Procurement Notes

This component is listed as discontinued or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Availability is restricted to existing stock or secondary market sources. Verification of part authenticity and condition is critical due to the obsolescence status. Designers should confirm lead times and sourcing channels carefully before finalizing procurement plans for production runs.

Selection Notes

Select this device for applications requiring high logic density and significant embedded memory within the Stratix V family. Ensure the design fits within the 695,000 LE capacity and utilizes the available 36 transceivers. Verify that the 1517-ball FBGA package constraints meet the PCB layout requirements and that the thermal profile aligns with the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

Part of the Stratix V GS series, designed for cost-sensitive high-performance applications. It balances logic capacity with power efficiency compared to higher-end GX variants. The GS series typically targets mainstream digital signal processing and networking tasks where extreme performance is not the primary driver.

Replacement Considerations

As a discontinued product, direct replacements are limited. Consider migrating to newer Intel FPGA families such as Agilex or Arria 10 for long-term supply stability. Evaluate pin-to-pin compatibility if upgrading within the same package footprint, though architectural differences may require significant design rework.
