• Provides extensive programmable logic resources through Adaptive Logic Modules optimized for complex arithmetic and control functions.
• Includes substantial on-chip memory blocks suitable for buffering, caching, and FIFO implementations without external memory dependencies.

Applications

• High-speed optical transport networks and coherent transponders
• Baseband processing for wireless infrastructure
• Data center acceleration and network packet processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm temperature grade and package variant accuracy. Ensure compatibility with the Quartus Prime software version required for Stratix V device support. Confirm moisture sensitivity level handling procedures during assembly to prevent damage. Check for any product change notifications regarding pinout or electrical characteristics updates.

Selection Notes

Select this component when high-density logic combined with significant serial I/O bandwidth is required. Compare total transceiver count and memory capacity against application throughput needs. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to available cooling solutions. Consider the availability of development tools and IP cores compatible with the Stratix V architecture for design efficiency.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which emphasizes high-speed serial connectivity alongside robust logic capabilities. It represents a generation of FPGAs targeting demanding communication standards. The designation indicates specific logic density and package configuration within the broader Stratix portfolio.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the discontinued status of many Stratix V parts. Potential alternatives include newer Intel Agilex or Stratix 10 families, though these require significant redesign of logic utilization and pin mappings. Verify functional equivalence carefully before considering migration paths.
