Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted to existing stock or secondary market sources. Verification of authenticity and physical condition is critical due to the end-of-life status. Users should confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements and ensure compatibility with current design tools before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this device for designs requiring moderate logic density with integrated processor capabilities. Compare against newer Agilex families for improved power efficiency and performance. Ensure software toolchain support for legacy Stratix V devices remains available. Evaluate pinout compatibility if migrating from previous generation Altera FPGAs.

Part Context

Part of the Stratix V GS family, designed to balance performance with power efficiency for mid-range applications. It complements the higher-density GX and GT series by offering integrated hard processor systems. The device targets markets needing reliable programmable logic with embedded processing features.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitutes are confirmed. Migration paths typically involve upgrading to Intel Agilex or Cyclone V families. Designers must re-evaluate pin assignments, power budgets, and software compatibility when transitioning to newer generations.
