Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm it denotes the commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Confirm RoHS compliance and REACH registration status through current manufacturer declarations before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and low power consumption is required for Stratix V GS applications. Compare total RAM capacity and I/O counts against similar models like the 5SGSMD5K2F40C3G or C1G to ensure pinout and performance alignment. Verify that the 1517-FBGA package dimensions fit the target PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets bandwidth-centric and data-intensive applications. It shares the same die and logical structure as other variants in the 5SGSMD5K2F40 series but differs in thermal rating and packaging specifications. The GS designation indicates a focus on lower power and cost efficiency compared to higher-performance Stratix V counterparts.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include 5SGSMD5K2F40C3G and 5SGSMD5K2F40C1G, which share identical logic resources and pinouts. Verify that the replacement variant meets the specific operating temperature requirements of the application, as suffixes indicate different thermal grades.
