Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C4' against official Altera documentation to confirm temperature range and commercial grade specifications. Check current availability status as distribution channels may list obsolete or end-of-life variants. Ensure compatibility with Quartus software versions supporting the Stratix IV GX family before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 291k logic elements and 880 I/Os are required. Compare against EP4SGX290KF40 variants if different pin counts or package sizes suit the PCB layout better. Verify that the 900 mV core voltage supply rails meet the design power budget constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix IV GX family, optimized for gigabit transceiver applications. It shares architectural similarities with other EP4SGX devices but differs in I/O count and package type. The 'K' indicates the specific package variant, while 'F43' denotes the 1760-ball FBGA footprint.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include EP4SGX290KF40C2G or EP4SGX290HF35I3G, though pinouts and I/O counts differ. Verify functional equivalence using Altera's cross-reference tools. No identical pin-to-pin substitutes are publicly confirmed for the F43 package.
