Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to end-of-life status. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements during storage and reflow. Confirm package integrity and pin alignment before installation. Review latest datasheets for any design-in updates or recommended layout guidelines to ensure signal integrity and thermal performance.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V variants based on specific LAB counts and transceiver availability. Ensure the 1517-ball FBGA footprint matches the PCB design constraints. Evaluate power consumption profiles against system cooling capabilities. Consider the operating temperature range suitability for the intended deployment environment.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GT family, optimized for high-performance serial interfaces. It shares the same physical package and I/O count as other devices in the series but differs in logic capacity and memory size. It serves as a bridge between mid-range and high-end FPGA solutions for demanding serial applications.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this specific model. Designers may consider migrating to newer Intel Agilex families for long-term supply stability. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if evaluating alternative legacy parts from the same manufacturer.
