Procurement Notes

Verify current product status as some Stratix V variants may be discontinued or subject to limited availability. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during assembly. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions for design implementation. Check for specific packaging constraints if replacing older revisions. Validate supply chain authenticity through authorized distributors only.

Selection Notes

Compare logic element counts and transceiver speeds against alternative Stratix V models like the GX series for higher performance needs. Evaluate pin count compatibility with existing PCB footprints when selecting between different package options. Consider thermal management solutions given the high density of the 1932-ball FBGA package. Review power supply requirements to ensure stable voltage regulation for the 0.87V core rail.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GS family, designed for cost-sensitive applications requiring significant logic density without the highest speed grades. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers optimized resource allocation for general-purpose high-performance computing. The part represents a mature technology node supported by extensive ecosystem tools and libraries.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GS parts with similar I/O counts such as 5SGSMD6N3F45C2G. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility before substitution. Higher performance alternatives may require redesigning clocking and power delivery networks. Software migration from legacy Quartus versions may be necessary for newer silicon revisions.
