Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is designated as obsolete or not recommended for new designs. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for remaining stock or surplus market sources. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when specific Stratix IV GX performance characteristics are required, particularly the balance between 291k LEs and 16 transceivers. Verify that the 1152-pin FBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints. Confirm that the 900 mV core voltage supply design aligns with existing power delivery networks on the target board.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

As part of the Stratix IV GX family, this FPGA targets high-performance serial communication applications. It succeeded earlier generations like Stratix II GX and was later superseded by the Stratix V and Agilex families. The 'I3N' suffix typically denotes the industrial temperature grade and lead-free packaging compliant with environmental regulations.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not available due to architectural evolution. Consider Intel/Altera Stratix V or Agilex series devices for modern alternatives. Evaluate migration paths using Quartus Prime software compatibility tools to assess design portability and feature parity with newer generation FPGAs.
