Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official manufacturer documentation, as distributor listings may contain typos or non-standard designators. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements prior to assembly. Ensure compatibility with current Quartus Prime software versions for programming and configuration. Check for any product change notices affecting pinout or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring moderate logic density with integrated hard processor system capabilities if applicable to the specific variant. Compare resource utilization against alternative Stratix V devices to optimize cost and performance. Consider thermal management solutions due to the high pin count and power consumption typical of this FPGA family. Validate that the 1517-ball BGA footprint matches the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets general-purpose high-volume applications. It sits below the higher-end GX and GT models in terms of transceiver speed but offers significant logic resources. The GS series is designed for cost-sensitive markets while maintaining robust performance for data center and enterprise networking tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package are limited due to the maturity of the Stratix V platform. Upgrades typically involve migrating to Agilex or Stratix 10 families, which require significant redesign. Verify if older Stratix V variants with identical pinouts are available as drop-in substitutes for inventory continuity.
