Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct temperature range and package variant. Confirm end-of-life status or obsolescence notices prior to procurement planning. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures.

Selection Notes

Compare logic element counts and transceiver specifications against alternative Stratix V variants to match design complexity. Evaluate power consumption profiles at target clock frequencies. Ensure PCB layout capabilities support the 1517-ball FBGA footprint and thermal management requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific resource configurations optimized for gigabit transceiver performance and dense logic integration in a single chip solution.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V GX models with similar I/O counts and transceiver numbers. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before considering cross-family replacements like Stratix IV or Arria series.
