Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Availability is limited to existing stock or secondary market sources. Verify RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to procurement. Ensure supply chain authenticity due to the discontinued production status.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high-density logic and significant embedded memory within the Stratix IV family. The FF35 package pitch and 1152-pin count require careful PCB layout consideration. Compare against EP4SGX230 variants with different suffixes only if temperature ratings or packaging formats differ, as the core functionality remains consistent within the series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EP4SGX230FF35I4N belongs to the Stratix IV GX family, which utilizes TSMC's 40-nm process technology. This family is distinguished by its integrated high-speed transceivers optimized for serial applications. It serves as a mid-to-high-end solution within the Stratix IV portfolio, bridging performance gaps between lower-density E/GX models and higher-capacity GT variants.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As the device is marked as obsolete, direct replacements may require migration to newer Intel/Altera families such as Arria V or Cyclone V, depending on specific pinout and performance requirements.
