• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Industrial-grade thermal performance for demanding operational environments

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Data center interconnect solutions
• Enterprise networking hardware

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix C1G against official datasheets to confirm the commercial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C). Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 1517 FBGA package. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures prior to assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density and significant embedded memory are required alongside high-speed serial connectivity. Compare against other Stratix V variants based on specific LAB counts and transceiver availability. Validate that the 696 I/O count meets interface requirements without excessive pin multiplexing.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, designed for high-performance applications requiring substantial parallel processing and serial communication capabilities. It represents a mature generation of FPGA technology from Altera, now part of Intel, offering robust reliability for established industrial and telecommunications designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other Stratix V GX devices with similar logic densities, such as the 5SGXEA7K series variants. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution. Consider newer Agilex or Stratix 10 families for future-proofing, though architectural differences require design re-evaluation.
