Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official datasheets to confirm temperature grade and package variant, as minor changes may affect electrical characteristics. Confirm end-of-life status with the manufacturer or authorized distributors before finalizing design-in decisions. Ensure supply chain sources are authorized to mitigate counterfeit risks for legacy components.

Selection Notes

Select this model when designs require a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity within the Stratix V family. Compare total memory requirements against the 41.84 Mbit limit to ensure sufficient on-chip resources. Evaluate thermal management needs based on the -40°C to +85°C operating range and power consumption profiles typical for this logic density.
