EPCQ256 alternatives

[TKrum]

Hello,

I like to use a Cyclone V 5CEFA9F23I7N in a new Design.  The Recommended EPCQ Serial Configuration Device is EPCQ256 which is not loger available. What can I use instead?

Hi,

Thank you for contacting Intel community.

You may replace EPCQ256 with EPCQ-A, as it is compatible with Cyclone V.

Hi, thank you.

The problem is, that the largest EPCQ-A is the EPCQ128A. There is no EPCQ256A or larger.

Hi,

Please use Micron MT25Q(3rd party flash) as replacement to EPCQ256.
