Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'W' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm if it denotes a specific tape-and-reel packaging option or a restricted environmental compliance variant, as standard datasheets often list 'N' or 'G' suffixes. Confirm current lifecycle status directly with the manufacturer, as this part may be subject to discontinuation notices. Ensure supply chain partners provide valid certificates of conformity for RoHS and REACH regulations prior to purchase.

Selection Notes

Select this model when system requirements demand high logic density combined with significant serial I/O bandwidth. Compare total embedded memory capacity against application buffer needs. Verify that the 1152-pin footprint fits within the target PCB design constraints. Consider thermal management solutions appropriate for the power consumption profile associated with full utilization of the 36 transceivers and logic fabric.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-end communications and computing markets. It succeeds previous generations by offering improved performance per watt and higher I/O counts. The 'MA4K' designation indicates a specific tier within the GX series, balancing logic resources with extensive serial connectivity options for scalable system designs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are not publicly documented for this specific suffix. Evaluate Intel Stratix V GT models for similar form factors if transceiver speed differences are acceptable. Cross-reference with Stratix IV GX devices for legacy compatibility, noting significant architectural and performance variances between generations.
