Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm pinout compatibility and electrical specifications. Ensure that any requested variants match the exact part number requirements for your design integration. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to confirm current manufacturing status and availability constraints before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require moderate logic capacity combined with serial transceiver connectivity within the Cyclone V family. Evaluate power consumption profiles against system thermal limits given the 1.1V core voltage requirement. Compare resource utilization metrics against alternative models in the 5CGXC5 series to ensure optimal cost-performance balance for the target application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring Gigabit Transceiver capabilities. It sits below the Arria and Stratix families in terms of performance but offers a balanced feature set for entry-level gigabit connectivity solutions. The GX designation specifically indicates the inclusion of hard transceiver macros.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout include other 5CGXFC5 variants with different speed grades or temperature ranges. Verify functional equivalence by comparing logic element counts and transceiver specifications against the original design requirements before substitution.
