Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3' against official Altera documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and RoHS compliance status, as distributor listings may vary. Confirm current lifecycle status, as some sources indicate this specific variant may be discontinued or subject to limited supply constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring the specific combination of Stratix IV GX transceiver performance and logic density. Ensure the design accommodates the 900 mV core voltage requirement. Verify that the FBGA-1152 footprint matches the PCB layout, noting the 0°C to +70°C operating range limits suitability for harsh industrial environments compared to the '-I' variants.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera Stratix IV GX family, designed for high-performance applications requiring significant parallel processing and high-speed serial connectivity. It sits between the lower-density EP4SGX90 and higher-density EP4SGX230 models in terms of logic resources, sharing the same 564 I/O count and transceiver configuration.
