Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct speed grade and temperature rating. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to ordering. Check for any recent product change notices that may affect pinout or electrical characteristics.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against alternative Stratix V variants to match design constraints. Evaluate power consumption profiles under typical operating loads. Ensure the selected package size fits within the mechanical enclosure and thermal management specifications of the target board design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity alongside robust logic capabilities. It serves as a successor to earlier generations, offering improved performance per watt. The part number indicates specific logic capacity and package type within this strategic FPGA portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the discontinued status of many Stratix V parts. Consider Intel Agilex or Stratix 10 families for modern equivalents, though pin compatibility will differ. Verify functional equivalence if migrating from older Stratix IV or III devices.
