Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

This component is designated as End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer. Public documentation confirms discontinuance notifications are active. Availability is restricted to existing stock or secondary market sources. Verification of authenticity and condition is required due to the discontinued status.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Designers should consider the 3.3 V operating voltage and commercial temperature range (0°C to +70°C) when selecting this part. The 484-pin FBGA package requires specific PCB layout considerations for fine-pitch soldering. Verify that the 2,880 LE capacity meets the target design complexity before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

The EPF10K50VFC484-3 is part of the FLEX 10KA family, an enhancement of the original FLEX 10K architecture. This generation introduced improved performance and density while maintaining compatibility with legacy design tools. The 'V' suffix typically denotes the 3.3 V variant within the series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Public data indicates no direct functional substitutes. Designers must evaluate migration paths to modern FPGA families such as Cyclone or Arria series, which offer updated manufacturing processes and toolchains.
