Stratix devices are unnecessary. Ensure the design utilizes the 1.0V power domain effectively to leverage the family's low-power advantages. Consider the 200 MHz speed grade if high-frequency digital logic is required without resorting to faster, more expensive variants.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone IV E family, which extends the legacy Cyclone series with enhanced performance and lower power consumption. It shares the same silicon die as the EP4CE40 series, allowing for potential resource scaling in some contexts, though pin compatibility varies. It serves as a bridge between entry-level and mid-range programmable logic solutions.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitutes include other Cyclone IV E variants such as EP4CE30F23C8 or EP4CE40F23C8N, provided the pinout and package dimensions remain identical. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 484-FBGA form factor and electrical specifications.
