Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix codes against official Altera documentation to ensure correct temperature grade and package variant. Confirm moisture sensitivity level and reflow soldering profile requirements prior to assembly. Check for end-of-life status or obsolescence notices from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designs require a balance of moderate logic density and high-speed serial connectivity within the Stratix V family. Compare against other 5SGX variants based on specific ALM counts and transceiver requirements. Ensure board layout supports the 1517-ball FCBGA footprint and thermal management needs for the specified operating range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Stratix V GX series, which focuses on general-purpose applications with integrated high-speed transceivers. It sits alongside the GT series, which offers higher performance but typically at increased cost and power consumption. The 5SGXEA3K designation indicates a specific logic density tier within this generation of Altera FPGAs.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-to-pin replacements are limited within the same family due to varying logic densities. Consider the 5SGXEA3K3F40I3G if a different temperature grade or minor feature set variation is acceptable. Upgrading to Agilex series devices may require significant redesign due to architectural differences.
