Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer, as these details are subject to change and are not included in static technical specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this model when an integrated ARM processor is required alongside FPGA fabric for complex system-on-chip designs. Compare logic element counts and embedded memory sizes against alternative Cyclone V variants to ensure sufficient resource headroom for the target design complexity and performance requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E family, which targets economy and efficiency markets. It differs from the GX/GT series by lacking high-speed SerDes transceivers, making it suitable for parallel logic and standard interface applications rather than high-speed serial communications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and logic density should be verified via the official Cyclone V product selector. Consider upgrading to higher speed grades or logic densities if future-proofing is required, ensuring compatibility with existing PCB footprints.
