• Integrated 13 Mbit embedded memory for data buffering and processing
• Surface-mount HBGA-780 package optimized for space-constrained designs

Applications

• High-performance telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Medical imaging signal processing units
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes (e.g., C3G) against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature range and speed grade. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Ensure compatibility with current Quartus Prime software versions for programming and configuration. Check for any product change notices affecting pinout or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and low power consumption is required within the Stratix V portfolio. Compare against higher-density Stratix V variants if additional logic resources are needed. Evaluate the 780-ball BGA package constraints against PCB layout capabilities. Consider the 13 Mbit embedded memory capacity relative to application data storage needs.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, designed for general-purpose applications emphasizing power efficiency. It sits below the higher-performance Stratix V SX and EX series in terms of transceiver count and logic density. The GS designation typically indicates a focus on cost-effective, high-volume production environments compared to the premium performance tiers.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout may include other 5SGSMD3E series variants with different speed grades or temperature ratings. Verify functional equivalence by comparing logic element counts and memory sizes. Cross-reference with Intel's migration guides for potential pin-compatible upgrades or downgrades within the Stratix V ecosystem.
