Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm the specific suffix indicates the intended operating temperature range and package variant. Check for recent production change notices that may affect labeling or minor specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts and thermal management solutions before finalizing procurement orders.

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 requirement. Assess thermal dissipation needs given the high pin count and performance capabilities. Consider long-term supply stability as this family may have limited future manufacturing support.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-bandwidth applications requiring robust serial connectivity. It sits within the broader Altera FPGA portfolio, offering a balance between programmability and fixed-function performance. The part number structure identifies its specific logic size, package type, and environmental rating within the series.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes are not publicly confirmed for this specific part number. Engineers should evaluate newer Agilex families or legacy Stratix IV devices for functional equivalence. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility and software migration paths when considering alternative components.
