• Supports multiple low-voltage standards for flexible interface compatibility

Applications

• Industrial automation control systems
• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number including suffixes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct package, speed grade, and temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status and material declaration requirements prior to procurement. Cross-reference distributor listings with manufacturer datasheets to validate authenticity and revision history.

Selection Notes

Select this component when system requirements demand significant logic density combined with substantial embedded memory within the Cyclone V family. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling solutions. Ensure design tools support the specific device variant and verify pinout compatibility with existing board layouts during the initial schematic capture phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, optimized for cost-sensitive applications requiring moderate performance. It shares architectural similarities with other 5CGX devices but differs in logic cell count and memory capacity. The GX variant specifically targets general-purpose digital logic needs rather than high-end signal processing found in Arria or Stratix families.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package are limited. Consider upgrading to higher-density Cyclone V variants if additional logic is required, provided thermal constraints allow. Verify software compatibility with current Quartus Prime versions before migrating from obsolete components.
