Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to confirm package type and temperature grade. Confirm end-of-life status with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before design finalization. Ensure supply chain stability due to potential obsolescence risks associated with older FPGA families.

Selection Notes

Compare total logic density and transceiver count against current Agilex or Stratix 10 alternatives for future-proofing. Evaluate power consumption profiles at target clock speeds relative to thermal constraints. Verify pin compatibility if migrating from previous generation devices within the same package footprint.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance serial communication applications. It sits between the GS and MX series in terms of transceiver capabilities and logic density, offering a balance of I/O flexibility and serial throughput for demanding industrial and communications markets.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements are not publicly confirmed for this specific obsolete part number. Consider migration paths to newer Intel FPGA families such as Agilex or Stratix 10, though these require schematic and layout redesigns due to architectural differences.
