Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against Intel documentation to confirm lead-free packaging status and speed grade accuracy. Ensure the selected package footprint matches the PCB layout requirements for the 672-FBGA form factor before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring high logic density with integrated processor cores. Verify that the required transceiver speeds align with the device capabilities. Confirm thermal management strategies are adequate for the 28nm process node under maximum load conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E family, which targets cost-sensitive general logic and DSP applications. It offers enhanced logic integration compared to previous generations while maintaining low power consumption through the 28nm process technology.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes within the same density and package require matching the 'A9' member code and 'F27' package code. Verify speed grade compatibility when considering alternative variants in the Cyclone V E series.
