Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence or limited availability. Confirm that the suffix 'C2' corresponds to the required commercial temperature rating and speed grade for the specific design environment. Check for moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during storage and assembly.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 289 I/Os and 16 transceivers are sufficient for the interface requirements. Compare against the EP4SGX360FH29I3N if an industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) is necessary instead of the commercial range. Ensure the 780-pin HBGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This FPGA is part of the Stratix IV GX series, designed for high-performance applications requiring significant logic density and high-speed serial connectivity. It succeeds earlier generations while offering enhanced DSP capabilities and memory resources compared to lower-density variants like the EP4SGX290 series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult official lifecycle notices for end-of-life status and potential migration paths to newer families such as Arria or Agilex.
