• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I7' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the guaranteed speed grade and temperature rating. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pin count and package type required for the target PCB footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current product availability page before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when the design requires moderate logic density combined with serial connectivity capabilities. The three-transceiver configuration is suitable for point-to-point links or simple multi-drop buses. Evaluate the 1.32 Mbit memory capacity against buffer requirements. Consider the 484-pin FBGA package constraints during thermal and mechanical layout planning.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit Ethernet or serial I/O. It sits below the Stratix and Arria families in terms of performance but offers lower power consumption. The GX designation specifically indicates the inclusion of hard serial transceivers compared to the standard GXE variants.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Verify compatibility with alternative devices by comparing pin assignments, voltage levels, and logic resource counts directly with the manufacturer's cross-reference tools.
