Field Programmable Gate Array Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'C5' corresponds to the required -5 speed grade and commercial temperature rating. Confirm the 956-pin FBGA package dimensions match the PCB footprint requirements. Ensure the source provides valid traceability documentation for this legacy component series.

Field Programmable Gate Array Selection Notes

Select this model when the design requires approximately 29K logic elements and significant embedded memory capacity. Consider the -5 speed grade if timing closure at higher frequencies is necessary. Evaluate power consumption against available cooling solutions due to the high pin count and performance capabilities.

Field Programmable Gate Array Part Context

This component is part of the Altera Stratix I family, designed for mid-to-high-end applications requiring substantial programmable logic. It succeeded earlier Cyclone and Apex families in performance density while maintaining compatibility with Quartus II development tools.

Field Programmable Gate Array Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may be limited due to the legacy status of the Stratix I family. Consider migrating to Stratix IV or V series for equivalent functionality with improved performance and availability, requiring schematic and layout redesign.
