Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official manufacturer documentation to ensure correct voltage and temperature ratings. Confirm current availability status as distribution channels may list obsolete or end-of-life inventory. Cross-reference datasheet revisions to validate pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before integration into new designs.

Selection Notes

Select this model when high throughput and low latency are critical for signal processing tasks. Evaluate the 24-transceiver count against interface requirements to ensure sufficient serial connectivity. Consider the thermal management needs associated with the FBGA-1152 package and the 900 mV core voltage operation during system power budgeting.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Stratix V GX family, which targets high-performance computing and communications markets. It shares the 1152-pin form factor with other variants in the series but differs in logic density and transceiver configurations. The part represents a generation of FPGAs optimized for complex algorithmic implementations.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other Stratix V GX devices such as 5SGXEA3H3F35C2G or 5SGXEA3H2F35C2LG, provided they match the required I/O count and package type. Verify functional equivalence through detailed datasheet comparison rather than assuming pin-to-pin compatibility across different speed grades.
