Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'N' against official Altera documentation to confirm environmental compliance and lead-free status. Confirm availability as this part may be discontinued or subject to long-lead times. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management solutions before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare the 490,000 LE density and 48-transceiver configuration against project requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles at the 850 mV operating voltage. Consider the 1932-ball package size for board layout constraints. Verify that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets signal integrity needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-bandwidth applications requiring significant serial connectivity. It sits between lower-density Stratix IV devices and higher-end Stratix V GT models, offering a balance of logic resources and transceiver performance for mid-to-high volume industrial and communication markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific density and package combination. Consider migrating to Agilex series devices for future-proofing, though this requires schematic and layout redesign. Consult Altera support for legacy obsolescence management strategies.
