Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to handling. Ensure storage conditions meet specified humidity requirements to prevent package damage during assembly processes.

Selection Notes

Compare total logic element counts and transceiver bandwidth against specific design throughput requirements. Evaluate pin compatibility with existing PCB footprints given the 1517-FBGA package dimensions. Assess thermal management needs based on the 900 mV core voltage and expected switching activity levels.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-speed serial applications. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX variants but offers distinct resource configurations. The part represents a mature generation of FPGA technology from Altera, now Intel.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not publicly confirmed for this specific suffix configuration. Consider evaluating newer Agilex series devices or other Stratix V models with compatible pinouts and higher resource densities if performance upgrades are required.
