Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix configuration when ordering, as variations such as C1G or C2N may exist. Confirm moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profiles prior to assembly. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting the Stratix V family. Check for end-of-life notifications or discontinuation notices from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring significant logic capacity combined with high-speed serial connectivity. Compare against other Stratix V variants based on specific I/O counts and transceiver requirements. Evaluate power consumption estimates against available cooling solutions. Ensure the chosen package size fits within the mechanical constraints of the target PCB layout.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. It represents a generation of FPGAs offering substantial parallel processing capabilities. The series is known for integrating hard processor system options in some variants, though this specific model focuses on pure logic and transceiver performance.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the specific pinout and feature set. Consider newer Agilex families for future-proofing, but verify pin-to-pin compatibility if upgrading existing designs. Cross-reference with similar Stratix IV or V models only if logical resource requirements can be met by lower-density parts.
