Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' against official Altera documentation to confirm compliance status and material composition details. Confirm availability status as distribution data indicates potential discontinuation or limited stock for this specific variant. Ensure moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling protocols are followed during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require approximately 700k LEs with moderate embedded memory needs. Compare against the 5SGSED8K2F40C2LG if lower density (512 Mbit RAM equivalent) is acceptable. Verify pin compatibility with existing PCB layouts due to the 1517 FBGA footprint. Check Quartus Prime software version support for the specific device family.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets cost-sensitive, high-volume applications compared to the GX or GT families. The GS series emphasizes logic density and embedded memory efficiency without the high-speed transceivers found in other variants. It serves as a successor to earlier Stratix IV devices in terms of logic density.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Engineers should consult Altera's migration guides for transitioning from Stratix IV or Arria V families. Cross-referencing pinouts and electrical specifications with newer Agilex families may be necessary for long-term design sustainability.
