Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to assembly. Ensure storage conditions meet JEDDEC standards to prevent damage. Review datasheet specifications carefully to validate electrical characteristics against design requirements before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required within a single FPGA die. Consider the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver capability for high-bandwidth serial links. Evaluate thermal management solutions suitable for the FBGA-1517 package. Compare against other Stratix V variants if different I/O counts or memory sizes better fit the specific application needs.

Part Context

This component is part of the Intel (formerly Altera) Stratix V GX family, designed for high-performance computing and communications. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers. It succeeds earlier generations like Stratix IV and precedes newer families such as Arria 10 and Agilex, offering a balance of performance and power efficiency for mid-to-high-end applications.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements may not exist across different FPGA families. Consider Intel Stratix V devices with similar logic counts or Arria 10 series for migration. Verify pinout compatibility and timing requirements when evaluating alternative components from other manufacturers.
