Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C3N against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging details. Confirm RoHS compliance status through current manufacturer declarations. Check for any Product Change Notifications regarding label updates or pinout modifications before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring significant logic density combined with moderate I/O counts. Ensure power supply designs accommodate the specified 0.82V to 0.88V core voltage range. Verify that the PCB layout supports the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint and thermal requirements for the commercial temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, targeting cost-sensitive, high-volume applications compared to the GX or GT variants. It shares the same silicon die as other D8 devices but differs in speed grading and environmental ratings defined by the suffix codes.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements include other 5SGSMD8 variants with compatible suffixes such as 5SGSMD8K3F40C3G or 5SGSMD8K2F40C3N, provided electrical parameters and package compatibility are verified. Cross-family migration requires re-evaluation of timing and resource utilization.
