Procurement Notes

This component is officially listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Verification of current availability requires direct consultation with authorized distributors or secondary market suppliers. Buyers must confirm authenticity and storage history due to potential moisture sensitivity degradation over time. Replacement strategies should be evaluated immediately given the discontinued status.

Selection Notes

Engineers selecting this part should verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management designs. The specific suffix indicates commercial temperature grading; industrial variants may require different model numbers. Design tools such as Quartus Prime are necessary for configuration. Cross-referencing pinouts and power sequencing requirements against the official datasheet is essential for successful integration into new hardware platforms.

Part Context

This FPGA belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance serial communication applications. The series is characterized by its advanced transceiver technology and scalable logic density. As an Altera product, it utilizes the Nios processor ecosystem and integrates with Intel's broader FPGA portfolio, providing a standardized development environment for complex digital signal processing tasks.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Due to the end-of-life status, engineers should consult official migration guides from Intel/Altera for next-generation alternatives such as Agilex or Stratix 10 families.
