Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix against official Intel documentation to confirm package type, speed grade, and temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and power delivery networks before procurement. Confirm lead times directly with authorized distributors as supply chain conditions may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this model for cost-sensitive applications requiring high logic density and integrated processing capabilities. Consider the 28nm process technology for improved power efficiency compared to previous generations. Evaluate the specific I/O count and memory requirements against the available resources in the Cyclone V E family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V E variant, which is optimized for lowest system cost and power consumption. It serves as a general-purpose FPGA suitable for a wide spectrum of logic and DSP applications. The E variant distinguishes itself from SE, SX, and ST variants by lacking the integrated Hard Processor System (HPS).

Replacement Considerations

Check for updated part numbers within the same Cyclone V E family that offer different package sizes or speed grades. Verify if newer revisions maintain pin-to-pin compatibility with current designs.
