Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct temperature range and package variant compatibility. Confirm RoHS compliance status with current datasheets as regulatory requirements may evolve. Check for any pending Product Change Notices that might affect pinout or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and low power consumption is required. Compare against the 5SGSMD4K1 series for lower capacity needs or the 5SGSMD5K series for higher performance. Ensure the design accommodates the specific thermal requirements of the 1517-ball FCBGA package and validates signal integrity for the supported I/O standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets general-purpose embedded markets requiring efficient resource utilization. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers distinct pricing and feature sets tailored for volume production environments. The GS designation indicates specific optimization for cost and power efficiency compared to standard Stratix V variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct functional replacements within the same package are limited due to the specific GS configuration. Consider upgrading to newer Intel Agilex families for improved performance per watt. Legacy equivalents from the Stratix IV GS series may fit mechanically but lack comparable speed grades and memory bandwidth capabilities.
