• Through-hole mounting technology for PCB integration

Applications

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official Altera documentation to confirm voltage ratings and temperature ranges. Confirm that the 18-DIP package matches the target board layout requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing system interfaces before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an 18-pin DIP controller is required for through-hole assembly. Consider the iATC 29C48FC series specifications for electrical parameters. Verify pinout compatibility with the intended application circuit design.

Part Context

This part falls under Altera's specialized ICs category, distinct from their primary FPGA and CPLD product lines. It represents a legacy or niche controller solution within the broader programmable logic ecosystem.

Replacement Considerations

Check for direct pin-compatible alternatives within the iATC series. Verify if newer packages such as SOIC or TQFP are available if space constraints change.
