Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as the Stratix IV series may have limited availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to PCB assembly. Review datasheet specifications for power delivery requirements and thermal management needs associated with the BGA-780 package.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 289 I/Os and 24 transceivers are required within the Stratix IV GX family. Compare against EP4SGX290FF35I3N for higher pin count or EP4SGX290KF40I4 for different packaging options while maintaining similar logic density. Ensure design constraints align with the 900 mV core voltage specification.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix IV GX family, designed for high-density and high-performance applications. It shares architectural similarities with other EP4SGX290 variants but differs in package type and I/O count. The 'I' suffix indicates industrial temperature range capability.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include EP4SGX290FF35I3N and EP4SGX290KF40I4N. Verify pin compatibility and I/O mapping before replacement due to differing package footprints (BGA-780 vs FBGA-1152/1517).
