Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity and datasheet revision status due to potential lifecycle changes. Confirm specific suffix designations match required voltage and temperature grades. Check for obsolescence notices or last-time-buy alerts as availability may be restricted. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability documentation for critical deployments.

Selection Notes

Compare against the 5SGSMD8K2F40C2LG variant for differences in temperature rating and voltage specifications. Evaluate pin compatibility if substituting within the same package family. Assess total logic and memory requirements against the 695k LE and 51.2 Mbit limits. Verify transceiver count matches interface bandwidth needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V GS series, targeting cost-sensitive applications requiring high performance. The GS designation indicates a specific optimization tier within the broader Stratix V portfolio, balancing resource density with power consumption constraints for scalable system designs.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the 5SGSMD8K2F40C2LG, which shares the same package and logical resources but may differ in electrical characteristics. Cross-reference pinouts and timing parameters before integration to ensure functional equivalence.
