• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers supporting multi-gigabit data transmission
• Substantial embedded memory capacity for on-chip buffering and storage requirements

Applications

• High-speed telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Advanced digital signal processing systems
• Enterprise networking switches and routers

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level prior to PCB assembly. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes from the manufacturer. Ensure proper handling procedures are followed given the fine-pitch BGA packaging. Validate pinout compatibility with existing board designs before procurement.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V variants based on specific I/O count and transceiver requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles against thermal management capabilities of the target enclosure. Consider software toolchain support availability for Quartus Prime design flows. Assess long-term supply stability for production volumes. Verify that the 1517 FBGA footprint matches the intended PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity. It sits between lower-density models like the 5SGXEA series and higher-end configurations. The 'C2' suffix typically denotes commercial temperature grading. It serves as a mid-to-high range solution for bandwidth-intensive applications requiring significant parallel processing alongside serial interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements may be limited within the same family. Consider upgrading to Agilex series devices for improved performance per watt. Legacy alternatives might include Stratix IV GX models, though feature sets differ significantly. Consult official cross-reference guides for functional equivalents if exact substitution is not possible.
