Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct voltage, temperature, and packaging variants. Confirm current product status as some Stratix V models may be discontinued or subject to limited availability. Cross-reference manufacturer part numbers with authorized distributors to avoid counterfeit components. Check for any required qualification reports or compliance certifications relevant to your region.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required alongside moderate I/O counts. Compare against other Stratix V families based on specific power constraints and transceiver requirements. Ensure the 1517-ball package fits the board layout constraints. Evaluate thermal management solutions suitable for the specified operating temperature range and power dissipation characteristics.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GS family, which targets cost-sensitive applications requiring substantial programmable logic without the highest speed grades of the GX or GT series. The GS variant typically offers lower power consumption compared to higher-performance counterparts while maintaining significant computational capabilities for general-purpose high-density applications.
