Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current datasheets as regulatory requirements may evolve. Check for any known errata or design guidelines relevant to the specific silicon revision before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high logic density and substantial embedded memory are required within a Stratix V GS form factor. Ensure the system design accommodates the 780-ball BGA footprint and thermal requirements. Verify that the available I/O count meets interface needs and that the development environment supports the specific device family features.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets cost-sensitive high-performance applications compared to the standard Stratix V series. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the 5SGSMD3E series but offers distinct resource configurations. The family is designed to provide efficient power consumption alongside robust programmable logic capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements must match the 780-ball HBGA package and pinout. Consider other devices within the Stratix V GS family with equivalent or higher logic resources. Verify software compatibility with Quartus Prime versions and ensure thermal characteristics align with the target application environment.
