Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is listed as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Verification of current availability requires checking authorized distributors for surplus stock or secondary market sources. Designers should confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity levels prior to procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when 2,880 LEs and 20,480 bits of embedded RAM are required within a 240-pin PQFP package. Ensure the design utilizes a 2.5 V power supply, as this specific suffix denotes the 3.3-V/2.5-V device variant. Verify that the 189 I/O pin count meets the system interface requirements.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EPF10K50EQC240-3N belongs to the FLEX 10KE series, an evolution of the original FLEX 10K family offering enhanced performance and lower power consumption. It is part of Altera's legacy embedded programmable logic portfolio, designed for high-density applications before being succeeded by newer FPGA architectures.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. As an EOL product, designers must evaluate modern Intel/Altera FPGA families for functional equivalence and pin compatibility.
