Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part is officially marked obsolete. Confirm that the specific suffix designations match project requirements, noting that packaging details may vary by distributor source. Ensure compliance with RoHS standards and check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring an embedded ARM9 core alongside FPGA resources. Consider the FC-FBGA package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate thermal management capabilities given the operating temperature limits. Review the lifecycle status carefully as availability is restricted due to obsolescence.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Excalibur family, which combines ARM processors with FPGA technology. It represents a specialized solution for mixed-signal and embedded control tasks. The device is distinct from standard Cyclone or Stratix series FPGAs due to its integrated processor architecture.

Replacement Considerations
