Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to confirm exact performance grades and environmental ratings. Confirm current availability status as distribution channels may vary. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and power delivery networks before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare the 48-transceiver count and 37 Mbit memory against project requirements to ensure sufficient resources. Evaluate the 14.1 Gb/s maximum data rate against interface specifications. Consider the 1517-pin package size for board layout constraints and thermal management needs relative to alternative devices in the Stratix V family.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which targets high-speed serial communication and complex logic processing. It utilizes Altera's advanced process technology to deliver high performance within a manageable power envelope compared to previous generations.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Intel/Altera migration guides for direct pin-compatible or functional equivalents within the Stratix V or Agilex families. Verify that any substitute maintains the required 1517-pin FBGA footprint and transceiver capabilities.
