Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number suffix, specifically the final character, as it dictates the commercial or industrial temperature rating. Confirm the specific package variant matches the required PCB footprint. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any export control classifications applicable to this FPGA family before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity. Compare against the 5CGXFC7D6F27C7N if an extended commercial temperature range suffices. Evaluate power consumption profiles against system thermal constraints given the dense logic integration in the 672-ball BGA form factor.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Cyclone V GX series, designed for cost-sensitive applications needing Gigabit Transceiver functionality. It sits below the Stratix V family in performance but offers higher speed interfaces than standard Cyclone V devices. The 'I' suffix typically denotes industrial temperature operation, distinguishing it from commercial variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are limited due to specific silicon revisions. Consider the 5CGXFC7D6F27C7N for commercial temperature needs. For upgraded performance, evaluate Arria 10 or Agilex families, though these require redesigning the board layout and software toolchains.
