Replacement part number for EP20K200RI240-2

I am looking for the replacement part number for Altera part number EP20K200RI240-2. The EOL says that it is Cyclone Series FPGAs but does not give a part number.

    Hi,
    question is, what do you consider as replacement part. There's most likely no pin-compatible replacement, no FPGA in same QFP240 package among active Intel/Altera products and no part working with 1.8V core supply.

    Apart from this problem a small recent FPGA, e.g. Cyclone IV (EP4CE10) or Cyclone 10 (10CL010) can replace said APEX 20KC FPGA 20K200.

    Basically I am a contractor that works DMSMS and need to find something that will work as a substitute since the original is obsolete. I will send your info to our engineers. I appreciate the assistance.

    Hi Michelle4,


    As the fellow member mentioned, there is no direct, pin-compatible replacement for the EP20K200RI240-2. Newer Intel/Altera FPGAs like the Cyclone IV or Cyclone 10 series are suggested for migration, but they come in different packages and require changes to your PCB and possibly your power supply.


    In summary, you'll need to redesign your board and port your code to use a modern Cyclone FPGA. If you share your requirements, we can help recommend the best device for your needs.


    Regards,
