Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering part number against official Intel documentation to ensure correct speed grade and package configuration. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required industrial temperature rating and lead-free packaging specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require a balance of moderate logic density and multiple high-speed serial interfaces within the Cyclone V family. Ensure the system architecture accommodates the 896-pin FBGA footprint and validates power delivery for the 1.1V core voltage requirement during initial schematic design.

Part Context

This model belongs to the Cyclone V GX variant, which focuses on cost-effective solutions for 3.125 Gbps transceiver applications. It sits between the E series and the higher-performance GT series, offering dedicated serial I/O capabilities alongside standard FPGA fabric resources for general-purpose programmable logic tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements within the same density are limited due to specific transceiver counts. Verify if devices like the 5CGXFC9A series share identical package footprints and resource allocations before substituting in existing hardware layouts.
