Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix C4N against official datasheets to confirm the commercial temperature grade and lead-free status. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as this component may be subject to end-of-life notices or limited stock conditions. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives and moisture sensitivity level requirements during handling and storage procedures.

Selection Notes

Select this model when a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity is required. Compare the 36 transceiver count and 19 Mbit memory against application bandwidth needs. Consider the 1517-pin package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate thermal management solutions for the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. It utilizes Altera's advanced process technology to deliver efficient power consumption relative to performance. The GX designation indicates the inclusion of high-speed transceivers essential for modern serial interfaces.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are not explicitly listed in available public documentation. Consider Stratix V devices with similar ALM counts or Agilex series components for future-proofing. Verify pin compatibility and software toolchain support before substituting.
