Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence or limited availability. Confirm that the specific suffix denotes the correct temperature grade and package variant required for your design. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any relevant PCNs affecting pinout or electrical characteristics before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity is required within a commercial temperature environment. Compare against the 5SGSMD5K series for identical logic capacity but verify if the specific I/O count and transceiver configuration meet system interface requirements. Consider power consumption profiles relative to the 850 mV core voltage operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V family, specifically the GS (General Speed) segment designed for volume-oriented applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 28-nm Stratix V devices but offers distinct resource configurations tailored for specific market segments requiring reliable performance without extreme speed grades.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific obsolete part number. Engineers should evaluate newer Intel Agilex or Arria 10 families for functional equivalents, noting that architectural differences will require significant schematic and firmware redesigns rather than simple substitution.
