• Integrated high-speed serial transceivers for advanced communication interfaces
• Robust thermal performance suitable for demanding industrial environments

Applications

• Telecommunications infrastructure equipment
• Industrial automation and control systems
• Test and measurement instrumentation

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Intel/Altera documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to assembly. Check for any recent product change notices that may affect pinout or electrical characteristics. Ensure sourcing channels provide genuine components with traceability records.

Selection Notes

Compare logic density and transceiver counts against alternative Stratix V variants to match design complexity. Evaluate power consumption profiles under typical operating conditions. Assess compatibility with existing Quartus Prime software versions and IP cores. Consider board space constraints imposed by the 1517-ball FBGA footprint during mechanical design.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and networking. It succeeds earlier Stratix generations in terms of logic efficiency and transceiver speed. The device integrates hard processor system options in some variants, though this specific part focuses on pure FPGA fabric capabilities.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GX devices with similar logic counts, such as 5SGXMA3K2F40I3N or 5SGXEA7K2F40I2LN, subject to pin-to-pin compatibility verification. Upgrades to Agilex series may require significant redesign due to architectural differences.
