Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C2WN' against official Intel/Altera documentation, as standard listings often use 'C2G'. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) and reflow soldering profile requirements. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Check for end-of-life status or recommended design-in alternatives if production continuity is critical.

Selection Notes

Select this component when requiring a balance between high logic density and power efficiency. Compare total embedded memory capacity against application needs. Evaluate thermal performance given the 780-ball BGA footprint. Ensure the design toolchain supports the specific speed grade and operating temperature range specified for this variant.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets high-volume, cost-optimized applications compared to the standard Stratix V series. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers enhanced power efficiency. The 5SGSMD3 prefix indicates a specific die size and configuration within the broader Stratix portfolio.
