Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LN' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm exact temperature grade and packaging specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts due to the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during assembly to prevent damage. Cross-reference lead times with authorized distributors as availability may vary.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required for complex signal processing tasks. The 1517-ball package suits designs needing extensive I/O connectivity. Consider the industrial temperature rating for environments with thermal fluctuations. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 0.82V-0.88V core voltage requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets cost-sensitive yet performance-demanding markets. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific resource configurations. The 'GS' designation typically indicates a value-oriented tier within the broader Stratix portfolio, balancing capacity with manufacturing efficiency.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GS variants with matching pin counts and logic resources, such as 5SGSMD5K2F40I2LG or 5SGSMD5K2F40C2LN, provided temperature grades align. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 1517-ball FCBGA form factor and electrical characteristics.
