• Reconfigurable architecture enabling adaptation to evolving interface standards

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Data center interconnects and network switching systems
• Enterprise storage controllers and RAID subsystems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'WN' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm environmental ratings and quality certifications. Confirm current lifecycle status as this series may be discontinued or subject to long lead times. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management solutions before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against alternative Stratix V variants to ensure optimal resource utilization. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 850 mV core voltage requirement. Assess design complexity against the available 234,720 ALMs to prevent over-specification or resource constraints during implementation.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-speed serial communication markets. It shares architectural similarities with other 5SGX models but differs in pin count and I/O capacity. The GX designation specifically highlights its optimized transceiver capabilities for wireline applications compared to GT or GS variants.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the specific 1932-pin FBGA footprint and unique pinout. Consider Stratix V devices with identical package dimensions and comparable transceiver counts. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if substituting with other Altera or Intel FPGA families.
