Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Intel/Altera distributors due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) requirements prior to assembly. Check for recent Product Change Notices regarding labeling or packaging updates. Ensure supply chain stability as lead times may vary significantly based on manufacturing allocation.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring robust industrial temperature ranges (-40°C to +100°C) combined with high I/O counts. Compare against the C2N variant if commercial temperature range suffices, or the I2G variant for different voltage specifications. Evaluate total embedded memory needs against the 19 Mbit capacity and consider pin compatibility within the 1517 FBGA footprint during PCB layout planning.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, targeting cost-sensitive yet high-performance markets. It shares architectural similarities with the GX and GT variants but focuses on balanced logic and memory resources. The part number suffix indicates specific thermal, electrical, and packaging configurations defined by Intel's standard naming convention for programmable logic devices.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitutes are confirmed in the provided documentation. Designers should evaluate Intel's subsequent generation Agilex or Arria 10 families for migration paths, ensuring functional equivalence in logic density and transceiver capabilities. Cross-referencing pinouts and software toolchain compatibility with Quartus Prime is essential for any alternative selection.
