Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant accuracy. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Cyclone V GX family. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets before integration into regulated assemblies.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require moderate logic density combined with serial communication capabilities. Evaluate power consumption profiles against system thermal constraints given the 1.1V core voltage. Compare resource utilization against alternative Cyclone V variants to ensure optimal cost-performance balance for the target application scope.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit Transceiver functionality. It sits below the Arria V series in performance hierarchy but offers significant logic density compared to smaller Cyclone V devices. The GX designation specifically highlights its integrated serial transceiver assets suitable for medium-speed interconnects.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same package are limited due to specific logic and memory configurations. Consider the 5CGXFC5C6F23A7N for extended industrial temperature range requirements (-40°C to 125°C). Verify functional equivalence carefully as logic element counts and memory sizes may differ between revisions.
