Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distribution channels due to potential counterfeit risks in the market. Confirm that the specific suffix indicates the correct temperature grade and package variant required for your design. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and check for any end-of-life notifications or last-time buy notices from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designing systems requiring significant logic capacity combined with robust industrial environmental tolerance. Compare against other Stratix V variants based on specific I/O count needs and memory bandwidth requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles against available cooling solutions, as high-density FPGAs generate substantial heat during operation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, targeting cost-sensitive applications while maintaining high performance. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers optimized resource allocation for general-purpose computing tasks. The part number structure indicates specific package, speed grade, and temperature range configurations defined by Intel.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements may not exist for this specific configuration. Consider evaluating newer Intel Agilex families for improved performance-per-watt ratios. Legacy Stratix IV or Arria V devices may serve as functional alternatives if logic density permits, though feature sets will differ significantly.
