Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3G' against official datasheets to confirm environmental compliance and lead-free status. Check current lifecycle status as some Stratix IV variants are obsolete. Ensure compatibility with Quartus software versions supporting this device family before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver count against requirements. Verify thermal management needs for the FBGA-1152 package. Confirm that the 900 mV core voltage aligns with available power delivery solutions. Consider end-of-life status if long-term production is required.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix IV GX family, designed for high-speed serial applications. It sits between lower-density models like the EP4SGX90 and higher-density options like the EP4SGX360 in terms of logic resources. The 'GX' designation indicates optimized high-speed transceivers.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix IV GX variants with similar I/O counts but different logic densities, such as EP4SGX180HF35C3N or EP4SGX180FF35I3G, depending on temperature grade and RoHS requirements. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications.
