Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' against official manufacturer documentation, as this designation may indicate a restricted or non-standard commercial variant not widely listed in public distributor catalogs. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to integration. Ensure compatibility with current Quartus Prime software versions for programming and configuration requirements.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high logic density combined with significant embedded memory is required for complex algorithm implementation. The inclusion of numerous high-speed transceivers makes it suitable for parallel data processing tasks. Compare against the Stratix V GT series if lower power consumption is prioritized over raw throughput capabilities.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets general-purpose high-performance applications requiring substantial computational resources. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX devices but offers specific resource scaling. The part represents a mature generation of FPGA technology from Altera, now part of Intel.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Consider evaluating the Stratix V GT series or newer Intel Agilex families for functional equivalents, subject to pinout and resource verification.
