Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official manufacturer documentation to confirm package type, temperature grade, and lead-free status. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding pinout and power requirements before procurement. Confirm current lifecycle status as components may be subject to discontinuation notices.

Selection Notes

Select this model when design requirements exceed the capacity of smaller Stratix V variants but do not necessitate the larger 9K series devices. Evaluate thermal management solutions suitable for the FCBGA package under maximum operating temperatures. Compare total memory bandwidth and transceiver counts against alternative FPGA families to ensure optimal resource utilization.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication applications. It sits between the lower-capacity 5K and higher-capacity 9K models within the 5SGXEA product line. The device represents a mature generation of Altera FPGAs, now managed by Intel after the acquisition of Altera.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed direct substitute part numbers are not available in the provided source material. Designers should consult official Intel/Altera cross-reference tools or engineering change notices for validated replacements. Consider migration paths to Agilex or Stratix 10 families for long-term availability.
