Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'I6N' against official Altera documentation to confirm the exact speed grade and commercial/industrial temperature rating. Ensure compatibility with Quartus Prime software versions that support the Stratix GX family. Confirm pinout requirements for the 1020-FBGA package during PCB layout planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require approximately 25K logic elements combined with integrated gigabit transceivers. Consider the 1020-ball package size constraints and the specific power supply requirements of 1.425 V to 1.575 V. Evaluate if the 1.94 Mbit embedded memory suffices for buffering needs before opting for external memory interfaces.
