Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or certified suppliers due to the presence of counterfeit risks in the secondary market. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to PCB assembly. Ensure storage conditions adhere to JEDDEC standards to prevent humidity damage before reflow soldering.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 9,120 LABs and 16.73 Mbit memory are sufficient for the design requirements. Compare against EP4S40G2F40I2 or I3 variants if extended industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +100°C) or specific reliability certifications are required. Ensure the 1517-ball FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix IV family, which bridges the gap between mid-range and high-end FPGAs. It shares architectural similarities with other EP4S40 devices but differs in speed grades and environmental ratings defined by the suffix. It serves as a predecessor to later Intel Agilex and Cyclone V families.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may include EP4S40G2F40I2 or EP4S40G2F40I3N, provided the temperature range and RoHS requirements align with the system specifications. Verify that the target replacement maintains the same 1517-ball FBGA package dimensions and electrical characteristics.
