• Extensive I/O interface options supporting diverse system connectivity requirements.

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• High-speed data acquisition systems
• Network switching and routing platforms

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' against official Intel/Altera documentation, as standard listings often utilize suffixes like 'G' or 'N'. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) prior to ordering. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documents. Check for any recent product change notifications that may affect pinout or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Compare the 622,000 LE count and 36-transceiver configuration against project requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles at target clock speeds. Consider the 1517-ball package size for PCB layout constraints. Verify compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions for design implementation and timing closure.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, optimized for general-purpose DSP and communications. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but distinguishes itself through its specific balance of logic density and high-speed serial connectivity capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to specific package and feature combinations. Consider Stratix V variants with similar logic counts, such as those ending in C3G, if the 'W' suffix denotes a specific regional or packaging variant. Consult Intel's obsolescence notices for lifecycle status.
