Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C3N' against official Intel/Altera documentation to confirm the exact temperature grade and packaging specifications. Cross-reference the part number with current lifecycle status notices, as older Stratix V devices may have limited availability or end-of-life implications. Ensure compatibility with required Quartus Prime software versions before procurement.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Compare this model against other Stratix V variants based on specific logic element requirements and transceiver counts. Evaluate thermal management needs given the high pin count and power consumption associated with 14.1 Gb/s transceivers. Confirm that the 696 I/O limit meets interface requirements and consider alternative packages if board space constraints differ.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. It shares architectural similarities with other Stratix V devices but offers specific resource configurations optimized for gigabit Ethernet and optical networking applications. The family represents a mature generation of FPGA technology preceding the Agilex series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements are limited due to the maturity of the Stratix V platform. Consider Intel Agilex 5 or Agilex 7 FPGAs for new designs, requiring significant architectural migration. Verify pin-to-pin compatibility if substituting within the same package family, though logical differences necessitate design re-verification.
