Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EP3C40F484I7 is based on strict equivalence of the following critical parameters:

• Base product number (EP3C40)
• Logic element count (39,600)
• I/O pin count (331)
• RAM capacity (1,161,216 bits)
• Package configuration (484-BGA, 23x23mm)
• Voltage supply range (1.15V ~ 1.25V)
• Operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C)
• Mounting type (Surface Mount)

The identified substitute part maintains all electrical and functional specifications. Differences are limited to packaging format (Tray vs. standard packaging) and compliance certifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP3C40F484I7N serves as a direct functional equivalent to the EP3C40F484I7, with identical electrical performance and logic capacity. Selection between these parts should be based on compliance requirements and supply chain considerations:

• EP3C40F484I7: Select when RoHS non-compliant components are acceptable for the application.
• EP3C40F484I7N: Select when RoHS compliance is required. This variant maintains all functional specifications while meeting RoHS standards.

Both parts are in active production status and share identical operating parameters, package dimensions, and thermal characteristics. The choice between standard and Tray packaging depends on procurement and assembly workflow requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are EP3C40F484I7 and EP3C40F484I7N electrically identical?

A: Yes. Both parts share identical logic element count (39,600), I/O configuration (331 pins), RAM capacity (1,161,216 bits), voltage supply range (1.15V ~ 1.25V), and operating temperature range (-40°C ~ 100°C). Electrical performance is equivalent.

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

A: The primary differences are packaging format (standard vs. Tray) and RoHS compliance status. The EP3C40F484I7N is RoHS Compliant, while the EP3C40F484I7 is RoHS non-compliant. All functional and electrical specifications remain identical.

Q: Can I use EP3C40F484I7N as a drop-in replacement for EP3C40F484I7?

A: Yes, for applications where RoHS compliance is acceptable or required. The 484-BGA package dimensions (23x23mm) and pin configuration are identical, enabling direct PCB-level substitution.

Q: Does packaging format (Tray vs. standard) affect device performance?

A: No. Packaging format affects only handling, storage, and assembly logistics. Device performance and electrical characteristics are unaffected.

Q: Are both parts currently available?

A: Yes. Both EP3C40F484I7 and EP3C40F484I7N are in active production status with current inventory availability.
