Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to end-of-life status. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly. Validate that the specific suffix corresponds to the intended performance grade and packaging configuration before integration into production workflows.

Selection Notes

Select this model for designs requiring high logic density with moderate transceiver counts. Compare against the 5SGX series if higher speed grades or different power profiles are necessary. Ensure board layout accommodates the 1517-ball FBGA footprint and thermal dissipation needs associated with the Stratix V family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V family, representing a 28-nm process technology node. The GS variant targets general-purpose high-performance applications, balancing logic capacity with integrated connectivity features for complex system-on-chip implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitutes are not available as the device is discontinued. Evaluate next-generation Intel Agilex or Arria 10 families for functional equivalents, noting architectural differences and pinout incompatibilities.
