Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' against official Intel documentation, as standard listings typically use 'C' or 'I' for commercial/industrial grades. Confirm availability status directly with authorized distributors, as lead times may vary significantly for this series. Ensure the package type matches the required PCB footprint.

Selection Notes

Compare the 457,000 LE count and 39 Mbit memory capacity against project requirements. Verify that the 1517-ball FCBGA package fits the design constraints. Check if the 0°C to 85°C operating range meets environmental specifications. Consider power consumption relative to other Stratix V variants.

Part Context

This FPGA belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets cost-sensitive, high-volume applications. It shares architectural similarities with the GX and GT families but focuses on reducing cost while maintaining essential performance metrics for general-purpose programmable logic needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GS devices with similar logic counts, such as the 5SGSMD5K2F40C3G or 5SGSMD5K2F40C1G. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution.
