Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) prior to assembly. Ensure storage conditions adhere to shelf-life guidelines to prevent degradation. Cross-reference the full part number to distinguish between speed grades and package variants within the Stratix V family.

Selection Notes

Select this model when requiring high logic density combined with significant embedded memory capacity. The 780-ball package offers a balance between pin count and board space constraints. Consider thermal management requirements due to the power consumption associated with 360,000 logic elements. Verify that the target application fits within the 0°C to 85°C operating temperature envelope.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, targeting cost-sensitive applications requiring substantial programmable logic without the highest performance tiers of the standard Stratix V line. It utilizes Intel's (formerly Altera) advanced process technology to deliver high integration levels in a flip-chip ball grid array format suitable for mass production environments.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited within the same family. Evaluate other 5SGSMD4 variants for different speed grades or temperature ratings. For upward migration, consider Stratix V standard devices; for downward, explore Stratix IV or Arria series depending on logic and memory needs.
