Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the complete part number, as suffixes such as LG or C2 indicate specific packaging, temperature, or speed grades. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Check current availability as distribution channels may vary. Ensure compatibility with Quartus software versions supported by this device generation.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select based on required logic density and I/O count relative to the 457,000 LE capacity. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling solutions for the 1517-ball package. Consider thermal management needs given the 85°C maximum junction temperature limit. Verify that the selected speed grade meets timing constraints for target clock frequencies.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V family, representing a 28-nm technology node. It targets high-performance applications requiring substantial parallel processing capabilities. The GS variant typically offers cost-effective performance compared to higher-end GTX or GX series devices while maintaining robust connectivity features.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements within the same package footprint are limited due to specific pinout configurations. Upgrading to newer Intel FPGA families requires schematic and layout redesign. Cross-reference with other Stratix V variants only if electrical parameters and pin compatibility are explicitly verified in official documentation.
