Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution for the EP4SE360F35C4 is determined by strict equivalence across the following critical parameters:

• Base product number (EP4SE360)
• Logic element count (353,600)
• I/O pin count (744)
• Embedded RAM capacity (23,105,536 bits)
• Package type (1152-FBGA)
• Supply voltage range (0.87V ~ 0.93V)
• Operating temperature range (0°C ~ 85°C)
• Mounting configuration (Surface Mount)

The EP4SE360F35C4G qualifies as a direct substitute based on identical electrical specifications and package footprint. The primary distinction lies in product status and compliance certifications rather than functional or electrical parameters.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The EP4SE360F35C4G is a direct functional equivalent to the EP4SE360F35C4. Both devices share identical electrical specifications, logic capacity, I/O configuration, and thermal characteristics. The EP4SE360F35C4G is preferred for new designs and ongoing production due to its active product status and RoHS compliance certification. For legacy system repairs or maintenance requiring the original part number, the EP4SE360F35C4 remains available in existing inventory. The transition from non-compliant to RoHS-compliant packaging represents the primary distinction between these variants.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can EP4SE360F35C4G be used as a direct replacement for EP4SE360F35C4?

A: Yes. Both parts are electrically and functionally identical. They share the same logic element count, I/O configuration, RAM capacity, package footprint, and operating specifications. The primary difference is product status and compliance certification.

Q: What is the significance of the "G" suffix in EP4SE360F35C4G?

A: The "G" suffix indicates RoHS compliance and represents a later production variant of the base EP4SE360 device. This designation reflects updated environmental and regulatory compliance standards.

Q: Are there packaging differences between these parts?

A: Yes. The EP4SE360F35C4 is supplied in bulk packaging, while the EP4SE360F35C4G is supplied in trays. Both maintain identical MSL ratings and handling requirements.

Q: Why is the EP4SE360F35C4 marked as obsolete?

A: The EP4SE360F35C4 has reached end-of-life status. The EP4SE360F35C4G represents the current active production variant and is the recommended choice for ongoing applications.

Q: Do these parts require different PCB layouts or design considerations?

A: No. Both devices use the 1152-FBGA (35x35) package with identical pin assignments and electrical characteristics. PCB designs are fully compatible between the two variants.

Q: What is the MSL rating and why does it matter?

A: Both parts carry an MSL rating of 3 (168 Hours), indicating they can be exposed to moisture for up to 168 hours at specified humidity levels before soldering. This rating applies equally to both variants and requires standard moisture control handling procedures.
