Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and package variant against official manufacturer documentation before procurement. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure compatibility with required design software licenses. Check for any process change notifications that may affect mechanical or electrical specifications. Validate supplier authenticity through authorized distribution channels.

Selection Notes

Compare logic element counts and transceiver speeds against alternative Stratix V variants to ensure optimal cost-performance balance. Evaluate power consumption profiles under typical operating conditions. Assess pin-out compatibility with existing board layouts. Consider future scalability needs when selecting from the broader FPGA family. Verify thermal management solutions align with the device's heat dissipation characteristics.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific transceiver configurations optimized for serial data links. The part represents a mature technology node within Altera's portfolio, providing reliable performance for established design requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GX parts with similar logic density, such as the 5SGXEB5R3F40I3N, though verification of package and speed grades is essential. Cross-family migration to Arria or Cyclone series requires significant redesign due to architectural differences. Always consult official replacement guides for pin-compatible alternatives.
