Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'WN' against official Intel/Altera documentation, as standard listings often use 'C1N' or 'C2N'. Confirm moisture sensitivity level and reflow soldering profile requirements prior to assembly. Check for end-of-life status or obsolescence notices, as older Stratix V variants may have limited availability through authorized channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when balancing logic density with power efficiency in mid-range FPGA applications. Compare total embedded memory capacity and transceiver count against competing devices to ensure sufficient resources for protocol handling. Ensure the 1517-ball package fits the target PCB footprint and thermal design constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, designed by Altera (now Intel). It sits below the GX and MX families in terms of core performance but offers competitive pricing for general-purpose high-density logic needs. The GS designation indicates a focus on value and power efficiency while maintaining robust connectivity features.
