Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and packaging specifications. Confirm current lifecycle status as distribution availability varies by region. Request original manufacturer datasheets to validate pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before integration into design files.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against specific application bandwidth requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to available cooling solutions. Ensure the selected variant matches the required operating temperature range for the target environment. Verify software toolchain compatibility with Quartus Prime versions.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. It shares the same 1517 FBGA footprint with other variants in the series, facilitating potential board-level upgrades or downgrades within the same package constraint while adjusting for performance needs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GX devices with identical pinouts such as 5SGXEA7N2F40C2L or 5SGXEA7K3F40C2L. Verify that logical capacity and transceiver configurations meet system requirements when selecting an alternative part number from the same family.
