Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration against official datasheets to ensure compatibility with specific thermal and electrical requirements. Confirm end-of-life status and availability through authorized channels, as this component may be discontinued or subject to long lead times. Request original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and traceability before integration into production designs.

Selection Notes

Compare the 36-transceiver count and 420k LE density against project requirements to ensure sufficient resource headroom. Evaluate the 1517 FBGA package constraints regarding PCB layout complexity and thermal dissipation needs. Consider alternative Stratix V variants if higher I/O counts or different operating temperature ranges are required for the target environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX family, which targets high-bandwidth applications requiring substantial parallel processing and serial connectivity. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers, distinguishing it from standard Stratix V models focused primarily on logic density without extensive serial I/O capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Designers should consult official replacement guides or contact the manufacturer for validated cross-references due to potential pinout or feature differences.
