Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution of the EP2AGX65DF29C5 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Logic Architecture: Identical logic element count (60,214) and LAB/CLB configuration (2,530)
• Memory Configuration: Matching total RAM bits (5,371,904)
• I/O Count: Equivalent I/O pin count (364)
• Electrical Specifications: Identical core voltage range (0.87V ~ 0.93V)
• Package Footprint: Same 780-FBGA (29x29) physical package
• Thermal Range: Matching operating temperature specification (0°C ~ 85°C)
• Series Compatibility: Same Arria II GX product family

The EP2AGX65DF29C5G qualifies as a direct substitute based on complete parameter alignment across all electrical, mechanical, and functional specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP2AGX65DF29C5G is the direct functional equivalent of the EP2AGX65DF29C5. Both devices share identical electrical specifications, logic capacity, memory configuration, I/O count, and physical package dimensions. The primary distinction is product status and regulatory compliance: the EP2AGX65DF29C5G is active and RoHS compliant, whereas the EP2AGX65DF29C5 is obsolete and RoHS non-compliant.

For new designs or ongoing production requiring this FPGA architecture, the EP2AGX65DF29C5G is the appropriate selection. For legacy systems currently using the EP2AGX65DF29C5, the EP2AGX65DF29C5G provides drop-in compatibility without design modification, provided that RoHS compliance requirements are satisfied in the target application.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the EP2AGX65DF29C5G replace the EP2AGX65DF29C5 in existing designs?

A: Yes. Both devices are electrically and mechanically identical. The EP2AGX65DF29C5G operates at the same core voltage (0.87V ~ 0.93V), supports the same 364 I/O configuration, and uses the identical 780-FBGA (29x29) package footprint. No PCB redesign or firmware modification is required.

Q: What is the difference between these two part numbers?

A: The EP2AGX65DF29C5G is the active production variant with RoHS compliance certification. The EP2AGX65DF29C5 is the obsolete predecessor without RoHS compliance. All functional and electrical parameters are identical.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Both devices use the 780-FBGA (29x29) package. The EP2AGX65DF29C5 is supplied in bulk, while the EP2AGX65DF29C5G is supplied in trays. This is a handling and logistics distinction only; the physical package and pin configuration are identical.

Q: What is the Moisture Sensitivity Level (MSL) for these devices?

A: Both the EP2AGX65DF29C5 and EP2AGX65DF29C5G carry an MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours). This specification applies to both parts identically and must be observed during storage and handling.

Q: Can I use the EP2AGX65DF29C5G in applications requiring RoHS compliance?

A: Yes. The EP2AGX65DF29C5G is RoHS compliant. The original EP2AGX65DF29C5 is not RoHS compliant and cannot be used in applications with RoHS requirements.
