Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is designated as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or secondary market sources. Buyers must confirm RoHS compliance status and humidity sensitivity handling requirements prior to procurement due to its age.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when specific compatibility with the Stratix IV GX architecture is required. Compare against the EP4SGX230FF35I4N if higher pin counts are needed, or the EP4SGX230DF29I3 if fewer transceivers suffice. Ensure design tools support legacy Quartus II versions compatible with this device family.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EP4SGX230DF29I4N belongs to the Stratix IV GX family, which utilizes TSMC's 40-nm process technology. This series was designed to provide high system bandwidth and low power consumption for demanding applications. It sits alongside other variants like the EP4SGX230HF35I3G, differing primarily in package type and I/O density.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific obsolete variant. Designers should evaluate migration paths to newer Intel FPGA families such as Agilex or Stratix 10, requiring schematic and firmware redesign.
