Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is officially classified as obsolete and no longer in active manufacturing. Verification of availability requires checking secondary market distributors or surplus inventory providers. Buyers must confirm the specific suffix 'N' against official datasheets to ensure compliance with RoHS directives, as standard versions may differ. Lead times are variable due to the end-of-life status.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Designers should evaluate the EP4S100G3F45I2N primarily for legacy system maintenance or repair scenarios where pin compatibility is critical. New designs should consider modern replacements within the Intel FPGA portfolio that offer improved power efficiency and higher performance metrics. Ensure that the Quartus Prime software version selected supports the Stratix IV device family for successful compilation and programming.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EP4S100G3F45I2N belongs to the Stratix IV GT series, designed for applications requiring significant logic density and high-speed serial connectivity. The 'EP4S100G3' base indicates the specific logic size and speed grade, while 'F45' denotes the 1932-pin FineLine BGA package. The 'I2' suffix typically specifies the industrial temperature range, though verification against the manufacturer's documentation is required for the 'N' variant.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the EP4S100G3F45I2G. Designers migrating from this obsolete part should consult Intel's product transition guides for recommended next-generation FPGAs that match or exceed the original logic and I/O requirements.
