Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C4N' against official Altera documentation to confirm pinout and electrical characteristics, as 'C4G' variants exist in public databases. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to assembly. Check for end-of-life notices or production change notifications that may affect long-term availability.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring moderate logic density with high-speed serial connectivity capabilities. Ensure the design accommodates the 1152-pin BGA footprint and thermal requirements. Compare against the EP4SGX70HF35C4G if higher temperature ratings are needed, as the 'C' series typically denotes commercial temperature range.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the Stratix IV GX family, designed for applications requiring significant bandwidth and low power consumption. It sits between smaller Stratix IV devices and larger models like the EP4SGX180, offering a balance of logic resources and transceiver count for mid-range high-performance applications.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Public sources list EP4SGX70HF35C4G as a variant within the same family. Verify if the 'N' suffix indicates a specific packaging or environmental certification difference before substituting.
