Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation, as the provided model lacks the final character typically found in official part numbers. Confirm availability status, as this series may be discontinued or subject to long lead times. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity level requirements during handling and storage procedures.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V GX variants based on specific transceiver counts and logic element requirements. Evaluate thermal management needs due to the high pin count and power consumption characteristics. Consider the availability of Quartus Prime design software compatibility and existing IP cores for faster development cycles.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX family, which targets gigabit communications and complex signal processing. It sits alongside other high-end FPGAs like the Stratix IV and Agilex series, offering a balance of performance and cost for mid-to-high volume production environments requiring significant parallel processing capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the specific pinout and feature set. Consider Intel/Altera Agilex series for future-proofing, though pin compatibility will differ. Legacy equivalents may include Stratix IV GX devices, but verification of logic density and transceiver speed is required.
