Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to soldering. Review the latest product change notices for any manufacturing updates or labeling modifications that may affect integration timelines.

Selection Notes

Evaluate total logic element requirements against the 840,000 LE capacity to ensure sufficient headroom. Assess transceiver count needs relative to the available 36 units for interface connectivity. Consider power supply design complexity associated with the 0.85V core voltage requirement and thermal management solutions for the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-end applications requiring significant bandwidth and power efficiency. It represents a mature generation of FPGA technology from Altera, now part of Intel, offering robust performance for legacy and established system designs before transitioning to newer Agilex architectures.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this specific suffix combination. Engineers should evaluate Intel Agilex 7 or Stratix 10 families for modern equivalents, noting that architectural differences require comprehensive design migration and re-verification.
