Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against official Altera documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and package variant. Confirm moisture sensitivity level requirements during storage and handling. Check for end-of-life status or lifecycle changes before finalizing procurement plans. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprint designs regarding the 1932-ball FCBGA outline.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Compare logic element counts and transceiver speeds against alternative Stratix V variants to match specific throughput requirements. Evaluate power consumption profiles relative to available cooling solutions. Consider pinout compatibility if migrating from previous generation devices. Verify that the 50 Mbit embedded memory suffices for application buffering needs without external memory controllers.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. It represents a mature product line within Altera's FPGA portfolio, offering proven reliability for complex system integration. The device complements lower-density Arria and Cyclone families while providing specialized high-speed I/O capabilities distinct from the Stratix IV series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GX parts with similar logic density but different package or speed grades. Cross-family migration to Stratix 10 may require significant design re-verification due to architectural differences.
