Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly. Review the official datasheet for specific handling requirements and storage conditions to ensure device reliability during manufacturing processes.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring moderate logic density with high I/O counts in a compact footprint. Compare against the 5SGSMD4E3H29C2LN for lower pin count needs or the 5SGSMD5K2F40C2N for increased logic resources. Ensure thermal management strategies align with the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V family, specifically the GS (General Speed) series. These devices utilize 28-nm technology to balance performance and cost. The part number indicates specific speed grading, package type, and operating temperature range within the broader Stratix V portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitutes are confirmed. Evaluate higher-tier Stratix V models for enhanced performance or legacy Cyclone IV devices for simpler logic requirements. Verify pin compatibility and software toolchain support when considering alternative programmable logic solutions.
