Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'LG' against official Altera documentation to confirm pinout and package compatibility, as suffix variations may indicate different thermal or mechanical specifications. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements for PCB assembly processes. Ensure design files are compatible with the supported Quartus Prime software versions listed in the current product status documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a balance of moderate logic density and low power consumption is required. Compare total embedded memory capacity against application data buffering needs. Evaluate the number of available I/Os relative to system interface requirements. Consider the operating temperature range suitability for the intended environmental conditions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, designed by Altera (now Intel). The GS series focuses on delivering high performance at a lower cost point compared to the standard Stratix V lineup. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the 5SGSMD series but offers distinct resource densities and package options tailored for volume production.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitutes are not identified in the provided source material. Cross-referencing with Intel's official migration guides is recommended to identify equivalent resources in newer Agilex or Stratix 10 families if obsolescence becomes a factor.
