Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted, and sourcing may require checking secondary market distributors. Verify RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to procurement. Confirm lead times and authenticity through authorized channels due to the discontinued status.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high logic density and significant serial connectivity. Compare against other Stratix IV variants based on transceiver count and I/O requirements. Ensure PCB layout supports the 780-pin BGA footprint and thermal management for the 900 mV core voltage domain.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

As part of the Stratix IV GX series, this FPGA targets applications demanding high-bandwidth serial interfaces. It shares architectural similarities with other EP4SGX devices but differs in pin count and transceiver allocation. The 'I4' suffix typically denotes industrial temperature grading and specific packaging characteristics within the product line.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the end-of-life status. Consider Intel Agilex or Arria families for new designs. For board upgrades, verify pin-to-pin compatibility with existing Stratix IV components such as EP4SGX290FF35I3N, noting differences in I/O counts and package types.
