Procurement Notes

This component is listed as obsolete or end-of-life by the manufacturer. Availability is limited to existing stock or secondary market sources. Verify authenticity and condition carefully when sourcing from non-official distributors. Ensure compatibility with legacy design tools and confirm that no newer replacements are mandated by current project specifications before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this FPGA for designs requiring the specific logic density and I/O count of the Stratix V GS family. Consider the BGA-780 package constraints during PCB layout. Evaluate thermal management requirements due to the high integration level. Confirm that the Quartus Prime software version supports this legacy device family for successful compilation and programming.

Part Context

Part of the Stratix V GS family, designed for general-purpose applications balancing performance and cost. This series succeeded earlier generations while offering enhanced efficiency. The 5SGSMD3E variant represents a specific density tier within the broader Stratix portfolio, targeting mid-to-high volume production environments prior to its discontinuation.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitutes are confirmed for this obsolete part. Engineers should evaluate Intel Agilex or Stratix 10 families for migration, noting significant architectural differences. Legacy design files may require substantial rework to adapt to newer process nodes and toolchains. Consult official obsolescence notices for recommended transition paths.
