Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity due to discontinued status. Confirm moisture sensitivity level (MSL 3) handling requirements during storage and assembly. Ensure compatibility with legacy Intel/Altera design tools. Check for specific revision markings that may affect pinout or electrical characteristics compared to active variants.

Selection Notes

Select this variant for designs requiring high logic density with moderate I/O counts. Compare against the 5SGSMD5K3F40C4G for extended temperature ranges if operating conditions exceed standard limits. Evaluate power consumption profiles against the 5SGSMD6K series for higher capacity needs.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GS family, targeting cost-sensitive high-performance applications. It shares the same core architecture as other D5K devices but differs in packaging and thermal specifications. The part number suffix indicates specific speed grades and environmental ratings defined by Intel.

Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitutes are confirmed. Consider the 5SGSMD5K3F40C4G for similar performance with different thermal ratings. Cross-reference with Intel's obsolescence notices for recommended migration paths to newer FPGA families.
