Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation control systems
• Medical imaging signal processing
• Data center networking switches

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C2G' against official Intel/Altera documentation, as standard listings often utilize 'I2LG' or 'C2LN'. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements for your assembly process. Ensure the source provides valid traceability for this specific variant, as availability may be limited compared to other Stratix V GS SKUs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance between performance and cost is required for Stratix V designs. Compare resource utilization against the 5SGSMD5K series if higher logic density is needed. Verify that the 1517-pin package fits your PCB footprint constraints and thermal management strategy. Ensure design tools support the specific device family for compilation.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets general-purpose, high-volume markets. It shares architectural similarities with the GX and GT families but focuses on optimizing cost-per-gate while maintaining robust connectivity features. The GS series typically offers competitive pricing for large-scale deployments in industrial and communication sectors.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package and pinout are limited due to the end-of-life status of many Stratix V parts. Consider the 5SGSMD5K series for increased resources if pin compatibility allows. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Cyclone V requires significant schematic and layout redesign.
