Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to legacy status. Confirm RoHS compliance and moisture sensitivity level handling requirements prior to assembly. Check for specific ordering suffixes that may indicate packaging or environmental variations. Ensure supply chain stability as the part may be subject to limited availability or end-of-life constraints.

Selection Notes

Compare against other Stratix V GX variants based on required logic density and transceiver count. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to the 900 mV core voltage operation. Consider thermal management solutions suitable for the 1517 FBGA package size. Assess compatibility with existing FPGA design tools and IP cores provided by Altera.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, targeting high-bandwidth and low-power applications. It shares architectural similarities with other devices in the series but offers specific capacity and I/O configurations. The part number indicates its position within the broader Altera portfolio of programmable logic solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not publicly confirmed for this specific part number. Engineers should evaluate newer generations such as Arria 10 or Stratix 10 for functional equivalence, noting potential differences in pinouts and software toolchains. Legacy support options may be available through official distributors.
