Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to procurement. Check for specific ordering suffixes that may indicate packaging or testing variations. Ensure storage conditions meet humidity requirements to prevent damage before soldering.

Selection Notes

Select this model when 840,000 LE capacity and 696 I/Os are required within a 1517-ball BGA footprint. The 850 mV core voltage dictates specific power delivery network designs. Compare against other Stratix V variants if different speed grades or extended temperature ranges are needed. Validate PCB layout compatibility with the FCBGA package dimensions.

Part Context

This FPGA is part of the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V family, specifically the 'E' edition which emphasizes high logic density and efficiency. The 'I' suffix typically denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). The 'L' suffix often refers to lead-free packaging compliant with environmental directives. It succeeds earlier generations like Stratix IV in providing higher performance per watt.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements within the same package and functionality are not explicitly listed in public documentation. Consider upgrading to newer Intel Agilex or Arria 10 families for enhanced features, though these require schematic and layout redesigns. Verify if older stock of 5SEE9H40I3L remains available from distributors before committing to a new design.
