• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing Stratix V GX transceiver capabilities

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I4' against official Altera documentation to confirm the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the 1517-ball FBGA footprint matches the target PCB design constraints. Cross-reference the part number with current manufacturer lifecycle notices to confirm availability status prior to integration planning.

Selection Notes

Select this model when the application requires a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity. Compare the 420,000 LE count against alternative Stratix V variants if higher performance is needed. Verify that the 36 transceivers meet the interface requirements without necessitating external serializers/deserializers.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which is optimized for general-purpose applications requiring high-speed serial I/O. It shares the same package and core architecture with other members like the 5SGXEA4K3F40I2G but differs in temperature rating and specific suffix coding defined by Altera's naming convention.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Engineering changes should be validated against Altera's official Product Change Notification (PCN) documents to ensure pin-to-pin compatibility and functional equivalence.
