Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and packaging variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements for your assembly process. Check for obsolescence notices or production lifecycle changes as this is a mature Stratix V product. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions supporting this specific device family.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high-density logic combined with extensive serial connectivity is required. Compare against lower-tier Stratix V models if transceiver count or logic capacity exceeds design needs. Consider power consumption profiles relative to the 0.82V-0.88V core voltage range. Evaluate thermal management solutions given the 1152-ball BGA package density and industrial temperature rating.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, optimized for general-purpose applications requiring robust serial I/O capabilities. It sits alongside other Stratix V variants differentiated by transceiver counts and logic sizes. The 'GX' designation indicates enhanced serial transceiver performance compared to standard Stratix V devices. It represents a generation of FPGAs preceding the Stratix 10 series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Stratix V GX devices with similar I/O counts but different logic densities, such as 5SGXEA4K2F35C3N, though pinout and feature differences require careful verification. Cross-family migration to Stratix 10 GX requires significant redesign due to architectural differences.
