Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to ensure correct temperature grade and package variant. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Check for end-of-life notices or lifecycle status updates from the manufacturer. Ensure compatibility with current Quartus Prime software versions for programming and configuration. Validate supply chain authenticity through authorized distribution channels.

Selection Notes

Compare logic element counts and transceiver speeds against alternative Stratix V variants to match design complexity. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to available cooling solutions. Assess pin count and I/O availability against board layout constraints. Consider thermal performance within the specified operating temperature range. Verify that the 1152-ball package fits within the target PCB form factor.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, optimized for general-purpose high-performance applications. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific resource configurations. The part number indicates a specific logic density and package type within the broader Intel FPGA portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V GX parts with similar logic densities, such as 5SGXEA4H1F35C2LG, though pinouts and resources must be verified. Cross-family migration to Agilex or Stratix 10 requires significant redesign. Always consult official replacement guides for pin-compatible alternatives.
