Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is officially discontinued by Altera. Verification of authenticity is critical when sourcing from secondary markets. Check for moisture sensitivity indicators and physical integrity due to age. Confirm that the specific suffix QC240-1 matches the required package and speed grade, as variations exist within the FLEX 10KE series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this part only if legacy compatibility with the FLEX 10KE architecture is required. Ensure the design utilizes a 2.5 V core voltage domain. Compare pin counts against alternatives like the EPF10K50STC144-3 for smaller packages or EPF10K50SFC484-3 for higher I/O density in FBGA formats. Note that modern replacements are not direct pin-compatible upgrades.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EPF10K50SQC240-1 is part of the FLEX 10KE series, which succeeded the original FLEX 10K line. It offers enhanced embedded array blocks compared to its predecessor. The 'S' indicates the 2.5 V core voltage variant, while 'QC240' specifies the 240-pin QFP package. It is grouped under legacy device support collections alongside other discontinued Altera families.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitutes are listed. Legacy migration typically requires redesigning for newer architectures such as Cyclone or Stratix families, which do not offer pin-for-pin compatibility.
