Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and packaging configuration. Confirm that the source document matches the manufacturer's current datasheet revision. Check for any applicable export control classifications or licensing requirements associated with this FPGA family before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a Cyclone V GX device with approximately 50k LEs and 484-ball BGA packaging is required. Ensure the design utilizes the 1.1V core voltage domain. Compare total embedded memory capacity against application needs. Verify that the 240 available I/O pins meet the system interface requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance and high-speed serial connectivity. It sits below the Arria and Stratix families in terms of raw performance but offers a balance of power efficiency and feature set suitable for mid-range embedded logic designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and logic density are limited. Consider other 5CGXC4 variants with different suffixes for temperature or speed grades. Cross-family migration to Cyclone V E or SoC devices requires schematic and timing adjustments.
