Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct temperature range and package variant compatibility. Confirm end-of-life status or lifecycle recommendations prior to design finalization. Check for moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling procedures. Validate pinout assignments using the latest datasheet revisions to prevent integration errors.

Selection Notes

Compare logic element counts and transceiver specifications against alternative Stratix V variants to match performance requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles under typical operating conditions. Ensure the selected package size fits within the target PCB footprint constraints. Review available development tools and IP cores for software compatibility.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets gigabit networking and high-speed data acquisition markets. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the 5SGX series but offers distinct resource configurations. The part number indicates specific packaging and environmental ratings defined by Altera's naming convention.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V GX models with comparable logic density and transceiver counts. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if physical replacement is required. Consider newer Agilex families for improved performance metrics, though interface changes may necessitate redesign.
