Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to limited availability. Confirm the specific suffix codes match design requirements, as they define temperature grades and packaging variations. Request official datasheets and RoHS compliance certificates prior to finalizing procurement orders to ensure regulatory adherence.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V GS variants based on required logic density and memory capacity. Ensure the 1517-ball FBGA package fits the target PCB footprint and thermal constraints. Validate that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets interface specifications. Consider end-of-life status when planning long-term production cycles.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant programmable logic. It shares the same physical package and pinout compatibility within the series but differs in resource counts. The GS designation indicates a specific performance and power optimization tier within the broader Stratix portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

No verified public substitute part numbers are available. Direct replacements may require redesigning the FPGA configuration and potentially adjusting the PCB layout if alternative packages differ.
