Part Status, End Of Life details and Compliance Data

[Akash10]

Hello,

Greetings for the day !!!

Could you please provide the following details required for the below mentioned parts.

1. Part Status (Active/NRND/Discontinued) :
2. Years to End of Life (YTEOL) :
3. RoHS Compliance : (Documents)
4. REACH Compliance :

Mfr Part numbers :

EP3C5EQFP

If there is no plan for End of Life (EoL) for these parts, are we safe to assume that these parts have a lifetime of at least 7 more years ?

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards

Hello Akash,

For Cyclone III devices, new designs are not recommended. You can consider other Cyclone families. Refer here:

Hi Aqid,

For Current Designs is it obselete or will be supported. Could you please check and let me know the YTEOL for the same.

Please suggest.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

EP3C5EQFP is no valid Cyclone III order code. You are probably referring to a EP3C5E144 type, there are different temperature and speed grades with according to my resources 0 to 1 year to EOL, you might consider a last order if want to support an existing product.

Suggested replacement is Cyclone IV E, EP4CE6E22, 99 percent pin compatible, CLK0 pin is changed to GND in Cyclone IV.
