Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'I3G' against official manufacturer documentation to confirm temperature grade and packaging details. Ensure compatibility with existing board designs regarding the 1932-pin FBGA footprint. Check for moisture sensitivity levels and reflow soldering profile requirements before assembly. Confirm end-of-life status or availability through authorized distributors if long-term supply is required.

Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Stratix V variants based on required transceiver count and logic density. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 850 mV operating voltage. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the FBGA-1932 package size. Verify that the 14.1 Gb/s transceiver speed meets system bandwidth requirements.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Altera Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. The 'GX' designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed serial transceivers. It succeeds earlier generations by offering increased logic density and improved energy efficiency per logic element compared to prior Stratix devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific part number. Engineers may consider upgrading to newer Agilex families for enhanced performance, though this requires significant design adaptation. Legacy support should be verified through Altera technical resources.
