Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to the device's specialized nature. Confirm that the specific suffix matches the required operating temperature and package variant. Check for moisture sensitivity level compliance during storage and handling. Ensure design files are compatible with the supported Quartus Prime software versions. Validate supply chain documentation against official manufacturer records.

Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Stratix V GX variants based on specific logic element counts and transceiver requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 900 mV core voltage operation. Assess thermal management needs given the high pin count and density of the 1517-ball FBGA package. Consider future scalability if migrating from older FPGA generations.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-bandwidth applications requiring substantial parallel processing capabilities. It represents a generation of FPGAs optimized for dense logic and high-speed serial communication interfaces, serving as a bridge between general-purpose processors and fixed ASIC solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other Stratix V GX devices with similar transceiver counts or logic densities. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if substituting within the same package type. Consider migration paths to newer Intel Agilex families for improved performance-per-watt metrics.
