Will EP3C25F324C8NES work at -20C even though it's rated as Commercial Temperature Grade?

We are using an off-the-shelf board that has the EP3C25F324C8NES FPGA on it. We need to operate this board in temperatures down to -20C. The FPGA is rated for temperatures above 0C only. Since the bo...

Hi Stan,

Thank you for contacting Intel community.

It is always recommended to follow Intel guidelines in handling Intel device as Intel will not be responsible if the device is not working if customer did not follow the guidelines provided.

Hello Aiman,

Thank you for your reply. For our application we are not concerned about reliability and warranty as much as we are with functionality. We are not expecting Intel to take any responsibility when we operate the parts outside of the rated parameters.

Having said that we still need some support for the inquiry. Is there a way to contact an FAE or Intel Technical Support (other than the online Tech Support Ticket system, as they just sent me here)?

Additionally, I am not sure this question is posted under the correct topic, but I haven't found another topic related to physical parameters of the FPGA Asic.

Best Regards,

Stan
