Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3LN' against official Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging details. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to procurement. Check for obsolescence notices or end-of-life declarations from the manufacturer. Ensure supply chain sources provide valid traceability and authenticity guarantees for legacy components.

Selection Notes

Compare the 340,000 LE count and 36-transceiver configuration against project requirements to ensure adequate resource utilization. Evaluate the 1152-ball FCBGA package constraints regarding PCB layout and thermal management. Assess the 0.87V-0.93V core voltage requirements for power delivery network design. Consider the 0°C to 85°C operating range relative to the intended environmental conditions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance serial I/O applications. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific logic and transceiver counts tailored for bandwidth-intensive designs. The part represents a generation of FPGAs emphasizing serial connectivity and dense logic integration.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific suffix combination. Evaluate higher-density Stratix V variants or newer Intel Agilex families for functional equivalence, noting potential software and hardware redesign requirements due to architectural differences.
